This restaurant is in Cofresi, Puerto Plata.. WOW is all I have to say, it's the best Mexican Food I've had outside of Cali or Mexico of course.. The actually make their OWN tortillas.. thank you Lord! The Pork Al Pastor was absolutely delicious, awesome customer service, and the most suprising thing of all was the prices, TOTALLY reasonable.. 13 tacos, an appetizer of nachos/cheese/jalapenos, a few diet cokes and a water came out to like 1200 pesos.. 30$ US HAHA.

I absolutely recommend this place and usually I wouldn't even try touristy type places like this expecting decent food, but boy was I suprised. Anyone interested in trying out some authentic Mexican right here on the island, give this place a shot.. If you are tired of dry chewy "Maria" brand tortillas in the DR, give this place a shot.. thank me later.

A couple of questions: did you notice what else was on the menu and is there a nice public beach nearby like at Costambar?

It's on the way to Puerto Plata from Santiago. I think the best way to get there is take the exit for Ocean World.

I hate texmex, and this place is not tex mex .. more like socal/nor mex (TJ) style mexican food, absolutely delicious!

This place is like inside of the oceanworld complex, like 1KM or so before actually getting to oceanworld.. the area is called cofresi i believe.. Coming from SOSUA/CAB just drive to puerto plata, when you hit the sign that says malecon centro cuidad etc stay to the left, don't go towards the centro cuidad, you will eventually see a huge ocean world sign on the right hand sign (5 or so KM after the part when you stay to the left).

Its right across the road from Cofresi beach between Cofresi Palms (the old sun village) and Ocean World. Its definitely not Texmex. Its open for lunch and dinner every day except Mondays. The food is outstanding, I live in Cofresi and eat there often.

It is on the way into Confressi / Ocean world, We have made it a regular stop every time we come to the DR. I can't remember their names at the moment, But the wife is mexican and has trained her people well. It is not a Tex-mex place at all. After working in Mexico and living there for a bit it was a great surprise to find Mexican food so good. I heve never heard a bad thing about the food, Try it you will be impressed
