My favorite place to get food in Crown Heights. Perfect flan. I haven’t had anything off their grill because I go for the steaming buffet that’s by the window. You can see the steam rising off the meats from the sidewalk, and smell it too. Right away you know it’s gonna be good. I’ve had the ribs, roast pork, and beef stew, but my favorite is the baked chicken. Try it over the mangu. Nice staff. Good price. :)

Some of the best beefy Mac and cheese I have ever had. They used real good seasonings, penne noodles, melted cheese on top casserole style, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Will be going back for more. A large container only costed me $6 too

Quick home style food, you can taste the love in it! Was most impressed by the roasted chicken, fall off the bone with good flavor. Treated myself to the shrimp mofongo, came with good amount of shrimp and was very moist and fresh the way it's supposed to be. Definitely a neighborhood staple. Open Monday-Saturdays! Seems they accept card too. Great value, friendly service. Most of them seem to speak English, was able to make it with my Spanglish ;)

THE MOST AMAZING PORK! I cannot believe that I had not been to the gem before! The service was great, the staff is friendly and kind and they have savory spanish dishes! I highly recommend the ribs ! I will definitely be coming back!

We noticed this restaurant while coming from a doctor's appointment. It is very small with maybe 3 to 4 tables. It seems to work for the neighborhood because there were some customers in and out. The men up front were not so welcoming. The Senorita who took our order was welcoming and seem to know what she was doing. The empanadas were good. The chicken and rice w/black beans was decent. The rice needed a little moisture. All and all, not bad.

It's a small Dominican spot that serves food throughout the day. The food itself is great but I can't say the same about the service. There have been times when I've ordered food for pickup 30-45 minutes beforehand and it's still not ready when I arrive. There have been others times when I've ordered food for delivery and it took longer than it should have.

What ultimately stopped me from ordering from this place was that my mom got a stomach virus after eating food from here earlier this year. It's a shame because the food isn't bad at all.
