Vey pleasant, Clean restaurant food was vey good in my opinion, the food was just right as far as taste, the food was not salty, in which a lot of Spanish restaurants, seems to be across the board…will return.
Food is okay, just too salty. The beans don’t even taste like real beans, taste like adobo. Not healthy.
Wont be coming here again..! I been ordering take out for the past year and a half. The rice is very dry, the beans sauce is different, chicken is dry, etc. The food is not the same as it used to be. Prices went up as well!
If I could give this zero stars today I would . I normally don’t like to write reviews , however I ordered 2x this week and the food was disgusting. The Pernil dish I ordered I was sent home with a container full of fat . The yellow rice and beans , I received balls of rice in a container with zero flavor . See pics attached . The beans I received was old and had a sour taste . Praying We don’t get sick tonight . I used to eat at this place every week . This restaurant used to be so great and seems like the last 2month they have new workers or change of owner . The quality of the food now has really gone down hill unfortunately. Super disappointment!! I will not be retuning . Sorry I tried a second time this week .
Best Dominican take out within a 30 mile radius. Others nearby have let us down, but this is legitimate great Dominican food quality with excellent Sazón. Pernil! Let’s go!
My husband and I have ordered from Punta Cana since they opened in Oceanside. Usually everything is delicious. Recently, maybe the past 3-4 times we have ordered from there, the food has been pretty terrible. Either made wrong or too greasy. Tonight we ordered from them and they took over an hr to deliver, was nearly impossible to get through the phone, and the food was cold and the beans looked like they were dropped straight from the can. Very disappointed and will not be ordering from them again.
The baked chicken was not good at all, it had a bad taste,look like had been cooked for several days, unfortunately I had to throw it away along with the green bean moro, we could only eat the salad. Im sorry but it wasnt good
New ownership- super nice and friendly staff. Food is delicious, no matter what you order! They are extremely accommodating and very patient when you are getting to learn the menu!!!
Punta Cana Oceanside is one of our favorite restaurants primarily for take out. Dominican food is delicious and Punta Cana is one of the best weve ever found. The family meals are generous and flavorful. The selection is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is one of our go to places guaranteed to please both the adults and the kids. You will not be disappointed ever!!!
Overpriced, didnt get everything I ordered to go, I dont know if I was charged for it because their receipt is not itemized. When I got home and tasted the food, i wouldnt recommend it, however I drove past it and they have a sign that says theyre hiring, looking for a chef....
DELICIOUS DELICIOUS food! I love pork shoulder. Their juices are fantastic. Absolutely recommend this cozy restaurant. Staff is very nice. Go and check it out!
My family and I went for an afternoon lunch after a long day at the pool, and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!! It tasted like home! I ordered the Bistec Encebollado with yellow rice and beans. The flavor was amazing, properly seasoned, and I ate way more than what fit in my belly because it was *that great*. The Morir Soñando was also fabulous & refreshing. I highly recommend bringing the whole family here. EVERY DISH IS AMAZING.
First time there under the new management. Unfortunately, it will be my last. The back entrance is filthy, smells bad as you walk in - still decided to give it a shot. Staff is friendly. There’s a fish tank in the entrance, poor fish. The water is a dark green color and miraculously the fish are still alive. That’s probably the smell. I ordered chicharrón (pork rind) and the piece was incredibly small. The food is overpriced and for the size of the plate definitely not worth it. I asked for an itemized receipt because I was taken aback by the total. It too the staff over 5 mins to write out the receipt. Sadly, it is the only local Dominican restaurant in Oceanside. I definitely do not recommend.
Delivery took a long time. The lady doesn’t speak English or understand in Spanish. Messed my order up twice. Didn’t include my drinks. When I called back to ask about them, she said they didn’t have any. Curtesy call would of been nice. Will not be getting food here in the future :(
They have excellent Dominican food. The ribs and yuca were amazing. The placeIs small but comfortable. I cam on Friday afternoon and might be back during the week. Clean, fresh food and cheap. What else do you need?
Save yourself from this tasteless, soulless food and go elsewhere, this is not the Dominican food you are looking for. We placed a number of orders, ranging from boneless chicken to roast pork. Well the boneless chicken were authentic Chicken tenders, the roast pork tasted like it was cooked in a slow cooker using liquid smoke.
