    Second time there! The first time was 9 years ago after midnight from a party. The service was mediocre then with a very rude server. I decided to give them a second try, but this time was in the afternoon with family. I must say the food was great but the service was really exceptional! We were a big group of 13 people and the server was very polite and accommodating. I will definitely come back!

    If youre in the mood for something Caribbean, both in food and culture this is the place. A loud, but not too loud, exciting atmosphere smiling faces, and plenty of flavor in the air. The music isnt so loud that you have to shout over people but it is definitely apparent.The food is priced well, cooked with expertise. Reminds me of some of my grandmothers cooking, and takes that as a high compliment in full esteem. The drinks were also great, maybe too good.Bring your family, listen to the music, sip your drink, and eat. A good time.

    This is a cool place and the food is excellent. But the atmosphere is ruined by music that is simply too loud. If your happy to not have a conversation with the people youre eating with then this might be the place for you. It was a shame, because the food is good, the staff is awesome and the drinks are good. It was like having dinner in a night club.

    Excellent service! And beautiful girls serving 👌👉🥃

  • Review 5 (2024-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious mofongo and attentive service. I had a mini mofongo and it was sufficient but a regular portion is good for a burly appetite. Would definitely come back if in the area.

  • Review 6 (2023-08-13 - Rating: 4)

    Food is great! Service as well. Too busy on that day and food took some time, but overall pretty good. Especially the schrimp asopao. Loved it

  • Review 7 (2017-07-07 - Rating: 4)

    This was a great budget friendly restaurant!If you want to experience the culture, its the perfect spot for it. Walking around in the heights can build up an appetite, conveniently located right off the street of bustling vendors, you cant miss it! Food was awesome and plentiful, plantains are very filling and the portions are huge! Service is a little M.I.A but, the price makes up for it. Yes, your server speaks spanish and english!!If Hookah and lurking older men at the bar makes you nervous...leave by 7pm.Overall, I had a great meal..not too many vegan options so beware,stick to the sides part of the menu.

  • Review 8 (2024-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    The food was phenomenal! The beans were made so well. The mofongo is seasoned well, soft texture, and the chibo was tender! Chicharron de pollo had so much flavor and was super juicy. The service was great. Wish they would get a heater downstairs where the bathrooms are. Also wish the bathrooms werent all the way downstairs. Will be coming back anyway.

  • Review 9 (2024-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    I love this place. They never fail. Sometimes the servers mood isn’t the best but it’s not the worst and the drinks are phenomenal. ALWAYS!

  • Review 10 (2024-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Food was great, Good Vibe... Went here really late in the evening so everything was off a more expensive menu.. wish they had a better salad selection. However other food was delicious..If you like Hookah, they have that too on the bar side of the restaurant. I do not smoke so Hookah is not for me. However, ppl seems to really like that.Did I mention Music, so you can totally dance here, there is not an actual dance floor however ppl made the best of it..

  • Review 12 (2019-03-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere. Great service. Moderate wait times but worth it. I had the chicharon mofongo it was excellent. My husband had the seafood spaghetti in white sauce and it was delicious. It had crab, lobster, calamari, octopus, and shrimp. The pina colada was great to me because they didnt pour alot of alchohol in it. I definitely recommend it. The plus side is that they have a bar lounge as well so if u want to end the night with drinks and good music its a perfect place to go.

  • Review 13 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 4)

    This Dominican restaurant is a fantastic find! They offer a wide variety of mofongo dishes, perfect for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. You can choose between dry or broth-style mofongo, and they have a great selection of other Dominican specialties.The location is super convenient, with easy access by bus or subway. Plus, its perfect for a relaxed meal with friends - they have spacious tables and are accessible for people with disabilities. They even offer take-out options if youre on the go.Overall, highly recommend checking this place out!

    Loved the food ! It was very delicious and completely worth the price. Service was good as well. They were friendly, helpful, and brought the food out rather quickly. The bathroom was also quite clean and the bar is serves pretty cheap compared to other places. The place itself was beautiful and fun filled with its Dominican vibes.

    I recently visited this restaurant and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with bold flavors and fresh ingredients that truly captured the essence of Dominican cuisine. Every dish was flavorful, and the portions were good. The atmosphere was also fantastic — warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend it!

  • Review 19 (2021-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    I went during a not so busy time and the waitress was very nice. They have a lot of options and I explained that it was my first time here and if she could recommend anything that wasn’t too heavy as I wasn’t starving but definitely wanted to try. She suggested a small mofongo de camarón and it was amazing. She was very sweet and checked on me after my plate arrived para decirme buen provecho. She was very sweet and the service was fairly quick.

