"Hands down my place to go for chicken soup for cold days or when you are sick. The broth compared to other places this place has stand out from my opinion. I had to come again and check out different type of food. Definitely I didn't like the tresleche dessert hard pass for me. Some of this other dishes needed flavor. The juice in my opinion it was too sweet. I can't drink things like this."

"Came here on Mother's Day morning 2023. My wife and I wanted some Dominican breakfast and we came here after seeing good reviews and photos. The staff was very friendly and were able to accommodate special requests regarding juices that they did not have posted and changing menu items for kids. Everything they made was fresh and we did have to wait a little but as long as it tasted good we did not mind. The food came out, I had ordered a omelette with cheese, onions, and peppers and fries for the kids, my wife ordered mangu with tres golpes (mashed plantains with butter, red onions, fried salami, fried egg, avocado, and fried cheese), my daughters order pancakes with bacon, and my little one wanted rice. We all liked the food! My eggs were tasty and satisfying, my wife ate the whole thing (that means she liked it), my daughters did not like the look of the pancakes, however, when they tried them, they ate all the pancakes and bacon. My little one enjoyed the rice. We also ordered morir sonando (orange juice, condensed milk, and milk) and 1 parcha con leche (passion fruit with milk). We also enjoyed the music. They played some Christian music then some old school latin ballads. I would definitely come back is near by and highly recommend!"
