I am Dominican and I approve this message! Long time Wolters World fan here. OMG super excited to see this video (a special second video just for the food)!! All my favorite foods here. And you featured Barcelo rum over Brugal. I love that! Barcelo rum is the preferred rum of us Cibaenos!! After seeing these EXPERT tips I know all of Mark’s other videos must be super accurate and superb. Thank you for now doing Latin American videos in addition to Europe. Thank you for visiting the DR!
Thanks for the video!! There’s a funny “urban legend” about Mangu. When the US occupied DR in the 1916, they tried the mashed plantains and said: “Man (this is) good” and from there we got the name: man-gu
Was pleasantly surprised to see mangú on the menu at McDonald's in Santo Domingo 🎉 Regarding tipping, some waiters are only paid by tips; there is no base pay. Please tip!
Nice I was in Punta Cana just a few hours ago. Had monfongo for lunch at the little restaurant and shop village near the airport and Alex had the sancocho
