As the sun sets, Santo Domingo reveals a different side of its food culture. This experience takes you beyond restaurants and into a residential area where locals eat every day.

You’ll walk through real streets and visit small food spots that have been serving for years, places you wouldn’t find on your own. Each stop is selected based on personal experience, not tourist popularity.

During the tour, you’ll try four essential Dominican street foods: pica pollo, pork leg, yaroa, and chimi. These dishes are fast, filling, and built for real life — often eaten late in the evening after work or social gatherings.

Along the way, you’ll learn how these foods are prepared, why certain ingredients are used, and how street conditions influence cooking techniques, speed, and hygiene.

This is a small group experience (max 4 guests), designed to keep it flexible, personal, and easy to follow.

Come hungry — portions are real, and this is how locals actually eat.

What's Included

Try pica pollo, pork leg, yaroa, and chimi—crispy fried chicken, chopped roasted pork, layered fries with meat and cheese, and a grilled sandwich, all prepared fast for everyday street eating.
