I absolutely love, love this restaurant! I order at least once a week if not more. I love their beef empanadas and rice and guandles with baked or stewed chicken. read more

This is where I come whenever I'm craving Dominican food. I really love their spaghetti! I normally get a platter with meat and sides.

I've celebrated my grandma's birthday at Punta Cana Grill two years in a row, and both times the experience has been amazing. The staff are incredibly welcoming and really go out of their way to make her birthday feel special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and creating a great atmosphere. The food is always delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Even our picky eater was happy with their plate, which says a lot! It's become a little birthday tradition for our family, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and a warm, friendly place to celebrate!!! read more

I stumbled upon this place, searching through yelp. I'm glad we found a new spot to give a try ! Very cute ambiance and service was good . So basically they have a very large hot bar that you can select different meats and rice along with the sides. They make you a plate or pack it to go. Everything we had was full of flavor . I had the arroz and Pernil along with small dish of oxtails and lechon . My husband got the chicken and rice . Even though everything was super tasty the only down fall was my food wasn't hot , not sure if they turned down the temp down on the hot table my food was more lukewarm then hot which was slightly disappointing. The taste made up for it though. read more

My first time visiting, ordered the Pollo Guisado, Yuca with pickled onions and rice & peas. Everything was very good with generous portions. The restaurant was clean, and all of the food was displayed behind a large glass. You can see the large array of options before you order. My plate was priced higher than expected, but it was good food. Would return. read more

Food is amazing and prices are reasonable! I highly recommend this place for families. Great environment.

Pura basura The food here is terrible. I ordered beef empanadas and the beef inside was cold. Not cooked properly. The beef had no flavor and it smelled. This place is sellling garbage No one should eat here In 2 years they will close this place down for selling terrible food Fire the cooks or pay the price and go out of business Avoid this place trust me Not worth eating here if it was for free Sorry for the brutal honesty but you shouldnt be selling food like that read more

Service would good food is on point. I've been back a few times. The mofongo with Pork is really good

I hate to write a bad review but this food is not good. The guandules and habichuela guisadas were water down. The rest of the food tasted like a put a ton of chicken bullion. Awful! I grew up eating Dominican food but this tasted like a lazy way of cooking with artificial ingredients. People in the island cook with real ingredients that could be found here in the US. Oh and it is super overpriced! Overall not a good experience. The food sucks! It's an embarrassment to real Dominican Food. read more

Ok so something they don't say online this is byob but that don't matter the food is amazing everything tasted so good the service was amazing also no complaints definitely eat here read more

Came here for breakfast there Mangu. It did not disappointment. Good portions and great flavor. Also had the passion fruit frozen drink. Very delicious. Great Dominican restaurant. Will be back again soon. read more

TLDR: strong flavored and satisfying food, but a bit pricey Punta Cana grill specializes in boxed meals of rice, a slow cooked protein, and salad. Choosing your meal is similar to picking out a way better version of school lunch. The meats are slow cooked until tender in bold flavored sauces that are great for topping the rice. They range from goat to pork to chicken. I had the yellow rice topped with shredded pork and some sauce from the goat curry and a side salad. The pork was flavorful though some pieces were dry. I also got a piece of crispy skin that was a delight to eat. The side salad was great for cutting the rest of the heavy meal, but it was a bit too salty and savory for my liking. Overall it was a satisfying meal but at $13 a box it was a bit expensive read more

Fire! If you haven't tried this you are missing out. My go to spot in New Brunswick. Nice atmosphere, greeted upon entry

love punta cana grill!! ambiance is great, the place is recently renovated and there are plenty of comfy seating options. food is incredible, portions are HUGE! service was friendly and welcoming :) read more

Stopped by for a typical Dominican breakfast (mangu) last weekend and it was delicious. It was a bit pricier than any other place I've been to for the same dish but it was really tasty nonetheless. I also tried their morir soñando and empanadas and those were ok. They also didn't sell quipe which was a bit disappointing but it's alright. I'd probably come back for their mangu and tres golpes again. Located in a little strip mall so parking was not an issue. I'd recommend. read more

This place is pretty good. The baked chicken packs a lot of flavor, the pernil was good (every Puerto Rican or Dominican thinks their pernil is better), and the Tamarin juice was delicious. I will have to try their mofongo next. read more

Punta Cana Grill - Pernil, Tostones, and Tamarin juice - Dominican Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

