I went there late at night, around 1 a.m., and was honestly surprised by how good everything was. The food tasted like real Dominican home cooking, full of flavor and very authentic. The staff was extremely welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. The place has been renovated recently, so it looks much nicer than in the older photos. Drinks were excellent, and on weekends they also have theme parties, which add a fun vibe. Overall, I definitely recommend trying this spot—it’s worth it.

I ordered the carnitas fritas with rice and this is my 2nd time ordering it on Doordash. The first time I had it, it was great and I liked it so much I decided to order to again today. That was a big mistake because what came to my house today was not edible at all. The beef was absolutely burnt to a crisp. And not only that, it was extremely over-salted (probably because it was burnt). Also they didn't even give the sauce that's supposed to come with carnitas fritas. I complained to Doordash and got my money back and normally I don't like leaving negative reviews, but this was horrible. They shouldn't be serving food like that, especially when people pay money for it. Hope the owner sees this and does something about the quality because that's not right.

The place is comfortable to drink. Good service from the employees. The bad thing is that the place does not have any type of surveillance cameras and there have been multiplex thefts, mainly at night.

Music was unacceptably loud for a bar where everyone was sitting down... Also the waitress got our drink order completely wrong and acted like we were wrong when we said we didn't want what she brought (to be clear, we ordered 3 shots of Fireball, and she brought us 3 Coronas) - not fun to spend time at.
