    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.

    Come here for authentic Dominican food! You can get the biggest bang for your buck by getting a half chicken with a side like plantains.If you are willing to spend more, go for the delicious mofongo.

    The rotisserie chicken is by far the best in the city. Another item not to be missed is the Tres Leches dessert. It is so good you'll flip after tasting it.

    I tried something very typical: mangu con 3 golpes. So far the most delicious around, though difference not too great. Must say the Mori Sonando was delicious! Read more
