El Embajador Restaurant

Absolutely delicious. The beans were soft and filling. The chicken was tender inside and roasted(?) outside. You may have to wait a bit for the food, and some people may struggle communicating with the staff, but it is well worth the mild inconvenience. Jamaica Plain should be proud to have delicious comfort food like this on their main drag.

El Embajador offers Dominican Style food which my wife and I love , when we come here to get Take Out we always get a Mofongo, which is mashed Plantines stuffed with chicken, and tastes amazing. The food is always consistently good , my biggest issue with El Embajador is the inside of the restaurant looks cheap , and very aesthetically displeasing , and the reason why we always get Take Out vs. Eating in. It's definitely an easy fix and hopefully they read this and learn it's what holds them back from earning their 5th star from me , because it's not the food holding then back. Either way , definitely worth buying food from , I have never been disappointed from El Embajador , taste wise

I’ve been coming here for over 15+ years, ever since I lived in JP as a child and this is my #1 spot for Dominican food! Everything just simply down to the white rice is authentic and after trying other good Hispanic restaurants in the Boston area, this tops all of them by far. Definitely a staple in my childhood & in the JP community!!!

My only regret is not trying El Embajador sooner. I had the fish sandwich which was delicious. I believe the sandwich is pressed and the bread had the perfect amount of crunch and overall was very tasty. While I was a bit concerned watching the sandwich a tarter sauce concoction of mayo and ketchup applied to the edge of the sandwich it added just the right amount of flavor. My husband ordered the Pollo Guisado daily special which was flavorful and huge-it came with lots of rice, beans and a side salad too. Looking forward to working my way thru the rest of menu.
