Previous reviews are correct. The food is old. I got an Alcapurria, 2 Morcilla's, and $8 worth of chicharron.
One of the two morcilla's I ordered was hard and old.
The other was freshly made, it was decent. The taste of blood was more prominent and not in a good way.
The chicharron was not crispy and was the cheapest pork I've ever ordered from a restaurant. Barely could pull it apart from how cheap it was. The alcapurria had little filling, cheap meat. The outside was hard and oily and made with frozen yuca instead of fresh yuca.
Wouldn't come back but the staff were nice and the place was clean

I've been going here for years and went last night around 9pm for take out. The women that served me were friendly, engaging, professional and prompt. They made suggestions about additions for my meal. The portions were generous and we talked about the DR and Presidente beer. When I got home to eat, the food as always, was absolutely delicious 😋. Thank you Prospect Ave Cucuifritos!!! ☺️

The food is pretty decent. Nothing really stands out with that wow factor. However, service got better over the years as the staff is a bit more respectful.

Today I visited this place because I like Dominican food, I am a chef and I like how they prepare some foods in this place but in this place the attention is horrible, especially from the owner of the establishment. Today I ordered a soup and I got it. They served in a disgusting way, I attach the photo, I hope they change that because the food is good

Mannie and the team make food from the heart! The cooks make home style classics. My Cubano sandwich today was a 10!
