I came here with my family for my birthday. We loved the food, the food is authentic Dominican food and the owner is very friendly. I recommend “El Final” platter, “Dominican York Roll” and “El Pharoah.” lastly, the oxtail empanadas were really good! We will be coming back!

This restaurant was very casual, a BYOB, with GREAT food. I didn't know what Dominican Fusion Sushi was - and it was amazing! We tried 4 different rolls and they were all good. We also had the Picadera for 4. Perfect portions! Service was good too. Definitely recommend! ?

We originally went to the restaurant because my daughter wanted to go here for her birthday. We went to inquire about arrangements. We were greeted warmly by the owner. We sat down to eat and was greeted by a server who was his daughter. She was very attentive and he later brought a complimentary sample of their beef stew and chicken stew with arroz con gandules. It’s the best arroz con gandules I have had in a while. You can taste the coconut and everything was savory. I also had the crab empanada and it came with this yummy creamy garlic sauce. The chips cabra sushi was absolutely amazing. My husband has the chicharrón de pollo and it was also very good. Great place. Great vibes. I would definitely come again!

I was told about Nilo by my daughter who stubbles upon it one day. We love the food there. I have tried several plates including the sushi. The carne guisada with Moro is to die for. My daughter is 12 and loves the pernil and white rice and beans. We were recently in Mexico and she kept saying that she couldn’t wait to get home to eat at Nilo’s. The same day we returned we brought her the pernil and white rice and beans! It is a BYOB and family friendly atmosphere. At times there is a Flamenco dancer other times a singer and it is just a fun place. The owner is very nice and always takes care of us. I have recommended to other friends and they were very pleased as well.

Amazing food and even better service.
I was surprised that this place hasn’t had the right buzz yet, the food is top tier. We tried the spicy empanada de cangrejo, the jerked turkey burger, bistec guisada con arroz y habichuela and the Karol G roll. . .to die for. Que comida tan buena. Ahora si se pueden casar. And it’s super affordable. Bring the whole family.
