El Castillo De Jagua Restaurant

El Castillo De Jagua Restaurant serves Dominican dishes including sancocho, mofongo, and Cubano sandwiches on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Sancocho is a warm meat and vegetable stew with corn, potato, and carrot, served with tostones, yellow rice, and beans. The space is centered on dining in, so ordering ahead is better when you are in a hurry, and buttered bread comes out first. The store is small, so wait times get long when customers crowd in.
