Merengue Restaurant

Never giving this place my money again. The first time I ordered from them, I got a fillet of fish in coconut sauce with white rice and beans. They put the food in a cheap foil tin, so by the time I got it from the Uber driver, the sauce had soaked through the bag and the food spilled all over my steps. Thankfully, I was able to get a refund through Uber because the restaurant staff told me that since it wasn’t their fault I would have to pay to replace it. The second time I ordered from them, I found a label that appeared to be from one of their vegetables in my rice. I tried to call them to explain this, but the woman on the phone was dismissive and rude. For the third and final time, I just ordered from them tonight, and the fish that I ordered taste rancid. I ordered it right before they closed so I guess they gave me whatever was left. I also called before I order to ask them if I could get the sauce on the side, and they said I have to pay three dollars extra. Like what in the world??? If you decides to take a chance to order from here, ORDER THROUGH UBER. You have to pay for the fees, but it is worth it for you to get your money back if the food turns out to be not up to par (most likely scenario). Horrible quality from what could be a good restaurant.

I went here earlier in the year and my time was amazing over here. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the dining experience was so rich. I had the Mofongo Burger and Strawberry Smoothie and the meal tasted delightful. I will definitely plan to comeback here in the future.

Foods wa very bland I don’t live far from the restaurant I waited an hour for my food and it was freezing by the time I made home 10 minutes away whole fried snapper fish no sauce no flavor maduros cut super thick and Moro bland with no flavor been in Roxbury longer than the restaurant has and this was my first and last time eating from them my kids like the empanadas but those were also sub par

Authentic Dominican cuisine! The place was full of families enjoying the food & atmosphere

Parking can be tricky but not super bad, I would recommend use street parking. Food was good temperature and the taste was also good. The service was fast and good. Only aspect that wasn't as a good thing as everything else was the bathroom, it needed some attention for example the lock was kinda messed up, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker, because so many other things there are worth the visit.

Merengues as a food destination has been on my list for quite some time now, and I'm pleased to say I was not disappointed in the slightest 😊. Once you walk in, you feel right at home with the neighborhood energy and charm. Decorum is creative; I'm pretty sure there's a moped hanging from the ceiling 😅. The food was wonderful, with old-school portions that left you feeling full with extra to food to take home. We didn't have to wait very long, and the service had us feeling right at home. I will definitely revisit 💯

I haven't been in many years and they never disappoint. Brought my husband for the first time and he got the stewed chicken and Spanish rice mixed with beans and it was amazing. The service is always good and the ambiance welcoming. Can't wait to comeback.

I figured I'd give them another try. The way the food was packaged was sloppy and offensive. I've thrown away the beans due to possible plastic ingestion. The beans were spilled in the bottom of the bag as well.
