Food was amazing and flavorful. My husband and I are Mexican and the food tastes authentic. We got enchiladas suizas and chilaquiles Pastrata. Steak was great. Best Mexican restaurant in Punta Cana. Cinnamon burritos for desert was very good. Will definitely be back again. Staff...and owner were friendly and had good recommendations. Plenty of parking.More

Possibly the best Mexican food I’ve had. We’re not talking beans and rice, we’re talking fresh, made to order, full of flavor. Great portions, great outside seating, great staff. The owner/chef made his rounds too. We had the weekend special soup, the flautas, and the...enchiladas. The enchilada sauce was my highlight. Fresh tomatillo sauce that I could eat by itself with a spoon. Perhaps a little spicy if you’re sensitive, but I am in love with the sauce.More

We had a late lunch at this nice restaurant in Bavaro in mid-February 2023. The service was very good and included the owner, Pastrata, helping us with our order and chatting to us about our meal. My wife had the fish tacos which were excellent...and I had the chicken fajitas which were very good. The margueritas were also great! Prices were very reasonable.Would definitely recomment and be happy to eat there again in the future.More

Faced with some extremely average food at our resort, we were desperate to go somewhere which would deliver some flavour. Pastrata did not let us down. The guacamole was great, we had a few mains between us to share, all of which were very tasty....Washed down with a couple of really nice margaritas. Well worth the trip!More

I was REALLY looking forward to trying this restaurant but overall it was a huge letdown. Went in on a Sunday afternoon. The waitress looked like she would rather kill me then serve me. Not only no smile, but it was like I did something...to anger her. The coconut shrimp was only ok. Only positive was The passionfruit magarita, which was excellent. I had planned on eating here a lot on my vacation but don't see myself going back.More

Alcoholic drinks were good. Food was delicious; Menu had lots of choices. Service was good. We have learned to go to the restaurants around 5-6pm before the crowds come out and the service is better.
