I'll be honest, the food was alright. Maybe I just don't know Dominican food but my friend and I ordered the empanadas, yaroah, and mofongo with chicken. The empanadas were good. The chicken one had more flavor. The mofongo was not bad but it just didn't hit the spot. The drinks were alright and felt a little awkward. Tried the one juice and if I could guess it and liked it, I could get it for free. I thought it was pineapple or mango but it was orange... it tasted good like a creamsicle but I felt dumb cuz I thought it was a fruit I wouldn't know

Best Mofongo in town. No doubt. Latinos: Feeling homesick? Like a Mofongo could fix your day? Non-Latinos: Want to eat some really authentic food? You have found the place. It was a drive to us, but totally worth it. The food was excellent. I had the Yucafongo, and I can say, without a doubt, that is the best one I ever had. That's a lot to say, given I grew up in Puerto Rico. My husband had an empanada and it was pure deliciousness! The natural juices were good, tostones were perfectly fried.. no complaints on the food at all. Now... let's talk protein portions.. as that was a little disappointing. See attached pictures. Price - Not cheap by any means. Service - Despacito como la canción de Luis Fonsi. They don't have an alcohol license, so no alcoholic beverages in the menu. No mojitos. No piña colada premiadas.... But they're working on getting one.

Very disappointed with this place, lots of friends referred me to this place being that I am from Puerto Rico so everyone wanted me to give it a try, which by the way; the Mofongo comes from Puerto Rico, Dominicans make Mangu which is similar but boiled not fried)... so I went and I got to give it to them, the taste of the mofongo and the proteins where really good.Now... Never in my 40+ years I've paid $16 for a huge ball of mofongo and a bite of meat on side. This is just ridiculous. ANYWHERE that sales mofongo here on the states or in the island you should be able to buy a plate of mofongo with your choice of protein for around $20 or less, with the exception of the obvious Lobsters, filet mignon etc. They force you to buy 2 plates per person, one of mofongo and one for the protein, that's just greedy. You can see the photos and they have it even on the menu, the reasoning PER THE WAITER is to let you taste the protein of your liking when you order the mofongo and if you like it then you ask for the protein plate. I imagine they though that the crowd that was going to come in wouldn't know the difference, which I am sure many don't, but they will catch on and when they do, its going to be another business closed. Each and every Hispanic/Latino friend or person that I know that has gone have told me the same thing, almost word by word. 'It was good, but wont be going ever again unless they change the menu'.

2nd time, looking forward to some authentic food again.Greeted immediately upon entering restaurant smells very clean appears that way as well. The music is on point with a shuffle of different genres. Our sever is the same as last time super friendly guy and very attentive. Sipping on limonada de fresa. So good!We order a couple of empanadas because they were so tasty last time. This time I order pechuga de Lissette, looking forward to trying this new dish! You must come check them out, my partner is Dominican and raves about this place. Looks like we will becoming here more often.

Authentic Dominican and Caribbean dishes! As a young man growing up with a Dominican grandmother who would throw down on empanadas, this reminding me of my youth. The beef empanadas were spot on and so far my favorite in the greater Cincinnati area. I also tried the ox tail, beans and rice, cassava, fried plantains, and sweet plantains! I recommend all of it! The owner and his family were fantastic host, great services and super accommodating. We were there on a slow day, so the owner graced us with some live music! Such a great time out and appropriate for all ages. Looking forward to the next I make it out to try some more dishes. Oh, also, the house made strawberry lemonade, perfect!!!

I must say I left in awe. Never did I think I would find a location like this in Ohio. This place felt like I took a flight to DR and was amongst friends. The food was amazing drinks fabulous but the service was something I'd never forget. Lovely people with smiles across the face. Our server was on a singing show in Venezuela so let me tell you he has some pipes on him. I would return for the food but more for the service. Price was good considering that a lot of the food isn't local to Ohio. People think mofongo is cheap to make but only if the ingredients are local.

The food was great. You can tell they take pride in their food. They are a bit more expensive than your normal Dominican restaurants but it was worth it. I definitely recommend if you are in Cincinnati area

If you like mofongo, this is place to go. I had the oxtail mofongo and it was great. Service was also amazing along with the ambiance. Loved the music. Our waiter even played a song . Definitely will be back.
