Only 4 tables and 12 seats but maaaan this food is the bomb. I grew up eating stews and rice for lunch in far away lands and this hits the spot. I think I inhaled my giant plate in 2 min. We'll seasoned, everything tasted good (carne, rice, red beans, maduros). Will come back when Im in the area again. Thank you to polite staff too for supporting my Spanish :)

Delicious and Authentic Dominican food. If you’re looking for the best rice, beans and pernil - this is the spot. It’s a small restaurant but the service is great, we were in and out, fairly priced. Definitely worth the try.

I was on the hunt for new food spots and stumbled across this gem. I went with my family, and let me just say—the food was incredible! I had the moro de gandules with beans and pernil, and the portion was so generous that one plate could easily feed two. My kids shared white rice and beans with beef stew (bistec), and they absolutely loved it.

Both women working there were super kind and welcoming—true hospitality vibes all around. 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back 😌. The prices are more than fair, especially considering how much food you get.
