Reviews El Conde Restaurant

Fine Dominican Steakhouse & Bar. El Conde is a neighborhood in Colonial Santo Domingo. El Conde Steak House in Washington Heights features a good amount of Dominican fare, but many offerings are familiar to the Spanish speaking Caribbean and much of Latin America as well.
I started with a Cuba Libré that was bracingly strong. My spouse went with a bottle of Presidente. My dinner choice tonight was grilled entraña, which is listed as churrasco, with tostones. I ordered it prepared medium, although I prefer it rarer still. It was served well done (typical), yet, not to my dismay. The onions were treated in an acid other than lime juice. The skirt steak also had a citric tang that I believe came from a vinegar based marinade. That appears to be the simple answer to the flavor profile puzzle that many previous El Condé reviewers posed in their writings on various sites.
My better half chose rabo with red beans and white rice as her side dish. Despite having half the meal wrapped for take away, she expressed no disappointments.
We made no after dinner dessert nor beverage selections as we were both quite full after our repast.

Steak is wonderful. I can't comment much on the other things on their menu, and I would have to agree that their service is haphazard at best, but about the norm for the neighborhood (people tend to be more chill anyways), but the steak is definitely worth going for. It's not steak like you'd see in a steak resturant, but it is delicious non the less.
