We came here excited to try yummy Dominican food. However, beware, the restaurant is using deceptive practices to lure foreigners who don’t speak Spanish pay a lot more than what they think food costs. The waiter brought the menu with prices that that were highlighted with light sharpie. Apparently the actual prices are online using QR code. It’s ok if there is slight discrepancy but some items are triple the price than what’s on the menu! We placed an order for Churrasco which was advertised at 850 DOP on the English menu. In reality it was 1800. Several times more!!! The waiter than said he can’t cancel the dish because he will be charged. Stay away and go to another restaurant that is transparent about their food prices.

Ordered la bandera with chicken. 550 pesos. Chicken was mostly bones. Salad was terrible. Beans were delicious. Tostones decent. Very loud music. Good service. 110 pesos for a small water. Overall the price didn't match the quality.

Apart from promoting typical local kitchen and customs of the “old” times, like the cafe from the colador, this is a terrific first class restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice, the service very friendly and the music animating. We loved it.

They tried to cheat me but I was prepared for it thanks to a review that I read earlier. I knew in advance what I am ordering and the price. One baked chicken breast and 2 mojitos. After making a seen, so other customers can hear, the manager recalculated my invoice manually and added %28 service and tax. That's what they got. Zero tip cause they didn't deserve it. Just to be honest, my dish and drinks were good. 1st invoice was Dop1408, then they came back with a discounted one Dop1196. After recalculation by the manager, I paid 1142 Dop without invoice. I said I will post it online, they answered "We don't care"

Looking for a Dominican cultured place, look no further. Took my wife here on a date and the place doesn't disappoint. It seems small from the front but it's bigger once inside. The food was good as expected but mostly you can appreciate the decorations while wait for food or after you eat so go around and take some pictures. The staff is uniformed and it seems that some are multitasking between service and entertainment. At times they serve, play merengue instruments and even dance. Coffee is served in a traditional old school way in front of you which is cool. The bill is given in a little shoe shine box which is a cute detail, some of the staff greet or say things in a lingo like decent humble people from the campo 🙂 the prices are fair, patrons dress well so no hood behavior here. My only negative is that the beer was not cold but that could be a thing of one day so don't take my word for it. Nice place for a date or for the family.

Great food and service, the setting is like home away from home. They have a nice show of dancing and music for the customers. Great place to visit.

This Restaurant is a little gem. So beautifully decorated, the food is really good, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The Piña Colada, the appetizers, and the entres were all very tasty.

Authentic Dominican food, at a great price. Good ambience and service. Definitely recommended if you are visiting Santo Domingo. Best homemade style coffee!!

Cute place! It felt like I was in someone's country home :) We were a party of 6 adults and 1 child. Order: Fried Sampler Platter to share (Chicharron, Tostone, Yuca Fries, Sweet Potato Fries and Chorizo) 3 plates of whole Fish Locrio de Arenque (so good!) Steamed fish in Banana Leaf (was OK, hubby liked it though) Eggplant Carpaccio.

Went there for an early dinner, good ambience, menu seems great but they were out of almost half the items. They didn't have cocktails, didn't have white rice, didn't have the grilled fish and only had three of the eight desserts. Left disappointed, especially after seeing all the other great reviews...

This has got to be the best Dominican restaurant we tried in Santo Domingo! I forgot the food that we ordered, but all were good, and their Chinola mojito is to die for! Easily a 5 out 5 rating from me.

Loved it! Service is amazing food is amazing and atmosphere is beautiful. Can’t wait to return:))

Make sure you allocate enough time to enjoy the whole experience because this place is fantastic. There's live performance, artisanal coffee made at your table, and more. Casandra was the best, taking care of our large group. We had a great time thanks to you! Gracias comai!

I recently dined this delightful tipico restaurant and was thoroughly impressed! The authentic flavors, warm ambiance, and attentive service made for a memorable experience. Every criollo dish showcased the chef's skill and dedication to delivering an exceptional culinary journey. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic Dominican flavor in a welcoming setting. ¡Muy delicioso!

Very good food! Make sure u download your translation app, because no one speaks English... I love the decor. I love that there's a guard outside. Prices were very reasonable. And the drinks were strong...The bathroom was very clean!!

Great choice the staff was sweet and nice we got seated right away no wait needed the appetizers was delicious and the main course was so mind blowing tasted so fresh and homemade the old man who made our coffee was so welcoming my kids loved their food too . We left very satisfied definitely will be back when I come back to DR

Super rico and tasty, dominican food with rich flavours. The mondogo was so tasty, and the chicharrónes very crispy. Then ended up with a sweet Flan de Coco, that was perfect. Will definitely come again!

