Very nice ambient they even sang happy birthday to my husband with a super delicious 4 leches! The waitresses 2 are impressive over 22 tables and they serve them all
And treat everyone with kindness and at the same time…

The food is authentic, and the staff are very nice. We went on a Friday around 7:30p and it was pretty full which is a good sign. I would have given this place 5 stars across the board, but a few things took away from that:

1. It was my first time eating here. Came with co-workers who frequent this place. They don't have beers listed on the menus, so you just have to know about them.

2. Apparently, they usually serve bread to every table before each meal comes out, but we didn't get that. Even asked for it, but it never arrived.

3. I ordered a roasted chicken sandwich, but was informed that they were out of chicken (which is odd since at least half of their menu items are chicken).

4. After settling for the pork sandwich, but no mayo, and it was very dry (maybe that's why they included the mayo) and while the bread was thoroughly toasted, I could tell it was also a bit stale due to the way it crumbled.

5. It seemed to take a while to get out our food, which was essentially 3 sandwiches, and 2 were the same order.

Nice staff, decent prices, gif location, friendly atmosphere, and decent food. I just wouldn't go out of the way, or recommend it as a spot. There are much better places in the neighborhood.

Casual dining. Had the lunch special and Cubano. Lunch special portion is generous, juicy chicken on fluffy yellow rice with well cooked beans. Cubano pork was very tasty and the sandwich was properly pressed but was missing yellow mustard. Service was fast and friendly.

Wonderful experience here. Got the chicharrones de pollo on bone with a side of plantains and salad, and for dessert, flan. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was great. There was plenty of room inside and it was clean and cared for. Will definitely come back.

Good food for a decent price. Tradional breakfasts here. Very well prepared and the service is excellent. I don't think I ever had corn pancakes before which I find delicious. We weren't the biggest fans of the smashed plantains. Kind of grits but made with green plantains. Overall a good eating experience.

This is the perfect example of a hole in the wall Dominican Restaurant. The whole ambiance is rowdy with a sense of familiarity and good food! We got a service of free buttered bread that was a bit too toasted but good (though I'm biased to anything bread related lol), I had the pork mofongo that lacked a bit of seasoning while my fiancé had the Cuban Sandwich that was really delicious and came with a bit of fries so we also got a side of tostones that to us (me being PuertoRican) were a bit too thick and somewhat overcooked. I also got the Dominican sandwich which I will say was the best thing I had from them and will definitely get again on another time around. I might give them a second chance just to try other food from their menu in the hopes of finding some redemption. PD: It's New York so Parking SUCKS around this area but it's easily accessible by Subway!

Good food a reasonable price. My colleague ordered traditional Dominican food, which they loved, and I went for the more adventurous side and got a secret Dominican Cuban sandwich. The setup feels more for dining in than ordering out. If you are in a rush, I would recommend ordering in advance as the food takes some time to come out.
