After drooling over the plates that went by, we asked the owner to help us narrow down our options. We landed on the Chicharron Sampler for an appetizer. For our main courses, we had the Bandeja Paisa and the Paella Caribena. We were also eyeing the Dominican-style beef stew and the Sancocho Soup. We asked for a sample of the Sancocho soup and that's when we found out they make everything to order - including the soup! His wife went into the kitchen and whipped up a sample of the soup ... we didn't mind the wait for the sample as we knew she was working her magic! It did not disappoint. We ordered a large soup to go! It'll be cold later this week and this will be perfect in the rainy weather. This place reminds me of home - the way my mother cooks ... the flavors are developed and everything was cooked to perfection. I did a little dance in my chair with each bite! The portions were large - we'll have left overs for the next several days! And I CANNOT wait! We're looking forward to coming back and trying something new! PHOTO DISCLOSURE: We dove into the Chicharron Sampler before we took the photo. What you see is just a small portion of the actual serving size. Also, the photo of the soup was the made from scratch made to order sample of the Sancocho soup.

We are always looking for Dominican food or Puerto Rican food in our area. We stumbled on this…read morerestaurant one day while driving. We stopped in today. Its a DR and PR restaurant specializing in that cuisine. Menu was limited not alot of either cuisine. The server was very nice and made sure we were sat right away. We ordered and the food was good.

When his highness finally decided to come over, he immediately rushed into what would you like to drink, as oppose to going over the restaurant aspect, their specialty cocktails, etc, and when I dared ask a question about what a drink is made out of and how it compares to something else, he smirked and answered with "clearly, they're very different from one another", like I'm supposed to know what this place ALL knowing this is it first time here. Complete buffoon, get rid of Vladimir at the bar or whatever his name is, as he does not belong in hospitality, let alone around people that he serves. He should've stayed at home if he doesn't want to work or find a different industry!!

Husband had rice and beans - very good we had to ask for them to cut the serving and half they serve so much, and I had the spinach and potatoes- really delicious. So much so, I need to find a recipe! Bonus, they were serving a sample of their dessert empanadas with guava and cream cheese- fabulous!!! Service is fast as it's like Chipotle.... For us was a plus because it hit all three requirements: fast, cheap and delicious!!!! I'm sorry I don't have any photos. I'm always so hungry when I go to a restaurant that I don't stop to take pictures.!!!

By 8:00 p.m., only 2 of us had drinks. My drink didn't come until a full hour and 15 minutes after we sat down and 45 mins after I put in the order. By this point, we gave up. They did bring us our ceviche order, which tasted great. But it felt pointless. I was over it and ready to go have dinner somewhere else. All said - after an hour and a half, we got 1 ceviche, 4 drinks and 2 cokes for $95 and a new reservation at a different restaurant. Not sure I'll go back. There are just too many other good options in the DC area to accept something like that.