    Tasty Dominican Republic fare in the Little DR area uptown Manhattan

  • Review 21 (2019-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing!! Best Churrasco steak Ive ever had. Pernil was to die for. Mofongo wow. Cant wait to go back. Service wasnt the best. Music was a little loud. Felt like we were yelling. But everyone was superb

  • Review 22 (2020-01-14 - Rating: 4)

    I split the Dominican Paella with a friend tonight. Very hearty, yet not too heavy. Ive been here before for the mofongo, and thats worth the trip.The food took a bit longer, but I didnt mind considering the overall fine quality of what I ate.

  • Review 23 (2020-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    The only reason I gave them a five was for the food. Absolutely delicious. The service sucked! On the other hand, They know how to really make Mofongo. We did not wait a really long time for our food, but our waitress took a while to bring us the menu and after she served us our food she disappeared. We had to hunt her down for water and even then she forgot to bring us some water. I would understand if they were busy, but we were there before the lunch hour rush. Word of advice if your going for lunch make sure to specify a lunch portion. Otherwise, they will give you a dinner portion which is so big two can actually eat out of one plate.

    Great Spanish bar and restaurant in NYC. Nice vibe, good relaxing music. The drinks are good, nice and cold beers. Havent had any of the food cause I just ate but the smell of their food is good, I mean like WOW GOOD! Cant leave out the super sexy bartender, very polite, funny and helpful. I highly recommend this place to come have a drink and chill.

  • Review 26 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 4)

    The music was waaaaaaayy too loud. Come on. It was insane. The food was ok nothing special. It was a little overpriced if you ask me especially for Dominican rice and beans . They had alot items missing from the menu, and when you asked why, the waiters just had a dumb look on their faces and no explanation. Its not difficult to answer a question about a menu item. Probably wont be coming back

    Food is tasty, Dominican style 100% delicious. Prices are decent just a bit loud for my taste but normal for Dominican people. They like loud music and have no trouble communicating.

  • Review 37 (2024-02-07 - Rating: 4)

    Dominican restaurant in the middle of Washington Heights. My favorite dish is white rice, red beans and grilled chicken. Their churrasco it’s also really good. Depending on how busy the restaurant is, the service can be a bit slow. This is my go to restaurant when I’m in the heights.

  • Review 38 (2020-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great restaurant that with great food!! Came here during a late rainy night where almost all restaurants around the area were closed except for this one. Best place I could have gone. The food was great and at a really good price! Great drinks menu and the staff was really nice!!

    The Workers are very attentive and professional. The food is Great. We Were greeted and serviced by Ms Bemerly who was amazing. Another Lady named Johanny was very nice to us as well.

  • Review 40 (2016-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    Being Puerto Rican, mofongo is one of our staple plates. Dominicans adopted and I was told improved. I went to this place in the heart of the Dominican community to see or I should say taste by myself and boy, it really give us a run for our money. One of the best I tried even in PR.Their mofongo de mariscos is not relleno like in PR, but more like on top of it, but is plenty of Mariscos featuring some we dont even use in ours like mejillones mussels, and pieces of cangrejo crab.My veredict is: why you dont try both versions and make your decision. At the end of the day, you will be the only winner. If youre around atop by, you wont be disappointed.

    Great music, vibe, and hookah. They vary in hookah flavors. The dinner was great and reasonable price to be NY. Would recommend for anyone to come. *Only downfall is they lack on appetizer options; not many options.*

    I want to start off by saying one of the most flavorful foods I’ve eaten in a while. I came here a few times and the food hit every time. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. The prices are reasonable. Will definitely be added to my collection of favorite cuisines.

    I went to celebrate my birthday 🎂 🥳, it was an amazing time with my friends 💕

  • Review 48 (2021-12-19 - Rating: 4)

    My Fiancé is half Dominican and he swears by this place as the best Dominican food in New York. We go whenever we find ourselves in Washington Heights. Best to go with someone who knows their way around the menu and speaks Spanish. The staff is nice, but many are not proficient English speakers. Don’t expect traditional American style service as you’re in the heart of the City’s Dominican neighborhood.The food is hearty with rice, beans and plantains for sides. As typical with Dominican fare, the meats can be overcooked and dry, but also crispy, salty and satisfying.

  • Review 49 (2018-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    The food was very delicious. A very welcoming atmosphere. The customer service wasnt the best. When we arrived, we sit and we had to wait 15 minutes for someone to go to our table, but what really upsets us was that that happen with one waitress looking at us the entire 15 minutes without moving to even ask if we want something to drink, it wasnt until another waitress saw that we where waiting for more than 15 minutes, she spoke with the other waitress that was staring at us the whole time, than she came and ask if we want it to order something. I was looking at the other waitress the whole time and she didnt even approach us to ask for a drink, I believe that is a poorly customer service and that waitress should be trained in how to provide a customer service of excellence, specially when you are standing in a corner doing nothing. Besides that bad experience, the waitress that worked with us, she was great, very polite and we had a good rest of the night. I recommend you guys the restaurant.

