Hello wonderful people! I hope you all are having a beautiful beginning to the long weekend.

I did receive some news this past week that I need to share with you all.. I will not be able to open up shop this weekend. There has been a hiccup with licensing. I had done the necessary paperwork and licenses, however, I am being told I need other permits... apparently. It will most likely be a drawn out process.

Until I get this taken care of I will not be able to set up the pop up shop. I will keep the community updated on when I will be serving again! I'm still waiting to hear if I would be able to offer my catering service to those who would rather me deliver to them or pick up their order. But I am kind of in the dark with this whole thing and just know that I won't be able to proceed. Until I receive the correct information there isn't much else I can say.

I had stated before that what I am doing would be temporary since I am working with what I've got, and the pop up shop was a way to get people to try my food. Because it is catering of course and not a restaurant...

Thank you to all who have shown support! I don't think anyone understands how much this has meant to me. This was a tremendous opportunity for me to showcase my culture, which I am proud of. AND of course I got to meet new people while hearing how much you enjoyed my food!

PM me if you have any questions. Other than that, I hope to serve the community of Vernonia some delicious Dominican food once again at a later date.

Sorry y'all!
Gracias por todo, y nos vemos!

Wishing every mother a happy Mother’s Day 💐 hope you have an incredible day, sending love from my soul!

-Update

I will be setting up out on the Senior Center porch on the 14th of May!
I will have my usual menu items AND I’m also thinking of introducing la bandera (rice, beans, meat). Kind of spontaneous, I know, but I’m sure you will love it 😋🇩🇴

Hello everybody 😊

I appreciate everyone that had stopped by to try some food. It’s a journey that has been pretty exciting. I am always open to constructive criticism especially if it means I can serve the community of Vernonia better. I am sincerely grateful for the kindness and support, and giving me the opportunity to grow & learn.

I am delighted to serve my food!

I will be set up at 547 w**d ave on the patio at the Vernonia Senior Center today until I sell out! I have pastelitos, tamales, mini guava cannoli, and ice cream!

Now that I have been up and going for about a month I’ve made some changes… there will no longer be deliveries unless you are ordering for catering services. I am going to be setting up pop up shops every other Sunday and will let people know ahead of time. Apologies for not getting a notice out quick enough, it’s been a busy time.

I wanted to also thank the community of Vernonia for the support!

I will be posting the menu separately.

How do you eat your tamales?

-I eat mine with Cholula hot sauce, lime juice, tajin and aguacate.

This past Sunday I had deliveries ✨ all of this has been great fun, I enjoy making/distributing, and It’s been wonderful seeing so many smiling faces!

-As far as additions to the menu, I am waiting on getting more packaging materials to make it all possible. In the future expect to see some guava pastries 😋
-ALSO *coming soon* home made helados de coco & tamarindo (ice cream flavors of coconut & tamarind)

Call or text 401-771-2850 to put in an order for the 27th

Had another Sunday of deliveries and it was wonderful seeing you all, thank you for the support! I will be delivering next Sunday as well for those who are wanting to get an order in! I'm planning some changes come April, so I will be posting on here as the updates come.
Thank you again!

Hello everyone!
I have indeed created a page to get myself organized 😂. I am new to this all, so pardon me. It is very exciting to share these Dominican style treats with you all!
I wanted to go ahead and post this with some updates.

-Firstly, I did know the yaniqueque would be something people would like very VERY much. I did take them off of the menu, but they will be available in the future. I would also like to introduce more kinds of traditional sweets in the future. Therefore, after the 6th of March the yaniqueques will not be available.

-I will also be delivering locally in Vernonia only. Anyone who is out of town and would like a bulk order must come and pick up.

-My hours to take orders are Monday through Thursday any time. My cutoff time for orders is 3:00PM Thursday! If you happen to order after that day, you will be added to the count for the next week.

-Thank you again!

And on a side note: I figured that a lot of folks may be curious about the Dominican Republic, so, I am going to put some links in this post as well. Give them a read if you'd like 🙂

"Before everyone jumps up to point out the most obvious difference, let’s get it out of the way. Mexican food is famous for being spicy, while Dominican food—with only a couple of exceptions like chivo picante (spicy goat stew) and rabo encendido (spicy oxtail soup/stew)—is most definitely not."
