The flavors of the chicken mofongo transported me back to those Queens days, with its hearty blend of mashed fried green plantains, garlic, and pork cracklings, complemented perfectly by a rich red sauce that kept me savoring every bite. Generous portions and warm, attentive service added to the comforting atmosphere, making it a memorable experience that lingers long after the meal.

Mofongo has been a favorite of mine since my time in Queens, where I first enjoyed its delectable combination of mashed fried green plantains, garlic, and pork cracklings. Recently, I ordered chicken Mofongo along with tostones and flan from El Castillo de Juaga 2, and the generous portions and delicious flavors brought back wonderful memories of authentic Dominican cuisine.

The breakfasts are good value and the espresso is great. The lunches and dinners are comfort food at its best. There is one waitress that's slow and a little sulky, but the rest of the staff are warm and friendly and really hustle. Highly recommended!

This medium sized restaurant has a very "home cooked" feel to it. The workers are very friendly, bi-lingual (big help), and not to mention VERY PRETTY. The food is very well prepared, and bought to you almost right away. I highly recommend this place for a great meal at a great price.
