Empanadas
Janet C.

Yummy food, friendly staff, delicious food. Def hot and muggy though just with ceiling fans running. Colorful decor with lots of fake plants all around both hanging from the ceiling as well as in the corners. We came here on a Monday afternoon and it was already pretty busy. We got seated pretty quickly. We ordered the empanadas which are huge and deep fried. My favorite and my daughter's favorite was the ground beef. The sauce it comes with was very nice. Would come again. I want to try the mofongo and the bandeja puntacana!

Delicious yet again!!! Another visit to a new favorite in Myrtle Beach!! This time it was for brunch! The fried whole red snapper was perfectly crispy! Hubby enjoyed the empanadas and we both liked the chicken one the best. We will always stop here when in town!

Mofongo y Carne Frita

Really enjoyed finding Dominican food after a long day at the beach. The flavor of the mofongo was on point! Enjoyed the clean, simple and cozy vibes of the restaurant. Staff were very attentive, welcoming, and provided great suggestions for the meal.

Whole snapper
Yolanda E.

It was our last night of our trip to South Carolina and I wanted something good to eat. I Googled nearby restaurants and this place had a picture of a whole fried snapper, my favorite meal! The reviews were great all referencing the authenticity of the food. I was sold then. The restaurant was clean and the staff very welcoming. Our waiter was new but he was determined to get it right. I ordered the whole snapper, my friends ordered pork chops and fried pork chunks. Our meals came out nicely plated on wooden boards & it was piping hot. ALL of it was delicious! The rice, salad, and plantains were also on point. It was so good I asked for the cook to come out so I could pay her a compliment! If I had another night there I would have returned to try something else. My only suggestion would be to have someone a bit more fluent in English on staff to help out. If you're ever in Myrtle Beach check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Fried red snapper, rice, beans, and fried plantain
Simi O.

I live in Miami and I have had my fair share of a lot of the dishes on the menu at Punta Cana. Growing up in Myrtle Beach, I have tried a lot of the restaurants in the area but as I come back to visit relatives over the years I discover new restaurants that open. Punta Cana Bar and Grill is one of them. I will admit that I set the bar low on finding anything similar to restaurants in Miami when I ordered from here. But I was blown away when I received my order via Grubhub earlier today. I got the fried fish, with rice, beans, and a side of fried plantain. It was plated neatly, and still hot by the time it was delivered. The fish could have used a pinch more salt, but overall, for $27 I think it was a good portion: the fish and the plantain were fried perfectly. I definitely will be trying to order again from here before I return to Miami. But I am happy to know there is a taste of the Dominican here in Myrtle Beach whenever I am craving it.

Authentic Dominican food. Friendly place with great service. Prices are reasonable. I had pollo a la braza and chicken wings with mango habernaro. I recommend this place.

Grilled salmon with rice and beans, salad, and fried plantains

Authentic Dominican food in Myrtle Beach. Casual environment, parking right outside, the food took a little long, but the staff was and food was good. I recommend the grilled salmon with rice and beans, salad, and fried plantains. The cocktails could have been better, but we really went to eat.

Large mango juice

On vacation here in Myrtle Beach and through a search, found this Caribbean restaurant right nearby where we were staying. I was so excited to try this place as after moving out of NYC where restaurants like this are plentiful, I miss this so much. Punta Cana did not disappoint me at all. The worst thing I can say about my experience here was the rice. The rice was hard as it must've been sitting around for a while. The beans were very good; the beef empanadas were large & delicious; my skirt steak was large and seasoned perfectly. My wife ordered the baked chicken with the sweet bananas and enjoyed her dinner very much. I do have to say, Punta Cana gives you a meal worth every penny as we were unable to finish our food, a gigantic serving. Even the mango drink is H-U-G-E....

Shrimp and plantain appetizer

Friendly and kind face greeted us and was promptly brought our drinks. Food absolutely delicious.

Mofongo with Shrimp
Francisco R.

We stopped in yesterday, 7/11/23 for dinner. The portions are large and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our table sampled, the Chicharron, the large fritura platter, mangu, white rice, and the mofongo with camarones. It was all delicious. Our big mistake was having ice cream prior to coming here, so some of our party were a bit full. I highly recommend.

