Mangú

Another traditional Dominican dish is mangú, which is simply mashed green plantains. The preparation is just as basic: boil or stew the plantains in salted water, and then mash them with a bit of oil or butter, and a trickle of water if necessary, creating a smooth purée with no lumps. Mangú is usually topped with red onion sautéed in oil and vinegar.
Mofongo

Dominican cuisine was gifted a truly delightful legacy by its African roots: mofongo. This traditional delicacy is made by mashing fried plantain, garlic and pork rind in a mortar, forming a dough that is then shaped into small balls, like ice cream, and served in a bowl. This dish is sometimes paired with shrimp or a piece of avocado, or dipped in meat broth right before eating.
The Dominican flag

The king of all Dominican recipes, the most famous and traditional dish, is la bandera dominicana (the Dominican flag). Three basic ingredients—white rice, red beans and stewed meat (chicken or beef)—serve as the foundation, to which all types of “accessories” are added, such as avocado, tostones (flattened fried plantain), green salad with tomato, or cooked eggplant stew, to name a few.
Sancocho

Sancocho, one of the nation’s most typical dishes, is served at parties and special occasions such as New Year’s. This thick stew is made with several ingredients: meat, vegetables, tubers and condiments. It is always served with white rice and sliced avocado, but like any traditional dish, there are different versions.

What Clients Say

"I don’t know what the fuss is about, food is good. They are fast, prices are reasonable given that it’s midtown. If you’re going broke just try and work harder, don’t take out your frustrations on a small restaurant. Lol, Best Dominican Lunch we’ve ever had. Not just in Hazleton. Anywhere!!! Hot, fast, delicious."

Yelp Review

"Very good food and large portions. a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it for what you get. close to times square and in a pretty good part of town. overall very good, One of my most favorite Dominican restaurants in NYC. Great food. Much better than Cafe China. But for people who, when talking about Dominican food, enjoy orange chicken, general tsao’s chicken or Kung Pao chicken this will hardly be your place."
