This is the best Dominican food in North Bergen. The food is always fresh and tastes like your Dominican Grandmother made it. I come here for Lunch everyday and everyday I am so happy that I came to get this food. I love this place. read more

It's a really small place with only two tables, so be prepared to get it to-go if the tables are already taken. We got the steak combo #4, and it was more than enough for the two of us (maybe even 3 girls if your friends don't eat much). It came with salad, rice, beans, and platanos. If you get it to go though, make sure you have real knives at home because the steak is tough to cut with plastic knives. read more

Unbelievable!!! Originally wanted to go to Kura Sushi 2 doors down and there was a 5 hour wait. Decided to try Punta Cana instead. We were unsure about this place and just purchased the Oxtail special. It was fantastic. Rice was cooked perfectly and beans were just excellent. Got the mofungo with chicharron and it was the the best we've had. Highly highly recommend this place! read more

Maybe because I'm from the islands I'm very picky about my Spanish food but really this place is way too expensive for the food they are selling. Go to bergenline and you can find "platos principales" for under $10. I have to say the fried fish was good and fresh but needed more flavor either in the batter or maybe some like pickled onion on the side. The beans I'm very disappointed in. Where is the pumpkin, and ham hock and the seasoning!?! I really hope they do well as this is a much needed variety in the sea of korean and Chinese restaraunts. read more

I ordered a combo 4 which online was 19.99. I come in to pick it up find out they did not update it and its 25. Ok i pay with no issues. Pick up my food get home, and realize salad which says online has avocado in it has none. I call and the woman owner picks up and says if you dont want dont eat it and return it and says ba bye and hangs up on me. I call back asking for her name and she says with attitude im the owner and again hangs up on me when i tell her i will write her a review. Not only is she disrespectful and completely rude, the food also was complete garbage. Steak was like eating a band of rubber bands and everything else was not even ok. Mrs owner i give your place 6 months before you go out pf business for your disrespectful behavior to clients and 1.5 star food! Ba Bye!!! read more

Best Dominican spot always fresh and exceeds my expectations. My go to is their rotisserie chicken and every time It is delicious and juicy. Even though rice is just rice their white rice is always fluffy and rich. Go to spot for a great filling meal. read more

As a native Dominican, I'm spoiled by getting exceptional attentiveness at any Dominican business. But the few times I've visited Punta Cana Restaurant; the expected Dominican service are embarrassingly disappointing. The front counter staff are shamefully unfriendly and act as if the customers are burdens. Unless the owners do something about their hostile staff, this little gem to be will soon join the " stay away" from this venue list! It's too bad since the food has immensely improved. Hats off to the present chef for cooking authentic Dominican cuisine; yet not salty or greasy. read more

First time we ordered from here the food was so good and fresh! We had it delivered, the chicken was so juicy and warm. The next 2 times we ordered delivery the quality got worse, chicken was so dry and too well done, room temperature at best. Not sure what happened, but after the last time decided not to order from here anymore. read more

this spot serves food that feels homemade not over seasoned like most latin places, very friendly staff definitely would order from here again read more

As a new restaurant what they don't have in experience they make up for in service and attentiveness. The Fort Lee area was long overdue for a real home style Dominican Restaurant and from what I can tell, Punta Cana delivers. read more

Punta Cana - Salcocho with white rice. - Dominican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Finding Dominican food in the area is so hard that when I saw this place I didn't care about prices I just threw money down. Their prices are really great though so that's a bonus. They have food prepped on the side ready to go if you're looking for something fast and delicious. I recommend trying any of their mofongos, they're so delicious but you'll have to wait a bit. Forewarning they only have two small tables so it's best to bring it home or elsewhere if you have a large group. read more

Punta Cana Restaurant is such an extraordinary place whether you dine-in; order your delicious meal for take-out or perhaps cater your next event! You will be blown-away!!!The food is authentic, the owners and staff are amazing, and the decor takes you to the beautiful oasis of Punta Cana. I look forward to ordering my meals from Punta Cana regularly! Their lemonade is beyond yummy! read more

Amazing food. Friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. It's best to order to go seeing as their seating is very limited

The food was absolutely delicious, from preparation to presentation, I loved it! I especially enjoyed the empanadas and the sancocho, cooked just right from authentic Dominicans. PS: Delicious food and a great value for the price. I highly recommend it, and will go again! read more

