Dana: Food is just amazing! From the burritos and tacos to the flautas and calamari...its all a must try!
Jim Ray: Best Mexican in The Heights. Great margaritas, too.
Jim Ray: The food is top notch and the drinks, especially since they seem to have switched to fresh juic not mixes, are on point.

Gothamist: Named after the Monument in Santiago, DR, the lovely treats at this chainlet are fried Dominican-style and come in over 20 different fillings. Try the cheese filled yucca balls with a fruit smoothie. Read more.
Joel Moya: I recommend the Quipe Phills Steak, Empanada de Pizza, Lasagna, and Espinaca.
A C: The berejeña con queso (eggplant with cheese) is my favorite.
