    Authentic Dominican food that has exceptional flavor and variety. The food is excellent and well portioned. I do recommend sharing. We got the platter Bandeja Puntacana that had a variety of meats with rice, beans and plantains. Good portion for 2. The side of yuca fries was a small and fed 3 people. The service was good. It took a little bit for the food but that's because it's literally made in the moment. The decor is very brilliant and colorful. They do not serve cocktails after a certain hour so we had beer with our meals. They seemed short on staff but it didn't matter, the food surpassed my expectations. I will be back!

    Empanadas

    Yummy food, friendly staff, delicious food. Def hot and muggy though just with ceiling fans running. Colorful decor with lots of fake plants all around both hanging from the ceiling as well as in the corners. We came here on a Monday afternoon and it was already pretty busy. We got seated pretty quickly. We ordered the empanadas which are huge and deep fried. My favorite and my daughter's favorite was the ground beef. The sauce it comes with was very nice. Would come again. I want to try the mofongo and the bandeja puntacana!

    Delicious yet again!!! Another visit to a new favorite in Myrtle Beach!! This time it was for brunch! The fried whole red snapper was perfectly crispy! Hubby enjoyed the empanadas and we both liked the chicken one the best. We will always stop here when in town!

    Whole snapper

    It was our last night of our trip to South Carolina and I wanted something good to eat. I Googled nearby restaurants and this place had a picture of a whole fried snapper, my favorite meal! The reviews were great all referencing the authenticity of the food. I was sold then. The restaurant was clean and the staff very welcoming. Our waiter was new but he was determined to get it right. I ordered the whole snapper, my friends ordered pork chops and fried pork chunks. Our meals came out nicely plated on wooden boards & it was piping hot. ALL of it was delicious! The rice, salad, and plantains were also on point. It was so good I asked for the cook to come out so I could pay her a compliment! If I had another night there I would have returned to try something else. My only suggestion would be to have someone a bit more fluent in English on staff to help out. If you're ever in Myrtle Beach check it out. You won't be disappointed.

    Fried red snapper, rice, beans, and fried plantain

    I live in Miami and I have had my fair share of a lot of the dishes on the menu at Punta Cana. Growing up in Myrtle Beach, I have tried a lot of the restaurants in the area but as I come back to visit relatives over the years I discover new restaurants that open. Punta Cana Bar and Grill is one of them. I will admit that I set the bar low on finding anything similar to restaurants in Miami when I ordered from here. But I was blown away when I received my order via Grubhub earlier today. I got the fried fish, with rice, beans, and a side of fried plantain. It was plated neatly, and still hot by the time it was delivered. The fish could have used a pinch more salt, but overall, for $27 I think it was a good portion: the fish and the plantain were fried perfectly. I definitely will be trying to order again from here before I return to Miami. But I am happy to know there is a taste of the Dominican here in Myrtle Beach whenever I am craving it.

    Authentic Dominican food in Myrtle Beach. Casual environment, parking right outside, the food took a little long, but the staff was and food was good. I recommend the grilled salmon with rice and beans, salad, and fried plantains. The cocktails could have been better, but we really went to eat.

    Authentic Dominican food. Friendly place with great service. Prices are reasonable. I had pollo a la braza and chicken wings with mango habernaro. I recommend this place.

    Large mango juice

    On vacation here in Myrtle Beach and through a search, found this Caribbean restaurant right nearby where we were staying. I was so excited to try this place as after moving out of NYC where restaurants like this are plentiful, I miss this so much. Punta Cana did not disappoint me at all. The worst thing I can say about my experience here was the rice. The rice was hard as it must've been sitting around for a while. The beans were very good; the beef empanadas were large & delicious; my skirt steak was large and seasoned perfectly. My wife ordered the baked chicken with the sweet bananas and enjoyed her dinner very much. I do have to say, Punta Cana gives you a meal worth every penny as we were unable to finish our food, a gigantic serving. Even the mango drink is H-U-G-E....

