I went here earlier in the year and my time was amazing over here. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the dining experience was so rich. I had the Mofongo Burger and Strawberry Smoothie and the meal tasted delightful. I will definitely plan to comeback here in the future.

September 2025

I can't evaluate the food since I placed the order and canceled. I used to go there often, but I don't know if the food and services are the same. Since I don't come to Boston too often, I redeemed a gift card from the restaurant. It was odd since the person who swiped the card said it didn't have funds, but the 800 number said it does. Who to believe it. I may try next time; otherwise, I'll trash it.

August 2025

Great restaurant with a upbeat atmosphere. The food is delicious and flavorful. Prices are slightly higher than regular Dominican restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful. Server was friendly.
Parking is tough as there is not lot. Only side street parking.
