The Merengue 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!

"....just kidding! The waitress took our order three times: when we came in, then after the fryer broke, then again after it was fixed. We waited 40-50 minutes for dry fish and a chicken that was smothered in so much sauce, you couldn't see it. It was very underwhelming and I definitely do not plan on going back anytime soon."

"my dinner came out 30 minutes after all the others' at the table. While the server and host were apologetic, there wasn't much I could do but wait. They did give us a free desert. Nice staff, but something went wrong in the kitchen."

"Great food and fruit shakes. I've had the asopao de langosta several times and the bowl is full of lobster meat. One small issue is that things tend to be a bit salty, but otherwise, everything is flavorful and the service is friendly."
