  1. Hi Jay, thanks for your recommendation ๐Ÿ˜ŠIโ€™m go to Santo Domingo for long weekend this month and Iโ€™m going just me. I need to run from the cold ๐Ÿฅถ weather

  2. Just sent this vid to my GF who's visiting there and said they were going to Applebee's ๐Ÿคฎ instead of trying some good food.

  3. This is very interesting because out of all of the restaurants I went to, I felt like El Conuco was the worst one. Perhaps it was just a bad night. We arrived fairly late; they were closing soon, and I ordered the Red Snapper โ€”it just wasn't that great. I'll have to go earlier in the day perhaps and choose something else.

  4. Uncle Jay!! I need you to go a few blocks away from El Lenazo, and check out a place called Viilar Hermanos! It is another authentic criollo food place that has outdoor seating with a sound stage, an indoor takeout food by the pound section, and an indoor restaurant where you order off the menu, its own bakery, and a water distillery center where they sell a Dominican Republic brand of water that could possibly be the best tasting water in the island. Did I say the place is in Gazcue? The place is vet affordable and it is usually filled with the government workforce, and the beer distillery workers and many other locals from the area. Check it out.

  5. On my next visit will definitely try some of these. I agree with you that they know how to season their food, give them 2 thumbs up. Canโ€™t remember the names of the restaurants I visited but I can say I really enjoyed the meals. Thanks for giving us insight/ info on your favorite spots.

  6. Most interesting. I am just back from the Dominican Republic and loved it. I was supposed to go to Miami but as a Canadian I sure join the WORLDWIDE BOYCOTT of the United States. Never for me again. The Dominican Republic: friendly people. English widely spoken. Canadian $ accepted almost everywhere. Luscious vegetation.

  7. Number 5 is our next stop next year . Have you tried El Mesรณn de la Cava . A bit more upscale from the ones you went to but it was fantastic. Food was good , service was great as well

  8. I have been following you for years love it all you messed up when you said good customer service in one of these restaurants is that true?
