Although in the last few years more businesses have opened up there. There is a big parada style restaurant that's ok. I prefer the small grass a few feet from the big parada. Their fish is still the best. |

I love that. There is also a place in San Jose de las Matas next to hotel San Jose on the main road to go back to Santiago but I can not remember the name of that place Also, in las colinas Santiago. There is a place where they cook steak late night... nothing fancy but they sure cook it well. I can not remember the name but the outside of the building is green. Near monte bar On the road between Las Matas and Guajaca is a great place that bakes Casabe and makes Panecicos right on the road side. Panecicos are made of yuca, lard and chunks of meat. Its a Serrano delicacy that goes down well with dark coffee. Yes!!! been there its mouth watering good. you are making me want to catch the next flight out there  Have you ever been to this place on the road between SAJOMA and Corozo that the guy cooks great carne sala? Its his house but he built a little ranch were people go and hang out and even dance sometimes. I forgot his name but I have his number stored in my DR cell phone, you have to order like half hour in advance. Yes he throws down some mean carne salada but in all honesty I must admit that the best carne salada is not found in our sajoma. On the old road to POP right after reaching la cumbre at Tamboril, there is this lady that is just unreal. She prides herself in only using lean cuts brought from a special farm down in Licey. She makes her own longaniza which I always buy extra to have my nana make me a locrio the next day. In POP near the Iberostar Hotel there is a very old but nice restaurant called El Manguito. Good food at this well established family restaurant, among my favorites there are the masa de cangrejo guizada and puerco asado. The family that owns this place has been in that land for the last 300 years, yet when the hotel people came around with claims that the land was theirs, the family stood up and defended it. These are good people that were fortunate enough to battle this big hotel and win. Have they done any repairs to the old road to POP? I will have to check it out when Im out there When I was there a few month back it was horrible I took the LONG one instead. But my father told me they are fixing it now. Once I counted 375 curve in la Cumbre. I was on that road about 5 years ago. those curves are tight. What is the name of that seafood ranch on the newer road from Santiago to POP just ourside of Puerto Plata? Its a place with no walls open air. The fried batata and shrimp are good Usualy I don't go by name but I know which one you are talking about it is in Maimon. Yeah when I want CHIVO I go to la linea right after ponton but when I want marisco I go to Maimon.

Cooking fish is an art and there are very few artists in the DR  deep fried is last resort and please dont overcook it  just until it changes color rare in the center sauteed or grilled lightly if not forget it .....if you wish to jazz it up try some of " Dread Burning @sshole Hot Sauce XXX " on the side You are entering the Ultra Spin Zone... |

Location: United States Join date: December 2007 Member #: 4 Posts: 9069 | RE: Awesome Places to have Best Food in DR yes, Enrico, good culinary tips. if you must fry, 3 minutes per side in 350 degree oil. as soon as it gets to 135 degrees inside, it is done. it does not have to resemble charcoal before you can eat it. besides, i am going to open myself for a torching, but this is one of my beefs with life here. why does everybody hare to copy everybody else? why is it that if one guy does something, ninety five guys do the same thing, in the same place, in the same week? why is it that everybody has the same dishes in maimon? correct me if i am wrong, but is there anything such as shrimp etouffe, or equivalent? does it all have to be al ajillo? or a la criollo? and the fish...can't anybody learn how to grill a fish there? (maimon). and xwill, you cannot screw up fried batata. not even Enrico can, and he does not know the difference between a can opener and a spoon. Edited on 9/28/2009 3:05 PM by dreadlocks. |
