Tauro — Restaurant in New York

While exploring this area, I stumbled upon a modest Dominican eatery. I ordered the pernil with rice and beans, accompanied by a side salad and a canned soda, totaling $20.

The pernil was flavorful and tender, a definite highlight. The rice and beans were standard fare, and the salad, though fresh, lacked a compelling dressing. I would have appreciated a more robust dressing option.

The establishment is small, with limited seating spilling onto the sidewalk, offering a casual dining experience. Notably, the place seems to operate until they sell out, so arriving early might be wise.

Overall, it’s a solid spot for a quick, authentic Dominican meal, though there’s room for improvement in the sides...

Dominican food is undefeated. They truly are gifted when it comes to making these empanadas. "Empanada Mama's" or any of those the big chain restaurants can't compare to how good these actually were...Because these empanadas felt like they were made by your mama's. They were so good I had a dream about them the next day. Highly recommend getting them. I have yet to have any other other food is simply because I was there to just get a quick snack. But I will definitely be going back and trying some of their traditional Dominican plates. Arroz...

Staying at a hotel 2 minutes walk away from this great little gem of a restaurant!

Had a tasty breakfast with eggs, home fries and toast along with their brewed coffee.

Fast and very pleasant service and oodles of character/atmosphere coupled with low prices. Good selection of American and Latin American items on the menu along with daily specials featuring the latter cuisine.

Highly recommended for those that like little diner-type...
