  2/25/25—-they take credit cards now 💳💳💳nnI decided to try a Dominican breakfast, but I wanted a place with a good ambiance where I could sit and enjoy the Tres Golpes breakfast with mangú. I had been craving this meal because when I visited Puerto Plata and went to Cayo Levantado in the Dominican Republic, I arrived too late for breakfast, and I had to return to my cruise the same day on the explora 1 . MSC so I didn’t try breakfast there only lunch !
  
  I chose La Gran Parada after reading that they now accept credit and debit cards, as well as the usual cash—something they didn’t do for years. Because of this, I’ve only visited once every ten years. When I walked in, Las Chicas del Can was playing in the radio . Unlike Colombian restaurants, where the staff greets you with a smile, here, the first thing you hear is, “What do you want?” But I didn’t let that bother me. The staff isn’t expecting a tip, so there’s no real incentive to go above and beyond and people usually if they don’t own the business will never go beyond and above cause you know they don’t have to pay overhead .
  
  This restaurant has been around for years, and I’ve always liked how it looks. As for the coffee—it’s passable. I had amazing coffee in the DR, but here, not so much. It’s drinkable, but imagine if they invested in a proper latte machine. A secondhand one would probably cost around $500–700, and it could really make a difference, it would be a nice changennAnyway, the breakfast was great. If you come here expecting friendly service, don’t. But if you don’t mind that, you’ll survive.
  
  This is not how people in the Dominican Republic are—the restaurant I visited people were very courteous, and in turned got great tips from us . Allowing employees to accept individual tips makes a big difference, rather than using a tip jar where everyone gets the same amount. I don’t agree with that system. If you treat me well, I’ll give you a good tip—that’s just how I am.
  
  That being said, the food here is great, and the place looks clean. Since it was morning, there was no rush, which made for a nice, relaxed experience.

  Fantastic. I loved it! We would definitely come back. The food was great. It’s like Chipotle style ordering where you come down the line with them and choose what you’d like. The stew beef was amazing. It was pretty busy but the line moves quickly.
  
  Fun atmosphere. Lively music. Great portion sizes. Plenty of staff working. We were served fast. Most of the staff have minimal English but they were able to talk about the food easily in English.
  
  Plenty of seating. Large parking lot in the back, accessible by bus and there are bike lanes all around as well.
  
  We split a plate for two and had leftovers for around $22. You can pay on card but they don’t accept tips that way so you need to remember to bring a little cash if you like them!

  We were in Providence for the day and had heard good things about this place. It was busy when we arrived. Mostly with take out. You make a line to order. Then, they brought our food over. The server was very nice and attentive. The food was very good. The only thing was the bathroom. They need a place to hold the toilet paper. They have it on the sink.

  The food here is tasty and you definitely get a bang for your buck. We all had leftovers! Whenever I’m in the area, I’ll be back!
  
  There’s street parking available, however the restaurant has a parking lot! You pick your food from the buffet like arrangement and choose your seat. The employees are friendly, the music was bussin’; all in all a good vibe and authentic Dominican food!

  This was our first time at this restaurant, with this said, I am giving it four (4) stars because of their setting that I wasn't expecting, line set up (make a line, place your order for take out/dining in - specify).
  
  If you're taking out, this is an ideal place.
  
  If you plan on dining in, personally, I wouldn't do it again, however, I would definitely order take out!
  
  Food is delicious, atmosphere is nice with music. Overall, very nice.
  
  The customer service was awesome. Just keep in mind that the bill is verbally given to you and then they give you a receipt.
  
  We ordered non alcoholic beverages. I did not see any beer/alcoholic beverages in their menu/displayed in their refrigerators.
  
  If you wish to give gratuity, it has to be in cash.
  
  It was busy on a Saturday afternoon. At the time of this review, their (restaurant's) parking lot was not opened for customers. I believe there was construction going on (not sure though), there was yellow tape around it🙂 It wasn't anything bad though..
