| - Update 2/2018- Quite bummed to find this place is currently padlocked with a notice to not trespass by Caburras County Sheriff. A contact number for the Landlord is on the notice. Windows are covered but when you peek in from glass door it looks cluttered and disorganized. Such great people that ran this little place and food was so good. Hope they are okay.

Decided to take the scenic back roads from Mint Hill to this place. I am not familiar with this area at all but Pilón is worth the drive to this side of town.
You might miss it if you are not paying attention. In the lot next to Dollar General.
Upon entering, you get the Dominican vibe- delicious flirtatious aromas of rotisserie chicken, rice, and beans, a pop of Caribbean colors, wood benches and tables, a large flat screen playing latin videos, and blown up sized photos of mouth watering Dominican dishes.
A cozy mom and pop joint that can accommodate small to large groups. A menu that is extensive enough to serve favorite well known dishes that are hard to find like Mofongo. Prices that make your wallet sing its gratitude. Owners are engaging and eager to serve their customers.
Get in line and place your order to dine-in or to go. Only two people handling the serving and cooking so expect to wait just a little bit to be served.
We had the yellow rice, red beans, rotisserie chicken, beef pastelitos, and sweet plantains. A pepsi fountain drink and bottle of a Dominican cream soda. Everything was delicious. Took a large order home for late dinner.
My kids will be begging to go here every weekend now...and despite being keto, I will cave in every time. There goes my 2018 summer body goals.
A great new addition to NC's growing latin restaurant scene.
