Ellie Manduriao: Gotta get the chicken! Calamari frito is so good, and the arroz con mariscos is superb! Love their sweet plantain as well...

Rose Hernandez: The rotisserie chicken goes fast. I had the goat, avocado salad with rice and peas and of course, sweet plantains. Very authentic Dominican food! Yummy!
Karen Johnson: Great authentic and traditional cuisine at this Dominican Republic restaurant. Try the half roasted chicken and white rice and beans with a side of sweet plantains. Wash it down with sangria.
Tracy Roberts: The roast whole chicken with yellow rice and black beans is delicious and more than enough for two people!

Katie Rees: Hidden gem in the UWS - always busy. Amazing food. Cash only. They don't take reservations.

Serious Eats: The neighborhood Italian restaurant you wish your neighborhood had. Ricotta ravioli is one of the city's top plates of pasta.
