Grands, formerly Pacos in Colonial Zone
Food is not really wow, it's more a place to sit, have some drinks and watch people walking by...
Food is average, not gourmet, it is a "carneceria", just sit wait at a table facing out, and pick out your cut.
You will find quite a few other visitors from the US sitting at Paco throughout the day. It's a meeting place for some of the guys who have been going to SD for years. People watching is the main fare, and the people who are being watched are very much aware that they are being watched. While Paco has a good number of just regular customers looking for a quick sandwich and a cold Presidente [and I mean good, ice cold Presidente], you will find prostitutes, female and male, working there. It is well situated directly across from Parque Independencia at the end [I think that's northern end] of El Conde.
Are you guys for real. Has anyone ever said or even thought, 'oh, I fancy some good food, I better go eat at Pacos', No? No one has ever planned on eating there, you eat if you are hungry and happen to be waiting for someone, drunk and exhausted all the other bars. He takes the pi$$ out of all the regular yanks who go sit there to drink warm overpriced beer. The owner is a really nice guy, but he really scoffs at thd regulars, and can't blame him, I do as I walk by.

Grand's Cafeteria and Bar (formerly Paco Cafeteria)
A well-knows spot on the Conde serving typical Dominican food and drink. At times the traffic from the nearby street can get loud but it is still a good place to sit and watch all the humans passing by making for an interesting, not boring experience. Late night there is a very diverse group of people that hang out here. It is not the place to be with the family after midnight or if you do not like to see people that are a bit free in displaying their sexual preferences.
Price: Inexpensive

Location: Calle El Conde #516 and Palo Hincado across form Parque Independencia, Colonial Zone, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
