Carbon y Leña

I've eaten from here a handful of times and it gets better and better each time I do. I had to write this review because their red snapper is AMAZING. I am salivating just thinking about it. Perfectly seasoned and well flavored. I'm personally particular with rice and peas, but can definitely vouch theirs is really good. Seriously delicious Dominican food. Highly suggested for those wanting to try solid Dominican food in the area.

Carbón & Leña is a great find in Hyattsville. My friend and I love Dominican cuisine and this hit the spot. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the o side is nice. It is tiny though, with just a few tables and some counter seating. By 1:00 pm on a Saturday, it was full. Service is friendly.I got the stewed chicken platter with rice and beans and a side of tostones. My friend got the stewed ribs with rice and beans and a side of platanos amarillos. We shared the pastelitos de queso and I ordered jugo de maracuyá. We loved everything and had leftovers. The chicken was delicious but the ribs are the way to go. They were so tender and flavorful. Tostones and pastelitos were perfect. And I always love rice and beans. I'd return here anytime and highly recommend checking it out.

Friendly service, fresh, authentic food. Generous portions. I will return soon to validate this review and take pictures; I was unable this time. The mofongo was very good, filled with pork bits. Delicious! The fried pork was perfection. The owner assisted us; she was by herself and gave us a meat sauce for the mofongo. It was very, very good. If you are looking for Caribbean food and are not afraid of carbs and extra calories, you will like the place.

Best Dominican Food in the DMV!!! This restaurant is one of my favorites, I've been going there for 2 years and counting . Never disappointed me !! Great Service!! Amazing Authentic Dominican Food!!

First, the food is amazing, we ate Sancocho ( heavy or créame Dominican style soup), and of course Dominican beer " Presidente" , they also have plenty parking . We had the opportunity to meet the owners " very friendly " ... see you soon ... and the food price is very good too.

This spot is truly a hidden gem and I love exploring these types of places. I drive up and down route one and never noticed it. Then again, it's quite easy to miss if you're not looking. It's directly across from Shagga (an Ethiopian restaurant). If you're driving on route one towards the DC direction, it comes up on your left! They've been open about 7 months now and the folks here are very friendly and easy to talk to. I came here yesterday with a fellow foodie Yelper and we both enjoyed our meals and our experience. I like that the portions are generous - I had leftovers for lunch today. I never had Dominican food before but I love it. It's very similar to food I grew up on back home in Guyana. The flavor is very authentic. Like seriously, is there someone's grandma cooking this food?! It has a nice, cozy ambience. Not a place to come with a group of 20! There is a small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant so you don't have to worry about parking.They offer local sodas as well as coke products. I tried the merengue and enjoyed it. Reminded me of a Jamaican kola champagne. They have some beers as well.We ordered the chicken empanadas and they were delicious. For my meal, I got the pollo guisado with rice and sweet plantains. Everything was very tasty. I can't wait to come back here! I highly recommend this local business in the College Park/Riverdale area.

Hidden gem, food was made with love. I had the pollo guisado rice and beans & 2 pastelitos & a passion fruit juice. Everything was delicious. I will be coming back. The only reason why I'm not giving a 5 star is because my chicken was more bone then meat but it was late in the day so I probably had the last batch.

Drove there and they were NOT OPENED!! Pissed Off because we drove over an hour!! This is a Terrible First Impression, Nothing Stating they were Closed

This place was terrible! the server was great however the lady behind the desk was rude. She got defensive when I told her I did not like the dish & asked me if I knew what it was supposed to even taste like. I took one bite with a piece of shrimp, and she still charged me $15.. For ONE piece of shrimp. Everything else was untouched. I work in the food industry myself and that is not right! I paid it anyways, but will surely and gladly never come here again!!!! 0 stars!

I was full on one plate felt like I just came home work and I married the most beautiful and kind person so she prepared this. All I can say is that it was delicious and I would eat every meal here for the rest of my life.I left out when I returned the table was set and Tumeric juice was also served
