What it is
Lulo Restaurant is a Dominican restaurant at 1626 St Nicholas Ave, between W 191st and W 192nd Sts. Gothamist’s Dominican food guide says it has been around for over 20 years, and that owner Yudelka Marte Vargas took over the space about 12 years before the article after moving from the Dominican Republic in 2001.
Who it’s for
Neighbors and visitors who want a home-style Dominican plate at a lively counter, and anyone curious about goat.
Standout details
Lulo’s menu calls it “El Rey del Chivo,” the king of goat. Gothamist describes the food being scooped and plated from steamers behind the bar, and the goat coming with steamed rice, beans and fried plantains, with beans so good they were poured over the rice. City inspection records show an inspection on February 5, 2026.
Honest verdict
A strong pick for Dominican comfort food at the top end of the St Nicholas strip. The Gothamist piece is a couple of years old, so call (212) 543-9661 to confirm hours.
