“Amazing little food stand that specializes in savory, street foods from the Dominican Republic. I gave atmosphere 3 stars because it is a food stand, and parking or inclimate weather can be uncomfortable sometimes. They do take their time in prepping your food fresh though. Be ready to wait in your car. So far I have tried their pork chimi and it really hits home for me. These sandos are the size of new borns. I can eat half now and save the rest for dinner. The price is nice too! Their empanadas are fresh, flaky and flavorful. No dry meat, no greasy drips. Love it! I always wash down my meal with passion fruit juice (chinola) or tamarind. Way better than all the other spots in Allison Hill, which sadly have gone down hill due to scaling, inflation, or lack of staff due to the current political climate. If you don't feel like coming down to the hill for a food stand is worth it, go get some inexpensive groceries across the street at Derry Supermarket. I get cheap tropical produce there.”

“The seasoning , the flavor , the service , the friendliness, very clean and very good prices . I recommend this place to any one , we wish we can cave many places in PA”

“100000/10 I could eat this every day they were so nice, the food is top tier, we got cold and they let us stand beside the stand where the wind wouldn't hit us, literally the best customer service experience i've ever had in my life.
