Perico Ripiao Latin Food

Absolutely Incredible Experience at Perico Ripiao! We visited Perico Ripiao and were blown away by the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, we were immersed in a vibrant, authentic atmosphere that truly captures the heart of Dominican culture. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the entire vibe of the place made us feel like we were right back in the Dominican Republic. To top it all off, our server Evelyn made our experience even more memorable with her amazing service, attention to detail, and incredibly positive attitude. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Dominican roots. Whether you’re reconnecting with your heritage or discovering Dominican culture for the first time, Perico Ripiao delivers an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely loved our lunch at this Dominican restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming vibe set the tone. The service was outstanding—our waiter, Dorkis, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. The food was phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and authentically Dominican. Every dish was cooked to perfection and served with care. You can really tell they take pride in what they do here. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

"Blessings to the incredible restaurant owners and staff Patricia and Elba for their outstanding service and hospitality .The food was so authentic, so delicious!! Words can't fully express how amazing this experience was. You have to go for the Experience. You won't regret it. Thank you for your dedication and passion!" May the Lord continue to bless your family and business. Love, Safira &Kenny

My team and I were in Orlando for a business trip and we had an amazing dinner except two of them got food poisoning the next day… so not only they lost a day of work we were short staff due to this unfortunate event. Its certain because it was the only place we ate together that day. Overall, Great entertainment great food but should really focus on the hygiene of the kitchen

Absolutely delicious! The best Dominican food I have had. Our server Alba was so welcoming and kind. The portions are more than generous. It felt nostalgic being here.

Parking for the restaurant is conveniently located in the back, just a short and easy walk to the entrance. Our waitress, Tatiana, was warm, attentive, and helpful with meal recommendations. My cousin ordered the seafood mofongo in a rich creole sauce and loved it so much she’s already planning to return tomorrow for another serving! I had the whole fried red snapper, “Chillo Boca Chica,” served with plantains, salad, and an ice-cold Presidente beer. While I’m not usually a beer drinker, this one was surprisingly smooth and enjoyable. The snapper was perfectly crispy on top—absolutely delicious. The bottom side was a bit salty, but Tatiana kindly said she’d pass that feedback along to the kitchen. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for your next meal—it’s a great dining experience with flavorful food and outstanding service.

The food was delicious, environment was so fun, music was lit, and our server Yanaissy was fantastic! She was very attentive, sweet, and funny! We loved the DJ & live music. We will definitely be coming back! ✨

It was like taking a trip to Dominican Republic. The decor was on point! The moment you walk in, you’re reminded of your childhood.. if you know, you know. Food was great! Yocasta O. was our server and she was absolutely delightful. Her personality and professionalism was so welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again!

Yocasta was amazing great service. Everything out the kitchen was amazing very flavorful

If you are looking for a club atmosphere but not go to a club this is the place to be. We went on a Saturday night and at 9pm it turns into a club feel. It is a very loud atmosphere even from the start with a DJ then a live band starts at 9pm. The service was on point even as busy as they are it is a very lively place to be. The food was good, the appetizer of the hamburger could've used a little more sauce as the tostones made it a little dry. They go around to the different tables and ask if anyone is celebrating a birthday and they make a big deal about that and everyone is singing, clapping and dancing. A photographer goes around and takes pic of the tables and of course sells them at the end which we did end up buying two 4x7 pictures for $30.00. We will definitely will be back even though it is a little pricey it is a very fun place to be

Not the place for pescatarians, but good for music and vibes. I was excited to visit Perico Ripiao and support a Dominican spot, but my experience left me disappointed -- especially when it came to the food and how my dietary needs were handled. I'm a pescatarian, and I clearly told the waitress that I do not eat meat. I ordered mofongo with shrimp, yet my plate came out with pork mixed in. When I questioned it, she told me "mofongo is only made with pork" -- something that should've been mentioned before placing the order. It was careless and frustrating, especially since I made my dietary restrictions clear from the start. The menu also lacks pescatarian options, and no effort was made to guide me toward a better choice. I also ordered a morir soñando that was overly thick and too heavy on the carnation milk. It didn't taste like the traditional drink I know and love -- just sweet, creamy, and missing that refreshing orange flavor. With all that said, I will say this: the music is great. If you're coming for the live DJ or band, dancing, fun vibes, and drinks, you'll likely enjoy yourself. The energy is vibrant, and it's a good spot for pictures and a night out -- just don't come expecting thoughtful service or pescatarian-friendly meals.

