Dominican Restaurants in Richmond, VA

“I've never had mofongo before but wow! I had it with grilled chicken, which was incredibly tender and full of flavor. Very filling and delicious. We'll be back for sure!“

“As many times as I have been to NY, this place soothes my taste for bodega food! Healthy portions, great cocktails and the service is awesome. (She knew I couldn’t finish that chopped cheese and brought me a togo box straight up!) To the family that sat down after us, I was dead serious about the chopped cheese and Cuban sandwiches!“

“Delicious mofongo and carne frita ($14). They also serve it with chicken, and they have tostones, rice and beans and other food/dishes are available on certain dates. Excellent cheese empanadillas or pastelillos, as many of us know them in Puerto Rico ($3 each). It is a food truck but they know how to cook. The mother cooks, and her children help her. If ordering mofongo you may want to call ahead and put your order in because it can take a bit to prepare.“

“Cómo el único restaurante Boricual, La Palmera, cerró hace años, yo he comido y sigo comiendo en El Caribe (comida Dominicana) en la Hull St. Voy los Miércoles cuando hacen patitas de cerdo sancochas! Tienen un menú extenso con especialidades cada día de la semana. Las muchachas del Caribe son fantásticas y muy atentas! Es como estar en familia. Los veo allí!“

“Excellent service - waiter was friendly & cheerful with us and everyone else in the restaurant. He was working by himself and he was super efficient. We both had Chile Rellano’s and they were excellent. A Chili Rellano is supposed to be covered in egg. My husband’s taco was also great. The restaurant was super clean, nice atmosphere, large menu and small portion options. We are from Central Oregon and compared to our prices, the meals were unbelievably reasonably priced. Absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area. Many locals stopping by to pick up their phone order. Always a good sign. It always feels good to support a local business.“
