When the sun goes down, Santo Domingo becomes one of the best places to discover Dominican street food. On this night food tour, you’ll visit local evening stops and try the kinds of dishes people actually buy after work or during a night out. Expect bold flavors, a lively atmosphere, and a more local side of the city than the usual daytime sightseeing route.

On this small-group experience, you'll visit several local food spots and sample four Dominican favorites: crispy pica pollo, roasted pork leg, cheesy yaroa, and the famous Dominican chimi.

This is a tasting experience, not a full dinner, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors in one evening.

Along the way, you'll visit neighborhoods beyond the usual tourist areas and gain a better understanding of local culture through its food, traditions, and stories.

Many travelers visit Santo Domingo. Far fewer get the chance to eat like a local after dark.

    This is the kind of place many locals visit without thinking twice after work or on the way home. As you enjoy crispy fried chicken served the local way, you'll discover why these neighborhood food businesses became such an important part of daily life. You'll also hear a local joke that every Dominican knows: if there isn't a Chinese owner behind the counter, can it really be considered authentic?

    At first glance, you might think the chimi is the star of the menu. But ask a local and you'll hear a different answer. Many people come here specifically for the roasted pork leg. While you enjoy this Dominican favorite, you'll learn how neighborhood food businesses evolve over the years and become part of everyday life in Santo Domingo.
