If you are like me, and you also crave nothing but delicious, homemade chicken soup when you are sick, look no further. When my mom is too far away to bring me her soup, I get the Caldo De Gallina from here. Its delicious and warm and so nourishing. It has a rich broth, veggies, potatoes, and a chicken leg. Perfect for when all I want is broth with some bites of chicken and veggies in between. I also got an order of the steamed veggies as an add on and was really wonderfully surprised by them. They were so much more delicious than I anticipated. Perfectly steamed, heavily seasoned and a good dose of veggies. Thanks for keeping me sane and fed during a nasty cold, El Gordo!

The potatoes were soft and warm the sauce creamy and rich not watery like some places. This place is a lunch go to spot. Place looks clean and well kept. The staff was friendly and the service was great (but I went at 2:30 when not many people were there are all). Lomo saltado was a 3 star in comparison to the high end Peruvian spots. White onions instead of the original red ones disappointed a bit. Huge plus for me- they give you the bottles of hot sauce which is EVERYTHING for me. The sauces were also pretty good. Absolutely recommend as a lunch spot.

The ceviche was incredibly fresh and easily my favorite dish of the meal. I also ordered the half chicken with fried rice and tostones, which was satisfying and generously portioned. This was my first time trying an alfajor, and now I understand why people love them. Soft, rich, and the perfect dessert after a flavorful meal. Friendly service, fair prices, and food that speaks for itself. I'll definitely be back for the lomo saltado.

But they have a special with chicken and beans n rice soup or salad for $13. When I finally got the food it was one chicken leg a spoon full of stale white rice... so I asked if the salad or soup was included... he said no because I got a soda... which I did not request. I asked him why one piece of chicken leg... he said because it's a special. Then told me $4 for an extra leg... I will not be back. I've lived in the neighborhood for years. It always seemed sketchy from the outside and I'm glad I finally decided to try it and do not recommend. This is farrrr from Peruvian food.

Best Dominican food in the area AND it's inexpensive! The flavors keep people coming back for years. I used to come here when I was in high school and when I worked in the JSQ area. I was addicted and technically still am. This was the first place I went to as soon as I got back from EWR. Their hours have changed as they are now closed on Sundays. They are open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm last I was there. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. I posted a photo of the plate prices to go. This is definitely more of a takeout spot than a dine in restaurant. Parking can be tricky in the area but I usually go down Newkirk and park in the 2nd parking lot on the left (it's gated). As long as you're quick for take out your car is good! Enjoy!

The rice was also very delicious. Beans were very good and perfect consistency! The fruit juices were very good. My whole party each got a different flavor and we all very much liked them. Staff were friendly and quick to seat us. We unfortunately did have an issue with one of the original meals (the ropa vieja), and the server was quick to switch the meal for another and help us with this. Place is cute but crowded inside, so we opted to sit outside. Very cute seating with shade on the side tables. Prices were moderate for the food, nothing to complain about. Parking in the area is hard. It's an overpopulated town with street parking that is always full. If you do find street parking, walk down the whole block and read signs, they have odd street cleaning hours and signs are typically posted at the beginning of the street so you could miss it. I'd highly recommend this place!