    Ive come here with my wife a few times. Once to dine twice to take out and the service is quick timely professional and above all else the food is delicious. I love me a simple pollo rostizado con arroz (arroz con gandules and arroz moro). The chicken when they cook it add either oil or gravy and leave it very juicy (unsure) and delicious and honestly never had it like that before. My wife enjoys the food so Im comfortable giving this a solid 5. Also the flan they sell there also delicious!

  • Review 52 (2022-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    A bit run down due to lack of care for the restaurant area, evening gathering with hookah and no concern for others, food was okay. Beware of the waitresses they lie about tip amout if you have a few more people in your table than usual. 15% for party if 6 included they stay around looking for more. I will not be back!!

    This is my go to spot to go eat with my father. All the mofongos are so good and its a good, lively atmosphere. My dad always enjoys himself a cold beer. The only thing I wish they turned the music down some its way too loud which makes it hard to converse at times.

    OMG...Everything was Deliciouso and the service was wonderful. We ate like there was no tomorrow and had food to take home. The cafe con leche and dolce de leche were magnificently. I used to eat here years ago and was in NYC for the day and had a craving. So glad we ventured to the Bronx for the goodies they provide. The skirt steak Is to die for.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. The area is fun with lots of stuff being sold on the sidewalk. We got bread which was delicious. It was warm and buttery. We had an avocado salad as an appetizer. I had the half charcoal chicken which was juicy and delicious. Of course we had rice and bean. My friend had the monfongo which was very good. To end it we had the tres leche cake which was delicious.

    This place was so dope. My friends & I loved it when we visited this Summer. The service was quite good from the hostess to our lovely server but the Mofongo was the best part.

    Good service and great food. The atmosphere is always lovely and full of local residents. The mofongo are, of course, the specialty here and theyre delicious, but its never bad to venture off and try some of the daily specials as theyre equally tasty and more reasonably priced.

    Unlike a lot of other spots in the neighborhood you can actually get service at the bar in under 20 min even if you speak English. And the beer is super cheap. But the food from the menu is pretty expensive. Go with the food at the grill and you cant go wrong.

    One of the best mofongo in town, and great music. Couldnt find parking anywhere near by but it was worth the wait. Service was okay. Loved the ambient of the Dominican culture. Very good place to get a hint of variety of Caribbean culinary. Overall it was great, aside from getting parking. Defenitely will be back soon.

  • Review 81 (2021-05-18 - Rating: 4)

    I’ve come multiple times and they have great Dominican food. I give four stars because service truly depends on how busy they are, when slow it’s great but when busy they slack and you have to be on top of them. I would still recommend you try them just be aware. Enjoy! Pictured: we last ordered the Churrasco steak with rice and beans, Shrimp in red sauce with a small mofonguito, the fried fish and tostones and plantain as sides.

    Good place, they have a wide variety of Mofongos and the place is a good spot if youre into hookah.The drinks are delicious.The place is always busy but the waiting time is not longer than 10-15 minutes depending of your party.Expect a lot of Dominicans, singing bachata, dancing and laughing out loud, the vibe is great to unwind and have a good time with delicious food.

  • Review 83 (2022-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    The service was a bit slow, but the mofongo (I had the octopus) was the best Ive had across at least five different restaurants. I will probably visit again just for that.

    This is one of my favorite places to visit, but this time it wasnt so amazing, we went there for lunch and the pace wasnt crowded wich is fine for me, but I started to look around the restaurant and is getting a bit rundown, dont get me wrong the food is pretty good a little under sazon, but bnb it was fresh. Going back to the restaurant, the bathroom was nice and clean but the doors need some painting the restaurant chairs need some upgrade the ac vents some cleaning. I will be back to eat but the place needs some love.

    The food was great! I guess they knew I spoke Spanish. The waitress was welcoming as hell and treated me great (she was hella cute too) (also if any of yall workers peep this she was a tall brown skinned woman with black straight hair, we were the ones who couldnt give her the right word for straw, and kept calling it popote (its cause Im a Californian and afro-mexican). When yall see this tell her I said hi. I loved it there and it was the best experience I had in New York. I went on Karaoke night which was This past monday. Man mostly everyone could sing. I heard a couple Selena songs and they were great. I love this place and will definitely make it there when I come back.

