Absolutely delicious, so much food I had a food coma right after, easily 5000 calories per dish. Worth it. I had the ox tail and the chicharrón, with a morir soñando and presidente beer. The service is fast, even though the restaurant was packed, they were able to sit us as a party of six. Also great playlist!

I had a wonderful lunch experience today. This was my first time tasting Dominican food. I would highly recommend this restaurant! The staff was friendly and professional. My food was fresh, hot, and delicious. I'm so happy that I tried something new today! Thank you!

This is such a great spot for lunch. There were so many great sounding options it was difficult to decide, but ultimately I decided on the Dominican sandwich and it was amazing! Such a delicious combo with tender pork, fried cheese, and sweet plantains. Definitely hit the spot!

This spot has a nostalgic atmosphere to me. The food was great, felt like my grandma made my dish. What’s a Spanish meal without a side salad tho? Iykyk! I would definitely come here again! If you want white rice don’t go at the end of day like I did! White rice was out but that’s all good, food still slapped! If you’re in the LES you should definitely EAT HERE for authentic Spanish food!

Amazing authentic Dominican food! I was nervous to bring my bf here as he was born and raised in the DR and can be so judgemental of food. We both absolutely loved it. Everything had so much flavor. It was so good! A really nice atmosphere and the service was great.

The food was terrific! Great portions and a lot of flavor, this is the place to go if you want top tier Spanish food. In particular I recommend going for both the flan and leche cake for dessert. Too good to pass up

Casual dining. Had the lunch special and Cubano. Lunch special portion is generous, juicy chicken on fluffy yellow rice with well cooked beans. Cubano pork was very tasty and the sandwich was properly pressed but was missing yellow mustard. Service was fast and friendly.

The food is authentic, and the staff are very nice. We went on a Friday around 7:30p and it was pretty full which is a good sign. I would have given this place 5 stars across the board, but a few things took away from that: 1. It was my first time eating here. Came with co-workers who frequent this place. They don't have beers listed on the menus, so you just have to know about them. 2. Apparently, they usually serve bread to every table before each meal comes out, but we didn't get that. Even asked for it, but it never arrived. 3. I ordered a roasted chicken sandwich, but was informed that they were out of chicken (which is odd since at least half of their menu items are chicken). 4. After settling for the pork sandwich, but no mayo, and it was very dry (maybe that's why they included the mayo) and while the bread was thoroughly toasted, I could tell it was also a bit stale due to the way it crumbled. 5. It seemed to take a while to get out our food, which was essentially 3 sandwiches, and 2 were the same order. Nice staff, decent prices, gif location, friendly atmosphere, and decent food. I just wouldn't go out of the way, or recommend it as a spot. There are much better places in the neighborhood.

Very good Dominican fare. The pork chops, yellow rice and beans are great. Excellent Café con Leche. The dinner prices are a little higher than expected. Excellent service.

Truly a neighborhood gem. Visited here many times and never disappointed. Great prices and consistently great prices. I usually get the chicken chunks (boneless) but I had the chicken mofongo instead, my friend ordered the cheese monfongo. My mofongo was great, wasn’t expecting to have two nicely fried pieces of chicken as a garnish, I also like that the mofongo portion wasn’t huge and comes with a side of salad (great for such a carb-heavy dish). Great flavors, but would’ve loved to taste a bit more garlic. The consumé that comes with the mofongo adds all the flavor you need. Service was okay, atmosphere is nice and it’s great that they accept card and cash.

Good food for a decent price. Tradional breakfasts here. Very well prepared and the service is excellent. I don't think I ever had corn pancakes before which I find delicious. We weren't the biggest fans of the smashed plantains. Kind of grits but made with green plantains. Overall a good eating experience.

Good food a reasonable price. My colleague ordered traditional Dominican food, which they loved, and I went for the more adventurous side and got a secret Dominican Cuban sandwich. The setup feels more for dining in than ordering out. If you are in a rush, I would recommend ordering in advance as the food takes some time to come out.

Ok so, of course I am a little biased with Dominican food since it's what I was raised with. But, I can tell when the taste is reasonably fair or if it's a fake. This one passed the test and I can at…

I had the chicken soup with white rice on the side, the soup was very good and the rice was perfect. The atmosphere does feel alittle too plain, they tried to spruce it up with holiday decorations but there’s something about it I can’t put my finger on that it’s missing

Ordered adobo wings, def not as advertised. Not golden brown, more like dark brown from not cooking in a clean oil. Place does seem solid just the wings not even coming close to what they advertise…

Be careful with the lunch specials. The server conveniently "forgot" to mention that the oxtail wasn't included in the specials even though I specifically asked for a list of lunch specials and it was on that list. I ended up paying 2x nore for my lunch than I expected and oxtail was nothing special. I won't be eating here again.

Ordered delivery from Castillo de Jagua and honestly it was disappointing. The portions were tiny for the price, and the food showed zero effort—bland, under-seasoned, and felt thrown together. This used to be a dependable spot, but lately the quality just isn’t there. For what they charge, you expect flavor and a decent serving, not this. Definitely not worth it.
