Truly the best empanadas I ever had !!! Not greasy we actually believed they were baked until I saw them making them and I asked to make sure I was not assuming this. We ordered one of each and I am telling u it is so worth the stop. Very light and just done to perfection. Next the quipe.. I am not and never have been a quipe fan but this place has changed my mind. I tried the new one of chivo (goat meat) and thank u taste buds . Usually quipe is very dry but these r moist and crunchy outside. We didn't try the different sauces just used the hot sauce they provided which gives a killer punch!! I wish I had their recipe lol

Something did not taste like the way made in the US. I think it may be the mozzarella cheese. Needs some improvement.

7. El Carrito de Marchena

Ambiance:This is an open-air restaurant, with a pavilion like enclosure, meaning that youâre not entirely exposed. As someone who generally hates sitting outdoors, I was surprisingly comfortable in this setting. The seating is spread out to a comfortable distance, so even as a big guy, I felt as if I had a lot of space here.The bar is at the front of the restaurant, and there is a large TV there. Latin music plays in the background, but at a comfortable volume, so it easy to have a conversation here. The restaurant was clean, as were the bathrooms, and I donât think this restaurant would have any trouble passing the strictest health inspection. This is a pet peeve of mine, so you can rest assured that El Carrito de Marchena is up to standards.The overall ambience is in between that of an American bar and grill and a nicer sit-down restaurant.Location:El Carrito de Marchena is located in the center of the city although not quite in El Centro (âdowntownâ). A taxi from any hotel in downtown Santiago should cost less than $4 (as of 2014). Itâs also only a 5-minute taxi ride, or a 20 minute walk, to Las Colinas Mall, the largest shopping mall in Santiago, or a 6-minute taxi ride to Estadio Cibao, the largest stadium in the Dominican Republic. This location makes it an ideal place to dine before or after taking in a baseball game (definitely worth doing as the Dominican Winter League teams often feature rosters with as many as half of their players coming from MLB, including many of the top Dominican-born stars).Menu/Food:The menu was extensive and featured a large variety of options, including seafood, Mexican, traditional Dominican/Caribbean, American bar & grill, and international cuisine, e.g., cordon bleu. I think that is definitely a place where you can take a group of people with different preferences, even finicky eaters and vegetarians, and make everyone content.Overall, the food was of good quality, with good-sized portions. This was not five-star dining, but I would place the quality of the food on the level that I would expect from an American bar & grill style restaurant in the U.S. The one warning that I have about the menu is that it was entirely in Spanish, and as far as I could discern, the staff only spoke Spanish. However, as I was obviously the sole foreigner there with a group of local Dominicans who spoke only Spanish, the staff would have been unlikely to assume that I needed an English menu or be spoken to in English. If you have no ability to read basic Spanish, I would recommend having the staff at your hotel call ahead to verify that this will not be a problem. Cost:Between three people, we had three entrees, five beers (Coronas), bottled water, and a soda, and our total came to just over 2,300 pesos, or just over $52.50 U.S. (in 2014), after adding in a 30% tip (also be generous with tips in countries where people are less fortunate). Thus, I consider this place to be a bargain, as you can easily get a good meal for under $15 per person, even with taxes and tips. And yes, they take credit cards, even American Express cards (which generally carry no foreign transaction fees).Schedule:It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Seriously, it is! You typically would not envision restaurants of this caliber keeping such a schedule, but I certainly have no complaints.Overall:I was pretty happy with this place. I would not say that it is among my favorites, but as a regular visitor to Santiago, I can truthfully say that it is now one of my standbys, and I am sure that I will visit it again.

We stopped here for drinks and tapas one afternoon during our visit to Santiago. As much as we love Presidente, we found ourselves craving a cold Belgian beer to battle the heat and humidity of Santiago. We found the answer to our prayers at Vino e Beber, where we had tons of options. We were also pleasantly surprised at how delicious the tapas were. We tried four and found the portion size to be very generous. My #1 recommendation is the arepitas. I don't have a picture to add to my review because they were gone so quickly. We were here in the early afternoon, so we had the place almost to ourselves, but I'd imagine it is very popular in the evenings. Great service, great food, great beer. Great decision.Bonus: wireless, indoor air-conditioned space AND outdoor open air space.

With itâs Michelin starred chef Javier Cabrera this restaurant is one the best Iâve been. Itâs food is beyond dreams. Itâs menu is a fusion of international cuisine and Dominican gastronomy. I went with a group of friends and all the dishes were espectacular. The onion soup was superb, we also tried the Blue Point Oysters, the salmon, the pesto risotto and the chicken roulade. Thereâs a great ambiance all over the restaurant with a rustic-modern decor. We a had a great time. Highly recommended.

My friend and I visited Pedro's on a Wednesday evening, it was pretty quiet but the place had a nice ambience. The menu was varied and our waiter was a friendly pleasant chap. We opted for the ceviche to share, this was a decent size and very tasty. For the mains we had the beef and tuna tartare.This was probably the best meal I had in Santiago.
