Dominican Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“My family enjoyed the food we ordered last night. It was our first time ordering from this restaurant. We enjoyed everything and the guacamole was super !!“

“I’ve been eating Latin food all my life. Passed this restaurant so many times that I had no order choice but to stop in this time because I was hungry. I’ll tell you what, if you are into eating great food, meeting awesome people and spending hard earned money…do all of those things right here! The food here is cooked with Love!❤️.“

“Some of the best Dominican food you're gonna find anywhere outside the island.Spectacular food made fresh every day and a wide variety of dishes and drinks. They used to be cash only, but have an ATM inside and now accept card payments.Definitely my favorite place in the city. Try the mofongo with roast pork. It's extra garlicky and packed with flavor. The rice and beans are always perfect, and so is their pernil (pork shoulder). The appetizers are also worth checking out.Small place, and it gets crowded quick. Totally a place to visit if you're in the city or curious about Dominican food.Vegetarian options: Not many options, but the few that are available are great.Parking: Really depends on time of day.“

“Friendly staff Juana is a very pleasant and attentive. Food counter right at the entrance so you can get a bite even when you're in a rush. Nice interior with comfy seating area slightly raised with steps. I got Los Tres Golpes with Yucca. Juana asked me if I wanted onions with it and I am so glad I said yes. The acidity from the pickled red onion cut the saltiness of the Salchichon and paired nicely with the yucca which was soft and flaky. I was pleasantly surprised by the eggs because the whites were nicely crispy on the edges but the yolk was simultaneously cooked, gooey, and runny. The dish was a great combo of textures and flavors especially when I threw a lil hot sauce on the fried cheese. Great filling way to start the day!!“

“I’ve been following the owner for years now and when I found out she settled in Philadelphia, since then, I’ve traveled countless times from New York just to have a taste of THIS Dominican food and I’ve got to say it’s absolutely amazing. Very authentic, flavor is delicious, customer service is super friendly and welcoming. The drinks are refreshing and are made CRISP daily, the atmosphere is cozy and a great space just to vibe. Summer time dinning in has AC and it’s on BLAST making the atmosphere comfortable. If you’re looking for great authentic Dominican cuisine in Philadelphia I’d recommend KAKU.“

“If you're looking for a local business with affordable pricing, friendly Spanish speaking staff, delicious and satisfying meals, all in a nice setting then this is your spot!The staff was really welcoming and friendly, taking the time to explain the menu options and pricing.I ordered the stewed chicken ("Pollo al Orno" or "a la Olla") with white rice, yucca, and avichuelas (pinto beans). The chicken was packed with flavor. The beans were stewed until the broth was rich and savory (honestly my fave part so good). This came with a refreshing salad with purple cabbage and fresh lettuces. (it was colorful and crisp). To top it all off it was suuuuuper reasonably priced. $11 for a delicious and satisfying meal.Vivaldi Restaurant has a sleek and modern aesthetic, but still comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained so that always makes eating enjoyable and relaxing.Wheelchair accessibility: The floor is smooth, clean, level, and flat.“

Most of the patrons are regulars so we bump into each other often.The food is authentic, flavorful, and great portions.The staff (front and back) are attentive and welcoming.The atmosphere is clean and cultural.The only BUMMER is that they close earlier since the pandemic, so get there before 4 pm for an awesome time!“

“Absolutely delicious pernil, tostones, and rice. Sitting near the wall of plants with the music playing made for a perfect meal. I never remember to take pictures before I eat, so this picture has 1/3 of the food gone and I'm already delightfully full.“
