If you’re looking for the absolute best food in all of New Jersey, this place is hands down unbeatable. Every dish is packed with flavor, and the seasoning is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted—it’s truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment you take your first bite, you can tell that the chefs put love and care into every single dish. And let me tell you, the mofongo here is on another level. The texture is perfect, the flavors are bold, and it’s clear that it’s made with real expertise. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. Every time I come here, I leave thinking about how amazing it was and planning my next visit. If you love food that hits all the right notes and leaves a lasting impression, this place is an absolute must.

Need your Dominican food fix? You just found it. This place rocks. The portion sizes are ginormous. I tried the perneil with yellow rice and whoa Nellie, was it good. The downside is parking, there isn't much. So be prepared to park on a side street, it is still worth the hassle.
