If you’re looking to eat fresh fish, grilled dorado filet and tuna in a Mediterranean sauce are fantastic options. La Casita de Papi offers an Angus steak and a chicken roast with a mushroom sauce for the meat lovers out there. All main courses come with a side of pasta, rice, or potatoes.

Local tip: Since the restaurant is located on the beach, street vendors may try to sell you some of their merchandise. If you don’t want to buy anything, just say “no, gracias” (no, thank you), and they will move on. However, sometimes street vendors sell really cool stuff! Our favorite things to buy: dulces de almendra, a sweet made with nuts, and Dominican cacao, which we use to make a healthy hot chocolate on a rainy day.

The Secret Sauce
The most popular options at La Casita de Papi are lobsters or shrimp “a la papi,” cooked in a delicious thick sauce. The fun part is that no one knows the ingredients of this signature sauce! It is hearty and resembles a curry, but otherwise, it remains a mystery.
The seafood is served in a large cooking dish, smothered in sauce, with a side dish of your choice and a breadbasket. We are obsessed with it, and we think you will be too!