Our first time at this restaurant, and it was a bit of a mixed experience. The vibe was great -- lively atmosphere with music playing when we arrived, and a live band wrapping up as we were seated. Afterward, a DJ kept the energy going, which we really enjoyed. Service, however, could use some improvement. One of the dishes we ordered was initially missed -- we're not sure if it was due to the loud music or a miscommunication -- but to their credit, once we brought it up, they got the plate out quickly. Our server also stood over us while we were reviewing the receipt, which felt a little uncomfortable. The food itself was quite good, but the drinks were just okay. One person in our group ordered a beer that was almost room temperature and had to ask for ice -- twice -- which isn't ideal. Overall, a fun atmosphere and decent food, but there's room for improvement in service and drink quality. I would give it a second try.

Walking in this places decor is great super caribeño. They had live music and the ambiance was amazing. However the food lacked flavor. For it to be a "Dominican" spot le falto sazon a todo. And we tried 7 different items lol. The drinks -- were good on point. I had the nueva yol old fashioned made with brugal. 10/10 would come back for the band and drinks. 1/10 for the food it was just super bland and dry Mofongos.

We had such a fun experience! While we were visiting Kissimmee we had looked for restaurant to try that was close to where we were staying. We read the great reviews and looked at the menu and we were sold, and came to give it a try. It was less than 5 minutes from where we were staying and pretty close to old town. Located in a shopping center with parking. When we walked in it was loud with music playing and we were greeted with a friendly hostess. The restaurant was busy with a birthday party and full of diners. They were getting ready to start the live music, it was perfect timing. Every detail was well thought out. The vibrant decor of colors representing the Caribbean felt like you were transported to Santo Domingo. The menus were meant to look like the Dominican passport and the drink menu was the boarding pass. Such a cute detail! We started the night off with a magarita large enough for two with a beer turned upside down in it. For appetizer we ordered yucca balls filled with mozzarella and served in a delicious white bechamel sauce. With the hot sauce they brought to the table it was a perfect bite drizzle with some heat. Highly recommend it was tasty. The portions are a good size to share. We were served with 3 yucca balls. For our main we shared the beef monfongo. Oh my it was a good portion and more than enough for two people. The dish was served with the Dominican flag. It was so rich with flavor. Mofongo is made with fried green plantains that are mashed with garlic and is typically served with a side of fried meat and broth. For dessert we had a warm bread pudding marinated with rum and a scoop of ice cream. With every bite you could taste the warm hint of rum and the ice cold ice cream were a great pair. As the evening went on people started dancing to the live band and the sound got louder. As much as I loved the energy I thought the music was loud. It was hard to communicate. Overall if you are in the area definitely stop by for delicious food and great vibes!

