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.

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!

This is in my neighborhood and something I've been wanting to try. The place is sparse with Univision news on the television. I like it because I try to pick up what little spanish I can and try to follow the news stories. I loved the grandfather clock in the corner of this cute little shop. Sitting down I had waited about 10-15 minutes. A gentleman had come in, went in the back. The proprietor must have been in the back because soon she was out taking my order. I got a pizza pastel and cheese pastel (although I was trying to order some cheese balls, or Pao de Queijo, because I have had them at Peabody Bread Company and they're delicious and wanted to try these. But my pronunciation was severely lacking apparently!) with a cup of coffee. Coffee was good, and the pastels were piping hot and delicious. The pizza pastel is a little misleading, diced tomatoes/ham with cheese and seasoned with pepper for the filling. Still delightful and filling in the morning.

We usually pick up our food to go, and this woman won't let to go orders have more than 2 creamers with their coffee. My wife asked for more and this woman actually said "that's all you get". She's unbelievably rude to people, especially people picking up food. This morning my wife picked up breakfast and that manager wasn't there, so she asked for extra cream. The poor girl very nervously said "I'm sorry, we're only allowed to give 2 per coffee. Luckily whoever was managing told her that was a crazy policy and to give people whatever they needed.

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. There's a reason why they've been around so long. If you're in the area craving Dominican food, this is the spot.

April 17, 2026 I…read morewent with my parents tonight to the Adriatic Restaurant (Washington Street), Salem, MA. We've started having dinner out twice a month and this was the most recent experience. I had gone online to the NORTH SHORE DINNING PAGE on Facebook and asked people about their experiences with the restaurant in the last two days and here's what people said: "great, tender meatballs", "great eggplant parmigiana", "very good experience". .... And what we found out is that they were right. Those things were all true! Now.... As to what we ordered: I got the grilled octopus. It was the only partial miss on the menu. Arugula just doesn't make a very good sauce and it was a pretty bad base for what would otherwise might have been a great appetizer. My mother got the Caesar salad. It was good. It's a hard thing to screw up. My father ordered the meatballs. They were amazing and delicious - just like Facebook promised. The tzatziki sauce was good. Maybe not as good as mine, but good nonetheless. So dinner.... Mine was the Chicken Saltimboca. It was so good that I'd bathe in the sauce they make with it. I loved eating forkfuls of the chicken with bites of the mashed potatoes. That was really luxuriant. My mother had the Eggplant parmigiana and she wiped out the entire plate. She loved it. My father.... Beef tenderloin tips. Maybe cooked slightly too much, but delicious. He wiped out the plate. To drink.... I was out of the hospital and recovering from brain tumor surgery, so I had the hard cider (3.5% BV), my father had the Peroni (Italian) beer, and my mother had the Bud light. I tasted the Peroni and liked it very much. The hard cider had almost no sweetness to it. It was dry as a higher end brut champagne.... Which actually set off the meal really nicely. My tastes weren't clashing and that was good. Our waiter, Sean, was great. Ask for him! We left a $32 tip, so the bill came to $197.85
