I have eaten here many times during the time I have spent here in Philadelphia…
I will be leaving Philly shortly, so I felt compelled to write a review about this restaurant….
Although I have basically tasted the entire menu, I would say that their Rabo Encendido (oxtail stew) has always been a standout; the meat falls off the bone and it is submerged in a rich, deeply seasoned sauce. Their Pollo Guisado (specially the family combo was always a home run)… If you’re looking for something that’s definitely a Dominican plate, I would recommend the Mofongo con Chicharrón, which I recommend eating it in house to enjoy it hot (don’t have this delivered)…. Make sure to get it with the accompanying broth (can be a little garlicky FYI).
As far as the ppl that work there…. Every single time the service was attentive and warm—the staff truly made us feel like family…
The prices are more than reasonable for the generous portions, though parking in this area can be a bit tricky because of the proximity to the city center. nonetheless, it’s a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Dominican home cooking.
