La Casa Del Mangu Dominican Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Horizon City

I love to find new places and new flavors and found this restaurant hidden in Horizon, but it’s a can’t miss. All my friends here, I highly recommend it. We had some trouble finding it because tjey don’t have their sign yet, and google maps had it next to yogoberry, it’s directly behind it (sign coming.). Talk about authentic Dominican food! The Chef came out, the owners wife, so you’re basically getting home made food. We showed up right before they opened but they brought us in anyway.

Lastly my daughter had the cubano sandwich which was a real surprise, everyone ended up...

I think overall it is lacking games or something to be able to have a distraction of time. As the food does take more than 30 minutes, I understand that it is not premade, and its cook at the instant of the time is ordered. However, this is what’s going to lack for a family to visit. It’s more for a hang out spot so people don’t lose their interest. I do want to add, food is very delicious. But will appreciate if there was more attention to people when they are done with their drinks. Again, we came with children and it was very frustrating having to figure out what to do with them as the appetizer took...
