d' road cafe

i’m going to be honest, i thought the food wasgoodbut not as amazing as people have made it to be. i was honestly expecting the food to be mind-blowing, but i was disappointed.

i ordered the paella (highly recommended in many reviews) - clams, mussels, chicken, whole shrimp, rice and veggies. the seasoning was pretty good, but the seafood was a bit over cooked, which gave the impression that the food was just reheated and dry.

the salad appetizer was really sweet, which i didn’t realize they were going for until i found a piece of fruit (mango, i think). the portions were a little smaller than i expected, especially for the price ($26 without tip).

other than those complaints, the owners were sweet and the atmosphere was nice. i probably won’t go back, but it’s at least worth a try (3.5 overall rating)

the food here is cooked by a little venezuelan grandmother. it's alwaysgoodand she is very generous with portions. we love going here. it's small but wonderful.

if i had just been hit by a truck, and i was laying out in the road dying and god told me i could have one more meal before i died if would come from this restaurant. i've never once ordered, i come in and tell her to fix me somethinggoodto eat and janet never disappoints. enter as stangers, leave as friends!

pork on a horse. one of the best meals i've ever ate

what a surprise!. i'm not saying there's nothinggoodto eat in montgomery. as a traveler i was wondering what i'd run into. boy was i ever surprised with this place. not only is the food tremendous but i'd keep coming back just for the service. yanet is an incredible hostess. i was smitten by her charm.

take the time and check out this place. you will not be disappointed!

they have my loyalty for life.. i went to this place last friday night; the theme of the week was colombia and the plate of food did not disappoint. there were arepas (fried doughballs, which are much more amazing than they sound), plantains better than i've ever had, pork, chicken, a bean stew, some homemade cheese, and other stuff i can't remember. on fridays, you just get the prepared specialty of the day. she is doing a different country every friday for the duration of the summer. for example tomorrow night the dish is paella, country is spain.
oh my goodness the food!! it was to die for. i lived in honduras a summer and i can say this is the first place i've had in the u.s. that remotely resembled what i ate in central america.
the lady who owns it is so adorable you just want to hug her and call her "abuela" (grandma) by the time you're done eating. she answered all my questions about the food thoroughly. when we had a hard time deciding between the 2 desserts (flan, and a banana thing), she ended up bringing us both even though we only ordered and paid for one!
everything is delicious, the owner is incredibly knowledgeable and has trained in the kitchens of many international locations. she knows what she's doing, and the food is fabulous.
the only con was i got sort of hot while eating in there - there were fans but no a/c. she said she'd rather spend her money on buyinggoodfood ingredients than running an ineffecient a/c. can't argue with that logic!!

three words: friendly, fresh and delicious!!. janet! thank you for being wonderful hostess and cook!! we were four students from the 2013 air war college at maxwell afb who found your cafe thru urbanspoon *with a 95% rating. we thoroughly enjoyed "the two men on a horse," the cuban sandwich and the beef tongue stew all with fresh ingredients and home-cooked awesomeness!!! we are foodies and we knowgoodfood when we see it! don't the the 5% comments keep you away from trying this place!! we will be back!!

love these people. feelgoodabout every experience here. sweet people who try hard. i've said all i need to say.

my montgomery favorite. we came for breakfast that was sogoodwe took lunch to go! the brother and sister who run the charming cafe are very welcoming and will make anything to order. we tired empanadas, arepas and a cachapa that were all fresh and flavorful, but our favorite was the sandwich that we took to go: ham, egg, bacon, dressed on homemade bread. i wish i had discovered this place sooner!