If you're looking for a truly authentic Dominican dining experience, look no further than El Conuco in Santo Domingo. This unassuming restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but step inside and you'll be transported to a world of vibrant colors, lively music, and delicious aromas. The menu at El Conuco is a celebration of all the flavors that make Dominican cuisine so unique. Start with a plate of mofongo, a traditional dish made with mashed plantains and served with your choice of meat or seafood. The texture is satisfyingly starchy, and the meat is well-seasoned and juicy. The tostones (twice-fried plantain slices) are crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the yucca fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For your main course, try the chivo guisado (stewed goat), which is tender and flavorful, or the pollo guisado (stewed chicken) with a side of rice and beans. The flavors are rich and complex, with just the right amount of spice to wake up your taste buds. Wash it all down with a cold Presidente beer or a glass of mamajuana, a local drink made with rum, red wine, honey, and herbs. But it's not just the food that makes El Conuco so special. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with colorful murals on the walls, a live band playing merengue and bachata, and friendly staff who will make you feel right at home. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger over your meal, chatting with friends and soaking up the vibrant energy of the Dominican Republic. In a city full of trendy restaurants and international cuisine, El Conuco stands out for its commitment to showcasing the best of Dominican food and culture. It's the kind of place that Anthony Bourdain would have loved – unpretentious, authentic, and full of flavor. If you're in Santo Domingo, make sure to put El Conuco on your list of must-visit restaurants.

Wow, I’m so impressed. These people know what they doing. Everything fits with the theme 👌🏾 exactly the vibe we were looking for. I took my gf there who’s Italian and she was blown away. There’s a tradicional dance performance also in which they include the patrons and it’s such a vibe. Go! You’ll thank me later.

On vacation in DR our friends took us to this restaurant. Food was delicious. The dancers was amazing.

This was our second visit to El Conuco, the first being probably a dozen years ago. We love the entire setup. No dancers on a Tuesday night but the rest of the rustic atmosphere appeals to us. The service by Miguel was great. He knew the menu and made suggestions. Service with a smile. The salmon and chicken meals we chose were very good. Portions were just right. We skipped appetizers and dessert. On Sundays between noon and 3 they serve a buffet. One of our favorite restaurants. Would highly recommend.

awesome food. if you want to see entertainment look on website. they have ac just reserve that area

Great restaurant that highlights the beautiful Dominican culture. The waiters were super friendly. I had the sancocho and a cesar salad and they were to die for! Highly recommend

Great food and staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was charming. There is a big tree in the back of the restaurant. I got the sancocho, and it was delicious. Prices are a little bit on the high end, so be prepared to spend the same as night out in the United States.

We had a lunch buffet here as a tour group. The food and the service are okay.

A nice place on a quiet street. Food and service were excellent, with good prices. Worth a visit

Great restaurant with great typical Dominican food and atmosphere. The food was excellent and more than we could eat. The servers were friendly and treated us like family would go again and would recommend everyone one go. The mondongo was one of the best I ever eaten the chicharon and mofongo were excellent as Welles the location is close to the malecón but if you don’t know where it’s at you may get lost if you take Uber it may leave you a block away,

Great place to try traditional Dominican Food. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced. The decor is lively and beautiful. If this is your first time in Santo Domingo then El Conuco is a must on your list. You won't regret it.

Food is fairly priced and tasty. Nice atmosphere in a safe and clean neighborhood.

Ambiance and decor were great, authentic Dominican restaurant... music playing in background and the dancers were phenomenal!! Plan on at least an hour wait for your food. I had the spare ribs (with a light sauce) over squash and they were "fall off the bone" tender. My son had the beef steak with rice and it was a little well done and it came out cold. Overall it was a nice experience and we would give it another chance.

Excellent service and staff! Food is delicious and the place is beautiful! Will definitely be back when I’m in DR.

Excellent place to enjoy a nice plate of Dominican Republic. The restaurant is uniquely and originally decorated. The food was exceptional and not too expensive. I loved this place from the first time I stepped in. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the typical dominican cuisine. Nice people and service as well. I definitely want to come back. I recommend to try the Majarete, Coconut Flan, they're incredibly good. Also I ordered a plate called "La Bandera" which was very good as well. This restaurant should be a must visit in your list when visiting Santo Domingo. Excellent. 5/5.