    Shrimp and plantain appetizer

    Friendly and kind face greeted us and was promptly brought our drinks. Food absolutely delicious.

    Mofongo with Shrimp
    Francisco R.

    We stopped in yesterday, 7/11/23 for dinner. The portions are large and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our table sampled, the Chicharron, the large fritura platter, mangu, white rice, and the mofongo with camarones. It was all delicious. Our big mistake was having ice cream prior to coming here, so some of our party were a bit full. I highly recommend.

    The mofongo was a 2/10. Dry. Not enough garlic for my taste. The service was on island time, so expect it to take more time than it should.

    They always run out of food. The food is not as authentic as I expected. A huge let down.

    A hidden gem in Wilmington ... a well kept secret of the locals …read more.. From the outside .. it looks like a road side hole in the wall but once youre in, its a whole new world ! Most people enter the bar entrance where the small patio area is .. but on the other side of the patio is the main entrance where you are created by the host stand .. You would never know how big this place is from the outside but once in... its like one of the hamster cage cages with never ending tunnels to different rooms/area... RSVP are definitely suggested since walkins are usually in Bar area or Patio area .. which isnt bad .. but its limited seating .. Staff here are cool but service can be a lil wait if they are busy . Menu is a Panamanian vibe with lots of good eats .. One of the salsas you must get is the Elote salsa its very nommm nommmm next would be the Goat Gauc which is equally amazing. The Ceviche is a must get ... yes get the Quattro which is 4oz of each one so you can sample all ! The scallops and pork belly of mash is pretty good but would be better over the coconut rice . The special of the day was a sheepshead filet over risotto which was pretty damn good ! The corvina was ok but was a little bit over done and ended up a lil drier than expected. Highly recommend asking for the homemade hot sauce ... its amazing and goes on everything! This is definitely a locals Hotspot and an interesting place to people watch... Will definitely comeback for sure .

    This is based on takeout***…read more Great vibe inside. Love the decor. Lobster ceviche is really good. Huge chunks in there and the flavor is great. The tortillas are really hard, difficult to eat and not very good though :( Ahi tuna was seared (not raw like I asked for) and the tortilla was burnt. Half wasn't edible... Coconut rice is sublime. Id go again but make different choices.

    Good foods Good service and prompt service…read more Good Ambiance with a cozy inner city feeling Also had the Tito Fuentes drink

    "Good Mexican with a twist near downtown Wilmington"…read more Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner at 6pm and were seated immediately despite it being a group of 5. The place was not very large but relatively full, so be wary of coming later unless you're OK waiting. The restaurant had a bit of a rustic look but clean & well maintained, and nice local art posted on the walls. Staff were welcoming and friendly, and a lot of the food was sourced locally. We started with a sweet potato- goat cheese "guacamole" appetizer. I split the Jefe's Arroz Con Pollo and the Carne Con Ancho with my son. My girlfriend got the vegan rellenos. Food came out in maybe 20 minutes. The ACP was very good but unusual. It came with a thigh and leg of chicken on top, and a big mix of flavors of food underneath-- coconut rice, black beans, pineapple salsa. Curiously no cheese. Very different from any ACP I've ever had. Overall, it was fine-- honestly, my son and I both felt it was too many flavors that overwhelmed each other. In contrast, the Carne Con Ancho was spectacular. The steak bits were cooked rare to perfection and absolutely melt in your mouth. The flavors of the arepa below it as well as the horseradish and other components blended beautifully and made for a wonderful dish. My girlfriend said the rellenos were nicely fried and the sweet potato puree was excellent-- a very hearty dish without feeling heavy. And we all also really liked the guacamole appetizer-- unusual yet delicious flavor (and no avocado). Price was fair-- this was definitely upscale, so not "cheap", but fair for what we got. Overall, I'd happily come back, and definitely would want that Carne Con Ancho again. I recommend.