The mofongo was a 2/10. Dry. Not enough garlic for my taste. The service was on island time, so expect it to take more time than it should.

Bachata Caribbean Bar & Grill - Fried pork belly and fried plantains

Bachata Caribbean Bar & Grill

4.0(29 reviews)

Found a little Venezuelan gem hiding in an unexpected corner of downtown Myrtle Beach…read more Bachata Restaurant is on Seaboard Street, tucked into the more industrial side of town between 10th Avenue and 501, and between Highway 17 Bypass and Robert Grissom Parkway. It's outside the usual Myrtle Beach restaurant and tourist zones, which is honestly part of what makes finding it fun. The restaurant recently changed ownership and is now serving Venezuelan and other Latin food during the day, with a nightclub in the back at night. The dining room is small and intimate -- maybe five or six tables -- so I can imagine it filling up quickly. There were a few people eating when I stopped in, but I had plenty of room. I went specifically hunting for fried pork belly, and they had exactly what I wanted: chicharrón. And they absolutely did NOT skimp on it. I got a big box of thick, crispy fried pork belly along with tostones -- green plantains smashed flat and fried until crisp. For the price, I was honestly surprised by how much food I got. They also gave me fresh pico de gallo that tasted like it had been made right there in the kitchen, along with house-made guasacaca, the traditional Venezuelan green sauce. Between the crispy pork belly, tostones, fresh pico and that guasacaca, this was seriously good eating. There was also a hot case in the dining room filled with Venezuelan grab-and-go snacks and pastries, including stuffed fried pastries with meat and cheese. Those definitely caught my attention for the next visit. There was a small language barrier when I ordered, but Google Translate took care of that in about 30 seconds. Everyone was pleasant, we figured out exactly what I wanted, and I left very happy. While I waited, I looked over the menu, and there are a LOT of things I'm going to have to go back and try -- especially the empanadas and some of the traditional Venezuelan dishes. If you like discovering small, locally owned restaurants that aren't sitting on Restaurant Row or surrounded by tourist attractions, Bachata is absolutely worth checking out. It has that great little hidden-neighborhood-restaurant feeling, despite being right in the middle of Myrtle Beach. Sometimes the best food is hiding in the places you'd normally drive right past. Bachata Restaurant 811 Seaboard Street Myrtle Beach, SC And if you're specifically hunting for a big box of crispy chicharrón, tostones and homemade Venezuelan sauces in Myrtle Beach -- I found it.

We didn't have any food since it didn't look like any was available during the "club" hours. But…read morethe bartender was nice and sent us a round for my sister's bachelorette. We went two nights in a row and it was really empty. The Friday night DJ was especially great! He was from Puerto Rico! My only complaint was the women's bathroom was so hard to flush.

This is my absolute favorite place for ceviche. I came here once by chance on a work trip from…read moreWashington state. When I got back to Washington, I was trying like every restaurant with ceviche in search for something as good as this place and I couldn't stop talking to everyone about it. I flew back to Jacksonville, NC to visit someone and I had to make the trip to Wilmington just to come h. Try the sampler ceviche dishes! You will not regret it!

A hidden gem in Wilmington ... a well kept secret of the locals …read more.. From the outside .. it looks like a road side hole in the wall but once youre in, its a whole new world ! Most people enter the bar entrance where the small patio area is .. but on the other side of the patio is the main entrance where you are created by the host stand .. You would never know how big this place is from the outside but once in... its like one of the hamster cage cages with never ending tunnels to different rooms/area... RSVP are definitely suggested since walkins are usually in Bar area or Patio area .. which isnt bad .. but its limited seating .. Staff here are cool but service can be a lil wait if they are busy . Menu is a Panamanian vibe with lots of good eats .. One of the salsas you must get is the Elote salsa its very nommm nommmm next would be the Goat Gauc which is equally amazing. The Ceviche is a must get ... yes get the Quattro which is 4oz of each one so you can sample all ! The scallops and pork belly of mash is pretty good but would be better over the coconut rice . The special of the day was a sheepshead filet over risotto which was pretty damn good ! The corvina was ok but was a little bit over done and ended up a lil drier than expected. Highly recommend asking for the homemade hot sauce ... its amazing and goes on everything! This is definitely a locals Hotspot and an interesting place to people watch... Will definitely comeback for sure .
