The oxtail is tender, the curry chicken is flavorful, and the mac and cheese is pretty good too. There's only street parking, but I don't mind it because i'm typically in and out unless there's a line. If you're looking to get a beef patty or another specific food, I recommend to call ahead of time and check if they've run out or not. It's more of a take out place so it's small inside, but that's ok because I'd rather enjoy the food at home anyway.

They've been open roughly 6 months, so I do not feel like I've been missing out for too long. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and thankfully not a long wait. I ordered the curry chicken w/cabbage and rice & peas. The curry was flavorful and finger-licking good, falling off of the bone; although some of my peas were rock hard but other than that the rice & peas were delicious, too. The cabbage was sooo good!!! I could have used a tad more, but I chocked that up to personal preference - i LOVE cabbage! I guess I was so mesmerized by the inviting aroma that I forgot to take a picture of my food (which usually never happens), but take my word... the container was empty. The menu has plenty to offer and I am looking forward to trying the jerk chicken next time - which is made on the grill (not the oven). I also loved the decor and art on the walls. Great food and the service is what won me over completely. While waiting for my order, I met the cook and chatted with the owner, Maxine, who is extremely personable and polite. I could have talked to her about quality food and quality customer service all day. It's nice to converse with owners of establishments who just 'get it'. The professionalism here is on point. And make no mistake about it, she reads all reviews and takes all feedback into consideration. There's also a very nice outdoor space with seating and live music. I will definitely be back! 5 stars earned and well-deserved!

The menu seemed limited and they didn't have the passion fruit juice or offered any other natural juices so I opted for a water. I also ordered the Lalo which wasn't in the list of menu items I was given.

The presentation was also beauBe mindful the food does take a while to come out so don't come here in a hurry. Overall I'd be back. I'm impressed with quality and ambiance of the restaurant.

I got takeout and the ordering process was very efficient and smooth. It was a Friday night so the restaurant turned into a nice lounge scene. Though I was only in there for a few moments to pick up my order, I really wanted to stay for the vibes lol the music was good and everyone was dancing and having fun. I love that it wasn't to crowded, it was a nice low key place and they told me that it's like that every Friday night. I will be returning for the food and maybe also a nice weekend night with my friends. Thank you Tap Tap!

I stood there for 5 minutes before a lady from the back waved as if she'll be out shortly . After standing there 15 more minutes, I tapped the bell on the counter . She came out a few minutes later . I ordered my usual which is curry chicken ,rice and plantains. As I waited, waited and waited I noticed how hot is was in the restaurant. I began to perspire . Clearly there weren't any AC on. A customer arrived and based on his conversation with a gentlemen that came in later ( appear to be one of the owners) he's a regular. He asked for some cake and the employee/ owner told him they were out of cake. The customer proceeded to tell him he comes in every week and there's never any cake. The employee/owner said he'd get it next time . He seemed very nonchalant about the fact his customer is loyal and he never makes sure the cake is available. Keep in mind I'm still waiting on my food . It's been over 30 minutes waiting in this hot box. After about an hour wait the food was finally ready . No one never said how long it would be. Nor did anyone apologize for the wait or offer any drinks since it was actually hotter inside than outside. The food was packed tightly in a black tray with a clear lid. It was so packed I had to eat it over a big towel in my hotel room to prevent spillage on the bed. After the long hot wait, without any water , the food was bland. I didn't realize that salad had been squeezed inside the plate as well. I will never return . It's too hot there and the wait is too long . Especially since I was the only person in line . I gave them 2 stars because I was given a sufficient amount of food. Although I really think the plate was too small for that much food.

There was one man waiting for his order. 1st red flag. The place was dark and dingy looking, 2nd red flag. We ordered real basic 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and peas, my husband ordered 1/2 chicken with yellow rice and red beans. The chicken was so hard and dry that I almost choked swallowing it! It had no taste and neither did the beans and rice. They were dry as well, rice was overly sticky, nothing 'traditional' about the food. I may not be latino but I have eaten enough Latin dishes to know what's traditional and what's not, and this place IS NOT. Don't bother going here if you want, at the least, good tasting, authentic Dominican food that is prepared well!
