Come here for authentic Dominican food! You can get the biggest bang for your buck by getting a half chicken with a side like plantains.If you are willing to spend more, go for the delicious mofongo.

Great authentic and traditional cuisine at this Dominican Republic restaurant. Try the half roasted chicken and white rice and beans with a side of sweet plantains. Wash it down with sangria.

The rotisserie chicken is by far the best in the city. Another item not to be missed is the Tres Leches dessert. It is so good you'll flip after tasting it.
