Castillo de Yaque

Ordered on a Saturday around 9. Delivery was quick. The Pollo Guisado was great the Pernil was a bit dry. As well as the arroz con gandules, still both good flavor (this could be due to me ordering late as it looks like their food sits out all day; it’s probably better during lunch but no excuse nonetheless) they were out of oxtails by this time else I would’ve ordered that as well. The plantains were good. Overall a reliable spot for Dominican food.

Great spot to get a quick lunch. I had pernil with rice and beans, only $11 and tasted great!

This place came highly recommended by one of the locals ( my coworker) so we stoped by lunch, and they didn’t disappoint. The staff were both very welcoming and eager to feed us as soon as we walked through the door. The rice was a bit overcooked, but the flavor was 100% Latin. The mondongo was excellent, as was the pernil, plátanos and chicharrón. They have a steam table full of goodies for you to choose from. The price for 7 lunches was just over $100.00 and worth every penny.

I’m not Dominican, but I know good Latino food (my wife is from Puerto Rico). And this place serves terrific food. Hot and fresh and perfectly seasoned. Plus I have had Popeye’s prepared, dry Pastelles, and this is not that. It is perfect. Very cramped restaurant, but clean. If you find a parking spot close, consider it a miracle. Expect a line, but quick service.

You can’t go wrong with their chicken, rice, beans, and plátanos. All were flavorful and delicious! We ordered a few other items that seemed to lack flavor or tasted dry / over cooked. I cut the restaurant some slack given we ordered to go and traveled far with the food.
