The food never disappoints but be prepared to wait if it's busy. Most recently, I had the chicharrón de pollo sin hueso and my friend had the pescado frito... we were both pleased. My favorite part of my meal were the beans. They tasted homemade!

If you are looking for authentic Dominican food in the Bronx, then Ajo y Oregano is your spot. The food was flavorful and delicious, the ambiance brought me back to the island and the service was top notch, the servers were on top of everything. The space is tiny and can feel crowded but it's totally worth it. I left full and thoroughly satisfied!

Made a quick stop in the Bronx and decided to eat here. It did not disappoint! The food was delicious! The entire experience was positive. When we arrived, everyone was welcoming and attentive to my dad who has a disability and is unable to walk without a walker. They accommodated us with me asking. The wait staff were kind and quick. The food service timing was just right. The presentation- el final! My favorite was the mofonguito appetizers. I only wish we had a place like this closer to home.

This is a restaurant that I've been coming here a lot and eaten a variety of their dishes. And I can express that this is somewhere you want to eat at while in Little Italy in the Bronx. My two favorite dishes are the Tostones Sliders because it is a take on the classic cheeseburger sliders but with a Dominican twist. You have the option to have it with tostones (green plantain) or maduro (sweet/yellow plantain) as your buns. And the Mofongo de Churrasco is a very filling dish with their sauce and your choice of meat, chicken, pork, shrimp, or cheese. The servers are very kind and welcoming to new and returning customers. Do keep in mind that this restaurant gets pretty loud with music blasting no matter what time it is and people having lively conversations. If the restaurant gets packed with a long wait period for the next available table, try sitting at the bar since they offer the same menu to order from. I recommend coming with a group of friends who love coming to Little Italy in the Bronx and trying some Dominican Food with some music blasting.

I'm always down for some good Latin food and I heard about this spot from a friend who raved about it so I figured why not check it out and see what it's all about, right? The food is super delicious and packed with flavor. And the Garlic sauce they use is so delicious to me. It's a great combination with the food. I had the grilled chicken, white rice and Tostones with some avocado and it all did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. The tostones were perfectly cooked, double fried so it has the perfect crispness. And the white rice.. You can't mess that up. The rice was perfect. I like to add a little garlic sauce to it. Avocado slices were soft and tasty especially with a little salt and lemon! The Mofongo was good but you'll need some sauce to add to it to flavor it up. The avocado salad was ok. We weren't too crazy about that. The service is always great, very nice, kind and accommodating. This is a Dominican restaurant so it's definitely lively with great vibes that reminds you of the islands and family. They play all types of Latin music at a comfortable level. Only gets loud for one song.. The 30 second birthday song when it's someone's birthday and the staff sings for them. Overall this is a great place to get some delicious Latin/Dominican food and have a great time while enjoying your meal. Now go up to Ajo y Oregano and you can thank me later.. have a great one y'all!

An authentic Dominican place with a very creative decor. The vibrant colors and design will remind you of the shacks in the Dominican countryside. The food is even served to you in these mini calderos for the traditional look. Apparently, this place is popular on social media and I can see why. The food is not bad either! Their menu is mostly made of traditional stuff - rice and beans, stewed meat, mofongo, etc. For a change of pace, I'd recommend their tostones sliders and mofonguitos. The sliders are little chimi burgers but with tostones as the bread - very tasty and juicy. And the mofonguitos are small cups of mofongo and the perfect appetizer for sharing. They serve alcohol as well. I'd recommend the passion fruit margarita, which appears to be their most popular drink. Another recommendation I'd make is to avoid going here on the weekends, as it can be a long wait.
