This might be the best breakfast I’ve ever had—anywhere. The Dominican breakfast was so good, I kept eating long past full. The fresh passion fruit juice was perfection, and that mangú? Pure heaven—creamy, with those homemade pickled red onions on top. The coffee is smooth and dark, and the owner and server are kind and make you feel at home. I’m coming back for another plate before I leave Brooklyn!

I’m not the biggest unsolicited review leaver, but sometimes you just have to. I catered my housewarming with food from here, and not only was the price for the amount of food you get amazing, but the food itself was even better. Giovanni and Monica are such sweet people and great restaurant owners. 10/10 will be back

They have got Dominican dishes, rotisserie chickrn, beef stew, rice n beans etc. The food is ok. The service is so so, nobody is going to understand you, dont expect a lot, just point at something and hopefully you'll get it. The last few times I went there they got my orders wrong, I asked for well done chicken, I got the most under cooked piece. I have asked for beef gravy, I have gotten chicken. Good people, they mean well, they just dont understand you.

The friendliest, most accommodating service! They went out of their way to please the cranky, tired and sleepy toddler! As a result, toddler was happy! Mofongo con camarones is da ! Definitely worth the trip, even from the city. Tripe soup was pretty decent as well. All in all, Castillo is definitely worth visiting.

Food really tasty. I had the tripe soup. It was good but could have been a little hotter. Overall, food could have been hotter. The prices were reasonable, as well as the portions. Server was very amicable and pleasant. Made food come out quick. I would go again.
