Editorial Review for Merengue Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
With a casual atmosphere and a soundtrack of Latin tunes, Merengue provides a welcoming spot for homesick expats. Popular menu items include a fried pork chop (served with Puerto Rican-style rice) and a red snapper ceviche with diced red bell pepper, green olives and onions. Creamy, custardy, caramel-intensive flan provides a cooling finish.

Merengue Restaurant is not your ordinary Latino restaurant. You get to listen to great music while having a meal that if served in downtown will easily be priced three times its cost. Every little detail has been covered, wall pictures by well-known Dominican artists have been beautifully placed around the restaurant, and the interior design carries you to another country instantaneously. I tried the mofongo (mashed plantains) and the picadera once, and I came back to have the coconut fish, and then came back for a different dish the following weeks, not sure if it was for the entree or for the delicious tres leches they serve for dessert, but I remember myself eating hastily just to order one of those with a cup of cappuccino that will shame Starbucks in a second! Highly recommended for all tastes! I promise you will find a plate of yo

There food is excellent and YUMMY!!! There service is excellent, always nice and checking in just in case we needed anything. I love the music and the way they set up the whole place is wonderful. I definitely recommend this place. If you love Spanish food, this is the place for you. Been to other places but not like this one. The food is not that hot or cold, its just right.
