It was really hard to choose. The entire menu looked good. I ordered the steak and onions. Next time, I will get mofongo. I also want to try their garlic shrimp. The steak was flavored really well. I'm not a beans fan, but the black beans were really tasty. The rice was perfect and the salad was a nice touch. They offer plantains and I want to try that the next time also. Try this spot!

Flavor is there, food is fresh, and it's finally not disappointing me anymore. Whatever changed... keep that energy No sé qué pero en Punta Cana definitivamente cambió algo... y me encanta De verdad parece que hay nueva administración entrenando a los chefs (cocineros), porque la diferencia ¡se siente en el paladar! Antes era inconsistente, pero ahora la comida está BUENA, BUENISIMA con sabor, fresca y con ese toque dominicano que hacía falta. Que sigan así, porque por fin Punta Cana ya no me está decepcionando. ¡Voy a regresar!

After my last visit to this restaurant, I've reached the conclusion that Mabi Tropical has stopped…read moretrying and given up. When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

The prices are great. So many options to choose from. If you're hungry bring a friend so you all can get a side of their stewed oxtail along with their rotisserie chicken.

And I get a plate for my coworker too! Wait what had me!!!! Was my first bite of the black beans and rice. It took me back to the islands when a friend cooked me her stewed flank steak with black beans and rice. So I've been coming back ever since. Sorry this is long! But I had to express my gratitude for finally finding this gem!
