Los Hermanos started out as a small Bodega. Back then the twins were only 10 years old and so their parents would bring them to the store to help out. During this time their mother would cook for them and the rest of the family.The smell of home cooked Dominican food would fill the Bodega and soon the customers who frequented the Bodega would try to buy their mothers food. Eventually their father bought a steam table and soon the mother was bringing in more money into the business with her cooking than the actual Bodega would.
This led to a few remodeling sessions over the years and full reign was given to the Mother to do as she pleased bringing in a very large amount of loyal customers over the years. Going to Los Hermanos is second only to having your mother prepare a nice warm meal for you when you get home. Los Hermanos is our house and yours as well. Chances are that you will be transported back to Grandma’s house (wherever that may be) when she would serve you food.
