— Kenia Rodriguez“The Dominican food was exceptional paired with Traditional Dominican music hits at an enjoyable volume during lunch time was definitely quite the experience, wether its to go or to dine in i would recommend you to come here.”
— Joshua Rivera (Josh)“The food is pretty good. I ordered the tres golpes. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled and they charged me extra-seriously? I have a raw egg allergy, so I can’t eat eggs unless they are fully cooked. The mangu didn’t taste that fresh. Overall it wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.”
— Nzhingha Nkhrumah“The food was sitting there for a while rice was dry but the meat was delicious. But for the prices they need to do better I paid 47$ and it wasn't worth the time . They can do better”
