Truly the BEST Empandas in Middletown & Orange County Area.........HANDS DOWN! Their sauce are complimentary to each empanadas. The Empandas carry their own flavor very well. NOT GREASY! That Guava Empandas........DANGEROUSLY GOOD!

Olivia’s has some of the best food in all of Middletown and surrounding areas. They have an amazing Beef Stew with Yellow Rice that is simply mouth watering. The beans and sweet plantains are so delicious. I recommend the chipotle ranch and chimichurri sauce on the rice and beans. The staff is amazing and very friendly. If you are looking for the absolute best Dominican food go to Olivia’s

The food is unbelievable and the prices are unreal. It's a family run business and they are sooooo nice. I only wish they had dark chicken for their stew, instead of white.. Nevertheless, my only regret is not having heard of this place sooner, since I've been working in the area for over 2-yrs...

This place is really good! I go here for the empanadas. It gets packed but you can also call ahead. I would definitely recommend stopping by to get some food.
