My report on Super Rico.
I went there this evening around 8:00 p.m. It was not crowded, about 8 or nine people. It was raining so that would cut down on traffic.
The place is rather cut and dried. Nothing stands out. A/C is good, music like in an elevator. No bar, per se.
Decor is Chinese sort of. There is no luxury, it is functional. It is neat and clean.
The lighting was rather bright, but not terrible so. The Me Nu (Written like that with the Chinese characters above the Me and the Nu) was written in Spanish and Chinese and Maybe English--you know I did not remember if it was or not. It was a long menu. Peking Duck was RD$980, a fair price IMO.
There were dumsum, and entrees, and several main courses like Chop Suey, Chou Mein, Chofans and then Chicken dishes, Mariscos and fish and a few other items including tofu.
None of the prices were exorbitant. I order Fried Won Ton, Egg Rolls, Chicken Chofan, and Spicy Chicken, and had a beer as I waited. Total was RD$540.
The beer was $80 so the food itself was fairly inexpensive.
When I got home, all the ladies that were playing cards had left and that left just Ma HB and me!! Way too much food for the two of us. We could have done with the Chofan and egg rolls or wontons....
The spicy Chicken came with Tostones, and, much to my amazement, they were fantastic. And I am a toston gourmet. the Spicy Chicken would not bring a sweat to an Eskimo, but it has a bite for most Dominicans not used to spicy food.....The Chofan was very good. The Wontons were done to a nice crisp and the egg rolls, albeit rather small, were tasty.
I think that this may well be a keeper. Not up there with the Pez Dorado, but the prices are certainly attractive enough for me to go back a second time...and try something else.
Down the line, there might be a problem with parking, but if they stay there and garner fame, that might be solved with a deal for the lot across the street....maybe...
