“ incredible food, great prices, beautiful restaurant, super sweet staff. I got the oxtail stew special, the sweet fried plantains (maduros), the 1/2 pernil with rice and beans, and the passion fruit juice. all of it was FANTASTIC. I will be eating here many more times! ”
“ Saved once again by a 24/7 restaurant. These stuffed potato balls are great--hard to beat fried potato. And they are larger than you think. The blood sausage has a savory, rich flavor palette. I also ordered the fried cassava bites, but my serving was chewy and over-fried. If they were taken out of the fryer a minute sooner, they would be perfect. Very hospitable workers though. ”
“ Fast and friendly service- great local joint. Wide selection of items and the prices are great. I got a healthy serving of Pernil and a big plate of rice and beans for $10. Great taste and value. Would come back! ”
“ The Friday night Bacaloa is incredible. Like making the journey across Burroughs for this deliciousness. AND they are open 24hours. ”
“ The food is good the service is good yams is great... It's a grocery store that serves hot Dominican food for lunch... I'll be moving back to this area so I can't wait to visit again ”
