We tried the platter, and everything was absolutely delicious! The empanadas were amazing too. Additionally, the people were really nice and the service was great. All in all, a memorable experience. We will definitely be going back often

Sheeeeesh. If I'd known how good the food would taste, I'd have made the trek out a lot sooner!This place is a cute little bus deal with lots of comfy, shaded outdoor seating too. They were playing some Caribbean-themed music when I walked up and it sounded great!One awesome thing about this place is the online ordering system! It was fast, easy, descriptive, and pretty user friendly - you can even use Apple Pay. Especially helpful in retrospect since when I got there I realized the workers didn't speak a huge amount of English, and sadly I speak even less Spanish. So I'm super thankful I could order online to ensure I could get what I wanted and experience such delicious food!I placed my order for pickup at 12:15 and they had it bagged and handed to me by 12:17, so can't complain there. Don't forget to grab your canned drink from the mini fridge by the window.I ordered the stewed chicken with rice and pigeon peas and sweet plantains. I also got a beef empanada to try. All of it was great! The weakest link was the empanada, for me - I'm nit picking here, but the beef inside was a little on the sweet side, and combined with the mayo/ketchup dipping sauce, it was just a little over sweet.That being said, I still ate and enjoyed most of it!Everything else...was so freaking good. The stewed chicken absolutely melted off the bone, super savory and tender and just a little fatty. The rice and peas had SO MUCH flavor you could eat and enjoy it on its own; combined with a hunk of chicken, though, and it was sublime. The sweet plantains were soft, very slightly acidic, and of course, sweet!The only thing I'd ask for is perhaps the option to substitute fried plantains as a side instead of sweet ones (currently you have to order them as an additional side). This is, again, a minor nitpick and much more of a wish than a criticism.Overall, absolutely outstanding food! Worth the drive out from Huntsville, absolutely. Give them a try!

Amazing! Our first time here and the food was incredible. We got the plantain chicken sandwich with plantain chips, stewed pork with white rice, black beans and potato salad. The best international food we've had in the Huntsville area! Give it a try; you will not be disappointed! Great job Punta Cana Caribbean Restaurant!

The food is outstanding and on my second visit in one week, I figured out why. Mama's in the kitchen and boy can you taste the LOVE!

First time eating here. Been wanting to stop by for awhile and try it out. I love trying different ethnic foods.My wife and I enjoyed what we ordered. #2 & #4. Plus 2 orange Fantas. Straight up Caribbean food. Loved it. We sat outside with the sun shining, light breeze blowing, trees swaying, Dominican music playing and 2 plates full of food.For a moment, it reminded me of our times in Miami and the Keys. The nice lady that prepared our food was very sweet and smiled a lot. Such a pleasant experience.I recommend this place if you want to try something different and with taste.Will visit again.Mike and Shannon.

Such a cool place to eat! The Mashed Plantain Chicken Sandwich is delicious!! And you can either get it to go or eat inside their bus diner! It was really cold outside, but stepping inside the bus hit me with a sudden warmth it was lovely!

This little hidden gem is worth a try. Their plates are rather large and the food taste like traditional grandma’s carribean cooking. The meats were tender and the empanadas were my favorite.

The food is amazing! Service excelente

This place is amazing! I wouldn't change a thing about the quality/quantity of food, given the fairly modest price. I've had cheap Caribbean food and high-end Caribbean food, and this is the perfect in-between. And it's conveniently located, with nothing else like it nearby. Most of the food seems cooked to order, because they give different wait times depending on your order. I've only tried this place twice now, but I plan on becoming a regular and trying everything on the menu, as I'm sure it's all great.

Walking distance from my house. Excellent food. Location is noisy. Ambiance not so good- traffic is a problem.

My wife and I tried this place for the first time today. Wow!! This is delicious Dominican food. You must try the Plantain Chicken Sandwich, unbelievably good! The owners are super nice!!! Service is exceptional as well. 100% be a regular here.Please Huntsville/Madison, let's patronize this place. We are so lacking in cultural foods in this area. We've already lost Cuban Cafe, we can't afford to lose another.

The stewed chicken with rice and beans were delicious. My kids loved the empanadas also.

Kimberly Greene

Food is fresh & the service is fast. The meat is always so tender & juicy.

Berta Amador

Unsatisfied customer. I keep giving this place a chance. 4th time ordering food and I never get my order how I ordered it despite speaking the same language. I've ordered 3 pieces of Pollo guisado just to get home to be disappointed with only 2. They forget to add the extra piece but don't forget to charge it. The food is good but pricey. I won't be back again, highly disappointed.

We had a recommendation to try Punta Cana and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing. We both tried the sampler platter and everything was delicious. The meat was so flavorful and tender and rice and beans were so good. We will definitely be back.
