★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 April W. · Nov 2025

Never giving this place my money again. The first time I ordered from them, I got a fillet of fish in coconut sauce with white rice and beans. They put the food in a cheap foil tin, so by the time I got it from the Uber driver, the sauce had soaked through the bag and the food spilled all over my steps. Thankfully, I was able to get a refund through Uber because the restaurant staff told me that since it wasn’t their fault I would have to pay to replace it. The second time I ordered from them, I found a label that appeared to be from one of their vegetables in my rice. I tried to call them to explain this, but the woman on the phone was dismissive and rude. For the third and final time, I just ordered from them tonight, and the fish that I ordered taste rancid. I ordered it right before

I went here earlier in the year and my time was amazing over here. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the dining experience was so rich. I had the Mofongo Burger and Strawberry Smoothie and the meal tasted delightful. I will definitely plan to comeback here in the future.

★★★★★ 5.0 Obed Daphnis · Aug 2025

Authentic Dominican cuisine! The place was full of families enjoying the food & atmosphere

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ayisha Dominguez · Jan 2026

I usually love this place but the recipe for their famous sangria has definitely changed and not in a good way! Wish they could go back to the original wine that they always used in their recipe. My waitress was great as always!