    The food was amazing, from the appetizers, to the entrees. The drinks were really good too. We had a private room upstairs for our party so we were able to talk, eat and enjoy everyones company. The only slight barrier was that not many of the staff knew english and everything had to be translated by our spanish speaking friends. I would definitely recommend this place if you were in the area.

    Tried it for the first time last night 08/21/19 and I loved it. The flavor of the food was definitely there and the server was very polite, professional, and memorized our order. I had Mofongo con pollo frito and rice and beans, with a Morir Soñando.

    This place was delicious. Visited Puerto Rico a few years ago and was absolutely disappointed by their Mofongo. This place on the other hand did it justice and my heart is now content. Will definitely come back if I come back to NY. The staff was very friendly and the ambiance was great.

    My experience in casa Del monfongo is awesome. i love the variety of mofongos that are offered on the menu. they have every type of monfongo you can think of. my favorite is the shrimp monfongo and the pork monfongo. they play great background music and have a bar that serves amazing drinks. the service is pretty good. my waiter came right away and the food did not take a long time to come out. I have been here once and cant wait to try this restaurant again. the only cons to this place is parking but in Manhattan any parking near a restaurant is already tough to find. it gets very packed over the weekends but i love the environment and the place is very big. the dark setting is great for an romantic dinner.

    Omg why is this soooo good! 😊 😊 😊

  • Review 99 (2012-08-19 - Rating: 4)

    Dont know why everyone else seemed to have such a different experience than I did. I went to the bar to order take out and it took me a minute to get the servers attention but once I did I ordered and promptly got my food. Didnt notice any sort of discrimination and the service was good, I got my food within 10 minutes.As far as the food itself goes, this is my first time eating Dominican food and it is delicious. I got Monfongo con pollo frito. The chicken is amazing and the monfongo is very good too.

    If you are coming here for good service, please do yourself a favor and turn around. The food itself is worth the trip, and has always been worth the trip the several times Ive been here. The waiters and waitresses are all just really bad at their jobs.

    Loved this place!The atmosphere is great, the staff is excellent and the food is exceptional! Met a customer who mentioned that he eats here every time he visits NYC. El “morir soñando” was delicious. A must visit when in NYC and looking for mofongo!

  • Review 112 (2024-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Typical dominican restaurant featuring a lot of great options. The food is visually appealing and great portion sizes, however the food could use a little bit more seasoning, and a little bit more salt. Ordered multiple things and felt the same about the seasoning and salt. However, still worth a try!

    Great spot with some quality Latin food. Staff was friendly too. A little too pricy for me, but then again mama’s cooking is free.

    The best uptown food you could ever get plus right next to the lounge lucky seven so right after your done you go next door since right next to each other you can grab late at night food for amazing cost and tons of food. This place has hookah & serve alcohol and non-alcohol drinks.

    Delicious Dominican food in a hip casual spot with a full bar and beautiful carribean decor. A good place for taking selfies 😁. The steak rice and beans or caramofongo (Shrimp and mashed plantains in garlic sauce) are my favorites here but everything is good and the service is wonderful.

  • Review 122 (2016-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    This was my go to spot back when it first opened and I use to work in the area. (Dont ask me my age!) Good lunch special which is tasty and good portions. Their food has always been spot on. I go for Bistec Encebollado (steak with onions), with Moro de Guandules (rice with peas), and their Mofongos are good. Ladies love the Mofongo de Camaron (shrimp mofongo) *History Lesson: Mofongos are crushed fried plantains with garlic and spices and pork inside. I believe created in Puerto Rico, but is a very common dish available in any Dominican restaurant.The BAD: If its late night this place gets loud!!! I am accustomed to loudness, but I remember being here on a date on a Sunday evening and our table was shaking. My date was from a quiet town in Maine and she had no idea what the heck was going on and was overwhelmed by the atmosphere. I lied and told her or rather shouted to her this was a restaurant for people who were hard of hearing and thats why the music was 4 levels louder than it should be.Service can also be slow at times, as many people frequent this place, because of their tasty food and decent pricing although it has gone up in price a bit over the years.

    Looking for an amazing food place that will take your taste buds on a trip to the Dominican Republic? Look no further! This spot has everything you could ever want and more! From delicious crab mofongo that will make you weak in the knees to refreshing drinks that taste like they were made with fresh fruit - you wont be disappointed. The service could use a little work, but dont let that stop you from experiencing this incredible place!

  • Review 131 (2018-09-26 - Rating: 4)

    09/23/18 visited the restaurants, ordered the mix platter (Longaniza, Chuleta, Beef, pork belly and tostones) to star and I ordered the Mofongo de Bacalo and my friend ordered the Mofongo de pork Belly for main course. First the appetizer were delicious and a big portion. Monfongo de Bacalo and the Avocado Salad were really good. I will be back.