I usually pay $6 for a small meal ( container/ marmitex ) takeout! The greedy short Spanish lady ripped me off charging $8.75, I said It’s $6, why did you charge me $8.75, she said because she put a tbs spoon of potato salad! Disgusting attitude! Never again!
Best food ever! Small family owned restaurant. I love it and I know you will also. Service is wonderful and they are very friendly. I dont cook anymore since I found this place. Hi hi. :- )
I love the food but I’ve found hair in it a couple of times. Didn’t complain because I know that heat kills germs. I still get food from them when I don’t feel like cooking the food myself. I’m Hispanic and know every Puerto Rican or Dominican recipe that’s popular. One hair is not enough to stop me from going there. One more time and I will call health department.
Great dinner from Punta Cana last night. Everything was delicious and fresh. Super nice staff. Try the smoothies, they’re amazing!!
Ordered through Uber eats and was told by the restaurant that the application is wrong and not configured correctly so our order was missing items. Good food just need to correct the problem in ordering online...
My coworkers and I ordered food from that place through their website. Not only the food was tasteless and horrible, the presentation was even worst. I only had a few bites and threw the food in the carbage. I have to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Whatever they have on their website thats not what youre getting.
Excellent food, clean establishment, but REALLY incompetent/indifferent service. Id say I just got a bad server (never brought water despite my asking three times, never checked in on how my meal was, didnt say thanks when she brought the check, etc, etc, etc) on a bad night, but when I walked in none of the people behind the counter even bothered to make eye contact, much less greet me.Ill probably go back because the food was delicious, but Id be hard pressed to recommend it or go out of my way for Punta Cana again. Its certainly not a place to bring a date, coworkers, or a family.
We recently bought a house in Long beach and have been searching for authentic Hispanic food. This is your place. Great selection and prices. Im in the food business so appreciate good food.
This place serves very good Dominican food. If you want the liver steak, call ahead. Ask whats been made recently. Everything is delicious. Would recommend.
Excellent customer service. Food was delicious good portions too. We will add to one of our favorite spots.
I went there with a friend last night to try out the place. After standing at the counter for over ten minutes being ignored by the three young ladies behind the counter I had to go out of my way to get the attention of one who came by the counter. I was then told they did not have the dish on the menu that I wanted to order. I do not know how the food is, and I wont be back
This is the third time we orded from here..usually good. But this time very dry and no flavor at all. The chicken was over cooked a
Like most of the great food establishments, the place is quite small but the food is great and the prices are very comfortable. The grill chicken its tender and juicy not dry. The flavor is a plus.
UNSANITARY, UNSAFE FOOD!!!!!!By far the worst restaurant ever. I had food delivered and their was BLOOD on the napkins they provided. I called the restaurant and the representative continued to deny it. They offered no resolution and took no accountability. I will not recommend this place to my worst enemy.
Wonderful food and wonderful staff. Delivered hot delucious food to the hospital. Helped my mom get her strength back with pleasure. Thank you. Hint: get the beef stew😁😁😁
Food was very good and flavorful! I ordered to go but the place looked clean and the people behind the counter was very friendly.
Food is great.. Horrible Service... Lack of Staff... And Experience.. They look like a bunch of chickens with there heads cut off....Sorry to say
Amazing food! They have a good steak and they have very good fried yuca. This is a amazing place. I reccomend going to it.
Good Latin food. Also make fresh orders if you are willing to wait. Family friendly table service when eating in.
Delicious,tasty food!!! And affordable prices!! I always get 1lb. Of pernil and 1lb of ribs( costillitas) qué Rico.Very friendly environment.
Took a big order a week before a large party on 9/2/17. Paid a $200 deposit but food was never delivered. Went to location and the restaurant is closed. My Aunt is out $200 and very upset.
One of our favorite restaurants. Delicious food, very friendly staff. Clean place!
I would not recommend this place to anyone the food was horrible and greasy as all hell. I wish I could give them zero stars.
After waiting for long time, I received the wrong order, the restaurant manager or owner argued that the rice with gandules is served with red beans!!!Sucked.
Wasn’t worth the money. Pork chops were DRY, chicken tasted like rubber, chicken and rice was bland.
Used to be great food but now theyre under new management and theyre not so great anymore.. sucks that theyre the only spanish joint around
Food is great and the service is also good. Highly recommend the ribs specially from the middle the bone comes clean off!!
Great place great food good mangu and Morongo typical dominican 🇩🇴 dishes 🤤👌🏼

