Great service here! Amazing food, especially the seafood. Service is quick. Location is very convenient, not far from Playa Dorada.

It was the first time I visited this place and it’s decorated as a typical Dominican rancho with wooden tables and tropical trees inside. It is located between Iberostar Hotel and Playa Dorada hotels complex. At walking distance from hotels Staff is very helpful and...friendly, we asked for Dominican flag food which is bistec, rice and beans and we also added avocados and fried plantains. The waitress brought us concon free. The Lemonades tasted really fresh and natural and beers comes out really cool from the freezer. In terms of price I think it was considerable. So this place is a good option to try local food.More

The Goat in this restaurant with the white rice and fried plantains is by far superior to any other I have had and believe me I have had Goat everywhere in the country. The place does have a few mosquitoes so bring your repellent if...you will sit and eat, they have some of the best packaging techniques for To go food especially when you order green fried plantains. The Goat is a little spicy but just a dab.More

The best goat, tostones and habichueles in town! If you want to try a really traditional restaurant this is the place to go. Close to Playa Dorada hotels. The beer is super cold! Presedente of course! Don't miss it!

I went there on a business trip to Puerto Plata, had a similar bad experience before but gave it another try anyway, it is really close to the project I was working, so I ordered a red snapper which was not fresh at all, also...too much salt for my taste. Awful experience and now I would not give another try.More

The food used to be good here a while back. My wife and I recently ate at the restaurant and did not enjoy our meal. We ordered once again figuring it might have been a change of Chefs, once again we did not enjoy our...meal. I do not wait for three strikes, I would not recommend this restaurant.More

Great food and service! We came for a late lunch (around 3pm) and they were still able to serve us. Really liked the conch (lambì guisado). Clean and had fans which kept the place coolish.

This is a highway stop that you should make of you want to taste local cuisine before or after hitting the beach! Service was excellent. Whatever you asked for you got without hesitation. When we got our entrees portions were plentiful! We were a group...of six with a teenager and four adults and there were leftovers to take home for dinner. Some of the fried dishes we found a little bit over cooked but my fish fillet was very tasty and the rice and beans were delicious! There's also a great assortment of natural juices from which I would recommend the cherry juice.More

The food is excellent, everything taste really good. Excellent costumers service. the area is quite, clean and fresh... totally recommend!

Was staying in Costa Dorado and looking for some local cuisine. You wouldn't really notice this restaurant from the road. There is a sign out front and you walk down a set of stair to get into the restaurant. They had seafood, pork, chicken, etc....The portion sized were very large. The food was a great taste of the DR. I had a crab dish. It arrived with a plate full of tons of crab meat. More that I have ever expected. It was a chilled dish with a vinagarette dressing and diced tomatoes, peppers, celery, onion It came with a big side of rice and beans. My husband ordered the port pieces. They were flavored very well. We are planning to go back before we leave!More

El Manguito is a classic in the Puerto Plata area, a classic for Dominican cuisine dishes. The place is quite popular and and the staff is friendly. Do not expect any design or decor in this place, that is not about it, is more like...a huge palapa roof with tables and chairs. However their Dominican food is really good, homemade. I suggest you try the "lambi a la criolla" (conch with creolle sauce) and the "cangrejo guisado" (crab stew). They always put in the side rice, beans and tostones (fried banana). Wanna try some Dominican food while in Puerto Plata? Please trust me and go to el Manguito. Besides the Presidente beer is always ice cold in here!More

Wide offering of fish and seafood ( lobster, concha, shrimps). Very nice whole simply fried snapper - fresh and tasty with fresh red onion. You can pick rice and beans or fried potatoes or platains as side dish. Professional and friendly service, besides us only...locals were eating. Check their dessert coco con leche - very good local taste. Easy to reach from Puerto Plata by gua-gua or taxi. Walkable from Playa Dorada gate. Reasonable prices.More
