I am loving this place- BEST spot to order from in the area when you want to eat some real food... The rotisserie chicken is DELICIOUS!! The beans are also up there!! The only reason that I did not give them four stars: the combo here is not worth it... other spots include a soda, a salad AND tostones/maduros. Chef Rosa only includes a soda and a very limited salad... The lettuce looks like they cut a lettuce head in four and threw it in there like that.

A real New York find. This is a beautiful, spotless steam table joint where everyone says "Good Morning" to you. I like the fact that I can have lunch at 10 am (I get up early). Everything is fresh and ready to go -- soft, moist yellow rice and pigeon peas, baked salmon, stews of goat, oxtail, and chicken. Even breakfast, but 19 am is too late for me. Right off the 1 train at 231 Street in Riverdale.

Super yummy food reminds me of home extremely talented chef. Plenty of variety so much to choose from. My personal favorite, malanga although everything is very tasty!!

The chicharrón was very good. The rice and beans as well. Their majarete is fabulous, bit expensive- $5 for a small.

There are at least 5 Dominican/Caribbean restaurants in a 5 block radius in this area and this is by far the best one, in every way. Chef Rose's meals taste just like the homemade food from our mothers and grandmothers back on the islands. -The meals are very fresh. Excellent quality. -The portions are also more generous than the other restaurants around us and the selection of dishes readily available daily is also a much better in both variety and taste. A big difference. -The service is also the best. -The prices are unmatched for the quality and the portions that you get. -Their seasoning is definitely more natural and they do not use enhancers. A big plus for us. (We asked how their food tasted so fresh and different) We used to get our Dominican meals from two of the other similar restaurants in the area but have now become loyal customers of Chef Rose because her food is just that good. Go early afternoon or early evening because the best goes fast. We recommend their pernil, chicharrones (by far the best), the fish (excellent value), oxtail, turkey (great value, amazing recipe for wings and drumsticks) and any style in which they cook their beef or chicken. Everything they make is delicious -- we get our family meals there once or twice a week and can attest to how consistent the quality is -- It's just like home made and very fresh. Love you, Chef Rose.

Food was incredible, the service was amazing, and the restaurant makes you feel comfortable and at home. I even ended up ordering from their catering menu for both Christmas eve and New Years Eve and you could tell they put love into everything I ordered to make sure my guests felt that in my home. Thank you so much to Chef Rose, Nick, and their team. Will be back for more!

I was happy to find such great service. When I walked in, I was greeted. All of the food had labels so I didn't have to ask. The restaurant looks so clean and the food is well organized. There aren't people sitting at a counter which is refreshing as we don't have to order the food between them. The servers were courteous and that was also great. I took two lunches home and it was really good.

I have been following Chef Rose since 2019 and I have always admired her hard work and determination. I'm so proud of her achievements in opening her new restaurant. She is such a humble person and hard working and loves her family dearly. Chef Rose is an admiration and her hard work makes you want to do more and achieve your goals. The restaurant is beautiful, bright and welcoming! The moment you walk in they greet you and ask what you want to eat. This is the kind of service you want when you go to a restaurant to sit in or take out. Congratulations Rose and Nick on your new endeavor
