Típico Bonao North — Restaurant in La Hispaniola

This place is amazing. If I could give it seven stars, I would do it. They exceed in every aspect of what you can expect for a restaurant of this kind which serves great typical Dominican food. The service by Candy was outstanding, the whole atmosphere was unforgettable, the food presentation was beautiful and they took care of a lot of details, the facility looks clean and welcoming. As in many public places in the DR, there was a security guard to watch for the cars and belongings in the parking lot. I asked him what were two delineated circles at the back of the parking lot and he said that they are two helipads. Yes, some clients arrive here in helicopters. There is an additional space behind a line of bushes and there is enough space to land bigger than usual helicopters. The prices were reasonable. Thus is the same place were a few years ago I saw Pedro Martínez and he gave me his autograph. Since then, the place is still going strong and I am happy to be able to stop there on my way to the north of the DR and eat such...

ATENTO Y OBSERVAN el servício aquí. Most of the Food is good, service not too great... You would expect when you are seated that someone takes your order in a timely fashion... Then you would expect the table be properly set, napkins, utensils... I've been here several times, but on this recent visit, none of this happen, wait staff defended their actions of lack of attention on claims that everyone is treated the same. Well, then if true, that's not good. Altho it's an open atmosphere, can still be hot at your table... Drinks are not listed anywhere in the menu... Once the food arrived, which took a glance at wait staff again... My order, cordón bleu w fried yuca could of used a bit more sauce... The goat meat (chivo) was salty.... At this point I would suggest a lot other better locations w an ample menu and better service. During the meal, wait staff did not pass by to do a customary, how's everything going. This is not what it use to be. 👎🏻I'm being generous w the ratings....

I am taking time out of my vacation to share the awful experience I had at this place. I went there on August 30th, 2021 around 12:30. It took the waitress 42 minutes to come to our table! We were starving so I asked if there was anything that we could order right away. I ordered rice, beans, and goat. It took them a whopping 23 minutes to bring this plate to the table. So I go to this place to eat Dominican food and they bring me canned beans? The goat tasted like absolutely nothing and I left it intact. The waitress asked if I didn’t like it. Well, the proof was before her eyes. I just ate the rice because I was hungry. I had to beg them to charge my card but I ended up using my cash to pay 2,700 pesos for something that I didn’t even eat. Not even the cashiers functions properly. Terrible food and abysmal service is what this place has to offer. If I were not on vacation I would really share in detail my experience...
