    The atmosphere was definitely a highlight, earning a 4-star rating for its pleasant vibe. Both the food and the service were consistent and decent, sitting at 3 stars each. It’s a nice local spot with a great environment for a meal.

    Good lunch options if you are working construction in the area. Good typical dominican food and beautiful staff.

    Delicious food! Food was fantastic and the ladies there are so friendly and make you feel special. They get very busy so be patient but definitely will revisit :)

    This place has the best mofongo, hands down. It's soo well done that you don't even need the gravy. The waitstaff is also very kind and attentive.

    I’m always ordering from here for 5 years now. NEVER an issue, always fresh and delicious. I wish their Yuca was a little more on the al dente side, it’s pretty soft, but that’s just a preference. They have a customer for life here!
