Busy place and yet consistent every time I’ve gone. They always have time to say something witty or charming when you order. The Homemade juices are worth every dollar and the chimis are the best I’ve had in NY & NJ. The daily specials are super fresh and that vegetable yellow rice must have some type of magic in it.

Food is to die for! You feel the culture and it’s so welcoming, I’ve come back at least 10 times, I love it so much. The chimi is so good, def worth every penny. Lynne’s customer service is great too, really helped me, when it came to picking what to eat, great recommendations. Food tastes like home. Definitely a hidden gem you need to visit!

The photos don’t do this place justice! We traveled all the way from Virginia just to try it, and it was so worth it. My baby had the arroz con habichuelas and fried chicken — hands down the best we’ve had in a very long time. The beans were incredibly authentic, full of rich Dominican sazón, with lots of auyama and a natural, homemade flavor you don’t find just anywhere. We also ordered the chimi and the tostadas — 100/10. Truly amazing. Every bite was full of flavor and made with natural…
