She told me it wasn't ready and was wondering if she could go to the grocery store to pick up eggs, I said no and I still had to wait another 15-20 minutes for mediocre food with no salt. And I didn't get a discount for my dish not having eggs. This is the second time I've eaten there and it's been awful every time.

Support your locals baby! Downtown finallyyy has great Latin food and it's here. While they have…read morerecently gone viral on social media, I believe it's worth the hype. They bring together the best comfort food from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Staff were focused and very kind to everyone who walked in. The place is also consistently busy, one person leaves and two more walk in. You can expect to wait 10-15 minutes for your food but the upside is everything is made in the moment so it will be fresh. Pro tips: There is a small parking lot in the back of the building otherwise you'll need to find street parking. Also you want to set the moment right with Passionfruit juice or a Coco Rico!

Los Tres Golpes is the kind of spot you stumble into once and then spend the rest of your life…read morebragging about like you discovered buried treasure. We found it totally by accident, just a random stop next to a venue before a show and suddenly I was transported straight back to my NYC days when late‑night chimis were basically a lifestyle. They do have chimis here, but the real star of my personal universe is the Tripleta. Chicken, pernil, ham, lettuce, tomato, potato stix, and that glorious kreme sauce all stacked together like they're auditioning for the sandwich hall of fame. It's so good I don't even pretend to have self‑control anymore, I order one to eat and two to take home because future‑me deserves happiness too. Then come the maduros, sweet and caramelized just right, the kind that instantly hit you with Caribbean nostalgia like a warm breeze and a memory at the same time. And the empanadas? Massive, golden, and addictive. The shrimp scampi one is almost always sold out, which honestly just proves everyone else has good taste too. The vibe is pure Dominican quick‑bite energy: walk in, get hit with the smell of sizzling goodness, and catch the soundtrack of mainstream dembow or reggaeton bouncing off the walls. It's the perfect pre‑game, mid‑night, or post‑party stop, especially since they stay open until 4 AM from Thursday to Saturday. That alone makes them a community service. And because the business started in NYC, the staff will happily chat with you about the city, the food, the culture, whatever you're nostalgic for. It feels like home, but with better parking. If you want real Dominican flavor, late‑night energy, and sandwiches that will ruin you for all other sandwiches, Los Tres Golpes is the move.

I wouldn't recommend coming in early for breakfast because they never have much of a variety and considering there's not much to begin with, you would think that the food available should be at its best quality and unfortunately, it's far from supurb. I ordered the chicken and a side salad and it tasted like leftovers -- chicken tasted alive and the salad was very cold, so much so I felt my teeth tingle! I had also ordered a Morir Soñando (2) and it was distasteful. After I expressed my feelings on the drinks, they were not taken off my bill and the waiters did not try and rectify the situation. On top of all that, the food we were served was horrible to begin with and I didn't even have a drink to chug all my unhappiness down. If you decide to go to this establishment after reading this review, so be it. Just know if you don't like something you ordered you will end up paying for it regardless of what you think. Happy eating! :)

It was a DELIVERY ORDER from uber eats and the 2nd one was a pick up and my God what a disappointment. Even the place stinks like CRAP!!! Like their Septic tank blew up or something! The taste on the meat was good on mine food but my husband's not so good honestly and the rest SUCK!! I ordered 2 different orders and was just a whole bunch of rise with like a tablespoon size of meat! Delivery fee and tips for nothing!! Smh!!

The atmosphere is amazing, our culture is all over and the menu is specially designed with Dominican phrases/sayings. I came here three days consequentially and the servers I had were amazing.
