Rincón Mexicano

Top choice in Dominican Republic


Owned by a Mexican (who does the cooking) and her Dominican husband, this airy, immeasurably pleasant restaurant pumps out authentic Mexican tacos (RD$110), as well as enchiladas, fajitas and the like. Chase it all with excellent margaritas and toast to your good fortune that a place like this exists in San Juan.
