This has to be my favorite Dominican spot in NYC. Well worth the visit to White Plains Rd in the BX. They have the best lentils - hands down. And their Guanabana juice (soursop) is to die for. They have a full bar, but that juice is so good - I almost always skip the alcohol and order it. The atmosphere is a throwback to “campo” life (country). The music is always pumping, the service friendly, and quick. the parking can be hit or miss so keep that in mind. Might be worth just cabbing it so you can enjoy that bar that I never get to.

The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. It was a group of 8, and we had no complaints. We celebrated my brother's birthday, eating, laughing, and singing him a happy birthday in a very special way.

The environment is very welcoming, very Dominican and I like everything that has in the Dominican culture. It was my mother's birthday and we had a great time and she was very legitimate. A bit small but excellent.

If you are looking for authentic Dominican cuisine, this is it!!! It's a gem. Honestly, the space is small but well worth it. The fish with coconut sauce was delicious. A must try. My husband tried the chivo, and he loved it. It was tender and paired nicely with the white rice and guandules with coconut. The staff were friendly and professional, and the music tied it in. There is nothing better than merengue típico.

The place brings you back to all Dominican memories. From the old iron to the flip flops. The food presentation makes you just eat to take pictures and not touching it. And the service was also very friendly. Especially Marvin the bartender who ensure that we had a big time. I wish they can be a little more flexible with accommodations some food such as changing green plantain for sweet plantain.
