When we first arrived there was only one other guest seated in a large outdoor restaurant while most people were eating at the place next door. Our waiter was nice and attentive but we were waiting for long periods of time while the waiters stood around (which is fine because there wasn’t really anyone there). I’m general, the food was really good. The tinga chicken was amazing and the barbacoa was also a highlight. Generally fun experience with some really good tacos.

Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Since I eat Gluten Free, she verified with the cook that the corn tortillas were “sin trigo” (without wheat). We both got steak tacos (three) which were excellent and came with avocado & cilantro. We ordered guac & chips for an appetizer which were also quite good (generous serving of guac but my husband wished there was more salsa so maybe ask for a second). We ate there twice. and we’d recommend this place!

We just came for a quick bite to eat. The nachos were delicious. The service, for the most part looked great, but the woman taking care of us was very indifferent & mostly sat at the bar while the rest of the staff was hustling to take care of everyone.

Wacamole was just ok for the prices. As a vegetarian, I thought I'd have decent options at a Mexican restaurant. I got the chilaquiles (very dry and plain - I live in San Diego so I know what chilaquiles are supposed to be like) and a passion fruit mojito (overly sweet) and paid USD 25 for the two items. The decor is cool but the food is meh.

The most disgusting filth coming out of the speakers. Every single word was a curse word and it was barely 8pm. Families with children got up and left. Older people were disgusted. When the DJ was requested to change it he just cranked it up even more. If this is their brand of customer service I would suggest people avoid it. I wouldn’t even walk by it. Disgusting.

We were excited to go to that place for dinner because of the recommendations we saw, but we left very disappointed. They were broadcasting the super bowl, we asked them to turn up the volume on several occasions but we kept listening to the music of the place, because they said that it was not possible to turn up the volume, the food was not that tasty and we asked the waitress several questions about recommendations on the menu and we just she moved his shoulders. The price is high for the amount of food

So if you’ve ever had tad tacos in Texas, California, or Mexico, you will be disappointed with the food - you’re just spoiled with good Mexican food. I personally didn’t find the food great and thought there were better options nearby so I took a star off. I took another star off for service. I was super disappointed in our waitress (I believe her name is Miranda), she didn’t really check on us at all. She was constantly outside trying to get customers inside, mind you the entire restaurant was already packed, and she be better off trying to increase her tip. We had to ask for water, Utensils, our order, and on top of that food came out cold, so I knocked another star off. The three remaining stars I think are fine for this establishment as you’re really just coming here for the atmosphere and the drinks.

**We had great food here, there was a nice atmosphere and the service was prompt**
I would however highlight that the prices on the bill do not reflect ‘some’ of the menus given to diners. Whilst our meal was only a marginal amount more than was listed on the menu, it feels somewhat dishonest to be using two separate priced menus.
I happily paid and highlighted the discrepancy when leaving. Initially I was told it was tax (we have been all over DR in the last 2 weeks), however, it was the base price that was different. I was then told it was different management and I should’ve been given a separate price list but there wasn’t many of them available? Looking round I couldn’t see any of these updated price lists on tables *but this could just be my experience*. The staff were friendly enough and apologetic over the mixup.
** I would still recommend a visit*** I just hope this issue is resolved soon.
(A drinks menu would also be appreciated)

We’ve passed by the restaurant and decided to stop by for the dinner. While guacamole and quesadilla were ok, tacos were dry and full of onion. The service was terrible, we had to ask several times for menu, drinks, etc, and it took ages to get them. The prices are above average in bavaro, so It’s not $ as stated here.
In short, do not waste your time there, there are a lot of really nice places to dine in.

Our food was great (we had a shrimp ceviche, some guacamole and swordfish carpaccio), and it wasn't as slow as other reviews make it out to be, even though the house was full. Bill ended up at around RD$2100 with non-alcoholic drinks. Our entree (the guacamole) arrived after the main cold dishes, which was a bit of a letdown.
None of the staff was wearing masks. Waiters either had their mask down or didn't have one on at all. Same for the bartender and a dude who looked like he was the owner.
There was a live performance from a Michael Jackson cover artist and it was pretty entertaining, though he was touching guests more than I would be comfortable during a pandemic. There was no hand sanitizer readily available (not sure if they had it on request because I had my own).
If you're not from the US, pay attention to the 28% that will be added to your bill in taxes! Even though there's a "service tax", it doesn't mean it's a tip.

Wacamole has changed ownership in 2020. Now managed by owner/operator Ulysses.
We went to Wacamole at 7:15, group of 11 (6adults, 5 children) and were seated at 7:30.
Ulysses took our drink/apps order and brought it out at 8:00PM.
At 8:10, we called him to order dinner and he said the kitchen is closed as restaurant cannot serve food past 9:00 (Covid curfew rules).
But he never told us when we arrived about the kitchen closing at 8:10 nor did he inform us at 7:30 when seating us to place dinner order.
We were simply flabbergasted by his incompetence and we had children who were hungry and we had to leave the restaurant without food.
All this while waitresses were busy serving food to other tables to guests who had arrived after us.
PATHETIC SERVICE.
I would not even give them 1-star (that’s the lowest).

We went as a family for some drinks, we ordered 3 frozen margaritas and 1 mojito, the waitress brought us 2 frozen margaritas and the other normal one, we kindly asked her if she could change it for a frozen one to which she replied that it couldn't be done, obviously we were uncomfortable and I asked her to call the manager or manager to which she responded that she was NOT going to do it. The drinks were bad with poor quality alcohol and the customer service I give it a 0/10 don't go! It's a mockery of customers

Disastrous service, very expensive for what they serve and the waiters are super unfriendly.
They gave me back extra money, and the girl came running to me and spoke badly to me about giving me back too much, and once I gave her the money with a very arrogant attitude.
I came a while ago, but I'm not coming back again. Awful.

Arrived 4:45pm was told they opened at 5:00pm. We walked next door and had a great drink and went back at 5:15pm. There was a table of people sitting down to eat and we were told again by the lady at the front that they were NOT open, while basically running away from us. It was myself, husband and 11 month old baby and my parents. We honestly think it was because we had a baby with us that we were refused a table. There was only one table with people and the rest were empty? Therefore we couldn’t tell you how good the food was or anything but thought it was important to tell other people the type of treatment we received. Went to a wonderful Indian restaurant after and had an amazing meal so I guess it all worked out but it was shocking!!

3 small batter fried fish street tacos, 3 small chicken street tacos, Diet Coke = US$17.00.
The fish tacos were doughy and flavorless. Chicken was average. Service was typical DR, no complaints. I won’t be returning.
