We had The Dominican Restaurant cater lunch for our team and it was a huge hit. I wasn’t sure what to order, but their recommendations were perfect. The pernil, Yaroa, empanadas, and potato salad were all delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Great option for a business lunch or team celebration — we’ll definitely order again!

I tried last night for dinner. The vibe was very good and the food was even better! I got three empanadas and an order of stew chicken, rice, and salad. The food was hot to order and flavorful and came out pretty quickly. I will definitely be back!
