Dominican Food..

[tomgueguen]

If you want to try dominican food, give a hundred pesos to a trusted motoconcho, and ask him to bring you "La bandera"

Do you mean those 2 words "trusted" and "motoconcho" in a town like Sosua can go together???

Dozens of them! One of the most convenient is Susana's, near and on the same side as the Europa Hotel. (Someone else please give more precise directions). A very limited selection of Dominican food (only) but it is cheap and I never heard of anyone getting food poisoning yet. (If anyone knows differently please let us know). A good place to feed your chica. One grade up from a roadside stall or stand but won't break the bank. Also a pleasant environment in a peaceful courtyard.

I think you will have better luck finding more authentic Dominican food if you venture to the areas where mainly Dominicans live. Charamicos is a close walk from Sosua and has quite a few little restaurants and places to eat and buy food. I consider myself to be very cautious with where I eat but I have found a few places where I would eat or buy food.

My favorite is easily found by walking from the beach into Charamicos and up the steep hill until you see a traffic light on the main road on a street on the left. At this corner on the left side of the street is a nice little restaurant that serves food.

I have seen some tourists eating there who have also found the place but it seems to be a popular dominican lunch spot. Prices are good and the food is cafeteria style. Food is also VERY good.

Theres also a nice little fried fish spot thats cheap right on the main road leaving Sosua headed towards the airport but its kind of hard to notice if you dont look closely. As your leaving Sosua go just past Charamicos entrances and about 1-2 blocks after its on the right. They have a small table outside and a few chairs.

I am sure there are plenty of other good spots but as was stated earlier you could easily walk past some of them thinking they are peoples homes when in fact they also sell food.

The chicken stand near LaPassions mentioned earlier is one of my all time favorites.

Theres a lot of chicken stands to be found but there are some that just have a better tasting chicken than others.

My all time favorite chicken stand is the guy next to Kelvins Car Wash in Santiago.

Is this where Il Molino was located?

My Dominican friend/Spanish teacher from the El Colibri Hotel/Holiday Spanish School took me there last summer. When I went there it was just a shack with a few folding tables outside. I remember it was quite good, but very busy. We had to stand around and wait to get a table.

next to the fruit/juice bar

I eat at that fish spot at least twice a trip!

If you ask Willie in advance at the New Garden to cook you some Dominican food he will. He is a great cook as well.

I can cook, too

Easiest (and cheapest) is to head over to Charamicos and frequent your favorite comidor.
