Food in Sosua

Well so far I have seen little in the way of local food, mostly tourist places serving German or Italian food. I went to Las Chamaricas (?) twice today. There are plenty of cafeterias and every one of them was closed. I was there around 2 PM and again around 8. I ended up having some fried chicken and spaghetti that had probably been sitting there all day.

Where can you get rice and beans, or empanadas or even fresh pineapples?

It's right along the main road close to the supermarket. it's across from the bomba. They sell alot of the local food. Mangu, fried chicken, coleslaw salad, plantaine, rice with bean sauce. I notice alot of the locals go there to eat. They got some other food there that i don't know what it's called. The price is cheap too. You can eat like a champ for under $200 pesos.

You can eat like a champ for 60-80 pesos.

Take a walk on the beach. All the Dominicans eat between 11 and 1. They get their food from little kitchens BEHIND the bars and restaurants. A lot of restaurants serve food that's prepared in these same kitchens. Buy a fresh caught fish and have them make some pago frito w/ ensalada& tostados. Any problem? The brittania pub. They have a " dominican lunch special " every day that's amazing. Don't linger. No matter how they try by 12:30 it's all gone. Any time you see a sign for san cocho stop.
I agree though, it's not easy to find traditional dominican food. Most of Sosua caters to the tourists not the Dominicans.
