“I Was Craving Some Real, Home-Cooked Food Like Rice, Beans, Just Something Filling & Comforting. Luckily, I Found This Spot On Yelp… And Wow, This Place Is A True Hidden Gem 💎. I Feel Blessed & Grateful That I Came Across It. This Is Authentic Dominican Food Made By True Dominicans, And You Can Taste The Love In Every Bite. It Really Brings A Piece Of The Island 🏝️ Right Here To Maryland Just Minutes From DC 🇩🇴. Parking Is Limited, But There Are A Few Spaces Directly In Front Of The Restaurant. The Space Is Small & Intimate, But Very Welcoming. It’s Only Been About A Year Since They Opened, But It Feels Like A Place That’s Been Around Much Longer Because Of The Love And Energy Inside. The Customer Service Here Is Top Tier!! 🌟 It’s Owned By A Husband & Wife “The Medinas” They Are Truly Special. So Warm, So Kind, & So Genuine. They Make You Feel Like You’re Being Welcomed Into Their Home For A Meal. 🥘 The Service Is Full Of Love & Care, You Can Feel Their Passion In Everything They Do. That Alone Would Bring Me Back… And Then The Food Just Seals The Deal Even More. WHITE RICE 🍚, RED BEANS 🫘, AVOCADO 🥑 & GRILLED SALMON 🍣 {Build Your Own Meal} 🍽️ EVERYTHING About This Plate Was Perfect!!!!! 😍 The Rice 🍚 Was Cooked Just Right With The Perfect Amount Of Salt. The Red Beans 🫘 Were Rich, Flavorful, & Surprisingly Had No Meat, Which I Loved. *So Many Places Add Pork, But Here They Automatically Cater To Different Dietary Preferences Without Sacrificing Flavor.* The Grilled Salmon Was Cooked Exactly How I Requested, Honestly Even Better Than I Expected. The Attention To Detail Was Impressive. And Of Course, The Avocado 🥑 Brought Everything Together For That Perfect Final Touch, I Left So Full & Satisfied. EXTRA SIDES: TOSTONES WITH GARLIC 🧄 Double-Fried, Flattened Plantains Lightly Salted And Topped With Garlic Oil (I Requested This And They Delivered). So Good & Perfect With The Rice & Beans. FRIED PLANTAINS 🍌 Made Exactly How I Like Them, Sweet, Perfectly Fried, & Not Overly Sweet. CHEESE EMPANADA 🥟🧀 OMG 😍 The Cheese Pull Was Insane. Crispy Outside, Loaded With Cheese Inside, They Did Not Skimp At All, So Delicious. MALTA 🥤 I Had To Get A Malta, A Traditional Dominican Drink That Paired Perfectly With My Meal. Sweet, Rich, & So Satisfying. I Had To Try As Much I Could To See What I Would Like & Everything Was Amazing. I Was Overwhelmed Yet Beyond Satisfied. Literally Everything They Make Is Delicious. 🤤 Super Reasonable Prices With Plenty Of Options. Some Food Is Ready Buffet-Style While Other Items Are Made To Order. You Can Dine In Or Take Out But I Highly Recommend Sitting Down & Enjoying The Full Experience If There’s Available Seats. This Place Is Something Special. Authentic Dominican Flavors, Amazing Hospitality, & Food Made With Real Love.💕 I’m Definitely Going To Be A Regular Here As Much As I Can. I Truly Hope They Get The Recognition They Deserve Because This Place Is Truly A GEM 💎.”
