Discovered this spot on Uber eats and my friends and I loved it! We would visit here almost once a week when we worked in the area. Authentic and tasty cuisine served in generous portions, highly recommended!

The food was amazing! Heard that parking was hard and the restaurant small so just took out and ate in the car by amazing views. Definitely a must try!

Food here is amazing! My go to place for Dominican/Spanish food. One of my Fave dish is the pork ribs stew. That sauce is unreal and the ribs are so tender. Really good portions for the price. Not big into beans but the only place I would eat them at. Those reds beans are legit!

Found this gem when we visited during the Sleepy Hollow Street Fair and every restaurant had 1 hour of wait times including our original option in the corner Bridge View Tavern and I’m so glad it worked out that way. We were seated within 10 minutes and waited about 15 minutes for the food. We ordered the pork mofongo, seafood combo soup, steak with onions, and last but definitely the most exception was the fried chicken. While the other dishes were amazing, the fried chicken knocked the ball out the park. It’s hands down one of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had - crispy but not dry. Not to mention their portion sizes were huge! Two entree dishes were probably enough for 4 people as we were able to barely finish our food. We also ordered the yuca fries with fried cheese and the juices. Only suggestion would probably be less sugar in the juices, but otherwise one of the best Dominican restaurants I’ve been to.

They have parking which is a plus! When we walked in, at 1st glance didn't know they had a back room for more dining, so we were going to leave it I'm glad we stood because food was good. Mofongo was extremely good, chicharron de pollo needs work, oxtail was good. Definitely would recommend this spot.

They gave my large catering order a Christmas discount. I’m so happy to support this business! Another Sleepy Hallow gem
