    Albóndigas are the classic Dominican-style meatballs made with beef and fresh made Sofritos . They are juicy, flavorful and the sauce they make is absolutely Wonderful. Not Yo Mama's Meatballs I assure you , the owners Mama's recipe she's been making for decades in Dominican Republic. This great dish is on the menu just for Sw Detroit Restaurant week 2022. The drippings are marvelous unique creative gravy produced from the fatty juice's while cooking low and slow. Think au jus n mucho better WOWED.   Also the Favorite Chicharron De Pollo a special made fried Chicken. A unique Dominican dish Los 3s Golpe OMG large wooden cup of Mofongo surrounded by poached Eggs, Fried Cheese and Fried Summer Sausage we devoured this delightful dish. Isa our waiter son of the owner on top of his game. Totally family run owner a Master Chef open now going on 6 year's with wife aunts and cousins in the kitchen. Place always packed with Happy Dominican families dining in and take out orders. This our 3rd visit you must put on your list.

    The food is amazing!! I suggest everything. I love the music especially when the owner comes out and turns it up and starts dancing. The staff always have smiles and very friendly.

    THE ABSOLUTE CLEANEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC DOMINICAN FOOD I'CE EATEN SINCE LIVING IN FLORIDA. I first came to this spot in 2020, I didn't know if i liked it, the food was good but the environment was a bit off....just went back yesterday for dinner and oh my goodness how much i loved every bit of it. The chicken was clean and fried to perfection, the sweet plantains and salted ones are to absolutely die for! The rice and beans are so delicious. You can't go wrong with this spot. The service was over the top amazing and the dinner was fairly cheap which is always a plus!

    More art and a notice saying not to be in a rush because the food comes out fresh to order

    One thing I can say about this place, HEAVEN! It's great to find a small population of Dominicans in Detroit as well as this restaurant, Asty Time, that specializes in Dominican Cuisine. I love the ffact that they have a one page menu so you don't have to spend a lot of time deciding. I ordered the fried pork belly (Chicarrones de Cerdo) with white rice and beans. Totally on point and delicious. Felt like I was home in the DR. I also ordered food to go so I can take for lunch to work. Service was great and they let you know straight out that not to be in a rush because the food is cooked fresh to order and indeed it was. The area where the restaurant is located is kind of slummy but it's worth it because of the food. Enjoy!

    Wow!! Just... WOW!! If I could give it more stars, I would! Looking from the outside of this place, I wouldn't have any idea this place was there. Talk about finding a treasure, hole in the wall... Their food is amazing!! We had a group of nine of us and I tasted a little bit of everyone's dish. Not disappointed on any of it! Their chicken was so juicy and tender. And their mofongo (if that's how you spell it) was my faaaavorite!! Their service was great! Definitely coming back!!

    Red Snapper and Mofongo
    Dan E.

    This restaurant is just ok in my opinion. For starters the chips and salsa were regular food service variety. We tried the fried chicken, fried pork belly, and the signature dish; fried whole red snapper, for sides we had plain rice, rice and beans, and Mofongo which is mashed plantains with garlic and pork. The fried foods were dry and extra crispy, the rice sides were bland and the plantains were a bit odd. 2.5 stars

    Chicharrón de pollo c/arroz con gandules
    Gabriela A.

    Keeping the tradition of Dominican cuisine alive right here in Southwest Detroit. From the tostones, to the chicharrón de pollo, to the chivo guisado falling off the bone - this little spot will delight your taste buds.

    Shrimp in Garlic Butter...a la Ajilo Rice and Guandules Mix. Plantains.
    Tina R.

    Food was amazing!!! I'll be back to try other menu items. Service was fast and friendly. Just a side note: always keep salt and pepper shakers full and clean.

    La Bodega is a small Dominican store with groceries and prepared food. There are 3 small aisles of…read moregroceries - one with mostly drinks and refrigerated proteins, one with sauces and dry goods, and the last with some cleaning supplies. Towards the rear, there are racks of spices, a very small frozen food section (one freezer) and some produce. I'm guessing they don't actually sell any of the produce - it's probably just there as storage until they cook everything? The real magic of the store is in the back, where there's a small counter serving all sorts of delicious goodies. On a Saturday for lunch, there was a steady stream of customers picking up orders and eating. Just be aware that this is a family owned establishment that takes time to prepare food - lunch was supposed to start at 11:30AM, but they didn't have most of the menu ready until around 12:30PM. For people who are less patient, there is a prepared food counter with various meats and stews and a display with some fried foods. We opted for a couple of items: Fritura Mixta ($18.50) - Wow, this is a giant plate of fried meat and tostones. Deep fried beef, pork, chicken, longanisa, each one seasoned and drained well. Not greasy or oily at all. This is seriously a meat overload, in retrospect, we should have ordered a couple of additional sides because, to be honest, we aren't huge meat eaters. Still delicious. It took about 20 minutes to come out because everything was fried fresh. Cheese Bollitos ($2.50) - Think of a fried mashed potato croquette with a slightly different yucca flavor profile. These fried pastries aren't fried to order - instead they are probably fried in the morning and stuck in a heated display cabinet until they are ordered. They don't have the best crisp exterior and aren't exactly piping hot, but they are still good. Chicken and Cheese Empanada ($3) - These were definitely differently shaped vs. other empanadas I've had. Quite a long half moon filled with well seasoned chicken and rich cheese. Similar to the bollitos, these are not fried to order. We went back a couple of weeks later for some of the items on the dinner menu (only available after 5PM) that aren't served during lunch. It took around 25 minutes this time for the food to come out. Chimi de Pierna ($13) - This sandwich consisted of pulled pork, red cabbage, onions, and tomato on a super pillowy bun. The ingredients were heavily seasoned with a sweet and somewhat vinegery sauce that was quite similar to a bbq sauce. Be careful eating this one - since the bun is so soft, the ingredients start spilling out with every bite. Mofongo ($20) - Super garlicky, pretty classic mofongo mashed with chicharrones. Our meat of choice was additional chicharrones - super well fried with a great crisp and chewy fat. It came with two small containers of sauce that was not a normal mojo de ajo. It was limey, porky, very fresh, and paired perfectly with the carbs and proteins. I would definitely get this again. As a side note - they charge a 4% credit card fee. La Bodego is a great addition to the area. Definitely stop by to get some good Dominican food!

The owner is community orientated and likes to give back to the youth that need it. I love supporting businesses that put their money towards causes and initiatives that help build people up. The feel inside the shop is welcoming and feels like home. It is clean and bright. The location is in a nice friendly neighborhood. You can tell the meals are prepared with love and aren't made with bulk ingredients instead they are all fresh and savory. I would highly recommend supporting small businesses and especially this one! Go in today to get authentic Dominican cuisine you will not be disappointed! I recommend the empanadas they are great!
