El Manjar Dominicano

I live in the neighborhood and this is one of my favorite lunch spots. Everything I’ve tried has been so delicious and nourishing. The folks are friendly and patient with me, which is appreciated since I don’t speak Spanish. I love the majarete (corn pudding), luscious and not too sweet!

Amazing cambios in the neighborhood. I lived here in the 80's and now the culture is more diversified and the food has taken a big step forward. This little place has excellent latin food.

Terrible service, the guy working at the register was not friendly. Rolling his eyes as I approached, I ordered pickup and he completely forgot I was waiting right across from him. He told me to wait 3 minutes, I ended up waiting 20 minutes and got fed up. When I looked behind me my food was just sitting there and he was on his phone. He acknowledged his mistake and said ‘I knew someone asked me for something’. I was initially excited to come here because I’ve ordered this dish for takeout and it was exceptional. Even though the service was bad, I wouldn’t rate the food poorly unless it actually was. To my surprise the food was not tasty this time. The shrimp were hardly cooked. The mofongo didn’t taste fresh, the pork pieces were not tasty not fresh, they were more like scraps. I think i

Ordered via Uber Eats and the mangu con los 3 golpes was old! As a Dominican, you can tell when the mangu have been reheated and resalted. The cheese was also reheated and had a rubbery texture. Terrible and took a very long time will not be reordering from here. Sad to not be supporting a Dominican restaurant.

i walked in here yesterday thinking this food was going to be really good but it turned out to be just a terrible experience. I was with my wife we ordered two plates of food and the woman working behind the counter didn’t even say Hi or even acknowledge our presence, she didn’t even ask what we would like to order. Besides the terrible customer service i ordered the food thinking it was going to be good to be exact the pepper steak, and the rice and beans. and usually i love to give good reviews but i can’t even describe how bad the food tasted. It tasted like it was left out and cold and the gentleman behind the register almost charged me 38 dollars !! for one small plate and a regular plate. IF YOURE THINKING ABOUT GOOD DOMINICAN FOOD DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.
