Rave Reviews
"Food is delicious and service was fast. Items were not labeled by who ordered them, which would have been nice, but they were packaged in a way that I could tell easily what the item was per bag. Mocha Latte was the highlight of the order, and was fresh and cold and perfectly made. Almond Croissant was flaky and perfectly cooked. Ham and Croissant with Ham and American Cheese was good. Muffins are small and dense; they had a great taste, but I preferred the croissant. I would order from here again."
"I will NEVERRRR get hashbrowns from any other place than this one right here. First off it's been a while since I've ordered something off DD and had something not messed up, wrong or just plain not cooked correctly. This place is my first time trying and when I say everything was made EXACTLY how it should 10/10! Every hashbrownis perfectly cooked, not soggy, raw, burnt but crispy and soft and the same time. Scrambled Eggs with Home Fries amazing! Ham and Croissant with Ham and American Cheese is to die for and melts in your mouth. Then to top it off I decided to try the Cafe La Grekka (Bombon) Latte not really knowing what it was but wanted a coffee... it's creamy, light, not too sweet and amazing coffee taste. I wanted to order again and I'm not even done eating yet! 10/10 recommend"

"The Tripleta de Mangu / Mashed Plantains Tripleta was great .The freshness of everything was appreciated. Mangu had a good consistency , not to hard but not to smooth. Good portion and it can serve about 2 people ! I would definitely order again ."
"Pollo al Horno / Roasted Oven Baked Chicken and Pernil / Roasted Pork were extrememly dry. Tasted like it was made this morning and sat under heat lamp all day. Rice and beans were extrememly cold. The Tostones / Fried Plantains were fresh and tasted ok and the Morir Soñando was probably the best item there. Overall for the proce of the food the portions are fair but the quality was honestly terrible. Neither the chicken or pork had any taste but was so try my jaw hurt after chewing a while."

"I had the two protein bowl and it was fresh, delicious and an ample portion. I had to take some home from work but even warmed up it was great. Would definitely order again."
"The food is pretty good here, though I doubt I'd order when there aren't DoorDash deals. I've tried both the chicken breast and regular chicken, and I don't recommend spending the extra for white meat. It was overcooked and tough, while the regular chicken is much better. The bowls are good and filling, veggies are mostly cabbage though. The gyoza taste good but came poorly packaged and soggy. Noodles are tasty but super salty. Overall not a bad option."
