about

As a graduate of The International Culinary Center, Emmanuel “Manny” Diaz worked in kitchens at renowned restaurants like ABC Cocina and Salvation Burger, all the while dreaming of venturing out on his own. In 2018 Manny’s hard work paid off, and he opened his first business focusing on cuisine from his home country, the Dominican Republic. 

Manny, with the help of sister Mercedes and other family members, serves up traditional Dominican dishes, like empanadas and patacon, with a modern twist. Don’t miss their cheeseburger empanada, one of Eater’s top ranked dishes at Essex Market.
