The chicharones at this location is absolutely the best around the area. My first time there they made sure I was well taken care of. They even went above and beyond by cooking new pieces of pork for me so that they can be fresh. The pieces of pork was just right with the right amount of meat and fat. Usually places I’ve tried had so much fat that I don’t get to enjoy the chicharones but not this location.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Nastiest food in my life. Everything was burnt. Nothing had any taste absolutely no flavor at all. The people inside the restaurant were too busy talking to each other instead of tending to the line of customers standing there server looked me straight in my eye shrugged her shoulders and kept talking. I ordered over the phone they said 25 min for pickup I got there in 45 min and my food still wasn’t ready waited another 20 min for the employees to stop chatting and finish my food. Complete waste of time and money

I waited over 30 minutes for a chicharron food order…I watched two slow women working like they had all day for food that should have been prepared THIS MORNING!!! Teaneck restaurant would NEVER drag there feet like this! Unprofessional and not like my Latina Establishment that I grew up around. I’m a Door Dasher, that made less than $8 waiting for a meal that should have been prepared. Empty spot…definitely not like any Spanish restaurant!!! And I grew up in the BRONX!!! My family is Latin so miss me with I’m racist. People that play with people time that’s working for pennies should just SHUT THE DOORS!!!! I’m embarrassed to deliver something so late because it’s always the black person fault when we are late but I promise you THIS WAS OUT OF MY HANDS !!! Broke my heart 😞

Amazing authentic Dominican food with 5 star service. Was working all day and stopped here and the service and the ambiance was amazing! Definitely will be coming back! New management is definitely doing a great job!

This has got to be the best Mofongo I have ever tasted. Mind you I am in no way shape or form a fan of Mofongo. I actually never eat it and have always found it to be dry and flavorless. But we ordered the Mofongo with Longaniza and Chicharron and OMG it was insanely amazing. The flavor was so full and good. We also has a great macaroni and tuna salad and the best Maduro I've had in a while. The service was just as good as the young woman behind the counter was very nice.
