Food was very well presented. portions are enough for two. it was clean and I really appreciate that they don't tag you with an extra charge for using your debit or credit card.

Malecon Restaurant on 97th Street is a vibrant and welcoming spot, often buzzing with energy and local music. It is widely considered the best Dominican spot in the area, with fantastic food and spot-on flavors. The menu features delicious Dominican classics, including an amazing rotisserie, mofongo with chicken and gravy, seafood dishes, bistec encebollado, churrasco, and parrillada. Sides like sweet plantains, rice and beans, and chicken soup are packed with flavor. The fresh fruit juices are also delicious. Portions are large, ensuring no one leaves hungry, and the pricing is extremely well-priced.
The service is fast, efficient, attentive, friendly, and unmatched, with a very supportive staff. The atmosphere is great, vibrant, and comfortable, busy but not too overcrowded, making it great for a casual dine-in experience. While most food is consistently fresh and great, there can be rare inconsistencies, such as an overly salty arroz con pollo. Overall, it is a favorite go-to place in the neighborhood for many.
