4 New Restaurants Bring the Soulful Flavors of Dominican Republic to LA | Eater LA

"Named after the Dominican slang for a hangout, El Coro Café is a Friday-only takeout operation in Glendale run by chef Adderlin “Chicho” Rosario, who posts a short menu on social media on Mondays for preorders; the weekly selection usually features around three items and leans on holiday favorites. Popular dishes include Dominican lasagna made with ground beef, peppers, and tomato sauce seasoned with adobo; a sweeter pastelón that layers mashed plantains instead of pasta; and espagueti dominicano with chopped peppers, green olives, and a touch of evaporated milk—often enjoyed with salami and white rice or tostones—while Rosario continues to navigate challenges sourcing staples like Dominican salami and longaniza." - Bill Esparza