During my trip to the Kissimmee area for a freestyle reunion concert, my friend Vancy, and I took a fun & delicious culinary detour to the Dominican Republic via Perico Ripiao restaurant. I mean, start off with the fact that their menu covers look like the Dominican passport and the drink menu looks like a plane ticket! It's located a short distance from hotel row. Tucked away in a strip mall entrance, we walked into a loud and lively restaurant with a lot of culture from the DR, from the Brugal bottle to the "Descarada" doll (folklore dolls from the Dominican Republic painted with no face). The volume of the bachata and merengue is LOUD! You come here to eat and have fun, not necessarily to chat. Our waitress was pleasant and in point with recommendations. We started by sharing a tequila michelada with a bottle of Presidente (traditional Dominican beer). Next up was a tasty & rich appetizer of Yuqita. These rolled balls of yucca & cheese, similar to an arancini, were set in a yummy bechamel & hot sauce (of course we asked for extra hot sauce.) For the main course, we shared their "COTIZAO" (steak mofongo). Mofongo, as an FYI, is a dish with a plantain crust, chicharrón and broth. It is then stuffed with a meat or veggie of your choosing. Although our waitress said the plate was for one, it was so hearty & tasty to the point I was almost full. However, room had to be made for dessert! Dessert was a warm bread pudding, marinate in rum (of course!!) and a scoop of ice cream on top. The flavors were so good that two "full" individuals almost finished it. Que Rico! So basically next time you're in Kissimmee, run don't walk, here for delicious Dominican bites and dancing. It takes more of a club vibe including a live band later at night.

The food was ok. The place is typical Dominican Republic. But buyer beware. They will add 20% to the bill as a service surcharge and then the waitress will tell you that the charge doesn't include the tip. You have to leave additional money because they don't pay her from the surcharge. So then they are putting you on a bad spot even though you are paying a mandatory tip. Someone is lying. Is it the waitress or the restaurant. Well go ask. Stay away. There are a lot better restaurants in orlando that don't play this game of mandatory fees. That's a shame.

Had a great time at this restaurant the food was amazing and the waitress was amazing thank you for everything AAA+++

Food was amazing delicious and authentic, the service was top tier Dorkis the hostess was great in guiding us through the menu and choosing drinks. The ambiance is unique a little of dr here in Orlando!

Your waitress Patrica is an excellent server for my friends and me. She has great patience with us. The foods are so delicious and ambiance is so beautiful design and great music as well. Of course, I will come back that restaurant again in the future.

What a nice welcome by Tatiana (the Uruguayan Dominican!). We went for lunch and had a delicious Picalonga Appetizers tray (huge and tasty). Also had the Mangú con To' Los Golpes was tasty as well. Had two Chinola juices. A bit expensive though. Thanks Tatiana we had a great time!

Back again and it didn't disappoint. My father was visiting from out of town and since he is Dominican I knew this would be the best place to take him. The whole family had a great time, service was on point and the food was so so good! We went in the afternoon because we had the kids with us as well and it was a very pleasant environment.

Very delicious authentic Dominican food! We both ordered the churrasco and it was cooked perfectly. We had the empanadas as an appetizer and they were just as good! The had live music and we sat at the bar and enjoyed the show. It's not a huge place, so I recommend smaller parties! It's loud in there like a club so sitting with more than 4 people would be hard to communicate with. It's definitely a lively place and people danced all night! Service was exceptional and the food came out quickly! I enjoyed the decor that reminded you of real Dominican culture! There was about 30 people waiting outside for a seat. Which says a LOT! As a Dominican myself, I approve!

Small Spanish place on 192. Ordered the bistec and it came out with burnt rice that got thrown on the top of my meal. Weird and terrible. The steak was rubbery. Did not really enjoy my meal.

If you're looking for good service this is NOT the spot. I ordered a Sangria and Coke. The sangria tasted like it had expired wine, got a Diet Coke instead of coke. The food is overpriced, both plates I ordered were salty. They also add a 20% service charge so our meals for two were almost $100. Definitely not worth it and won't be going back.

Loved this place and I would be back as often as I could. The food was excellent and they serve a pretty good amount. We went on a Monday, which was karaoke night and had the best time watching people come on stage. The DJ himself would also sing when there was nobody to come on. The service was excellent as well. Highly recommend.

This is my second time dining at Perico Ripiao. I love the colorful decor and authentic Dominican ambiance. The staff is always friendly and genuinely seems happy to be working there. We came for breakfast and all three of us had the mangu. It was fresh, filling and delicious. The fresh juices are made in house and tasted amazing. They have live music on Fridays, bachata on Saturday, and merengue.

