I have been ordering food from here since I was younger! Not sure when they opened but way before their renovation! I know Ridgewood has a couple of Dominican resultants nearby & there's another location in Brooklyn but this is my favorite go to! It also was walking distance from when I use to live in Ridgewood. Their lunch special are now $8 or $9 which is still pretty good cause they also stack your plate with food! The never slack with giving plenty of food in your plates! I've always been a big fan of their pernil, rotisserie chicken, arroz con gandules(yellow rice with pigeon peas, beans, & chicharron de pollo sin jueso. I use to get their chicken soup but then it got a little too greasy for me. Even their vegetables are good lol. Their staff is always ready to help and serve and their restaurant is always clean. They're always changing the trays so thats how you know when food is fresh and not sitting out all day. Not sure for how long they've been letting customers pay with card but that has come in handy! They use to only accept cash years ago and there's an atm there but I know many people who don't like that extra atm charge! For the holidays they're always busy so if you don't want to cook you can always dine in or order out! I will always recommend this restaurant for anyone who is living in Ridgewood and need a fulfilling dish!

Local Spanish place. Rotisserie Chicken is always good. Rice and beans are good too. Ick up service is usually pretty quick. Usually order takeout. Ambiance is okay. Place has seating but usually we just pick up and go or order take out.

Food was delicious; a little on the saltier side. Ordered whole chicken with 2 sides and 1L coke along with few large main entrees (pernil, chicharron, and fried chicken) with more sides. Loved everything we ordered, line was confusing but it moves relatively fast. Would order from here again!

They have the best peril I've had, making it one of my comfort foods since being in NYC. I walked in with big eyes, but the folks working were really patient. When they couldn't hear me, they read the notes section on my phone. I left with a huge portion of tender pernil and yellow rice. I catch myself daydreaming about it sometimes, wondering if I should move to Ridgewood just to be closer to it.

Wasn't really sure what to order and how to order. I went with two different family combos off the menu. One chicken chicharron, it was okay... I misread and thought it was the pork chicharron. The other was a lamb stew which was pretty good. The lamb wasn't gamey. Both combos came with a substantial amount of rice. They were beyond generous when it came to rice. Service was quite excellent. They probably could tell we are obviously not from the neighborhood and first timers in their restaurant so they were quite helpful and patient with us when we were ordering. It was a very busy restaurant, it was hustling and bustling the whole time we were there. I definitely want to go back again and try something else.
