There no place to sit and eat. It gets bust here. I had the rice with black beans and stew chicken. The rice was slightly salt but still tasty. I also had the shredded cassava with cheese thing-that was truly 10/10

This restaurant places preferences on non-Black people. They allowed hispanics to skip others who do not appear as Latinx.

I went today to get food. Their lining system is very unproductive and they do not keep mind of the order. They allowed someone who was Latinx to skip me and when I addressed it to the client, it became an argument, rather than them acknowledging the concern and addressing the issue, they defended the client who skipped me. I speak Spanish, which they ignored of me because I am Black. Even after the argument, we both got our foods and they said in spanish that they were trying to push me out.

This place is racist and their food isn’t even that good. I will be working with community members to address the anti-Blackness of this restaurant. Dominicans are racist and it’s sad that a place that has many Black Dominicans, they do not identify as such and treat Black presenting people differently.

Please do not go here. They’re racist!

I ordered from this place on Saturday and had food poisoning. It was the only thing I ate on Saturday and ended up throwing up for hours and having stomach issues. And still currently recovering from all of that. Ya’ll should be ashamed! The dishes I ordered was the espaguetis and pastelon.

The food is definitely 100% great Dominican dishes.
The service is great all around.
Cooked fresh every day.
I’ve noticed that some clients claim it’s cash only and that’s not true, payments can be made with all major credit cards and Zelle.
If you haven’t had one of there hardy dishes, you are missing out a great lunch. Tryout the breakfast dishes combinations. There’s nothing like their daily made hot Avena to warmup the body in these cold mornings. A great way to get the day started. “Buen provecho a todos”

Been coming here for years. The food is amazing and they need no introduction and the lady’s who work there seen me and my family grow up but the line for food doesn’t move. 😂 when alex is there is yelling out “the line, the line, the line” but sometimes it’s just too much. 😂 so please come in and be patient and appreciate that they are now accepting cards!

Food is excellent authentic Dominican food prepared, seasoned, cooked and served. The staff could work on their skills of mastering the arts of customers should all be seem in the same ways but " hey aim Dominican too but I do understand old habits-that Bushwick is gone forever" the owner and family that works at this location should just stop working there right now cause you all made this place politically handicap.
