Went today, was waiting for a table and they cut 2 families before us and we were literally standing in front of the restaurant. Very disappointed. Wish I could give 0 stars

The staff is rude and seating system is extremely disorganized. They gave our table away to another group after they had already been seated just because they wanted the extra room. Ordered 2 plates of steak without onions and both came with onions. All of the food is way too salty. Waitress/manager handed our order of tacos to a different group twice and still gave them to us after already handing it off. Don’t recommend.

The food here is great , very authentic. Service is good as well reminds me of being in Dominican Republic. Prices are very great and for the servings you get it’s very much worth it

I really wanted to love this spot after hearing good things, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. I stopped by on a rainy day with my two little ones to grab a quick bite. Two empanadas and some pork belly that was already cooked and ready to go. The place wasn’t busy at all, but the person at the register was moving incredibly slow, almost like it was intentional.

I politely asked if she could please hurry since I had the kids and we were getting wet. Instead of understanding, she rolled her eyes and plopped the bag on the counter with an attitude.

The food didn’t redeem the service either. The empanadas were dry and barely had any filling. The pork belly was okay flavor-wise, but most of the portion was just fat.

Not the experience I was hoping for and definitely not worth the hype.

I was visiting from Connecticut and decided to Google a Spanish Dominican restaurant and little did I know this little gem popped up and I was so close. The atmosphere was a 10 out of 10 not to mention they were playing, my favorite songs and the food was even better. I was craving some rice and beans and I’m so glad that I stumbled upon this place on my next visit. This will be the first place. I’m stopping at the service was great And I enjoyed. I went for a second time before I left back home to Connecticut. I will definitely be back 10 out of 10.

I get it’s a tourist spot, but $20 for small portion of rice and meat, no plantains, no salad is a rip off. I didn’t purchase after seeing the portion.
