After a long afternoon of shopping, my friends and I built up and appetite. We wanted something…read morequick that would calm our hunger for the drive home to RI. One of my friends was more familiar with the area and recommended we come here. She ordered a plate of fried pork with tostones, some guisado de res, and white rice. The total was around $20 which was fair for the portion sizes. The guisado was a bit oily but the flavor was really good and the meat was very tender. Since the tostones did not come with a sauce, we ended up dunking them in the guisado. The tostones were on the thicker side but crispy and tasty. The fried pork was good, although maybe a little bland. The lime helped a little bit with bringing out the flavor. The white rice was good. They offer a small, medium, and large portion - small was good as a snack for 3 people. I would come back and try more of their menu items. They have a parking lot, but it was packed and the snow didn't help. There is also street parking. It is in a lively part of town, so I enjoyed people watching while eating in the car.

This is a family owned Dominican restaurant that serves a variety of typical homestyle dishes. The…read morespace is pretty big. There's a large dining/ bar area and a takeout side with a few tables. We ordered the sancocho and rabo guisado (Oxtails), with white rice and plantains. The sancocho was pretty good. It had a lot of meat and vegetables, the white rice was perfectly cooked. I thought the sancocho had a bit too much garlic in the seasoning, but it was still great, especially since it was rainy and a bit chilly. The Oxtails were simply amazing! They were extremely tender and practically falling off the bone. The sauce was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the white rice. I've never had Oxtails this good at a restaurant. They tasted just like when mom recipe takes hours and hours to make since you want to cook it long enough for the meat to become tender. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food came pretty quickly. Prices were very reasonable. If I'm back in the area, I will definitely return and order the Oxtails.

If you know people you get in before others that are waiting it seems. Don't put a time limit on how long you can sit at a table so the wait can get extremely long.

The food was lackluster (flavorless) as was the attitude of the waitress. Not friendly at all…read more The only thing going for this place is the outdoor seating and the decor. The tables were tiny - barely had room for two and we were a party of 3. Parking was a pain as the streets were closed for some festival. Found metered street parking about a third of a mile away after about 15 minutes of looking. Wouldn't return.

I have no problem with the fact that the floors were filthy, the TV was blasting, the tables were dirty, the garbage was overflowing, and the service was cold. It was the fact that the food was terrible. The keyword is "dry". So much so that it was all really inedible. Yes, the food was dirt cheap. But you get what you pay for. I'm sorry Dominicanas, if this is typical then I feel bad for you. Maybe I was supposed to go to Pollo Tipico? I'll have to ask my friends.

Beware of the older lady who usually wears a baseball cap!! She will try to rush your order unless…read moreyou know what you want and tell her everything, otherwise she'll wait about a second or two for you to tell her what you want, and then walk away. Fear not new spanish food lovers, hold your ground and appetitie, and you make her put food in that styrofoam box for you to eat. It's not that expensive (best time is lunch for price) or greasy compared to other places, but I prefer "Pollo Tipico" (190 Lawrence St) because it's better food and cheaper, even though it's a smaller restaurant, but has NICER people.

I honestly do not know if it is the cost of the pre-cooked food or the cost of the delivery of their food but they are emphasized in fried chicken and to my knowledge the chicken is cheaper than any other meat so the rise that they thought was OK is not equivalent for the food that they pack. The young ladies in the cooked food department looked overworked underpaid, and with a little bit of attitude, so I have personally not gone there as much as I used to go, because not only of the cost but because of the unfriendliness place.
