The area was on a fairly busy street so parking may be a bit tricky. Going in, it reminded me of Chipotle but with more and better options to customize what you want! I went with the Pit Bowl with rice, chorizo, mango pico de gallo, pineapple, onions, lettuce, cilantro, and guacamole. I was very impressed with how much food was packed in my bowl! It was definitely worth the price with how much they put in anything you get. It was so much food that I definitely couldn't finish it and had enough for my dinner! The next time I visit my uncle, I will definitely have him take me here again!

The burrito, bowls, and quesadillas are always great, also love their taco Tuesday night! Like a chipotle set up but 10x better. Service can be a hit or miss, seems like they employ a lot of college students and sometimes they have weird attitudes or are more interested in their coworkers than working.

I didn't go to the physical restaurant but I got to catch their delicious Dominican food @ the…read moreSalem town hall market. I tried the fried yuca croquette(mashed cassava croquette stuffed w/ pork & beef) & a trio of empanaditas(fried pastry dough):chicken,beef,& chicken. The staff was ok could have been friendlier. 1 of the employees was dressed as Jesus Christ(he got into the Halloween spirit) so I'll give him extra brownie pts. For the Halloween dedication. The yuca croquette was crispy on the outside & soft in the middle. It was very flavorful & packed w/ meat. The buffalo chicken empanadita was tasty & had a little kick w/ the hot sauce. The beef empanadita was a little weird b/c it had raisins in it but that's the authentic Dominican way of making it. The chicken empanadita had peppers & onions (too many onions for my liking). My sister enjoyed it though. Overall, good eats (even Jesus would approve)!

My sister and I tried La Frontera Sabrosa's food via their food stand at the Salem Town Hall…read moremarket. We grabbed a yuca croquette and a mix of mini empanaditas, and everything was hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The croquette had a great crunchy outside and a soft, savory inside packed with meat. The empanaditas were fun to try, the buffalo chicken had a nice little kick, the beef one had that classic Dominican touch with raisins, (not my thing) and the chicken had peppers and onions (a bit onion-heavy for my sister but perfect for me). The server wad dressed up as Jesus and boy was he our savior, because this is the first thing we ate.. a good quick bite before we later on went to a restaurant for a full meal. Overall, really tasty food and definitely something I'd grab again.

I stopped by Punta Cana Dominican Grill curious to try something new. I asked to switch out my…read morewhite rice for yellow, which they did -- and while I was disappointed they forgot my beans, I still gave it a fair try. The yellow rice was fluffy and filling, and the yuca fries were actually a standout -- golden, crispy, and really satisfying. The salad, however, came with no dressing, and the chicken definitely didn't match the saucy, glistening version I saw in their online photos. Mine was a bit drier and missing that visual punch. All in all, it wasn't bad! I wouldn't tell anyone to skip it -- it's worth a taste if you're nearby and in the mood for Dominican food. I have a feeling there are other items on the menu I might enjoy more, so I'd give it another shot with different picks next time.

I live in the area and had been meaning to try this place since I heard it was under new ownership…read more I recently ordered the Mofongo with chicharrón, and it was fantastic. You can really tell they take their time and care with the food--everything was cooked properly, and I especially appreciated that the pork belly chunks were completely cleaned and shaved. That's usually a major turnoff for me elsewhere, so it definitely earned extra points here. The only thing that could be seen as a downside is the price. The Mofongo was $30, which is on the higher side. That said, the portion size, sides, and overall quality absolutely justified the price in my opinion. I'm happy to go back and try more dishes. Best of luck to the new owners, my family and I enjoyed your food very much!

The server made her way over right away and gave us some waters and the menus. The music was playing loudly and it was a wide variety of music. She took our orders and brought out our drinks. We ended up ordering: 1 plate of garnachas, 1 bistec plate, and 1 side of platanos fritos con crema. Omg I was in heaven eating the garnachas. They were soooo good!! The meat was flavorful and the tortillas had a nice crisp to them. I definitely recommend! The bistec plate was also good but the meat had a lot of fat. The platanos were actually sweet so they tasted really good. The server was friendly and checked up on us multiple times. Definitely a good spot to get some good food in Lynn!

They are located in the Cafeteria Food Hall with several other cool places, and we always get food from at least two or the different businesses.

Nice, clean, and outdoor seating available in summer.

Rough start but good food…read more It had opened the week before, and there are kinks to work out. Workers were king of bumping into each other, running around, not one steady at register, kept changing. The ice wasn't working, the worker there was complaining about it to me. Though workers knew what to do in their roles mostly, they were not professional at all. Seemed like nice people but no smiles, didn't speak well (English was their first language), some looked sloppy in really oversized shirts, hair disheveled, etc. Greens options looked good, rice was good, braised lamb was pretty good, steak though cut into very small pieces was good. Important to say that when you order two different proteins, you are charged for the 2nd one. The seasonings on all proteins seemed moroccan, the grilled chicken was spicy, not just plain grilled chicken. Seasonings seemed repetitive to each other. Not a huge fan and I really like moroccan food. Sauces were good - tzatziki was great, good hummus, special feta was good. Prices are pretty high, like Boston prices, wish the prices were more prominent, like when buying 2 proteins, didn't know it would be doubled, thought the one serving was split into 2. Inside seating is like eating inside a pizza parlor which was fine. It seemed clean and new. Outside seating is plentiful and nice. Many were sitting outside. We would go back in another month or two. It's a good options. Wish they had the grilled vegetables for a choice on the protein. They simply didn't have some things because they are new.

My friend personally loves this place as someone who grew up in the Dominican Republic and is…read moreparticular about the quality of the food. Parking can be difficult since it is entirely metered street parking. Place only has a handful of tables so mostly intended for take out. We shared a few dishes including pastelon, maduros, Dominican spaghetti, fish, meatballs, rice and beans, fried yuka, and passion fruit juice. We agreed that the ingredients are certainly fresher here which only added to their already wonderful preparations of dishes. Already a fan of Dominican food, I do prefer this spot over the other typical local options nearby. Prices also seem to be more reasonable comparably so. Looking forward to coming again!
