From Google Maps reviews.
On a visit to one of my neighborhoods in the Bronx, I saw this "Caribbean" restaurant. When I got inside based on the menu I realized it was Dominican. I tried the yucca (cassava), sweet plantain and fried pork chunks. The food was ok. The customer service was on point for a neighborhood restaurant. I tried it because I saw people walking buy collecting food and leaving.
Completely looked over my note, let’s start with the Mangu, usually it doesn’t come with yuca unless you ask for that which I clearly didn’t. I quickly realized that when I had 3 forks full of plantins, I went through the eggs a bit & there’s a finger tip size egg shell on the side of the egg, glad I didn’t bite into it. The Yaroa was kinda burnt I asked for ground beef instead of chicken with the sauce on the side because I’m not sure how the chicken was going to be but since my notes were over
Food was mediocre and a bit expensive. The chicken I ordered was burnt, despite me asking them not to give me a burnt one. The food on the counter seems to be sitting there for a long time. There are other good Latin-American restaurants that serve the same type of food compared to this restaurant. I am all about supporting our local restaurants, but this place could improve and do better.
