This restaurant was recommended by my husband’s barber, so we decided to give it a try. Food was on point service needed some help. We would still go again but the food is good.Food: 5/5
As a Dominican allí can say is that this restaurant is way beyond 5 stars. I felt like I was eating in DR! Don’t believe the negative comments because this food was excellent!!!!! 100% recommendedFood: 5/5
Absolutely enjoyed my evening dining here, what a hidden gem. It was annoying the uber driver didn’t know where it was and just dropped us off at the corner, luckily we walked a little further and found it. We had Julissa as a server and an older gentleman I forgot his name. Wonderful service, made sure we had everything we needed at all times as well as kept the drinks refilled. We had empanadas, oxtail, papa fritas, tostones and Camarones Guisados. The only thing I didn’t like was the cheese empanadas, it was barely any cheese in it. Such a waste of an appetizer, but the chicken ones were really tasty. I think they could have used a dipping sauce as well. It turns out it server was actually the owner of the establishment. We talked to her for a long time after eating and learned about her husband and hers journey of owning the restaurant. She was such a lovely lady, great conversation and hospitality. Even with the tip she said she was giving all of it to her chefs, so nice. I couldn’t have asked for a better evening out in Houston. My Dominican friend I went with was so happy to eat some good food that tasted like back home. Share stories of the Dominican, drink Dominican beers and even buy some Dominican coffee to take back to MN. Good vibes, good laughs, good drinks, good food, good services and a great evening out. Will definitely visit every time I am in Houston. Thank you Julissa.
Disappointment in Every Bite I recently dined at this restaurant and I can confidently say it was the worst Mofongo I've ever had. From the moment it arrived at my table, I was met with a dry, hard, and completely tasteless dish that was far from the flavorful experience I was hoping for. To make matters worse, Instead of the classic mojo to make it moist, they served a sauce that tasted like canned beef stew—absolutely terrible! It was as if the chef had forgotten the essential ingredients that make Mofongo enjoyable. I couldn't even finish it—it was that unappetizing. When I brought my concerns to the waitress and the manager, I was offered a measly 20% discount on my meal, which felt more like an insult than a solution, especially since I barely touched the food. Overall, my experience was incredibly disappointing, and I won’t be returning. If you're looking for authentic Mofongo or Dominican Food do yourself a favor and skip this place. Save your taste buds and your money!
It was very nice. Spanish music playing. The service was great. The food was good. Plenty of parking. It is a family restaurant.Food: 4/5
Amazing food and the staff is so helpful! I got the oxtail with beans and rice and it was on point! My husband really wanted the pork chunks but they were out so he ordered chicharron de pollo instead and was not disappointed!Food: 5/5

Best Dominican food so far in Charlotte...native NYer here and haven't been wowed by many places!Food: 5/5
Needs some upgrades. Food was good. My black beans were a little cold. There was 5 of us, everyone enjoyed their meal. One guess had red snapper he said it was a little dry. Other than that the food was good and the waitress was attentive. Good service. Vegetarian options: You can only get beans or plantains. No plant base food. No impossible.