I absolutely love the food here, I've tried a few of their dishes but the mangu is my #1. I get it almost every weekend and it's always perfect. The service is always great too everyone who answers the phone when I call to order ahead is pleasant and helpful (better to call ahead because they do sell out of certain things which should tell you how good it is). The owners are usually there every day which I feel makes a big difference compared to other places, they care about their customers and their business succeeding. I hope they continue to do well! read more

I've stopped in for pernil (roast park shoulder) a few times and it's been excellent every time. Generous portions, the lunch specials are easily enough for two meals. I also tried one each chicken and cheese empanadas, fried not baked, tasty enough and actually would have been enough for lunch. Best for take out as there are only a couple of seats available to sit. I'll reserve the fifth star till I experience more off the menu. read more

Amazing family owned and run restaurant. Excellent food and charming overall experience. We ate mofongo, pollo al caldero, mangú con los 3 golpes. All of it was REALLY delicious and fresh. They prepare their food in smaller batches so it's always fresh but they will run out so get here early. It's worth it!! I love a great family run restaurant and this is one of the very best. read more

The Dominican food here it's excellent.. taste like if you are in a Dominican house. The place it's small ( just two table) but they have a good service.. definitely I recommend this place to any one who wants to try the Dominican food without taking a airplane ;) read more

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Minimum is 30 dollar we order 70 dollar worth of food. I order my food at 2:50 didn't get it till 4:30 p.m. when we called the resturant at 3:45 they told us the food was in route. At 4:20p.m The delivery man called to ask for dirrection. When ask why the delivery took so long he said they wrote the wrong address. Now to the actual food. Horrible I order the Salmon it was over cooked and hard as a rock!!! I could not finish it. Considering that washington heights is right across the bridge i could get better food and get it quicker. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE!!!! read more

Absolutely amazing!!! The churrasco (skirt steak) was incredibly tasty. The portion I was given with the combo was good enough for 2-3 people. The rice and beans were on point! Not too salty but still very flavorful. The platano maduro and salad were regular tasting just like anywhere else. But man that churrasco was cooked perfectly and exploded with flavor. Also staff seemed very nice. Glad to see this place open up nearby. Almost impossible to get quality Dominican food near the fort lee are. Good luck to them and will definitely be coming back read more

Their chicken and cheese mofongo is just as good as Malecons! I am very happy Fort Lee finally has a spanish restaurant!

So happy I gave them another shot talk about amazing!!! Food is sooo good really taste like A Dominican home cooked meal!

There delivery guy is so rude and disrespectful. I always order from here but now I'm not. The mixed rice was hard I was so disappointed I told them can they pick it up and replace they said wait an hour ??? Which I'm not because I was starving. I paid $15 to get 3 tiny oxtails. read more

This is the worst place you can ever eat at. One they do fraud on your credit card. They put in tip on your card without authorization. Two I ordered a quarter chicken and literally got a leg which cost 11 bucks. They are extremely rude when you call to order. Never again will I order here again. They deserve 0 stars. Worst experience ever. read more

We were in Fort Lee looking for Latin food, and this one came up. My friend and I were very excited to eat there since they have Dominican meals. The place is very small, no restrooms and it seems that it was mostly for take out. I ordered a tres golpe/mangu. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected. The meal that my friend ordered was much better, so I was going to take the mangu to go and order the pernil with moro that she got. The waitress Brianna came and asked me if I didn't like it, and I said that sorry I didn't. She then indicated that I didn't have to keep the plate, that I didn't like that she would replace it for something I wanted. Brianna was super attentive, so I could say that the customer service is great, but I wasn't crazy about the mangu which is one of main Dominican's dishes. Also, the prices are a little bit pricey. My friend and I just ordered a drink each and two lunch combo and it came to $32, for me that's a little bit too much for the type of restaurant, but if you're looking for Hispanic food in a Korean town, you should give them a try. read more

