The Cloister Grill is a hidden gem near The Cloisters, offering a delightful dining experience with authentic Dominican and Puerto Rican food. The chicken is moist and delicious, and the fried plantains are yummy. The beef is incredibly tender, and the restaurant also serves excellent bistec, rotisserie chicken, chuleta (pork chops), and pernil, all at reasonable prices. The rabo is rich, tender, and full of flavor, with the fresh chinola juice made with real fruit, pulp, and seeds. The tostones are crisp and made from scratch, not frozen, and the chicken easily falls off the bone. Even the steamed vegetables are perfectly blanched and lightly seasoned. The friendly staff provides fantastic service, making customers feel like guests in their own home. The place is clean, with well-maintained bathrooms, tables, and dining areas, and everything seems to be cooked with love. Many say it feels like landing in Aguadilla or stepping into a spot that reminds them of home. This restaurant has quickly become a favorite, especially for those craving authentic Dominican flavors like braised oxtails and bacalao.