If you are looking for good Dominican food, live music, dancing, and just an overall good time this is the place for you. If you have a bigger party, I definitely recommend making a reservation because this place is busy all the time, but I completely understand why. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is just an added bonus. If you're ever in Kissimmee, you have to swing by! (each photo is a different time I've eaten here)

This dominican restaurant really telleported me back to the island. They decorations around the restaurant were perfect. Full of bright colors and caribbean vibes. The food was very good too. It took a little longer then I expected to come out but worth the wait. 5 stars!

The food might be GREAT! Unfortunately the service is the complete opposite. HORRIBLE! What to expect: If you want to have friendly service. NOT HERE! If you want to be greeted! NOT HERE! If you want to be seated and not acknowledged! YES HERE! If you want to be seated and completely forgotten! YES HERE! If you want to be seated and wait until someone maybe desides to help. YES HERE! If you are patient want good food and don't care to wait forever and then maybe eventually get service. YES HERE! If you are hungry want great food, Good service, get the food TO GO!

This business, clear as day, still has a sign that says Perico Ripiao. But they also have a small sign with a new business name. They also have a huge Venezuelan flag in their window, not Dominican which this listing indicates. With that information, I was happy bc I did want a Venezuelan food in the first place. My favorite was the sancocho which is a chicken stew. It was so warm, hearty, and tasty. I had a small bowl of this and was mighty happy. We also ordered an arepa with steak and avocado and tomato and a cachapa with steak. These were two generous sized entrees. The steak is tasty but u definitely have to trim the fat. We were quite full and happy. Their menu, not pictured here is all in Spanish. Perhaps they have one in English. I was fine with this menu bc I do love this food and know what the majority of it is. Just ask if you are not sure. They will be happy to assist. It's a great restaurant with decs inside and great service!

Terrible experience! Walked in, waited 15 min to be acknowledged by the host, there wasn't a line, not busy. The host( a young teenager) asked how many people, we said 3, he looked at us funny because we spoke English but he did as well which makes no sense,we followed him and then he took off talking to some other people and ignored us. I went up to him and asked can we get a table and he acted like we were bothering him. He only gave us one menu when there's three of us. When he gave us the menu he threw it on the table.Then when the waitress comes, she asks us what we want to drink, we're not sure, she doesn't suggest anything and takes off. We felt very dismissed and unhappy with the service so we all left. We were very upset because it's our friends Birthday and we wanted to make it special and don't want to be running around Orlando trying to find a restaurant when we really wanted this food. Spoke with Blanca on the phone, she apologized but her staff needs some serious customer service skills because they wouldn't even get a 1 out of 5 stars. Common sense goes a long way. I guess they updated their policy, if you don't speak Spanish, they don't want you in here, if you come they won't treat you well so don't bother.

I can never say anything bad about the food here or the fabulous music they play. We always have a great time coming here. But the service is terrible. Elsa our waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there and had an attitude from the start. Not to mention we got our appetizers before our drinks. We had asked for waters first and then we ordered cocktails but even then our appetizers came out first. It took for ever for her to check up on us and to bring us the bill. Then she got upset when we wanted to do separate checks and not to mention a 20% tip was included? That was a shocker after receiving such terrible service.

First time at this restaurant. If you don't mind the loud music than this is fine for you. Food is ok, one of us had the bistec with onions and is very tin and not much taste. Pieces of chicken on bone were ok. Fried whole fish was very good. The Parmesan was a piece of fried chicken with very little sauce and some cheese on top. Service was below average at best. They add a 20% tip on parties of 6 or more which I found ridiculous. We ordered water at the beginning and he never brought it to us. The Parmesan came after everyone else had their food for 15 minutes.

BEst Churrasco in FLORIDA .. service and ambiance. Celebrated my wife birthday here it was amazing but a bit expensive,,

This was my first time at the new location which is a lot more spacious. Super cute decor, I felt like I was in Santiago. Service was good, and for a Wednesday night it wasn't super busy, we got seated immediately. Keep in mind this place does not accept reservations. The options and food were good, but I do feel like they needed more alcohol options. I look forward to coming back when there is live music and try more items.

