My family and I were visiting the neighborhood and we found Tina’s. The food is delicious!! The service and atmosphere were great. We were able to enjoy our gathering along with the food. We had chicharron, the breakfast special, fried cheese, chicken soup, coffee. We were really happy with the food

Party of 2 walk-in was sat quickly by the bar. Our server was very attentive to us the entire time. Sancocho and bread were served complimentary and it was DELICIOUS. I ordered the Shrimp Mofongo with the creamy garlic sauce; it was a bit on the drier side but nonetheless very flavorful. It was authentic Dominican Mofongo! My partner ordered the Beef Yaroa with the fries and it tasted similar to Lasagna, amazing. We both ordered the Morir Sonando and drank it in 2 seconds it was so good. Definitely visiting again. The food, hospitality and drinks were great.

I’m Mexican and I love Dominican food, this is hands down the best Dominican spot in the neighborhood!! I always come here to get a lunch special at the food bar. Today I decided to eat in and it didn’t disappoint!

The food was delicious. I had the red snapper and my wife the skirt steak. We loved it. I also had a glass Of Sangria, to me one of the best that I have ever had.

Food was hot and delicious. In an ideal world I would have liked a bit more separation between all the people coming in to pick up food vs dining in. I dined in with my family and had a great time, food was fresh.I liked the paintings on the wall. I would go back again.

The sancocho and the seafood soups were out of this world!! They are obviously homemade. My husband and I loved our romantic lunch experience. We both had sangria! We would like to thank the afternoon staff which provided top level service and amazing food and drinks!
