Been there twice. Can't speak to authenticity as a person w no Dominican experience, but I can…read morespeak to yumminess & value. Went Once for lunch, once for breakfast. Everything I ate & drank was delicious. Breakfast was Tres Golpes - perfectly cooked egg over easy, over mashed plantains with fried salami and cheese. SO good - the egg over the plantains was an awesome new flavor combo for me. I had a tamarind juice, my wife had the passionfruit - both fresh & tasty. Service was also excellent. Lunch - I literally just pointed to what looked tasty, got it on my plate, and ate - everything was full of flavor. Prices are reasonable for the neighborhood.

I was in the area and had marked this spot down to try, so I ordered a pork mofongo to go, went in…read moreto pick it up, and as I was waiting, I saw the maduros and they were calling my name, so I got an order of those too. Prices are very reasonable for restaurant food, I think, and the quality is absolutely there. They have all the food in heated pans at the front, though the mofongo had to be prepared separately. When I ate the food later on, everything was absolutely delicious. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely order again! Inside, there are a few TVs, and you order at the counter even if sitting in for a meal. Looks clean and cozy enough, and I would imagine fairly crowded at the right times, but I was there mid/late afternoon, so I only saw one table w/ a customer eating. I wouldn't be opposed to it sometime other than having to pay for parking!

If you are looking for authentic Dominican food, this is the place to come. This is a mom and pop…read moreestablishment with the mom doing the cooking. They are open until midnight and have a variety of foods that are already in a steam table prepared so you can eat quickly or you can order off the menu. The daughter is Naomi and she was our server and speaks English. I know a few words in Spanish, enough to order my food, but thankfully, Naomi spoke perfect English. It is a small place with a small parking lot. If you are looking for ambience, this is not an elegant restaurant, but more of an authentic feel. While we like elegance, we much prefer this home style experience. The service was quick, it was wonderful, and very helpful. They have juices made on premise. I had guava, and my husband had soursop. That cow foot stew was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. This is a little gem in Reading and in walking distance of the Santander arena and the Doubletree Hotel. This is a perfect spot if you happen to get into town late because most of the restaurants close very early. We arrived a little after 8 PM, and many things were already shut down and shuttered. El Tronco de Lily's to the rescue.

The ambiance is perfect for a ladies' night, date night, or even a reservation for a larger group. The entrées were delicious, authentic, fresh, and beautifully presented. We had the lamb chops and the cod, and both were excellent. The fresh natural limeade was also very refreshing. The owners, chef, and staff were polite, friendly, and professional. This was my second time dining here, and I'll definitely be back to try brunch and enjoy dinner again.

Ordered take out from here recently, and over all I'd say the food gets an okay…read more Empanadas and chicken tacos were pretty good and the price was right on those. However, we also ordered their highly recomended chicken mofongo and.. it was not good at all. For one, for the amount of actual food you get it is NOT worth $27. Lets get that out of the way right off the bat. Dish is highly overpriced. The chicken was VERY dry. Like, need to take a sip of a drink every single bite dry. That alone made the dish bad, but then we tried the rest and it was bland and also.. dry? idk, dish wasn't good at all . Very overpriced, and I would never get or recommend someone order that ever again. Another minor issue, on their take out menue they have a bunch of coupons. One was for $5 off orders over $30 or something like that. i asked to use it, despite there being an expiration date of 12/31/25 on it. I figure, 'you're putting these out still, so you must still be honoring this coupon, right?" NO. The host asked a manager and they said they "shouldn't have put those menus out.' But you did.. so you honor the coupon. That's business 101. Fair, I guess? But just for some business advise.. it's $5 off for a first time customer that would have potentially come back and even told others to do so. Not now though. This was a take out experience, so I cannot comment on how it is if you order in the restaurant. i will say that the hostess/ girl at the counter was very nice, and accommodating though.
