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.

This restaurant is not by far what it used to be. Service is super slow despite having enough people. it used to be one of my favorite places... it such a shame that management is rarely visible. I hope things will get better there...🫣

One of the best Dominican restaurants in the city. They have been here for a very long time and woth today's ever-increasing Latin cuisine establishments, Merengue Restaurant is still holding up to the competition.
