This Dominican cafeteria style restaurant is a extension of the meat market next door…read more Pretty convenient to have all you need for a restaurant to operate right in the same building. Pretty smart for the owners. So I'll eaten here quite a few times and their selections have the basics and a few different specials that usually is offered on a rotation of availability. Small dining area with a couple of tables. Primarily a take out establishment. The kitchen area is actually a larger floor space than the dining area so that means they prep and cook all day. Pretty busy the last few times I've stop by to pick up lunch on the road. That is a very good spot for a quick lunch and the selections are generally very satisfying. Definitely 1 of the better Dominican cafeterias around the neighborhood with a really good butcher shop next door and very convenient parking makes this an easy choice to make a break to Elwood Avenue so close to the the 95 exit. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're into the Dominican style food.

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.

It was a slow time of day in the late afternoon close to evening on a Sunday. It was not packed at all. The menu's are hard to read printed on black background and dim lighting. The food was good I give it down but. Knocked stars off for the drinks. Out of 4 different cocktails we tried some tasted watered down or had a bad after taste and one like red koolaid and two were good. It depends what you get. Service was ok staff were friendly.
