I was in the Tempe area visiting friends. We had been to several restaurants that were decent, but nothing special. i was sort of tired of "New Americana" (this style restaurant seems to be in abundance in this area). My boyfriend and i wanted something different and good so we turned to Yelp for some advice.
As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be good. There were maybe 5 tables and the atmosphere was super laid back. There are only a few different meals on the menu, but you can get each dish with a variety of meat (or order it vegetarian).
Looking at the decor, I felt like I was in my grandmother's home in the Dominican Republic. The staff is really nice and the food was so fresh. Our meals came with plantains and I could immediately smell the sweetness of the plantains coming from the kitchen.
If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely stop by again!
