Pastelitos and Empanadas

These small but tasty stuffed pastries are filled with beef, chicken, cheese or other savory fillings and made with yucca flour or corn flour. The empanadas are deep fried and is simply a great tasting snack, worth every penny. Just beware that these are no where like the Taco Bell Empanadas found in the Americans - a cheap rip off from the real thing.

Tostones

These are fried plantains that have been cut and then fried. Afterwards, these are then flattened like pancakes and then fried again - making a tasty treat for someone that want to munch on something. These are very much like the fried plantains style found in India but beware of the oil levels as it may be unhealthy for you.

Coconut Water

These coconuts are made in large varieties, shapes, styles and colors but one thing is true, if you are tired from your day's activities, the heat or from simply running around, then nothing beats the power of coconut juice to refresh your weary soul. These are sold practically in every tropical nation in this world but more ripe coconuts have tastier juice and a ripe inside to eat with a spoon - an amazing tropical experience.

Chimichurris

This is the Dominican burger made from pork cuts in between a bun with your choice of sandwich ingredients. Simply tasting and quickly fills you up for an inexpensive amount.

Quipes

This can be found on every street corner in the Dominican Republic, but basically it is made of wheat and your choice of stuffed meat.
