Restaurant Los Robles Review

On a Friday night this Malecón eatery is abuzz, and not just from the drone of the motor scooters. Patrons watch sports on the TV out on the patio; a pizza oven in the corner spits out orders to go, while a grill turns out simple dishes like shrimp or chicken breast on a wooden board with fries or tostones. "Loaded" grilled sandwiches are man-size (and available 24 hours). This rough and rustic joint tries to please everyone, and it often does. It's best known for mofongo (of many varieties like chicken, lobster, and lambi). Asopao, a thick soup with rice, comes with shellfish. The good news is that tax is included in prices, and a Presidente is only RD$60. The bad news is the cleanliness, which leaves something to be desired.
