NY Times on Cheap Caribbean

Popular beachfront restaurant aka Papi's in the center of Cabarete... well known for their shrimp served in a rich cream/garlic sauce. They also serve fish, langostinos, lobster, some beef, chicken, and I believe pasta dishes. Tables/chairs on the beach are plastic, so not the bestest of ambiance - but, hey, you're on the beach! Also dining under roof (convenient if raining) on ground level & upstairs where tables/ambiance is a little nicer.

Appetizers are fair in my opinion, but the shrimp is worth the trip. Last time I was there I believe the shrimp was about 700 pesos... if you're not too hungry, it's enough to feed two. Ask to have the shrimp peeled before served if you don't want messy hands.

It's one of the best Rest. on the North Coast. Worth the trip.
