This was my first time eating mofongo (had it with pork) and sancocho (stew). The mofongo came with…read moresauce on the side, to pour over the mofongo (green smashed plantains) and the whole dish was good. The sancocho was tasty but I am not a fan of fat or bones on my meat, which I need to search for and cut off before eating. The mofongo was pricey at $20 for lunch, but my husband and I shared these two dishes and since I'm not going to make it at home, I felt it was worth the experience and I'd order it again. The service felt a little slow but I was happy to hear that they make the dishes fresh as they have a take-out section where food is kept warm. We went on a Saturday, between meals, so there were only two other tables being served and the restaurant is a good size. It was clean and decorated. I chose seating around the edge that had a booth and chairs opposite. Most seating is tables with chairs, so it feels kind of like a nice cafeteria.

It is located in a small plaza; I got confused coming in because the plaza next door is not connected. There is limited parking when it is busy, but I got lucky that someone was leaving when I was pulling in. I walked in and ordered the Mangu 2 golpes. It came with salami and cheese. This is the kind of place where you can either order at the counter or sit down and order. I ordered at the counter and then chose a table and sat down. One of the waitresses came and took my drink order which was a ginger ale and quickly came back with it. The mangu was soft, fresh, and delicious. The cheese was fried perfectly and so was the salami. I especially love the pickled onions on top. I devoured the whole plate and contemplated ordering a second one but talked myself out of it. Once I finished my meal I got up and paid by the counter. This is a perfect place to come for a quick lunch, I was in and out in 30 mins and the food was delicious and fairly priced. I will be back here, would love to come here for breakfast next time!

From the start, the welcome was warm and genuine, with prompt, attentive service. The space itself is simple and cozy--no unnecessary frills, just what you need, which fits the experience perfectly. We ordered the cuatro golpes, and it delivered. As a Boricua who's spent plenty of time around Dominican food, I can say this felt authentic--like sitting in a friend's kitchen rather than a restaurant. That's not something you come across often. Before leaving, I took a look at the board with their lunch and dinner offerings--chivo, oxtail, red snapper, sancocho. That alone was enough to guarantee I'll be back next time I'm in Miami.

I started off with a cucumber spice, which was refreshing with a tajin rim. Other cocktails looked amazing so I will have to go back to try more especially for happy hour.

And for a main dish, I had the grilled chicken Mofongo, which had an incredible garlic and onion flavor. I love that the plate had sauce because Mofongo can sometimes be a little dry, but this was not dry at all. I will 100% be going back because everything I had was excellent.

The tables are outside but covered. As should be expected Latin music is playing all through out the place and at just that right volume level where you have to talk just a little bit louder and using your hands. The restaurant was lively and had a good amount of people. We ordered the Mangu and the Locrio de Cerdo amongst other things. Everything was really good. Food took awhile to come out but heard they had one person in the kitchen. But good company and good music makes the wait better. Overall it was a good place and it definitely gives off local spot vibes. Recommend if you are looking for some good Dominican food and vibes.

The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The Mofongo was absolutely amazing--I had never tried anything quite like it before. My wife ordered the Pork Belly Mofongo, while I went with the Crispy Roasted Pork. Both were incredibly flavorful, and the combination of the crispy pork with the mofongo was fantastic. We also ordered fried Dominican sausage, which was delicious. My wife's friends had the salmon with rice and oxtail with mofongo, and everything looked and smelled amazing. One of my favorite surprises was the little pieces of crispy pork inside the mofongo. They added such a nice texture and extra flavor. The mofongo itself was hearty, savory, and very satisfying. For dessert, we ordered the Baked Sweet Coconut. I was already completely full, so I skipped it, but my wife tried it and said it was a little too sweet for her taste. One thing to keep in mind if you're dining with a group: since we were a party of five, an 18% gratuity was already included on the bill. We also noticed a 3% credit-card processing fee, so if you want to avoid that extra charge, you may want to consider paying with cash
