★★★★☆ 4.0 Abbie Stonebraker · Jan 2026

Overall pretty good. Amazing passion fruit juice and good food. There’s a little counter with not much space to eat.

Very authentic Dominican food at a great price. The people here are super friendly. I had the sancocho with rice and a mofongo de pernil, both cooked the traditional way and full of flavor. Portions were generous, everything tasted homemade and was affordable (extra charge for credit card). Simple, honest Dominican food with no frills. Would come back.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. We ordered the rotisserie chicken and it was DRY and BURNT. It was impossible to eat. We call and ask for a replacement and we get told that we can send back the burnt pieces and only receive those pieces as a replacement instead of just replacing the entire chicken we purchased. They said it’s not a chicken from yesterday, but it surely was the first chicken they cooked this morning. They rather lose a customer than accept a mistake and eat the cost of a $6 chicken.

Un manjar para tu paladar!!! Come to El Jaya Restaurant and indulge your senses in this delicious food. This is the real Dominican flavor from the Jaya region of D.R. A region know for it’s culinary and musical contributions to the world. Do not miss the early mangu 3 golpes because after 8:30 am is all gone. Or my favorite -bacalo con yuca- enjoy.

Traveled from Oregon to try this place. Food was amazing and the staff were super nice. Can never go wrong when you receive service that makes you feel like a family member.