Perfect place to go for a drink, enjoy happy hour and dance to live music! Definitely recommend going after 7pm for the live band!

Disappointing service, to say the least. Our server took our order and never returned to check on our table as we waited over an hour for our food. Typically, servers check in, offer refills, and ensure everything is okay, but we were completely ignored. I even had to get up and order my drink from the bar since she was nowhere to be found. When the food finally arrived, two plates were missing. Understanding that kitchens sometimes stagger orders, we waited a few minutes. However, after more than five minutes--while the rest of our table was already eating--the server was still nowhere in sight. A manager passed by, and we had to flag her down to let her know we hadn't seen our server since placing our order over an hour ago. She sent the server over, and when we mentioned the missing plates, the server went to the kitchen and brought them out immediately--unfortunately, 10 minutes after everyone else had already received their food and was nearly finished. Had the server simply checked on us, she would have noticed the missing dishes and ensured they came out with the rest of the meals. The lack of attentiveness was disappointing and negatively impacted our experience. Apart from all of that, the food was absolutely delicious.

We had a party of 14 and had trouble sitting us even with us offering to wait. We finally get seated and another 4 should up that we didn't expect and the waitress said she could not move an empty table next to us to join our group. Until I told her then you explain to the manager why all 14 of us will get up and leave together if the other 4 can't job us. Also our food came out piece meal a few plates at a time. Some of if were finished and other were just getting served. Good for small groups of 4 not for large groups. After spending almost $1,500. We will not be back.

Pésima atención, excepto el chico que nos recibió en la entrada, nos sentaron en la mesa y esperamos 20 y las meseras ni se acercaron ni siquiera para dar bienvenida y ofrecer al menos las aguas, atendían a la raza de ellas menos a las personas de otros lados, el sitio es muy lindo la comida se veía típica del país dominicano teníamos altas expectativas pero fue un desastre, totalmente decepcionados como familia, antes de darles una mala reseña si les diría que le saquen ventaja al espacio la decoración y la comida y que cambien de meseras, no sirven, son pésimas.

Hello, my fellow Yelpers! I happen to be vacationing in Orlando, FL! This beautiful Dominican restaurant at Kissimmee is great! It couldn't be more authentic with the food, decor and service. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable about the menu, and what recommendations are popular! Many of the dishes and appetizers are named after Dominican phrases, places, etc. I ordered a great cocktail made with fresh coconut, rum and raspberries in a slushy form. Everyone ended up ordering mofongos; mone was made out of yucca, longaniza and chicharrón; that's Dominican pork sausage and pork rinds smothered in a cheesy, garlicky sauce. The portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. It's a family-friendly ambiance that's good to share with family and friends. Great for large groups.

Best Dominican food in town. Live music and dancing, great ambiance and decor. I can't wait to go back.

I came to this place because the hype was so up there but I want to say the Ambiance was great! The Service Was OK. The Bartender was very slow she would take forever. The Food was not all that! I had Goat stew and my husband had Oxtail stew. The Goat Stew was brought to me cold but the sauce was hot it felt as if it was heated up from yesterday it did not have that Criollo taste when goat stew is made same day! The Oxtail had a lot of fat which I know it does but it was tough. Ox tail shod fall off the bone and this one had us pulling teeth. The entertainment was great! But the music was too loud you can't hear yourself or the waiters speak either. I say this spot is best to go just for entertainment not dining!

