“We cannot thank Angie and her wonderful staff enough for my sister's bridal shower! Angie and everyone were very attentive to our wants and needs in making this the best bridal shower for my sister Natalie. From the food to the decor, Angie's was the perfect place to host our party.

When arriving, we had very minimal setup to finish on our end, as Angie's decorated perfectly to our taste, so elegant and clean, and cannot thank them enough for even going out of their way to move the display refrigerator out of our space for maximum room.

I could gush all day about the amazing work Angie and her team did, thank you for making Natalie's bridal shower a smash hit and a beautiful memory!“

Empanada De Carne

“I was at a local school and walked here for lunch after finding it on Google. The service was impeccable! I ordered the classic Dominican dish, "Tres Golpes" aka Three Hits and was super satisfied. I offered to pay but was told to eat my lunch first and deal with the bill later. I appreciated that.When I saw that the eggs were slightly runny, the young lady gladly took them back and recooked them. The place was filled with some old timers who were cracking jokes and enjoying each other's company as Jose Luis Rodriquez played in the background. One of the workers sat by me and ate his lunch. It was a really cool and laid back, old-school vibe as if I was having a meal in Santo Domingo. I will return again.“

“The service at the place is very good, the waitresses are always waiting to see if you need anything, but if you arrive at times when there is too much attention, they don't have it, due to the amount of people, the rest is fine. The atmosphere is calm and you can enjoy your food peacefully. The food is very good, the menus are varied and the à la carte dishes are very well served and well prepared. The onion, for example, is very good!! This is the place I go if I feel like one!!“

“Great food. The pork I had was on another level of good. I wish I knew the name of it. The rice was a bit dry, but we did come in at the end of the day and had the buffet. My wife really enjoyed her chicken stew with noodles. I used the tortillas like it was my job to clean that plate. The tamarind juice makes me want to learn how to make that drink. If I'm in the area, I would definitely go back. It was Labor Day, and they were one of the only spots open.“
