- Pabellon Criollo: Traditional shredded beef stew
- Tostones: Fried plantains with sea salt and cayenne
- Cuasacaca: Avocado salsa with fresh pepers and tomatoes
- Black Beans and Rice
- Snapper Criollo: Whole snapper rubbed with spice mix, topped with onions and peppers and baked in banana leaves