Omg.. I just read some of these poor reviews for Punta Cana and they're giving me a headache. These reviewers are idiots. You need to review within context. Punta Cana is more of a fast food take out place than a sit down restaurant. It only has 2 tiny tables with 2 chairs each... and their food is made buffet (cafeteria?) style where you can see the selection already made behind the glass, and they pack it for you depending on what selection you make. Are these bad reviewers for real? It's like rating a neighborhood #1 Chinese Kitchen Take Out place, but latino style. The staff you can tell are family straight out of their country, some are shy (not rude) struggling admirably with their English, and they're just trying to make money with their authentic home cooked meals and may not be used to the customer service hustle involved with soothing the more entitled pretentious yelpers. Fort Lee is all about Asian food so when this little gem popped up, I was ecstatic. Yes, you'll find a broader selection and more carefully crafted latino food in other areas where it's a full service layout and more competition, but for a hole in a wall place in Asian Fort Lee that you can order pernil and have it with a side order of hot red beans over your rice, it's delicious (the beef stew & chicken stew are good too. tell them to put the sauce on your rice, the dark one with beans, not white rice). Fried plantains are usually good only in the summer, for those of you who don't know. I would pass on their empanadas, but try their tres leche cake! I go here regularly and I'm not even Latino, but if I was, it's like having your Latino family cooking you food, not some Chef Diego or other. Thumbs up, Punta Cana, please never leave! read more

Finallyyy!! Spanish food in the area!! Very good dominican food! Good portion, good price, fast delivery,! Exellent food! Good job guys!!

Great Oxtails I've been three times and every time I'm always greeted with a smile and great service. keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to trying the goat next time read more

Delicious Dominican food! Newly opened so be prepared to be flex and patient as they figure out their menu (demand, etc) but the employees were lovely and the food we had (empanadas, meatballs and chicken) were delicious! read more

Lunch Delicious Dominican cuisine in Fort Lee on Lemoine Ave. I ordered baked ribs with rice & beans.. Food was delicious, meat was tender and flavorful. New restaurant but the line was out the door. I live nearby so I will be going there for lunch as often as possible. I wished the owner good luck & Much success. They have lunch specials from 12pm to 3pm. Lunch special is under $10.00. read more

My to go spot when I'm on my lunch break. I go to New York for Dominican dishes, I'm glad I can come here nearby for a food mangu.

Great to have Latin Food in the neighborhood a bit on the pricey side but doesn't surprise me.

Amazing little gem! Fresh delicious Dominican food, don't miss it! Girls run the place like its home! 5 stars I'll be back for more Pollo Rostizado, black beans (out of this world ) and maduros (as sweet as the place is!! 5 plus stars!!! read more

Punta Cana - Dominican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

In my opinion, this restaurant is the best thing that has happened to the city of Fort Lee. Their food is just amazing, tasty, no salty, no greasy. I'm dominican and I love their oxtails (rabo), sancocho, moro de guandules, the potato salad and the shrimp in garlic sauce with mofongo on the side. But you should try the fried rice with shrimp and chicken in it, it's so good! We call it Chofan in spanish! I don't know how this people say that their counter service is a trash. I don't get it!! To the people who think that their counter staff is not the best, you should always ask for Brianna, this girl is just amazing. I think that she's the manager or something like that, because she is always there. Just ask for this colombian girl. My husband and I love the service that this young girl gives us. She is so polite, she's always attentive to her costumers. She is multitask. La he visto atendiento las mesas sola, las llamadas telefonicas y muy amablemente coger ordenes como si nada, y siempre sonriendo. Colombians are like that to be honest. When I go with my daughter, she is so patient and too undestanding with the babies. Mi niña tiene 2 años y es muy inquieta y hace regueros como es normal en un niño de esa edad and she always tell me that there's no any problem with the mess. Eso es muy importante en un negocio, que su personal tengan paciencia y sean atentos con nuestros hijos. Our kids will always be okay in this restaurant. Their delivery service is not the best at lunch time, they're so busy so I preffer to pick my food up. Es comprensible que a esa hora esten super busy, but deberian tratar de organizarlo mejor, solo como consejo. It's not a criticism. I always ask for Brianna on the phone too, she knows my bad habits, so she always tries to please me!! Punta Cana you are the best, your costumer service and your business is in good hands with this girl, your tasty food is the best, I don't need to cross the bridge, thats the best part of everything. I'm so glad that you are around here. read more

This place is still fairly new so of course they will improve and as of now they are decent. They have great rice but needs more flavor way to plain, the beans have a great color but there's more liquid then actual beans and need more flavor as well, roasted chicken was okay little bit to dry but had great flavor. read more
