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

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.

You don't know anyone's background to be laughing at someone just because they don't speak your language. Just because you assumed since I look Spanish I'm Spanish. Mind you this is a restaurant you're not only going to get Spanish people. If you want your business to succeed you need to have all different kinds of nationalities come to your restaurant. Don't forget why you guys got shut down the first place and honestly I don't even think you guys should be open.

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 can get really busy depending on when you go and parking can be a pain, but they do have a lot. It is definitely authentic and a great local spot. The times I have gone, I got takeout but they do have a few tables if you wish to eat there. It is one of those not so hidden, but unsuspecting surprises. The staff mostly speaks Spanish, but don't let that stop you (if you don't speak Spanish) from going in there. The food is already made and visible, set up like an assembly line where you can point to what you want if need be. Given the style, it is pretty quick to get in and out once it is your turn in line.

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 tried this place because Matt Shearer was raving about the rice and beans. The mini pastelitos sampler came with chicken, beef and cheese with a dipping sauce.

The char grilled chicken is well season and the overall portion is great. The rice and beans unfortunately tasted just average, I don't agree with Matt Shearer. Overall a good experience for the value.
