Wow, this place is delicious! The food is fantastic, the portions are insane and the price can't be beat! If you are in the mood for home-cooked food with aromas that sweep YOU away and NOT your wallet....good luck beating this find. Try the sirloin steak, the flan, the chicken and the tostones.
Pros: Good food, good price

This place is great.
I go often and never have any complaints. Most of the time their are one or two waitresses for the entire place, so don't expect to be spoiled and accommodated for every problem like the reviewer below. Furthermore; this is a Dominican restaurant, which means they primarily speak spanish. If you do not understand them and choose to give them an attitude it'll only make matters worse. Have patience, ask questions, and be polite; you chose to enter a culturally-based establishment.
Recommended dishes:
Any dish with yellow rice and black beans..
My favorite: Shrimp in Garlic or Shrimp in Hot Sauce sauce with Yellow Rice and black beans.
Drinks: Batida de lechosa (Papaya shake) or Morir Sonando (an amazing Dominican drink with orange juice and lechera. (both are non-alcoholic)
Pros: prices, service, food
Cons: gentrification

As soon as you walk into this place, it's like total comfort. The wait staff is super-friendly and are at once catering to you. The food, I must truly say, is divine!! I had Lobster Tails ala Enchilada and the dish was absolutely amazing. My husband and stepdaughter were equally impressed w/ their dish, all of us vowing that we will definately return. Did I mention their Margaritas, which are totally sinful? My hubby and I had the Mango Margarita and were quite pleased. A definate stop for all who like authentic latin cuisine!!
Pros: Exquisite food.

Great spot. I really enjoyed my meal here, and I'm surprised it's not more packed. They have insane drink specials, like 2 for 1 beers, and free wine during dinner. It's a recession, don't people wanna save money? Try the pineapple w/ chicken. awesome
Pros: Cheap eats

My boyfriend took me to dinner here. It was pretty crowded when we got there but we managed to get a table in the back. The waitress was great and suggested a few appetizers. The croquetas filled with ham and cheese were so good! They has a sweet mapple syrup dipping sauce - sweet and salty. Yumm!!
We shared the ceviche, gilled octopus with sweet potato and sausage, and fish tacos.
I had a naked margarita and my bf had a Michelada, which is beer, hot sauce, salt and lime. I've never heard of it before but I loved it!
Pros: music and food

Ok, this place has the best southern and caribbean food EVER. Two or three weeks ago, I was written up in the NY Daily News Sunday Section of the top meals under $10. It was ranked number 10. I have to try the first 9 because the food is the excellent. The mac and cheese and yams are as good as anywhere in the south. The curried chicken and jerk chicken is so flavorful, my tongue was wagging when I left. It is a very nice well lit place with a flat screen TV. It has great colors.
A must eat place. I have seen plenty of NYs famous in there over the years. Try it!
