    The hidden gem of Providence! This place opened up a couple of years ago and we always drove by it until one day we decided to stop in when we saw there was outside seating. That was the best decision we made! The Latin food here is mouth watering and the pictures seriously don't do it justice. Our waitress was so patient as we took forever to decide what we wanted to eat (tbh we wanted all of it). The food was delicious and the drinks we were recommended were just- wow! Can't wait to come back again.

    Great service and food! Not to mention the pink lady beverage! Definitely would go again. One thing i didn't like was the music selection outside appeared to be from a fellow customer and it was to loud and not so much my taste. That music just messed up the outside vibe for me which is why I asked to be moved inside.

    Nice place for food and drinks. TVs playing reggaeton music. Good cultural food but a bit pricey (even charged for water).

    Security was not pleasant and they're unnecessarily overpriced. But waitresses were really nice

    I had the Cubano which is great but her Pechuga Rellena was absolutely out of this world, the garlic sauce is flavorful and doesn't feel heavy, the rice and beans are great!

    $25 Pechuga Rellena

They have their own parking lot in the back. It's a hot bar but also a whole restaurant lol the interior is so nice that take out is a very hard option to do because you want to dine in lol For two large entrees and a large spaghetti, it came out to be $42. This also includes a drink! I got the stewed chicken, stewed goat, and spaghetti. If you never had Dominican spaghetti before, please do try! It's super flavorful, a little sweet, and a little salty. It's so good. Stewed chicken was good but not the best. What one lacks, the other compliments. The rice here is so moist and fluffy. Along with the sides they offer. I opted for macaroni salad. Highly recommended. The stewed goat was a little salty but that's up my alley lol I can see it being a little issue for some but I love salty food lol Very disappointed they didn't have oxtails though. It was only 2pm and they were out already. Overall, let's just say, I wish this place was closer to home!!

As I was waiting for my food to be packaged the kitchen staff was still filling the hot trays out front with more hot fresh food and it was already like 6pm. Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy but I just pick up quick which is easy in and out. Can be a bit pricey but you get a good amount.

    Take me back to Providence, Rhode Island. This restaurant just made its way to my Top 10 favorite…read morerestaurants and yes, I will travel 3000 miles for their food! We were hungry then found this place while we were looking for a place to eat. Totally unplanned, just wanted to get a bite to eat. This restaurant is located on Broad St (busy street) next to McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, and other places to eat. I'm so glad we walked into this establishment. My boyfriend and his younger brothers are Puerto Rican. They asked me if I've ever tried Mofongo. I've always wanted to try it, so I ordered the Mofongo with chicharron. Best decision ever. What it is, is mushed up plaintains mixed with Pernil (Puerto Rican slow roasted pork). Then topped off with chicharrones. It also came with a red sauce (not spicy) and a white sauce. It was so good: The ladies working there at the time were very friendly too. There is a bathroom inside for customers only and a lot of tables to sit. You just sit yourself. Can't wait to come back to Providence just for this restaurant. I'm hooked!

    Yummy... I do not find myself in the city often but when I do, I am always on the prowl for amazing…read morefood. This place certainly delivered! When I first drove by it I was like, wow, that place looks like it would have good food but it looked a bit sketchy. I can't imagine that many of my suburban neighbors/friends would even imagine eating here. I quickly pulled over and searched Yelp and read the 3 reviews and jumped out of my car. I can hardly speak Spanish but a young very nice boy translated to possibly his mom for me. Also, a man came in to get some food, possibly the dad and he was so patient and helpful explaining every dish. Before long I was headed out the door with a large amount of food and a bottle of water for 9 bucks! I tipped her $4 because I just knew the food would be kill and the customer service was outstanding. Try finding all of the above in an American run restaurant... not happening. They were closing in 15 minutes so there wasn't a huge assortment of items (which is why I am going back today, and with no other reason) but I was given 4 different chicken and pork items as well as rice and great beans. I just finished the rest for lunch and it was so good. I would go there for sure at least once a week if I lived closeby. If you want to impress someone who would never even consider getting out of the car on a street like this, grab some take out and bring it home to them. Trust me, they will be thanking you ten fold. Thank you, thank you, thank you to this hard working kind family for sharing your gift of amazing food preparation with all... Peace.

    The restaurant itself was in a very busy and rough park of Cranston Street…read more Hard to get parking in front of restaurant, may have to park on a side street or away a few blocks a walk up. Food selections had a nice variety. I ordered a plate with rice and pigeon peas and stewed pork ribs which is accompanied with a small salad The rice was flavorful and nice and fluffy and the stewed ribs a was 1 of the better versions I've had. I also order a large mundongo (tripe soup) A side of white rice. So I gave 3 stars that's a because it was not the easiest place to place an order with some challenges with the language barriers. And the whole process seems a slow since all the food is already prepared. It would seem pretty simple to point scour into the containers and bag it up and out the door. But was a slow process. The food would get a 4 stars for that nice flavors and freshness. But the mundongo I pointed and ordered never made it to my bag. When I got it home, it was a large container of the stewed beans that is usually used to top the white rice. So I couldn't add my review on what I did not get.
