Being Dominican and from New York, I honestly didn’t think I’d find great, authentic Dominican food in Connecticut—but we FOUND IT! We ordered catered food and not only did we love it, but our guests were raving about it as well. The flavor, the freshness, everything was on point. We’ll definitely be going back! 🇩🇴

The Minority Recruitment and Mentoring Committee (MRMC)​ at Western Connecticut State University hosted a Professional film discussion, "In the Heights." We were delighted to have Dominican food, and everyone was so excited that it was so delicious. They especially loved the empanadas and the chicken pastelón. There was more than enough food, and everyone was able to take some food home.

I pass here all the time and the decor caught my eye from the street. I always see a lot of traffic in and out of the parking lot so I decided to give it a try. While they don’t have a ton of warm food to choose from, what they do have is really good! The inside dining area is beautiful. For 2 meals & 2 drinks it was only $21!

I really love the customer service in here is like you are getting in to a family reunion, food is always fresh and great. I live far away from it, but every time I’m close by I make sure to stop by to get some good coffee, chicharron and other things they have there. Excellent service and restaurant/deli.

The food is outta this world! I’ve been coming here for years, and the food gets better and better. The chicken soup is better than my mothers! The chicken and rice is amazing, as is everything. The only thing better than the food? The price of the food!

Food is great, the service not so much. I walked in to get a drink for my child and I. I waited 10 minutes give or take and no one acknowledged my presence. One gentleman, who needs training in customer service - as this is not the first incident with him involved, rang up the customers whose food he served and didn’t acknowledge my presence whatsoever. I took the items and returned them, as I turned around the same worker said something to his customer about me and they both began to laugh. I had to fight myself not to say something to him because as I said, it wasn’t the first time his customer service was damn near inexistent. If he can sit there and talk junk about me with his customer he could’ve very well said that he would be right me instead of ignoring me altogether. But I guess if you’re not buying food, you don’t matter.

I used go to this place when I worked in Danbury at least twice a week food was great. I been there 3 times in last week. The food quality went down. I noticed I was charged higher when I spoke English and lower price for speaking Spanish. And they talk bad about you, in your face. If they think they can get away with it