I was finally able to visit this place, being a Dominican myself I wanted to see what the hype was about, and of course always down for a nice homey meal. Parking was a little tight and restaurant was packed but it was father's day so I expected that. They don't take reservations but the seating was rather fast. Our serves was pretty nice and tried her best to keep up. The decor in this place is just amazing, it was like a flight back home. The menu is quite extensive and serves many options. We went for the Picalonga, it was good. For an Entre I went with the Seafood Soup, taste was great just not what I was expecting. For the Baby we ordered a side of rice and beans, it was my favorite dish honestly. My husbands Mofongo was also just okay.m, I wish it had more meat! But overall all was good. Beer was super cold and the tres leches was SO good, has a twist to it, very different. Service was a little slow, due to the capacity which I understood.

Price like a fine dining restaurant, but with the service of Waffle House.. something about automatic gratuity makes staff extremely lazy, love how they always try to finesse extra gratuity..

I went early on a Saturday night. Party of 3 was seated right away. This restaurant definitely takes you back to the Dominican Republic. From their artwork in their bathroom, ceiling umbrellas when you walk in, vegetable cart, menus, and the sazón of the food. The food was delicious and tasted fresh. While we were eating a band was setting up. Not sure if there's a band every Saturday. Definitely a place to try to see a glimpse and taste Dominican culture.

The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and we loved the design of the menus. The servers were all friendly and the general atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming. My only gripe would be that the portions were a bit small for the price, and some of the food was overcooked. Yuca Balls: 4/5 The sauce was great but I would have liked a little more flavor to the yuca itself. Bistec Encebollada: 4/5 The steak itself was good but the salad was nothing notable and the fried plantains were tough and flavorless. Mar y Tierra: 4/5 The steak was overcooked, the salad was unremarkable, the mofongo was overcooked and hard, and for $40, four pieces of shrimp seem a big small. The sauce was great, however, and redeemed the dish a bit. Overall, I enjoyed the experience of eating here as the restaurant is fun, but I wouldn't come back for the food.

First time here and I loved it. Made me feel like I was en el patio de mi casa en RD comiendo rico y disfrutando de buena música and great vibes!

I've tried coming here several times but everytime I came they were packed! I'm so glad they renovated and the place can now fit more than 20 people. Aesthetically, the place is culturally on point! Very colorful and vibrant. Even down to the menu- it was unique and a great new The music is way too loud, depending where you sit at- you will be yelling at those that came with you. Service is ok. Now bad! At first we had 2 separate waitresses taking our orders. They were personally confused about who was supposed to attend to us. Let's go to the food- Ordered some wings for appetizers- nothing fancy. Basic wings. Nothing to brag about! I certainly am shocked of the food choice. Doesn't seem like a domician dish, but I saw a lot of people ordering it, so I guess it's a fan favorite. I had the spaghetti with chicken. Now if you're not familiar with this dish, don't expect and Italian dish! This is completely different and it's outstanding. Great portion and taste of spaghetti and chicken! And somehow, as strange as it is- it comes with tostones. I don't know how but it's slammin together! My wife had the churrasco steak with white rice and beans. Beans- out of this world! White rice- Good! Steak- juicy, but flavorless. Tender but no taste at all. Very colorful with the peppers but someone dropped the ball on this steak. And the portion for this dish wasn't a lot. I'm used to Dominicans stacking on the portions. I just won't do that dish anymore, but I will certainly come back!

What an amazing dinner. I actually didn't expect it to be this good in Orlando. I have been going to DR for over 30yrs and by far this is the best I have ever had in Florida. Even most of their cocktails are made with Dominican Rum which I love. The service was extraordinary. The owner and staff were so kind and friendly which made us feel like home. All the food was impressive. My favorite appetizer was the Seafood Salad. The Rabo and the Skirt Steak were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating them. The music and the ambiance feels like you're literally in DR.

A very disappointing dining experience. We've seen some IG videos and were looking forward to authentic Dominican food. Service was terrible. One of the worst I experienced in my life. We sat over 15 minutes before I had to walk to the hostess table to ask if someone was going to take our order. Nevermind place was almost empty and servers seemed to be chatting with each other or texting. Food was ok. I wouldn't do the drive again for their food. We ordered a drink but later wanted water. We had to go over to the bar to get water because our server was nowhere to be found. Decor was pretty. Server didn't bother checking in with us again so we had to go to the hostess again to get our bill.

