Excellent food and service. I randomly visited the location at 168 Vreeland Ave. I was very impressed by the warm welcome that I received from the owner and the awesome authentic Dominican food that I received from the cook. I highly recommend this establishment for a quick to-go meal or a dine-in experience.

The food was decent. Didn’t really get what I wanted because they had limited amount of certain meats. Also the young kid on the truck doesn’t know what salt or pepper is. Lmao. I asked him a few times in English and Spanish and he still didn’t know. I also attached the recipe for the review, for you guys can see the pricing for what I got.
