“The service was top notch and so was the food! I love how this is a family owned business. The owner and her sister take so much pride in what they do and it shows. I felt so welcome there. They even played happy birthday and brought out a treat for my friend’s birthday. And every. thing. was. delicious. From the Dominican Flag and Loaded Yuca Ball appetizers to the beef empanada, the guava egg rolls to the mofongo with shrimp and garlic sauce, everything was amazing. That’s rare these days. Just proves this place is a true gem!💎”
“It was a fun "island" experience. Lots of different flavors. They ran out of the pineapple vinegrette salad dressing, and there was no dressing on the salad. The Mofongu was interesting, but we would try something else next time. The Pina colodas were yummy. The guava egg rolls were delicious, too.”
“This place is a diamond in the rough with character and humanity. Let me explain: The first time we visited (3 people) we were all so pleased with the food. We loved the atmosphere and the great feeling we felt when we visited. Second time we visited: Everyone eats things differently. I ordered fried pork with tostones (fried green plantain). They serve it with mayo-ketchup which is great, but not for me (allergies). So I asked the server can you get me a mix of olive oil with garlic. She came back with some other mixture. Anyway I spoke to the owner and explained why I ordered what I ordered. I'll leave it at that. Third time I asked the owner to come and talk to me. I told her that we LOVE the food and this place and want to make it our favorite, and I made sure she was again aware of my allergies, not that I was being difficult. Let's say that Diane/Diana is such a wonderful caring person and has a passion for her business and customers. That is why we gave them another opportunity. She is human, they're a small business trying to balance the world. Definitely a place to visit for AMAZING FOOD! Great prices too! She is always looking for good people to hire!!”
