Food and service was very good also everything was clean
I was on the hunt for new food spots and stumbled across this gem. I went with my family, and let me just say—the food was incredible! I had the moro de gandules with beans and pernil, and the portion was so generous that one plate could easily feed two. My kids shared white rice and beans with beef stew (bistec), and they absolutely loved it. Both women working there were super kind and welcoming—true hospitality vibes all around. 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back . The prices are more than fair, especially considering how much food you get.
IT was nice and cozy on this cold day and the people were very friendly
Been here about 4 times with different foods every time. My girlfriend is Dominican and tells me that this is authentic Dominican food. Everything is delicious, I do plan to continue to come! Reasonable prices, quick service! Definitely a must try around the Newark Area!
Talking a local Dominican experience in the heart of Newark..New Jersey! Simply needs to come and experience for yourself...delicious food and awesome service in spite of the place location which can be doubting.
First time there yesterday , Rice was fresh , Chicken was really good , flavor wise and it was a good size aesthetically, not these huge chicken legs that other places have . Im a very picky eater and the reviews dont lie they got good food
The pollo guisado (stewed chicken) and yucca were wonderful - very well seasoned! And the prices are very fair.
Love the food. Excuse the picture looked to good and smelt delicious. First time customer.
