This place is not what it used to be. The food here used to be very good. Went there today with my wife and Daughter and upon sitting we got the menus and the prices were hidden with white tape, I found this odd but, nevertheless I didn't pay any attention so we when ahead and ordered our food. I had fried pieces of steak (overcooked and dry) with plantains (again overcooked and fried to much). My wife had the lunch special which was pretty good (stewed steak with onions and peppers, White rice and beans) and my daughter had a hamburger with fries (overcooked and dry as hell) I had two Heineken's and my wife had two Coors Light(fairly cold). Now, we're Dominicans who live in this neighborhood for about 15 years and with that being said, this food sucked big time. Our bill was $60.52 and I have no clue on what. I think the beer was at least $7 or $8 each, because the food was no way more then $30(for all three). I for one, do not like to ask "How much is that". So, I hope some of you who decide to eat to be wary of the prices here. Believe me, have lunch or dinner else where. I will never set foot in that...

I was not feeling so I decided to order in. I called to place a delivery order and an hour after ordering my food was still not here. I called the restaurant and a woman picked up and gave me attitude saying I had to wait because they were very busy. ( and yet I asked nicely ). 2 hours and 10 minutes later I call back and ask for an ETA. AND THIS PERSON DOES NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAIT. All she said was oh well we were busy but I guess I’ll see if your order left, she places me on hold and then comes back and says yeah I’ll send it now. IT IS NOT A PLACE ID RECOMMEND FOR DELIVERY OR SERVICE IN GENERAL

The right thing to do was warn a person that they have a high volume of delivery orders and kindly advise the wait time before taking any orders. The right thing to do was check on the order first thing and ensure it left. The right thing to do was say “hey I’m sorry you had to wait 2 hours but I’ll check on it right away”

I do not care how much your pay rate is at a job. It cost...
