This small, unassuming eatery serves up a unique blend of Dominican and Mexican cuisine, which reflects the culinary backgrounds of its founders.

One of the standout dishes at this restaurant is their Birria Tacos, which are made with an authentic recipe from Huejutla de Reyes, Hidalgo. The tender and juicy steak inside is perfectly complemented by the rich and flavorful consommé, which has a nice balance of umami, fattiness, and tartness from the sauces. The portions are very generous, making it a filling meal for a reasonable price. Customers rave about the empanadas, both the chicken and the jerk chicken, which are full of flavor and juice.

For those looking for a hearty breakfast, the Huevos Rancheros meal is a filling and satisfying option. Customers also recommend the passion fruit smoothie, which is a refreshing and tasty drink to pair with your meal.

They have a variety of Mexican AND Dominican options, including nachos, enchiladas, and shrimp tacos. The enchilada meat is well-seasoned and moist, and the nachos are loaded with well-made components. The shrimp taco is awesome and the chorizo is pretty solid.

This restaurant is located near the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park, making it a convenient stop for both locals and tourists. Customers appreciate the quick service, with most orders being ready in less than 20 minutes. However, some customers note that the language barrier can be a challenge, as the staff may have trouble communicating in English.

Overall, this woman-owned business has become a beloved spot for locals who appreciate quality food at an affordable price. So come try it out and support this dream-turned-reality of two passionate immigrants.
