Stopped at Don Chucho for lunch. I had their chicken with black bean rice, my husband ordered baked pork. Both dishes were really good, meat juicy, sauce with chicken added some nice flavor to rice. Service was superb, we were offered to try food before ordering. We liked everything about this place - food, service, setting. Would come back again.

This restaurant is one of the best Dominican Restaurant in Elizabeth! Kitchen is always clean, food always tastes fresh! Drinks are amazing! The service is always great and pleasant! Don Chucho, the owner and his wife, have created a family atmosphere where all are welcomed! You can have a small gathering if you like. There is a space for it and they have great music always playing. This place is highly recommended for Dominican confort food for dine in or takeout!

Great Dominican food, the best in the area! The people are very nice and honest. One time I ordered deliver from this place and I accidentally over-tipped the delivery guy, he called me right away and a few minutes later came back with the rest of the money. My faith in humanity, restored!

I really enjoyed this place. It was small but the vibe was on point. We went for a friend's bday so first time here. We had no food but did do drinks. The staff was friendly overall a clean place. The place wasn't crowded I guess bcz it was a Friday but it was perfect for me. Overall I would definitely return. Do also want to try the food.
