Dominican Restaurants near Bethlehem, PA

“There is ABSOLUTELY something in the water on the south side of Bethlehem, because these Dominican restaurants do NOT miss. I took one bite and immediately got flashbacks of my mom yelling “eat first,” my grandma cooking since 6am, my aunties arguing over seasoning, and the whole family waiting on rice.

This food is made with love, soul, ancestors, and probably a little prayer. You can taste it. No shortcuts. No funny business.

The oven roasted chicken??? JUICY. Flavor everywhere. It’s got this slight sweet, almost barbecue-type vibe that sneaks up on you like “oh okay… I see what y’all did there.” I was minding my business and suddenly I’m scraping the plate like I paid rent there.

If you grew up on real Dominican food, this place will emotionally humble you. If you didn’t, congratulations — you’re about to understand why we don’t play about our food.

I will be back. Frequently. Possibly too frequently. 🇩🇴🔥🍗“

“The best restaurant in the area“

“Eugenia is an amazing server.
Extremely attentive, very fun to engage in conversation(especially if you’re Dominican) & hospitality is top tier.
She’s been working here the longest for what I can remember, and she hasn’t Changed her amazing service 💗

If you’re planning on dining in this authentic Dominican restaurant, ask for her. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Food is delicious. Friendly staff“

“It isn't a common practice of mine to stop and dedicate the time to leave a review. However, I feel it's fair and prudent to give credit to those who deserve it. I have not seen or experienced a food truck this clean, with service you'd expect from a top of the line restaurant and most importantly delicious food.It is not every day, nor everywhere, that you find a food place in which quality service, delicious food and good price are offered in a single package. Excellent work!“

“Fue algo muy apreciante tanto como el servicio y la comida 👍“

“I would like to start by saying that I’m not Dominican and I bumped into this place by accident and decided to try the Yaroas. I’m very familiar with Allentown and didn’t even know this place opened almost a year ago. Per Google, Yaroa is a Dominican street food of leyered fries, meat, and cheese, often topped with condiments. They don’t just sell Yaroas, their menu has a variety of items that is very appetizing. I tried the Yaroa-Tripleta. I believe it comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp over a layer of mashed sweet plantain or French fries. I asked to get half sweet plantain and half fries. It was DELICIOUS 🤤. The small size could feed two, but it was so good that I ate it all. I liked it better with the sweet plantain, but with French fries was very good also. I’m going there again because I want to try everything else out n the menu. The owners are very nice and welcoming people. I RECOMMEND IT.“

“I love eating here!food is deliciousAna is so lovely,comforting,welcoming,she makes you feel at home. Prices are affordable, low ,and regular.
She has different varieties and options each day of what she puts out to serve. My favorite thing about coming here is Anas service ,& not having to stress about cooking to have a lunch for work. Her food saves me lots of time and energy to make sure I have a good lunch for work! I love the empanadas,handmade juices ,her soup,her chicharron,and the salmon ,and mangu😍 I also love walking by the huge mirrored wall in the dining area.😍🥰the dining area is so beautiful,clean,spacious,bright lighting,big mirrored wall,big windows.
Ana does very well with sanitation and keeping her restaurant clean❣️“

“Great hospitality, and reasonable prices and big portions. Cozy place and good atmosphere and inspirational music. Gracias Mayra por tu tiempo y hospitalidad con mi tía abuela.“

“The food is GREAT. We keep going back. We’ve probably eaten take out from here more than anywhere else in the last year or two.Service dog friendly. They asked the first time and left us alone about it since. 10/10, love being treated like just another patron.

Parking: It’s 7th street a block or two before the PPL center. Good luck with street parking. It’s either easy to snag a spot or really really hard. There’s North Lot a little down the block on the right, which is also paid.“

“Best Latin place in the area. The food and atmosphere are on par with the food on the islands and that's the best compliment a place can get. My sandwich and tostones were prepared to perfection. The service and atmosphere are top tier. It has vibes of the islands. This is our new place now.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection! I ordered the beef chimi, and it was bursting with flavor, juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. If you’re in the area and craving authentic Dominican food, this is the place to go!“

“I always stop here after church on Sunday and I order the rice and gandules but the only thing the peas were not cooked all the way and I could not return it because I already ate some of the food now any other time the food is good but it was this one time.“

“Went here with a couple friends after hearing good things, and overall it was a solid experience. The food felt very home-style and comforting, especially the rice and beans which were seasoned really well. Portions were decent for the price, so you don’t leave hungry. The staff was friendly enough and checked in without being over the top. It did get a little busy, so the wait was slightly longer than expected, but nothing too crazy. Music and vibe made the place feel lively and authentic. Not everything blew me away, but nothing disappointed either.“

“me.encanta..su.comida..el.mofongo.riquisimo.. y te atienden.bien.el.personal..“

“This food was fire 🔥 Sabe a la comida de la abuela. Service was great even with the language barrier everyone was super friendly, Mi español es limitado. Where I currently live the only spainish food you get is Mexican and Dominican and Puerto Rican food is way better, thank you.“

“(Translated by Google) Omg I love sandwiches the best place for a delicious sandwich and excellent jeniar service and it's right there on the corner of my house I love it my name is diana(Original)Omg me encanta los sandwich el mejor lugar para un rico sándwich y un servicio jeniar excelente y es ahí mismo en la esquina de mi casa I love it mi nombre es diana“

“Excellent the best Dominican breakfasts and food you can find from a mangu empanadas rice and meats, you can find everything you want for your breakfast lunch and dinner...don't miss the experience and the attention is the best those women have a hand and unforgettable attention...“

“Fantastic food. We had the roast chicken, which was good. If they was all we had, I would have come back.

But we also ordered the sancocho (de gallina), a house speciality. I had no idea what I was buying, and was floored. It was amazing.

We left stuffed.

Just as we were leaving, they brought out pernil, which we were too full to taste. Next time!“

“EL MEJOR CHICHARRÓN 100% comprobado“

“After having Chinese food and pizza so much, I needed a change, and nothing speaks to my soul better than Spanish food. I brought my friend along, and even though he went with a more American dish, we enjoyed an impromptu dinner. And of course, I must comment on the homey atmosphere that relaxes you the second you sit down. I'd definitely come back again!“

“Tasty food. Large portions. No air conditioning. Mostly take out.“

“Good flavor, big portions and friendly staff“

“When you enter the place it is very simple, the great thing is in the food in that place I ate white rice with eggplant 🍆 and stewed green pigeon peas what a delight, every Monday they have very good stew and the alcapuria a 10 out of 10“

“Well I love the food they prepare! But, my favorites are: the power lines (Dominican spaghettis), the bean moros and the chicken chips! Also the humane treatment of Arely's and Kennya, those two ladies are excellent human beings, I thank them for that humane treatment. God bless you greatly“

“I’ve visited numerous times and have met the owner. Such a sweet lady. I had mentioned my food came out a bit colder than I expected and she offered to make me another plate (I was eating outside & with 2 other people) they were very busy that day.
I can honestly say I will always go back & anytime I’ve shared any form of dissatisfaction it has been taken care of right away. Side note I love the outside seating in the summer time .

Parking: More than 10 parking spots here. No drive thru but you can walk right in to order .“

“Desde nuestra llegada fueron muy serviciales y atentos. Me encantó mucho su sazon y sus mofongos. Salimos muy contentos. 10/10 Espero volver antes de mi retorno a Arkanasas .“
