“ Last minute stop off the NJ Turnpike and got some Dominican food. It was late night so it wasn't super busy and we were greeted right away. Food was served pretty quickly and was good - we got Tostones (fried plantains), Longaniza (Dominican sausage) & Chimi's (Dominican style burgers). Todo Rico!! ”
“ Always my late night food place. Everything is so good! I've been coming here for years! ”
“ This place is as authentic as it gets when it comes to Caribbean food. The flavors are amazing and the warmth and friendliness of the staff is what makes you want to keep coming back. They make their own sauce which they infuse into all of their dishes. The owner is a sweet, beautiful, and one can see....hard working woman who is welcoming and puts her heart and soul into this place. I brought my family to the restaurant since we are from out of town and wanted some authentic Hispanic food. This place delivered, and then some. I had the mofongo with shrimp in garlic sauce and my wife had the red snapper. The owner made the kids some special kid friendly dishes accompanied by the most delicious milkshakes I have ever tasted. The milkshake is called morir sonando, which means to die dreaming. I was sold on the name alone! This is definitely a place I will return to. Awesome food, more than reasonable prices, family friendly, and it is open until really late. Be sure to ask for Celeste the owner if you decide to drop by. She makes everyone feel like a VIP! ”
“ Mofongo. It came in my inbox from chow hound. I wanted to eat it. I searched for it online and found that in the new businesses on Madison Ave there is a place with murals and music and from what people are saying, great Mofongo. I go there, and..its true. The place is really attractive, the murals and wood bar and stools with an open kitchen and big jukebox. The people are friendly and explain to me all about Mofongo. I had the Shrimp Mofongo to go, delicious shrimp in a garlic type sauce over a big mound of Mofongo, mashed plantains with crackling mixed in. I was very happy. This is a cool Dominican restaurant. I want to go back and try the grilled Tilapia or the stewed goat. I learned there is a big Dominican festival in Perth Amboy every August, I will have to check that out too. ”
