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 :)

It was my first time at the restaurant and I love their food. Their food tastes really good and mostly affordable. A very good review of this restaurant motivated me to check them out and I wasn’t disappointed! I will love to visit again. Dominican foods are awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰

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.
