Food was amazing. The place was very clean and tidy. The prices and portions were extremely fair, unlike other places where your food is probably sitting for hours. Everything here tasted fresh, the QUIPE WAS AMAZING!!! The beans and rice tasted so home cooked it felt like I was eating at my grandmas home. The atmosphere and staff were very warm and inviting and I cannot wait to come back. Do not hesitate to come here, in fact try and get there asap if you’re craving amazing Dominican Food.

Stopped by this amazing restaurant during my layover, and it was nothing short of incredible. The food was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and truly authentic. It’s conveniently located not far from JFK, right by the train station and close to the baseball stadium. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and friendly. The white rice alone was so delicious it didn’t even need anything added to it. I also had the oxtails, which were tender, flavorful, and reasonably priced. If you’re looking for gre
