Buying baked goods in Playero is best done in the early am. You would not be believe the disgusting people I have seen smelling and handling the baked goods. Playero has tongs and plastic paper for your selection but some choose not to use them. I am talking really foul here. Kept me from buying them anymore. The sort of person you do not to even stand close to in the check out line.

i also do not use tongs. i grab a bag they provide, open it up, grab a piece of pastry with it and close the bag. i do not "check" pastries by lovingly fondling them, i just grab one piece and that's it. but i imagine there are some folks who'd frab them with a foot if they could lift it up this high.
did not know steak tartare is pork. are you sure? i will ask next time i am there but i do not think i have ever knowingly eaten raw pork or chicken, that's not particularly safe meat.

Steak tartar is beef. A german spin on that is done with pork I've tasted it a few times.
Anyway check out Horst's place up in Los Castillo. All kinds of sausages, smoked beef and pork, liverwurst, wieners, coleslaw and even salamis. Don't go there when you're hungry unless you've got lots o cash. He'll come out, take your order then plunk down a huge sample tray. Don't get sucked in cause if you eat the samples he's hooked you and spend you will.
Drive the road from the highway straight up until you hit the only named street," Frankfurter", go figure, hang a right, go to the end till you hit the big pink building on the right.

Yes they also supply Playero. In the parking lot there is a billboard stating this.
Joe is correct . Steak tartare is beef. But what they sell at Bavaria is definitely pork. It's a German thing. I just bought some today - and double-checked with them that it is pork. I've bought/ate it there for many years. And I'm still sitting up, taking nourishment. :classic:
It is possible that the German butcher does the butchering for Playero but the owners of Playero,the Valconi family,supplies the cattle for butchering as the family owns their own cattle ranch just outside Sosua.
Head towards Puerto Plata from Sosua, drive through Sosua Abajo, drive over the bridge, still heading to PP on the highway, continue up the hill. At the top turn left off of the highway and take the road up until Frankfurter St. You are in Los Castillos.
I'm pretty sure he said it was just outside of Sosua on the way to Puerto Plata,I'll ask him next time I see him at his restaurant.
