As authentic Dominican as you can get with. I had the rice w/beans and pernil. Tasty and well cooked. The server was entertaining.

I wish all mall food is like what Cibao has: delicious, unpretentious dishes with character. It's the first time I've seen Dominican food in a mall, which really should have been more popular. We had two kinds of pork with Spanish rice, and a stuffed cassava, all very well prepared, and washed with Dominican soda - very satisfying! The price was fair and service was fast and friendly

Located conveniently at the Rockingham Mall in Salem New Hampshire, this spot specializes in Dominican food. The first bite of rice filled my mouth with flavor. Then I tried the pernil aka pork shoulder, which was recommended by the young lady who helped me, was a perfect match with it. The pork was soft, tender and filled with flavor. The chicken empanada had potential, it was a bit dry but the chicken did have a good flavor. I think hot sauce or a mayo-ketchup sauce could have added some texture to it. But definitely, I do recommend Cibao, it was nice to see Latino food at the mall food court !!

The pork shoulder was very dry. No sauce of any kind. No inherent moisture from braising (think it was braised originally and then left under a heat lamp for hours or something). Then, my first bite was a giant salt bomb. No actual flavor. Just salt. It was that way throughout. The spanish rice and beans were less salty, but with no other flavor. Just salt again. So disappointing! I ordered from here expecting some lovely Dominican flavors. The fried sweet plantains were fine. I don't understand all the 5-star ratings. This was just not good. Bland but salty. Good thing it was cheap!

For mall food, this place is incredibly good, better than most sit down restaurants. Yuca fries are the best I've had. All entrees are excellent. It's the only place in Rockingham Mall worth going to
If you're looking for delicious Dominican food that won't break the bank, Cibao Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. I recently ordered the pastellitos with moro and pernil and was blown away by the flavors. The pastellito was perfectly crispy and filled with seasoned chicken, while the moro (rice and beans) was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The pernil (pork) was tender and juicy, with a nice crispy skin.What really stood out to me was the quality of the food for the price. It's not often that you can find such flavorful food at such an affordable price point.

A little pricey for what I've paid for Dominican food elsewhere but comparable to other places in the food court in terms of price. Delicious food and generous portions. The older lady and young man that usually work there are both very kind.

The server didn't make eye contact with me he seemed like he was in a rush & I know my plate didn't cost $9.99 all I ordered were 2 small yuca pieces,1 guineo,some cod fish,1stuffed cassava & a water. The stuffed cassava tasted like other fried foods & the outside had pieces of other fried things so I ate the inside of it. Over all I got a severe upset stomach from the food! Never again!
Best Spanish food in the state of New Hampshire, soul food at its finest.
