The mofongo was a bit too dried for my tastes and the chicharron didn't have much flavor to add to it. It taste resemblance is that of tostones. If you like that, then mofongo is for you.

The salad is a simple salad you find in inexpensive Latin American restaurants - iceberg lettuce, onions, tomatoes.

The churrasco was cut very thin. While flavorful, its thinness proved to be a negative.

The beef empanadas were interesting - the dough was made out of yuca, not your typical corn dough or flour dough empanadas. But it didn't quite pack a flavorful punch. A lime wedge helped though, but what really needed help the most was the filling.

The pollo al vino was mediocre. It was flavorful and definitely edible, but it was soaked in sauce that I felt like it was more of a cafeteria food than anything else. It looked like it too.

The waitress didn't provide a smile, but she provided good service, was patient, informative and helpful in making decisions and suggestions.

Overall, very average. However, it's nice to say that there's a Dominican restaurant in Miami. This seems to be a popular one, based on the "wall of fame" that includes pictures of Miss Florida, the mayor, and even a City of Miami's dedication of a day in a year to the restaurant. Quite odd to see a restaurant get a day dedicated.

Prices were affordable, the ambience was pretty nice with all the polished wood tables and chairs.

When you walk in this place you feel the Dominican vibe hit you.  It feels like you are in the country itself - they not only offer authentic Dominican food, but also import their sodas and beer.  Add some Dominican music, and the atmosphere is just as authentic. Overall the food is average, however. It satisfied my craving for Dominican food, but it did not blow me away.
