"This Blue Hill Avenue Dominican restaurant is decidedly more of a sit-down spot than a takeout spot, and you should definitely enjoy it the way it’s meant to be enjoyed at least once. But we live very close, and it’s easy enough for us to call in a takeout order, pick it up, and enjoy it from the comfort of our own home (read: on the couch while binging Deadwood). We’ve never eaten a bad thing at Merengue, and we especially love the grilled pork chops, the churrasco with chimichurri, and the mofongo with pork. —TBD" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
