  1. Los Tres Golpes

The classic breakfast staple served as Mangú, fried salami genoa, and Fried Queso. Mangú is made from mashed plantain. Make em green or ripped, I prefer the green plantain.

4. La Fiesta

There is always a party going on the island, I would be worried if there wasn’t. And with the party comes the party entrees. Asopao, Chivo Picante, Sancocho, Pastellon, Casabe con maní, Ron Brugal o Barceló.

I can get into the specifics of these plates in another post. I gotcha, no worries.
