Service was horrible! Lady looked me in my face for 6 minutes (I counted) as she wiped down one plate never asked if she could help me. Only one table of guests other then that spot EMPTY so…then my food was trash!! Rice came from the bottom of the pot (hard and crunchy) I am a FIRM believer in tipping. I tip everyone every where even the gas attendants but she acted as if she did not want to serve me. Is this place only for Dominicans or…..will never return

It is a Dominican restaurant, the food too, good service. Advisable.

The service is so disgusting, I didn’t care for the food at this point and I regret driving 30 minutes for a terrible establishment. I arrived all three women had a nasty look on their faces. When I said my name for pick up no one responded back. When I tried to request more food to go, 2 of the three women sucked their teeth. Not one person said a word as far as the food being ready. I literally spoke to myself in the mirror and waited and waited and waited until I spoke up and told all three their service is terrible. The younger woman got nasty with me and told me I need to wait. Those were the only words I heard since walking in. They attended a older man that walked in AFTER me. They all flirted with this man and I stood waiting for my food with my child. I walked out with $50 worth of food to go and they didn’t have bags aswell for me to carry the food out. I was with my 3 year old who has a disability. I struggled with him for his safety when walking out because of all the food I individually had to carry by hand. When I asked for help, the OLDER woman at the register said in a ugly accent “sorry for you”. When I tell you, you are better off at a food truck than this rotten place. They are not deserving of any service. No hospitality, no smiles, no help, no human being behavior. Those women are in the wrong industry flirting with men. Disgusting. NEVER again!

There wasn't much to choose from. The chicken tasted smoked, the Moro was good. They have good customer service. They should have more varieties.
During a recent visit to El Merenguito, I was accompanying my grandmother with my service dog. Our intention was to pick up some food to take home and enjoy together. However, our experience at the restaurant was far from pleasant.
Upon entering, we were met with immediate hostility from the staff. They gave us looks and made it clear that they were uncomfortable with the presence of my service dog. Despite explaining that my dog is essential for my well-being, they adamantly refused us entry. I respectfully stepped out with my service animal and was waiting by the parking lot when the manager also stepped out to watch me, which was very strange. I have never had that happen to me and felt uneasy.
Their behavior was not only disappointing but also deeply disrespectful. As someone who relies on a service animal, I expect to be treated with understanding and courtesy, especially in public establishments. The staff's rudeness and lack of empathy made what should have been a simple transaction an unnecessarily stressful ordeal.
Due to this experience, I cannot recommend El Merengutio to anyone, especially those with service animals or disabilities. It's crucial for businesses to educate their staff about ADA regulations and to treat all patrons with dignity. I hope that in the future, El Merenguito will reconsider their approach to customer service and accessibility.
If you're considering dining at El Merenguito, I urge you to think twice, especially if you require accommodations or support.

I bought stewed chicken and baked chicken, although they were a little salty, it is good food. I recommend it.
