We were in Philly for a convention and ate here before heading back home. It was great!! The service was excellent. Very friendly. We ate pollo guisado Carne de res pernil and a mofongo de queso. We also got white rice with beans and tostones. Everything was delicious and they give u a good amount of food. We all got a limonada and it was so good. Would definitely come back here when back in Philadelphia.
If you can forget the drab appearance, the food is really good and authentic!
I had ropa vieja with yellow rice, black beans and plantain. Excellent.
My friend enjoyed the pulled pork as well.
And guess what, the police eat there and like anywhere in the world, it is a great sign for good food. They know their city and they have the choice!
If you like creole food, go there.
Thursday lunch special was baked chicken - juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender. Highly recommend the fresh-squeezed juice.
My Dominican friend Manny took me here to experience Dominican cuisine. Service was phenomenal. Everyone was pleasant and warm and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing. We got two whole fish each. They were battered and fried to perfection. The natural juice and lemonade were both delicious. I had some yellow rice and poured some beans over top. I will definitely be back. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place!!!!
One of my favorite spots in Philly, $10 for a huge portion of rice, beans, plantains, meat and small side salad. Big enough for 2 full portions and all the protein options are amazing. Cannot recommend enough for a weekday lunch or dinner.
Great Dominican spot 2 blocks off vine st. Went in here close to close and the man at the counter was very friendly and walked me through their menu. I went with the chicken daily special and it was delicious and a great price. Great experience all around and will be back!
Everytime I go to Philly I got to stop in and eat here. It’s well worth going out of your way. Large portions great service and a cool atmosphere. What more can you ask for. Price is cheap for all you get. There’s more to phill than just the cheesesteak. You won’t be disappointed. They treat you like family. I would add pics but I have to many to look through to find there meals. This is a must try.
The food was delicious, tasteful and flavorful. The atmosphere had a great feeling with clean tables. The speak Spanish and English if you don't speak Spanish to order. The menu is written in both languages for everyone to place orders. You can order on Door Dash also.
Authentic Dominican experience; felt like I was back home. Loved the food, service, music, ambiance and aesthetics. I’m from the region where the owner is from and can say that this place really brings the vibes. Love it and would definitely recommend.
If you are looking for the real taste and experience of Dominican food, I highly recommend this place. They have a wide variety of options and the atmosphere transports you to the island. This is an independant establishment that was unable to bounce back to its original popularity after Covid and it deserves more recognition!
Best Dominican food I’ve had in Philly. The restaurant itself is really nice, they put a lot of work into the interior design- it’s very tropical inside and reminds me of places I’ve been in the DR. The handmade patio furniture is very cool.
Food was amazing! I had my go to Dominican Place back in the Bronx, NY. I accidentally stumbled upon this place when visiting the rail park. So glad I found it, I am sure I will be back, and tell all my friends about this place. We love food! AND! They also have an outside eating area that has a rustic look, which I love.
Food all tasted good and the value was great. Service was also very nice. You can get a good dinner for 2 for $20 and maybe even less. Fried Plantains were very tasty.
Love the food here always get half chicken with rice. Service is amazing very friendly and good food.
Don’t let the meager decor fool you. The food was delicious!
