Group of 10 went early for dinner on a Sat. Great little restaurant tucked back in a shopping plaza. Mostly Italian pasta dishes on their menu. 2 people ordered chicken francheis, 2 ordered Chicken Parmesan. Eggplant parmasean and I Decided to order their SPECIAL a Ribeye Steak for $22. The dinners were served with a house salad which was really good. Their garlic rolls were excellent. Everyone was completely happy with their italian meals. Although my medium rare steak came out well done. When she sat it in front of me, i knew that was the case because it was a very thin steak. So I cut into it just to see the degree of doneness & Sent it back. Just re-ordered chicken parmesan for dinner. Knowing It is almost impossible for a busy kitchen to cook a very thin steak medium rare. I didn't want a super thin steak anyway. All the food was really good, at great value. We will return!

Price : 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 My husband and I are of south asian descent and this is our first time trying dominican cuisine. We ordered limon chicken with yellow rice and fried plantains and a grilled chicken cesar salad. Food was excellent. Very tasty. Felt like my mom's home cooked food with love . I am definitely going back to try different dishes next time.

This spot is always busy with its local patrons. The food is always consistent with flavor and quality, it's hearty, inexpensive, it's a place that hits the spot when looking for good Latin cuisine. I come here frequently throughout the week for their grilled chicken salad. The vibe is low key family style and all the women who work here treat you with kindness and family like courtesy. Dominican mangu is also a favorite. Not the sancocho though. IYKYK... only certain people know how to make that lol.

While this place doesn't have the greatest curb appeal, the food, the service and the prices are all 5 stars! Food was seasoned to perfection and properly cooked, the fresh squeezed lemonade very tasty with just the right amount of sugar. The empanadas were large enough that a couple of them could be an entree on their own. Everything was reasonably price and delicious . Service was prompt and courteous.

As my uncle said when I sent him a picture of my roast pork dish, it's not much to look at. But DAMN was it good. And a huge portion. I couldn't even finish of the pork, rice, and beans and was able to have the rest as a second meal later that day. Staff was friendly and I decided to get a cortadito on the way out the door. Super cheap for the quantity of food you get!

called at 11am for 17 lunch specials for my staff and they were able to accommodate. They were so nice! Lunch specials are really affordable. They include rice beans and plantations. The chicken was HUGE and tasted delicious. The pork and steak were okay.. The rice had a lot of flavor and the beans were thick and tasty! There was at least 2 cups of rice in my to go box. There was a ton of food, far too much for me but I'm grateful for the portion and extra lunch tomorrow. I was really surprised that they were able to accommodate us and deliver all 17 meals within the hour. I would recommend trying this place for some authentic Cuban cuisine

Since venturing out to restaurants I decided to try more small mom and pop's spots and small businesses. I had Salt & Pepper Chef in my bookmarks for some time so why not? We were the only guests there all throughout (I liked that) Tables were very spaced out. I would say they are running at 40% capacity. The menu is well varied. They have a lot of Latin staples, such as Mofongo, Lomo Saltado, Mangu, and even some Italian dishes, Chicken Piccata and others. The wait staff was wearing mask and she actually stood 6 feet away from our table when talking our order. She was very helpful as well. We ordered queso frito (I haven't seen this in restaurants a lot) it was delicious. I also ordered a glass of their house Chianti, they serve Italian wine. It was actually quite good. They don't have a wine list by any means, just house varietals. I ordered salmon as recommended by our server, it came with choice of three sides. I got tostones, moro de guandules and salad. Everything was good, the fish was perfectly cooked but it lacked seasoning flavor, I like well seasoned food. I just wish it had some sort of seasoning to it, but with a squirt of lime juice and salt it was perfectly fine. My husband got Mofongo with pork chicharron, he liked it a lot. One thing I didn't care for, but I do get why they do it, is the use of plastic plates and cutlery. It feels a little food court rather than a sit down establishment. That's just me being picky though. The also have, and this is a plus for me, a Pokestop (LOL) yeah, I still play PokémonGo so I was able to eat and play at the same tome. I thought it worth to mention, there are a lot of us (nerds) out there. Overall a nice place. I will certainly come back!
