Comedor Pastelería Mimosa - Typical Dominican
Mimosa - When you see a restaurant that is filled with the locals you have to try it out yourself. Nothing fancy but they serve great typical Dominican fare including the daily plato del día/ plate of the day (what is the plate of the day you may ask, La Bandera of course) They also have fresh baked goods available and are open early for the breakfast crowd but not for dinner. Their goat anything (stew, guisada, braised) is worth a try.
