Honest-to-God Dominican soul food in Norristown!

[Furious Flav-or]

I've been three times in three weeks, and so far, it's been great, right down the line, with the sole exception of a plate of maduros (fried very ripe plaintains) that weren't quite completely done. The sancocho (thick tropical meat/veggie soup) is as good as I've ever had, and the chivo (goat) and the rabo (oxtail) are absolutely mouth-watering. The devil is in the details, sides like the habichuelas (stewed kidney beans) and the fried yuca (cassava), which are incredible in and of themselves. They also do a bang-up morcilla (black pudding) and delicious empanadas.

If you get a serious jones for Mexican or other ethnic in the northwest 'burbs, think a second about doing the predictable, and give them a try! Next post, I might just do pics ...
