    I do not recommend it at all. It was the worst experience I've ever had in Zona Colonial, ever. We (a group of 6) arrived early, when the place was empty. We started ordering immediately but noticed some stress in the atmosphere but went slong with it. Then we noticed that they lacked personnel and the Manager himself told us that. And we went along with it, too. Just to play it easier, we even helped with our own servings. And we had to wait longer than usual because of the missing staff. And we went along with it. We ordered several dishes, several beers, drinks and even juice. We're listening to some music that the Manager was playing from YouTube. People started to come in, and the service got even worst. Regardless, we went along with the ongoing attitude from one of the waitresses, who never smiled and had any sympathy with towards us. At one point, we asked an additional serving of ice, and the Manager bursted with a real customer service lacking-I-don't-care-attitude, like "If I don't bring it it's because I'm busy!", instead of going along with a positive attitude towards a group like us that were behaving well and patiently. That fell like.a bomb in the group and an argument started, because we felt it inappropiate, and instead of doing his job, the Manager started yelling at us with such a bad attitude and big-ego-driven personality, that it was getting worst on blth ends. The same Manager indeed felt he was so right, that he closed the accoint and asked us to leave the place, which we did without any incident happening. We humbly, cleaned up the place and left it impecable to show him a lesson of humility and of customer service, that obviously, he didn't have at all. And I'm sure that neither anyone from the rest of the group will ever visit or recommend this place. The food was not good, the taco chips felt greasy and old, overall, no good-quality mexican food, at all. Check other reviews and you'lI realize more. I do not recommend it. It is and it was one-of-a-kind terrible and disgusting experience of mistreating customers never seen before.

    The best veggie tacos have finally been found hallelujah!! DEFINITELY come here if you’re looking delicious, vegetarian-friendly Mexican food. They even have a section aside on the menu for veggie plates which I really appreciate. I ordered the three cheese quesadilla and two hard veggie tacos. The quesadilla was tiny but the server had warned me so before it came out so there was no surprise. But don’t let the size fool you; it was the perfect appetizer, not too filling and absolutely scrumptious. The tacos..made my eyes tear up from happiness knowing my search for the best veggie taco in Santo Domingo has ended. What an amazing combo of flavors and textures wow. They have their own hot sauces that are soo yummy and spicy! I always judge a Mexican spot by the hot sauces they use. 11/10 for me in this department. Lastly, the margaritas. Fresh lime juice. Perfect ratio. Smooth. Tasty. After 3 i was feeling nice.com. I’m about to make this place my new favorite in town! Will definitely return to this cozy atmosphere and with friends!

    Do yourself a favor and don’t go. Some of the ingredients im pretty sure were spoiled. The tomotos were super acidic. The carne res was black and tasted like cardboard with salt. Actually I’m positive most of the food was old. When we got there one of the sauces on the table even had mold in it. Why me and my wife didn’t get up and leave right then and there is a mystery 😂. I guess we were super hungry. I wouldn’t even give the food to my dog.

    I went with around 14 people and we all received the same, the worst customer service you can get. The unfortunately thing is that only 1 person there can ruin your visit there and that person is the manager of the place. An old man, who doesn't have good manners AT ALL. He tells you in your face you are doing disorder just because you have a big group and you are just taking other unused chairs and tables so all of you can sit and enjoy together. We even told him that wasn't any way to treat us, however he seemed not to care a bit. The funny thing is that we decided to give the place a chance, even though previous ratings were stating the same reason why this has low rating, well my friends, this happened to us as well. Try to go to other place and do not make the same mistake we made, just because we believed it wouldn't happen to us.

    Went in for the second time due tocan offer, but was told it was until 7 pm. However, they did not put a time limit on their post. The waiter did come back to ask if we still wanted the offer, but we had already ordered something. Also they don't take credit cards. Only cash and back transfers.

    Our experience here was pretty good. I enjoyed their sangria and the chimichanga was delicious. The salsa on it tasted so fresh.

    Having had a lot of Mexican food I'm picky. Got the chimichanga with res machada. Never had that meat style. A bit dry. Could have tossed it is some sauce before assembly. The white sauce used was kinda sweet. I asked and the cook just said white cheese. I'm assuming ricotta. Unsual bit not bad. Great presentation for the dish. Biggest gripe is the sauce bottles. Clearly not been cleaned in a while and the metal on the bottle was rusted. The cook station has low light. Props to the chef for being able to cook like that. Also you have to go through the kitchen to go into the bathroom. Seems like a hygiene issue. At 450 pesos for the chimichanga it was fair value for the location in the colonial zone.

    Nice and cozy place where you can have a nice little gathering with a small group of friends and family. Good music at a nice level.

    A very nice restaurant. Food is very affordable (3 people spent DOP 1900 on food plus tips) and the portion is very nice as well. The lady is super nice and friendly. A place I would definitely visit again if possible.

    The food was very good, however the service was a bit bad and the margarita was very very sour needs more tequila and less lemon! Overall had a great time with my husband.

  • 2/5 ryan c. 1 year ago on Google
    Yikes! Most overpriced meal of the entire week in DR. My friend asked for a small chicken salad .. they claimed they could only make a large one despite having 2 sizes on the menu. Beer prices are a secret and the waitress was not pleased when we made her check a beer price (which was way too high as expected) my quesadilla Res Mechada was decent just not much food for the price. 2 stars because they are open late when you are in a pinch.

    The vege burrito was tasty, the service was good. Definitely not traditional Mexican style food, but also not far off. Good ingredients, a variety of vegetables in the tortilla. No option for beans and rice on the side.

    Quaint, warm and welcoming, wonderful service, GREAT food & beverages. I found the food portions more than satisfying... couldn’t finish. It is off the chaotic tourist path and wonderful to visit. Get away from the tourist traps and enjoy! Cocktails and food made fresh!

👍👍 The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.
