This is going to sound bad but I got fed up with going to a restraint and ordring tacos and the like and getting well sht . I now just go to taco bell .
no santiago is the closest i know of.Is there one on the North Coast?
uuuh mexican food is great most anywhere in usa.they moved all over the usa and opened up shop. you can even get good mexican food in the northern states now. Many mexicans were smart and move away from the big city competitiion. Mexicans places out number McDonalds here. They became very succesful in the smaller towns and even have multiple locations. But that is there not Santiago. i have eaten ate several in Santiago that i thought was good. just can't remember the names
Ended up going to Puerto Madero based on a bunch of recommendations, was decent I guess for DR standards.. As far as there being no authentic mexican on the island.. go to Los Charros in Cofresi, best mexican food in the DR and 90% of the US (california excluded).. when I lived in Cabarete it was a weekly staple, everything imported including all types of peppers, jamaica leaves, queso cotija, etc etc.. I will continue on my search for good food in the Santiago area, so far been a tough deed.
Make sure they know how to make Salsa.