This place is sooo spot on if you are looking for some really good 'home cooked' Spanish comfort food! It's so good! I came across this place as one of my co-owners recommended it for their empanadas but oh boy we left with so much more! We discovered a true little gem in this mini strip mall with parking in the front. As soon as you go in, you see what food they have available and you can pick and choose what you like. They have various meats, rices and sides available. The first time I went, I got the Arroz Con Gandules (Rice with Pigeon Peas), Pollo Guisado (Stew Chicken) with Yuca and Potato Salad on the side. My co-worker got the Oxtail with the same rice and opted for the Macaroni Salad. Both were so ridiculously good! The sauce of the chicken had good authentic spanish flavor and you could tell the rice was freshly made. They also throw in a few Maduros (Sweet Plantains) with each order. The second time I went with two of my coworkers and we all got the same thing! We got the Arroz Con Gandules with Pernil (Roasted Pork Shoulder) and Green Salad. The Pernil was tender and moist, perfectly cooked. And let me say their portions are HUGE!! Definitely good to eat twice and I think the price was $12 or so. I can't really remember because I always order a few empanadas as well! Can't wait to be back in the area to grab lunch :) read more

What can I say?! Tonight was my first time having food here and I must say that I will definitely be back!!! I'm so glad I that I don't have to travel all the way to Newark to get good Dominican food! I had the fried snapper with white rice and red beans. It was DELICIOUS!!! The fish was fresh and the grilled chicken my husband was was also very tasty! Normally I don't like to get fish from small restaurants because of the fear that the seafood is not fresh but this place proved me wrong! The restaurant was clean and the service was good! read more

We drove by this place and decided to check it out. It's a small spot in a strip mall. Upon entry we were immediate served. The food is laid out cafeteria style. We ordered the chiccarrons with arroz gandules, potato salad and pernil. The chiccarons, potato salad and pernil were delicious. The rice had a burnt taste. The prices were average for this type of restaurant. I would try it again read more

The food is not good. I do deliveries for Uber eats and I had to pick up from here for a customer. So I said I was going to stop by and pick up some food for myself... I got stew, chicken, and yellow rice and peas and empanadas... I ordered chicken empanadas, and there was no meat in there. The rice was nasty and hard and the chicken wasn't good at all. It didn't even look appealing... The ladies in the back was very nice. But the food wasn't good at all. Also they tell you different prices. While I was in there two customers order the same things and they gave the different prices! If you're looking for good Spanish food. Please go to La Poncena in new Brunswick. read more

If I could give less than one star I would. This restaurant does extremely poor business and I will never order from here again. My mother ordered a red snapper meal today and the fish was not cleaned properly, all of the organs, blood vessels and bowels/guts were still in the fish. Imagine a fried fish with THE GUTS still inside! I placed this order on GrubHub during the COVID-19 pandemic, otherwise I would have attempted to get my refund back in person. The restaurant hung up the phone and refused to give a refund several times, to both GrubHub personnel and myself. Terrible customer service. read more

We ordered mangu on a Sunday morning and it was delivered quickly and it was delicious!!

I waited an hour and a half to find out the order was cancelled grub hub called and told me they canceled the order because they didn't have the ingredients. Why not call ahead of time so we can substitute and pick something else. I'll never order from here again and to top it off it's not the first time they did this. How do you not have ingredients your a restaurant. I'm so disappointed. read more

I have patron this restaurant 3 different times and I always get the same meal Baked chicken, white rice and salad each time I have paid a different price for the same meal. I work up the street at the hospital so I normally would stop before work which is before 3pm. My first time coming here I paid a little over $10 for my meal, second time I paid $15 this last time I paid $12. Seems like all the ladies just make up their own prices. The food is good with large portions, the girls behind the counter are nice but they move extremely slow so don't visit if you're in a rush. 12 lunch time is the busiest time. read more

I am sorry guys I know this place is new but I won't waste my money time!!! Disappointed completely about this dominican place ewwwwwww sick read more

Clean, professional, authentic food. I would definitely come back for more...love their cultural ambiance and their homemade juices. I had the passion fruit drink and it was to die for..the wait time was a bit long given that we were the only ones waiting for food in the restaurant. But overall it was a great experience and would highly recommend if your around the area to visit this place. read more

I am definitely a fan of this restaurant. I was craving a dish that was authentic and incredibly flavorful. I came across this place on UberEats, but decided to drive there instead due to weather. Nothing fancy about the interior, but the food earned its bragging rights. I ordered beef stew, yellow rice, maduros, refried beans and green salad. I even had the orange and mango juices. My container was empty empty when I was done. Would suggest having more hot sauce options. I was also trying to decide between the fried fish and beef stew on UberEats and when I came in I went directly to the beef stew. It was clear the fish was sitting out for a while. There is NOTHING like freshly fried fish. Will definitely return as soon as I recover from the calorie intake. read more

I found this place on Uber Eats and I was very hesitant to try it because in this area, it's really hard to find good Dominican, Puerto Rican or Cuban food.. I gotta say I was really impressed. I liked it a lot! The mofongo with pork was fantastic. The Moro rice was extremely good. The penil was dry but it was still good, not great. I will definitely eat from here again.. read more
