Quick and attentive bar service. The drinks are mixed well and the empanadas I had were excellent. Wish they would have given me some chimmichuri sauce instead of this kno off Raising Canes stuff but the empanadas were crispy, light and delicious.

You know it's a good day when the only constructive comment I have is the music is too loud ( that might be a personal issue, lol). The atmosphere is very authentic from my experience in the DR over the years, bachata music, good vibes and festive people.The service was really good, the young lady that was our server did an awesome job taking care of us. I think here English is limited but we made it work.The food was great! I am always worried that the food will be over cooked but my pork was prepared to perfection and was juicy and flavorful. This was a great experience, you should definitely give it a try.

First of all, if you like Dominican food, you need to run here. If you've never tried it, you need to come try it out. Service is top notch, and the food is amazing. They also have music during the weekends. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. I've had the empanadas, carne frita, arroz con habichuelas, mofongo, frituras, and they are all great. My very own favorite is the churrasco which is a skirt steak with tostones. You don't want to miss out. I'm hungry for the churrasco and some empanadas as I write this. Until next time.

Since I just moved into a nearby office building, I thought I would give this restaurant a try.The menu does have English translations for most of the items, which was a good thing since my server did not speak English. She did, however, grab a friend that was in the restaurant to come over and answer my questions.There were only three other people in the restaurant and they seemed like regulars.I ordered the grilled chicken breast which came with rice, beans & salad. It was delicious, and came with two chicken breasts, so I had leftovers to take home.The ambience was interesting ... I did enjoy watching what looked like a Dominican soap opera on the tv while listening to what I assume was Dominican music.I will be back with co-workers next time.

Be careful! We were 4 people and wanted to split the bill.They split the $204.00 tab and gave us a remote pay terminal showing $130.00, and tip options 3% 5%and 7%.I thought that wasn't enough tip, so I pressed the custom tip field and gave him $20. He failed to tell me the amount I typed on included the tab AND a 20% gratuity already, making this a $40 tip on a $100 bill. Ridiculous! He collected $ 80 tip total from us from on a $ 200 bill. Food was good. Meat was overcooked and dry, so were the plantains

I stopped in here Sunday evening for the first time. The restaurant is very pretty and clean. I went to the bathroom and they were out of paper towels. My son and i ordered several things on the menu and the food came pretty quickly. It was kind of hard to tell what some of the Items were even from the descriptions. It felt like the menu was geared towards people familiar with this kind of food already. I feel like they might be more successful drawing in more people if it was easier to understand- clearer descriptions of the menu items and labels next to the photos so you can tell what is what. There were only 2 parties in the restaurant and so we were the third. I saw two servers but we still didn't receive very good service. I had to go ask for to go containers because we weren't being paid attention to or checked on. I wasn't super bothered by it, but it was a little annoying. It would be different if they were actually busy.I was excited to find a few dominican places on Yelp. I am new to it- my boyfriend is Dominican and prefers this kind of food. I've had his and his families cooking and have been to several popups from Picadera here locally. From the stuff that I've had, i was not super impressed. The jugo de chinola (passion fruit juice) was good but too sweet. My son ordered the boneless chicken but was brought the bone in chicken. It was dry, over cooked and un seasoned. If you want good dominican fried chicken in the dfw area- Picadera is your spot.I ordered the sliders, rice and beans and tostones. The sliders were decent. The rice and beans didn't do anything for me and i didn't have the tostones yet. The dipping sauce they served everything with was ok- it needed some brightness. Some garlic and/or citrus to make it pop. The empanadas were decent- cant really go wrong with fried dough with filling. I got the cheese one and a beef one. Cheese was definitely better.The food was fine, but i wont be back. Also- the name if this place is off putting to me.

Delish. I am so glad we found this place. Located on the upper level of the plaza, there's plenty of parking as it's in the corner. The staff are very welcoming and helpful in choosing what to order as our first time. We tried the chicken empanadas (no cheese inside - I would pass on these) and kibbeh (delicious) to start. For entrees I went with the mar y tierra entree with tostones. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, the tostones were addicting and plentiful, and the vinaigrette on the salad was so light and garlicky. Loved it. My husband enjoyed his goat entree and ate every last bite. We look forward to coming back and trying the snapper and sliders!

Authentic and Delicious. Group of friends and I are in town for work and stumbled on this spot and were NOT disappointed. The service was friendly and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the fried pork chops and any of their empanadas!
