This place has such great deals and the food is excellent. I had stew chicken with yellow rice and peas for only $9!! They gave me enough to feed three people!?
Do not eat here if you are or African American, a woman, LGBT+, LGBT friendly or care about respectful service and human dignity. I have been a longtime customer there but on recent visits two male staff have made racist and homophobic comments about me and my friends and made a sexiest comment about my female friend's rear end. The remarks were made in Spanish but -- surprise -- we are native speakers and heard every word! I spoke about this rude, disrespectful treatment with the woman at the register, but she shrugged it off. ZERO STARS

Cashier is RUDE and TERRIBLE customer service!!!!! I ordered delivery and was missing an item. i called in to complain and was never given an apology just “are you coming back or no!” The price i pay for something i order all the time changes depending on who is behind the register! I was hung up on as i’m trying to explain that i am never charged this particular price for the same time i order almost every other day! I will NEVER spend another Penny in this place ever again!!! The manager is even worse!!!

This is my favorite spot. It was recently renovated. I've been coming here for years. The food is good. You walk in and can sit anywhere you want. They also have a take out window where you can pick what you want and take it to go. I like to sit down and eat though. The service is quick. I always order the baked chicken and yellow rice. The meal comes with beans and a salad. I also order sweet plantains. Once you're done, the server brings you your check and you pay up front at the register. The food is affordable. I really like this restaurant.

Stopped in for lunch based on other yelp reviews as I was in the neighborhood. Very spacious and clean seating areas. Staff behind the lunch buffet counter did not greet me but when I walked up I asked if I ordered there to sit down and eat. Staff was quickly responsive and directed me to sit where I like as a waitress would be with me soon. A very pleasant waitress attended to my drink and food order. She was attentive to me needing extra napkins and checking in to see how my meal was after I began eating. Ordered the chicken stew lunch special. The chicken had really good seasoning. The beans too. The rice didn't taste as fresh nor did the sweet plantains (reason for 4 stars). But the amount of food was plenty. The tamarind juice brought me back to my childhood in DR. Will be visiting again. Enjoyed my dining experience.

Decided to patronize this establishment even after reading a lot on negative comments about the staff, the food is mediocre but I experienced first hand the NASTY DISGUSTING attitude first hand. My wife and I went to get food, I'm none Spanish speaking, she's bilingual spanish as second language, I proceed to place my order in english, the person taking my order had such a bad attitude and processed to start speaking to another employee along side him in Spanish I'll speaking us. My wife caught on to what they were saying and decided to call him out on it, his response was "if you speak Spanish why would you order in English" only then when he noticed that she can understand and speak Spanish his attitude some what changed and he wanted to be apologetic. At this point we were so disgusted and decided to just walk out. I will never advise anyone to patronize its establishment. If I can rate this place zero I will.
I order "Carne Guisada" here regularly on Saturday nights. Although prices have increased, this dish is good and plenty! Their "Chicharron" is sometimes a bit dry, but I don't order much of that and I haven't tried other dishes. I give it 5 stars for my personal experience. Staff is pleasant and the place is always busy.

Food was excellent. Service was great. Stopped in for lunch found prices fair, plenty of choices, big servings, but most importantly the food was delicious and authentic. It’s a little easier to communicate if you know Spanish but they try their best and the language of food transcends it all.
