Spanish Restaurants near Waterbury, CT

“Great family owned restaurant. Great food and great customer service. I would definitely recommend INGAPIRCA.“

“New favorite Dominican spot in Waterbury!! 🇩🇴 Better flavor than Via Al Paraiso. I used to go there all the time for Dominican food, however, this place has better flavor in my opinion (I tried their shrimp mofongo, pernil, and saltfish). Also, Via Al Paraiso is so stingy with their shrimp 🍤 with the shrimp mofongo...this place is NOT!! A much better portion for the money!!
Also,the woman at the counter was so nice!! She let me try some of the food while I was waiting on my mofongo!! 🥰“

“DO NOT JUDGE BY APPEARANCE!!

This place is a diamond in the rough. The food is deLICious! ESPECIALLY the smoked/bar-b-qued chicken. OMG, could eat that every day!

The owner talked to us for about 20 minutes. (Nice guy!) Over the past 5 years he’s had to keep increasing the size of his smoker because of the increase in customers. He’s about to do it again. The new one will fit 15 spits! Let that be an indication of how good this food is!

There were a few things I wish were different. There was no menu at the counter and nothing was labeled. If you’re not familiar with Caribbean dishes, you won’t know what to order. Of COURSE they’ll help you, but labels/menu would help. Also a larger selection of drinks would be nice. (Meaning non-alcoholic drinks.)

And, yeah, the place isn’t pretty. But, folks, you don’t HAVE to eat there. We did, and that’s how we met the owner. Worth it!

Seriously, try this place. Try that chicken! Soooooo good!“

“Generous portions, delicious food, reasonable prices, detailed receipt, and they didn't even mind me ordering in English/Spanglish, small indoor dining/waiting area, about $12 a meal (2 meals/with leftovers) Steaming hot trays coming out of the kitchen, and a big dinner bell that reminds me of my mom's house in the country and being called inside for dinner :)“
