Mangú Dominican Bistro

Mangú Dominican Bistro on Hyde Park Avenue serves the plantain breakfast in its name along with a broad menu of Dominican meals. Mangú tres golpes pairs mashed plantains with eggs, salami and fried cheese. Later in the day, the options include stewed beef, roast pork shoulder and chicken dishes with rice, plus several versions of mofongo.

There’s room to build a meal around what you feel like eating: shrimp or chicharrón with mofongo, a plate of guisado, or vegetables such as okra and eggplant. The restaurant also offers soups and sandwiches. Come hungry for a sit-down meal or order for pickup; the menu gives you plenty to choose from without leaving Dominican home cooking behind.
