It is a common practice for some places like the Monfongo King to "use other places" to serve their customers. Bobby, the owner of the Monfongo King is a great host and his place is spotless clean. The restaurants he uses to serve the food are nice as well. I see a wonderful thing down on Sosua Beach with the bars and restaurants working together. If I am comfortable sitting at the Monfongo King with Bobby or with Big Lou at the NY Shark Bar. When I do not wish to sit in a hot restaurant they (the bar) will go and get the food and bring it back for me. The bar makes a small amount of money from the restaurant for "farming out" their food business. The food comes back wrapped and freshly prepared, piping hot! Tom at the Scandanavian Bar has excellent "shish go bobs" which are prepared fresh on his BBQ. Some places simply don't have the refrigeration to serve their own food and other places don't have the bar atmosphere which people enjoy! Go to Playa Sosua..the food, drink and atmosphere is excellent! Sure, Caberete is great but their prices are completely out of control!
