Literally have been going here for years. Best Dominican food in the city. Everything is good. Food is fairly priced, I can feed my whole family with under 50. They give good size portions and the ladies are really nice. Love it.

Food is always good, reasonably priced. Portion size on point and place consistently clean. Only had 1 time where I was thrown back that for salmon, it increased that platter cost to 18. Other than that, I will continue to order from this place. Street parking could be a hit or miss.