Great place to be, it is beautiful and the people there was very friendly and accommodating.
They have to improve the service in terms of delivery and pay more attention because you order a meal and it lasts two hours to arrive

2022-04-20We went yesterday with a large party around 9 pm. (Which is very late for a restaurant to accommodate us with a smile) this was not the case here.The service was awesome. They all were very friendly and fast. The food was made to order, fresh and delicious . We all went home with full bellies and leftovers for tomorrow.Thank you.

2022-07-09Update for 7/5/2022 visit…As someone who has frequented this establishment enough times in the 4+ years living in Long Island and consider most employees acquaintances if ever seen in the street, with a broken heart will say, I will no longer step foot inside and or recommend this establishment.I was directly overcharged and while I gave the man whom attended me that evening a chance to correct his ego with common sense, he decided to defend his error. I paid what was asked as I am not one to make a stir but, knew the blatant greed was incorrect.I reached out to the manager that very night to make aware of what had just happened; no resolve received (today is 7/9) Therefore, making my decision in providing this review as I am likely not the only one this man has decided to fraud and disrespect.

2022-05-07This place is way over priced. Workers look like they just make up numbers in their heads... ordered stew chicken and it was so dark you can barely see the chicken. I asked why is it so dark. She grabbed a large spoon to stir it and made it even darker. Stew chicken is normally light and you can see the potatoes and carrots. It was dark brown like if they havent changed the oil in a while...very disappointed wont be going there again. Unfortunately they are the local Spanish food place but I rather take a ride to Freeport for half the price and better quality food/ dinner!

2022-04-22We visited this place for a few times and we love their dishes. The chicharron de cerdo is our frequent order and it was soooo gooodd..then a few days ago they posted Raboo Oxtail on Facebook and we jump in our car and run into their restaurant and pick up some. Sooo good too.. everyone is nice and helpful. Keep it up and see you soon again.

2022-02-04I have been ordering from this place because the food is good. The problem are the people who prepare the deliveries. Everytime, i asked for hot sauce or salsa picante but they never send it. Also, last week they forgot to send the mixed vegetables and plantain with my order. And today, they sent me chicken instead of roast pork. I spoke with the owner and he said he was going to send the roast pork when the delivery driver comes back but i have been waiting over an hour now for it. I called them and found out it hasn’t even been sent and the manager who even asked for my phone number is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, we are hungry and have no idea if they will ever bring the food! This is the last time I’m going to order from this place!Feb. 3, 2022 -Reordered from this place because my gf wanted their grilled salmon. I ordered stuffed fillet with yellow rice, grilled salmon with sweet plantain and fried calamari. The grilled salmon came with white rice and 2 small pieces of plantain which were not even ripe, the fillet wasn’t stuffed and drowning in what looked like melted margarine and the calamari was like a dollar each for $9. I called them 3 times and each time they said they were going to check with their boss but they never called back. The person i spoke with even hanged up the phone. Their food is decent but the staff are all dumb and the boss is rude. Didn’t bother correcting their mistakes.

2021-09-24Food in this place is absolutely amazing, comfort food at its finest. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I’ve catered from them numerous times for family events. Great reviews from my family members. The closest to home cooking I’ve come across in a while
