How’s parking, is there valet parking?

No and parking is very expensive

The only restaurant where you ask for mofongo and it has no chicharron, what you pay for is a mango, the most disgusting fried fishmonger in the world

They have to improve if.

So much publicity and the food does not meet my expectations I ordered a T-Bone medium rare and they brought it to me well and the astonished pistons aside that they have to see the steamed vegetables and finally the presentation 🤔

Horrible customer service food was totally disgusting I spoke with the manager and he faked giving me a discount red beans taste like Tabasco Monfongo horrible don’t recommend

The place is very nice and cozy, good service and good taste in the food, but the only thing that must change is the dj who does not have lyrics to put music, he repeats the same a lot, the solo is reggaeton and the omega meringue

I was in La casa del Mofongo and there is a little mismatch in terms of music. I recommend paying due attention to it, except that it is not something to be alarmed about.

Can I take my girlfriend to dance here?

Yes!

Do you dance early Sunday?

It depends on what you mean early. But usually on Sundays at night there is music.

Excellent food good atmosphere good attention excellent place to feel at home🇩🇴❣️

Good place to be on a Friday night if you're looking for music and dancing. Service is sometimes not the best, but their drinks are made well. Depending on the night, it could be a bit cramped in there.

Music is too loud. Ordered salmon, didn’t taste good. Asked waiter politely to change it for something else. Which he did. But had the audacity to tell me they tasted the food I returned and claimed there was nothing wrong with my fish... speechless, this was beyond me.

I havent been here in years and we just came back. The food is excellent just as I remembered. I tried the pulp mofongo and I was blown away by its taste. They offer hookah, that's a plus. The music and ambience is very entertaining. Their prices are a bit pricey but it worth it plus its nyc. Definitely come and visit. We will be coming back more often.

Chicharrones were perfect (although containing too much fat in proportion to meat) but honestly disappointed with the mofongo itself. The texture lacked firmness and the flavor was somewhat missing the characteristic garlic scent to it. Fortunately you can request a garlic “agüita” which will stay in your breath for the next two days but adds a lot of flavor to the dish. A great thing is they have food & beverage HAPPY HOUR specials during weekdays. Great dominican atmosphere: the restaurant is divided between a bar area with loud music and a more family-friendly, traditional “restaurant” environment. As expected, Spanish is widely spoken so no need to know English.

So disappointed in this restaurant. I went to get a chicken. I was standing for more than 15 minutes waiting for the woman to take my order. They would just skip me and attempt people who came after me. Chicken overpriced and it wasn’t that good.

The only reason I gave them a five was for the food. Absolutely delicious. The service sucked! On the other hand, They know how to really make Mofongo. We did not wait a really long time for our food, but our waitress took a while to bring us the menu and after she served us our food she disappeared. We had to hunt her down for water and even then she forgot to bring us some water. I would understand if they were busy, but we were there before the lunch hour rush. Word of advice if your going for lunch make sure to specify a lunch portion. Otherwise, they will give you a dinner portion which is so big two can actually eat out of one plate.

The only thing good about this place was the food. Bad customer service, our waiter wasn’t friendly and didn’t pay any attention to our table to refill water or anything. She chose to only speak in Spanish and sadly I overheard her complaining to a coworker that she got the table that wanted to talk in English. Lastly she asks if we want to take our food to go...but didn’t pack all of our food. She only packed up my food and got rid of my fiancé plate with food on it. I won’t eat here again y definamente no lo recomendo para nada. There are other Dominican restaurants that are better and with better service to Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speakers.

Don't go on a Monday night unless you want your ears to bleed from the Karoake singing so loud that you have to point your order on the menu to the waiter who hates his job. We left with a migraine but great food at least.

One of my favorite Dominican restaurants. The fried red snapper is a must. The tosotones are always hot, and the atmosphere is very lively. Whether you’re hosting family, or watching the game with the fellas, it’s a great spot to fellowship

I only go here for the breakfast special which is called tres golpes and it’s delicious. However, this place lacks customer service skills and it’s not organized at times. There are times people skip the lines and go to the front of the line.

Our server was super cool. We ordered Sangria and didn't like it too much and she up and returned the whole bottle free of charge. The food didn't last too long and it tasted awesome just have a look a some of my pictures...Negatives are the bathroom is too far. The hookah area is too small and the bar shuts the music completely after 4am. I would be nice to at least keep listening to the music instead of the people noise. Also a fight broke out and security didn't take people fighting out side immediately!!!

The food was delicious. One thing I didn't like was that the greeter didn't walk us to our table. She just pointed upstairs and told us to go up. We were a party of 5 and I had made reservation. I really don't think this is a way to greet your customers. The food is very good but the service needs a lot if improvements.

I split the Dominican Paella with a friend tonight. Very hearty, yet not too heavy. I've been here before for the mofongo, and that's worth the trip.The food took a bit longer, but I didn't mind considering the overall fine quality of what I ate.

So I woke up the other day really wanting Dominican food. So I drove from Jersey to Washington Heights(pregnancy cravings), looked up a few places on Google and settled with this one. I ordered rice and peas, baked chicken and pinto beans. I'm giving 4 stars because my beans were not in the bag when I got home. Also they didn't have have the white sauce for the chicken that I love. However my food was very delicious 😋. Also they have a great space for outdoor seating if you want to stay. For those ordering to go, they practiced social distancing as we gave our orders.

Went there this past weekend I am not a cheap person by any mean but I think is a RIP-OFF when they charged you $30 for "mofongo con churrasco" (for pickup) are the platano's made from gold?. $18 for longanisa con tostones, 18 dollars? I dont want to put a price on what anyone is selling but platanos are 4 for $1 at the supermarket for you to try to be slick with your prices. Needless to say we had to throw away the mofongo when we got home it was poorly made (no garlic nothing I dont even know what that taste like it was bad) & the churrasco was stewed meat I thought churrasco meat was supposed to be grilled🤔. More often then not the service sucks. Im done with this place (used to be my spot) never again way over price for the food and/or service...

If I could I would give them zero starts. I recently went with my husband and kids, never again. We waited over 45 minutes for our food and to top that off our server Stephanie forgot one of our orders. We had to wait another 30 min for spaghetti with chicken. When we first asked about how much longer our food would take she said my husbands burger was the delay because it took time. His burger wasn't all that big or thick to be taking 45 minutes to cook. When asked about my sons order she said "you didn't order anything else". It was our first and last time in this place.
