This is a typical Dominican breakfast
Almost every Saturday my buddy and I meet here to eat in the morning. Longaniza tipica Dominicana – Fried Dominican style sausage.
Huevos frito – Fried eggs.
Queso frito – Fried white cheese sliced.
Café con leche – Coffee with milk.
Pan con mantequilla – Bread with butter. This is a Spanish roll
cut in half and cooked on a sandwich toaster.
We pass on the Mangu – Cooked, pureed plantains are topped with sauteed red onions. I find this too much to have a one time. Now this is not true of everyone since they have not started the day right without it.

Great looking place.
When La Casa Del Mofongo open up the lines were in the street. Food was nice but the staff needs to be trained how to service the client. Went there for breakfast and all the waiters took there time in coming to the table. If you are taking food out the service is OK.

Trying a new dish.
Have been ordering from this restaurant for some time. The other day tried a different dish from them and have to say it was a winner. The home delivery was super fast.
Dishes I tried:
Szechuan Style Beef - small
Lately I tried their Szechuan Style Beef and all can say is it was a great choice. With a order on beef fried rice (small) more then enought for two people.

Could be better.
Went to Ma Cuisine (Haitian) this Saturday (8-30-2008) past.
Our takeout order was Bouillion (soup), Griot (fried pork chunks), Plantain, and salad. One problem is the meat was too dry. It might help for the cook to watch his cooking time. Will try again since it is not too far to travel to.
Hope they can come up to the level of Le Soleil restaurant which is Haitian also.
Dishes I tried:
Griot (fried pork chunks),
Going back next week for a followup.
