A bit tucked away behind some stores, this spot on Route 29 North is a tasty one. Specializing in Dominican, Hondurian, and Salvadorian food,
they make a good meal for the hungry traveler. The prices are really reasonable as well.
Start off your meal with the chicken-filled corn tamals, which are wrapped in plantain leaves and are really, really hot inside. After your tongue stops burning from the first bite, try another and savor the tender meat and mushy corn. Or, start off with some Salvadorian meat pies, which are also really hot but delicious. They are actually sort of like fried pouches of ground beef.
Hungry for a big meal? Try the Pica Pollo, which is a "Dominican style" fried chicken, served with plantains and coleslaw. Be prepared because this is about half a chicken fried for your enjoyment. And enjoy it you will. I generally dislike white meat because it can come out really dry if not done correctly. Well, these guys know how to do breast meat because it was very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But the meat was also really rich and tasty. Perhaps some special seasoning makes this "Dominican style"?
If you feel like something smaller but just as good, try the Fajitas Tropicales. You get your choice of meat. This is mixed with onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and melty mozzarella and served on a tortilla. It's so soft and tasty that you'll wish you had ordered more than one.
But wait, there's more. Try the Tipico Salvadoreno, which is a grilled sirloin served with rice, beans, cheese, chorizo, and avocado. This is one tasty dish. Mix the meat with the other items provided and you get a good blend of the flavors all together.
For dessert try the deliciously soaked Tres Leches or the caramel flan. But you may be too full by then.
