About this restaurant

Welcome to Merengue!
Every day we serve to a very diverse ethnicity of clientele, who through our dishes, experience something that we have called “A Dominican Dining Experience”, which takes them back to our roots. We were the first Latino restaurant to have delivery service. The first to have a variety of dishes as daily specials, plus an extensive menu full of Dominican and International dishes; and the first, to have a professional Catering Service that has become the most prestigious and renowned in the state of Massachusetts.
We have catered from the State House to the most famous Universities and exclusive function rooms, like “The City View Room”, located at the observatory in the John Hancock building in the City of Boston, where dignitaries, personalities and famous artists have enjoyed our food. Come experience what everyone else is talking about...at Merengue!

    The food is always amazing but this time around the service was a bit choppy. Would definitely return as it is one of my favorite places.

    I'm from the Caribbean, so I know & grew up with good food. This restaurant is the truth. It DOES not disappoint. Service could have been better but the great food FAR outweighs this one factor.

    I am Dominican, and I have to say that Merengue is the best Dominican restaurant in the Boston area. We just celebrated my husband's birthday and the staff was very professional and service was great. The food was amazing....well presented, flavorful and plenty! You get the Latin flavor as soon as you walk into the restaurant. It is beautifully decorated with authentic Dominican decor. If you are looking for a great experience, you will not be disappointed.
