"Great customer service from Paola. Food tasted very good. I love the Latin variety of Dominican and Puertorican. Asked for an adult pasta to share with two kids and they went the extra mile and served it individually (without me asking). That’s a big plus! Also the bathroom was super, super clean! I know this is a big deal for parents with young kids. Thank you for the great service."

"I live in miami but was down here and craving Dominican food. First time trying their food today and service was amazing as well as the food. Best Dominican food I’ve had in Kissimmee so far! Tres Golpes was literally perfection. Oxtails was also tender, good quantity and tasty! I would come again when I’m in the area! Prices were worth the portion and authenticity!"

"The meal was enjoyable. While the pork was slightly under-seasoned, the remaining dishes were quite flavorful. My partner requested the fish to be lightly fried, and it was prepared to his satisfaction. The restaurant's decor is appealing. Our waiter was attentive and amiable. The reason for a four-star rating is the initial wait to be greeted and seated. The waiter was occupied with cleaning dishes and therefore did not notice us immediately, which is understandable as she was performing her duties. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, but at one point, a group entered to set up for a birthday celebration, and the movement of chairs and tables created a significant amount of noise, making conversation difficult. I would suggest that in the future, chairs and tables be lifted rather than dragged, as a courtesy to other patrons. Otherwise, it is a lovely restaurant to enjoy a good meal."
