They have a hot food section plus a small market with a nice mix of Latin and Asian products, which I loved. It feels like you can grab a full meal and pick up a few pantry staples in one stop. I ordered mangú with fried cheese and onions and it was so good fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I needed. My mom got white rice, pernil, beans, and sweet plantains. She kept saying how well seasoned the meat was and was genuinely happy with both the portion size and the price (which says a lot because she's picky in the best way). Good food, solid portions, fair prices, and that comforting Dominican flavor that just hits. I'll definitely be coming back.

Sadly we were turned away from Olives and Oil, we had a reservation, because they couldn't sit us at a low table or booth. My husband is disabled and high tables are out. We walked across the street and treated like royalty. This amazing staff showed up and showed out. They were friendly and made great suggestions. Their energy was contagious.