Food was excellent I had the pernil my husband had the chicharrón de pollo. The service was ok it was very busy so not too attentive but it wasn't a bad experience at all. They had live band so that was nice. I loved the ambiance really a lot of details From the menu to the wooden tables !

I absolutely loved this restaurant. Family and I were visiting from our of state. We wanted to eat some culturally familiar food. I'm so glad we came across this home away from home. First the decorations, it was traditional dominican home decor and it felt so good being there. The staff, was welcoming, friendly, attentive and very patient. Our server Lorena, was very attentive to my family and I needs. She provided feedback on food and we were not disappointed. She came around multiple times and made sure we were always satisfied. The food, it will speak for itself. Every single, different platter we got was AMAZING. Finger kicking, goooooooood. This food was made with extra love. We ended up getting amazing entertainment. A live tipico band went up, and it just put the icing on the cake. Definitely returning to this restaurant if ever in Orlando, and will definitely recommend

We decided to go to Perico Ripiao during our Disney vacation because my son was requesting Dominican food and we were not disappointed! Our server was very attentive and the food came out quickly. Everything was delicious and incredibly flavorful. The restaurant itself included everything beautiful about the Dominican Republic and its culture and made for an awesome experience! We left so full and happy and cannot wait until we return to central Florida to eat there again!

Very cute spot in Orlando. We were blown away just by the entrance. There were replicas of home back in the day and lots of goodies you can find in DR. Def a picture worthy location. The food was pretty good. Some things we did enjoy more than others. I love the name on the menus, pretty original and quite funny. Service was great too. If you're in the mood for some comida criolla and some Dominican music this is the spot.

Having a Dominican ex wife I got used to the nuances of the food and this place is on point with the food and ambiance. Customer was excellent and enjoyed the food

Came here with the family it's very nice inside the food was good but the service was the worse the lady kept hiding in the back had to keep asking the other waitresses to call her and what made me more disappointed was that we ask her for 5 cups of water she came out with 5 bottles of water and said this is all they had mean while the other waitress got the table next to me a pitcher I was wondering we she did that and when I got the bill they charged me 5 dollars each bottle of water and the gratuity was included on the check so basically she wanted to pump up the bill to get a bigger tip it's a nice place and good food don't get me wrong but I can't stand thieves so will never go back again

I called ahead to make a reservation for 10 - 11 people, in which they had me call another number. In order to obtain a reservation, I was told I had to get a celebration package (The one for up to 10 people is $450 plus service and tax). Said package includes Balloons (6 latex & 1 mylar), cake, asst appetizers, and 2 btls of Brugal 1888 with mixers. It also includes " A Show" which is basically some staff banging pots and pans. When asked if we could make some adjustments they said no. They did however replace the unwanted alcohol with passionfruit drink and piña colada. Our service was extremely slow. The server was either new or just simply clueless. We had to consistently ask for things Or get them ourselves. The food was cold when it got to our table. The meat had a funny smell, some of the food was sent back and still it wasn't good. The name on the cake and signage was spelled wrong even though it was sent via text. The busser was extremely rude and even placed her dirty gloves into a glass that was still being used. She tossed a bunch of to go plasticware on the table with a bunch of saucers, (some we sent back cause they were dirty) not plates, to serve the cake with. After 3 hours I had to ask if said "show" was happening since my mother (86 y/o) couldn't be there much longer. Sadly, we couldn't even have conversation since the music was so loud. To add insult to injury, seven of eleven in my party got sick with nausea and diarrhea. Overall, it was an extremely awful. Not worth the almost $900 that was spent. I contacted the manager and the restaurant with a detailed explanation of my experience and nothing was done. They don't care about customer satisfaction. The one positive thing that I can say is that it has a traditional Dominican countryside decor that was appealing, hence the 1 star rating.
