Perhaps theyāre short staffed. We visited early in the day during the weekend and the place (despite having rave reviews) was empty. The only woman we found to be taking orders there spoke minimal English, Not a problem⦠but please do not become frustrated with customers who are being very patient in trying to communicate with the staff because one cannot speak the language.
After several attempts to communicate (the waitress shouldāve just went to get another staff member in the beginning) another woman descended from the kitchen wearing a facial expression that indicated we were interrupting and ruining her day by trying to spend our money there and placing an order. How dare us have questions about the menu (much less ask about cost (with no menu available) or ask for a few napkins & other condiments).
If you happen to be a Yankee and are expecting to purchase one of NYCās favās⦠a āWashington Heightsā style caliber of Rotisserie chicken from this restaurant. Donāt even bother. Keep searching or find a recipe to prepare in your own kitchen.
After we finally made it past the ordering feaux pau⦠we found the Ziti to be tasty, The Rice was as expected, the Yucca was awesome, the leaves in the salad had begun to wilt (maybe even the day before, and the chicken wouldāve been tastier if you took it home and remixed it in a skillet or simply DIY from the beginning.
We greatly anticipated being able to enjoy our visit and return frequently, but it seems we will have to continue on our quest to find the Best Rotisserie the Atlanta area has to offer elsewhere. Trying to order in English was stressful.
Now we will venture to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy client told me about this restaurant. It is a new place. I walked in and it was very welcoming. The first thing to hit me was the wafting aroma of Dominican food....and my mouth began to water, then came the memories.
I looked around and the decor was simple and beautiful. It was not crowded when I got there....but something tells me that when people find out about this place, it will be. The gentleman host showed me what was readily available and also told me about the menu from which I could order. My hunger got the best of me, so I opted for what was already prepared.
I sat down after I told him what I wanted. When my food arrived, I contemplated it, looked around, and just took my time enjoying every bite. The flavors of the arroz moro and pollo guisado, the mixed vegetables WOW...and then there was the jugo de chinola...š I had enough to take home, and also brought a plate for my husband.
The arroz moro, or as some call it arroz con gandules, was exquisite. They tasted like the cook had gone out and picked the gandules, shelled them, and cooked them fresh, and the seasoning was delicate and very flavorful at the same time. Ahh!
A Dominican client from Alabama told me about it, and I told another Dominican client from South Carolina today. I will be spreading the word about this gem. Great spot!!! Excellent service! Kudos to El Bohio....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy girlfriend is a very specific eater. To the point that she will literally order food and, if it doesnāt look appetizing, still feel hungry even after eating it and immediately want something else. We found out about this restaurant by chance while eating at another Latinx restaurant which I believe was a Papiās downtown. Another patron at that restaurant was telling us how good Bohio food was and how we had to try it even while we were both eating at this other restaurant. My girlfriend decided to try it about 4 months ago and has been back at least 15 to 20 times since and Iāve been here at least 5-10. The best part is all the food is on the hot bar so the wait is usually next to nothing⦠From baked chicken to oxtails to pigs feet, pork chops, and stewed fish, the menu has been hittinā ever since we tried it⦠I really appreciate Miss Joyce (the owner) for bringing such good cuisine to the...
