I live in the area and had been meaning to try this place since I heard it was under new ownership…read more I recently ordered the Mofongo with chicharrón, and it was fantastic. You can really tell they take their time and care with the food--everything was cooked properly, and I especially appreciated that the pork belly chunks were completely cleaned and shaved. That's usually a major turnoff for me elsewhere, so it definitely earned extra points here. The only thing that could be seen as a downside is the price. The Mofongo was $30, which is on the higher side. That said, the portion size, sides, and overall quality absolutely justified the price in my opinion. I'm happy to go back and try more dishes. Best of luck to the new owners, my family and I enjoyed your food very much!

I stopped by Punta Cana Dominican Grill curious to try something new. I asked to switch out my…read morewhite rice for yellow, which they did -- and while I was disappointed they forgot my beans, I still gave it a fair try. The yellow rice was fluffy and filling, and the yuca fries were actually a standout -- golden, crispy, and really satisfying. The salad, however, came with no dressing, and the chicken definitely didn't match the saucy, glistening version I saw in their online photos. Mine was a bit drier and missing that visual punch. All in all, it wasn't bad! I wouldn't tell anyone to skip it -- it's worth a taste if you're nearby and in the mood for Dominican food. I have a feeling there are other items on the menu I might enjoy more, so I'd give it another shot with different picks next time.

CHICKEN STEW 9/10 CHICKEN PASTELITOS 8/10 BEEF PASTELITOS 7.5/10 RICE + BEANS 10/10 POTATO SALAD 8.5/10 i also recommend their breakfast plates, their eggs + yucca are a perfect start to the day. Caribe 4.3/5

It would have been better they called to order something else/refund the difference of the Lonche de Cerdo Guisado/Sauteed Pork Lunch I resorted to instead. Nonetheless, the rice was flavorful but pork was a little dry. The salad that she was hesitant about giving was very refreshing given how well seasoned everything else is. Beans were yummy and the Yaroa had significantly cooled down since that was prepared much earlier. The "secret" sauce is a drizzle of ketchup and mayonnaise crossed over. Overall, food was good so I would be interested in coming again to try more items from their menu.

I would stick to the fried meats and fried pastries. This really isn't a sit down kind of place so we always get the food to go and I would suggest that option.

It is such a nice treat to have this level of consistency in the food. Everything always tastes fresh, flavorful, and homemade. What I really appreciate is that this is the kind of everyday Dominican food many families actually eat back home in the DR. Real comfort food and classic street-food style offerings you would find throughout the Dominican Republic. The setup is buffet style, so you walk up, choose what you want, and they either plate it for you or pack it to go. The ox tails are outstanding, the chicharrón is always on point, and the rice and beans never miss. Honestly, I have not had a bad meal here yet. You can tell they take pride in the food and care about the quality. The only thing saving me is the 45-minute drive... because if I lived any closer, I would probably be a few more pounds overweight.
