The best restaurants La Vega

One of the house specialties is mofongo, a typical Puerto Rican plantain dish. People come from all over town to enjoy it on the covered terrace with its colorful tables. The other is grilled meats, a la parilla. Also soups, pasta, marinated or filleted fish. And a few coconut desserts to end on a sweet note. The menu is varied, so there's something for everyone. A warm, Dominican atmosphere. El Zaguan is one of La Vega's finest restaurants.

On the side of the road towards Jarabacoa, this little western-style bar is known in the region for its ribs, smoked pork ribs in the Texan style. Just take a look at the barbecue and you'll see that this is serious business. The beautiful ribs are presented in the window (with smoked chicken and a few side dishes, including excellent banana leaf tamales ). You choose the quantity and it's off to pure happiness. But you have to be a meat lover, of course... Top service.
