Reviews
The restaurant itself is nice, clean, and well-kept. The food was good, not bad at all, but nothing particularly memorable either.
Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The woman assisting us seemed disengaged and wasn’t very helpful while we were placing our takeout order. My sister actually had to guide her on how much rice and pernil to include. It would have been helpful if she had explained the differences between a lunch order, a small dinner, and a large dinner so we could better understand portion sizes and pricing.
For reference, our exact takeout order was:
1 lunch order of pernil with arroz de guandules
1 small order of arroz blanco with habichuelas and pollo guisado
2 chicken empanadas
The total came to $47.
I also want to note that this was a takeout order, and $7 of gratuity was automatically added without informing us. We only noticed after the card had already been charged. Transparency about automatic gratuity would have been appreciated. We felt taken advantage of. It just doesn’t make for good customer service.
Luckily, it was a one time visit. We will stick to our local Dominican Restaurant in Rahway (Spanish Restaurant 3 on St. George’s Ave).
We tried a mix of dishes — the mixed seafood mofongo, chicken parm, pork mofongo, seafood paella, beef empanadas, Yucatan fries, and a fresh salad — and every single bite was amazing. The mofongos were rich and flavorful, the seafood paella was perfectly cooked and generously portioned, and the empanadas were crisp and savory.
The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it feel like a true hidden gem. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic flavors and a great dining experience!
Definitely the type of Dominican food that only “La doña” or “el don” make.
The food was fresh, flavorful, & not greasy. Which is an issue with lots of Dominican cuisine restaurants. I got white rice, molondrones (okra), & avocado which were vegan friendly & delicious.
The location is conveniently located with a few parking spots in front / close by. You are able to dine in & they did mention that they were going to expand the location for more dine in space.
The owner Jose was very attentive & opened to food suggestions which I loved.
Thank you guys! Que ricura!
The goat was poor no flavor
Rice was salty
