We were greeted and welcomed on by a nice woman who explained some menu items for us. This was our first time dinning at this local Dominican food establishment. They are Spanish and English-speaking here. Service was great. Our food was delicious and so was there green house sauce. I will be returning. I recommend 👌

I can’t say enough good things about this family-owned Dominican restaurant. Every time I’ve come here, the experience has been consistently excellent. The food is authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with love. I’ve enjoyed every single bite from the items I’ve tried. It’s a family friendly place, which is always a plus. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like one of their own. Service is always prompt, and the restaurant itself is clean and well kept, which shows they really care about every detail. If you’re looking for real Dominican food and a place that feels like home, this is it. Highly recommend!

Food not good. Salty, hard and too greasy. Waitress had salty attitude. Not friendly . Not worth the 100+ bill for the 3 dishes served!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Katherine Rose · Jan 2025

I'm not going to lie, the music in here was loud. But it was good! As soon as we sat down the server asked if we wanted it turned down and gave us a free sampling of their delicious salt pork. All of the food was reasonably priced and delicious. I have a ton of leftovers. We did ask them to turn the music down slightly while we were trying to talk, and they had no issue. Then they noticed I gave my friend a birthday cupcake and asked if they could give him a free shot. They turned music on and everyone clapped. It was so thoughtful and special. The service was the best part of the entire experience. I will be back!! I highly recommend the mini chicken empanadas as well as the salt pork.
