Janet's has a good following...... so does Playero in Sosua as does City Market in Sosua...
Its been well discussed here if you search the supermarket names.....
Really.... how close are you and how far will you drive to save 20 pesos ??

Janet's is not good for beef. Chicken is okay. If you want beef, go to the butcher in the Callejon de la Loma (right next to the restaurant Locos d'Enfrente). Vegetables/fruits shop somewhere else. Janet's has hardly ever good vegetables and fruits -- once a week with a lot of luck but hard to tell which day.

Regarding beef, did you ever get a good steak from that butcher that you could put on the grill and enjoy?
If so, what was it called?
For me, just churrasco and even w/ it , I marinate it heavily.
Try Nacional in Santiago..... I have seen Angus beef there... never tried it.

Our churrasco we get at la Sirena and is it Angus (imported). They also have improted Angus rib eye and NY strip. There is also a small butcher in Sosua on the main road near the bridge called Todo Carne. It has some of the best local meet around and the also have some imorted as well.

Mike : forget the butcher - get the steak frites ( rib eye ) at Locos d'Enfrente ! !
Acira,
Callejon de la Loma is the street that starts right in front of Ocean Dream. This Swiss butcher place is right next to the restaurant Locos D'Enfrente by Bliss. Cabarete Maps by ActiveCabarete.com
Windeguy,
I make steaks from "filete". I also bought pork chops and they were excellent. I have to try their "faldilla" next; have not had much luck in finding it. Many restaurants in Cabarete buy from this butcher because his meats are aged.
