","info":"Santiago de los Caballeros has a varied gastronomy preceded by cultures such as the Taino indians, African slaves, and the Spaniards who remained since the conquest. Guanimos are among the most recognized dishes in the area, consisting of corn dough stuffed with meat and sauce, and wrapped in corn husks, much like the Mexican tamales. You will also find the Chambre, a thick broth made with meat, vegetables, rice, and beans; its origins date back to the habit of mixing the remaining ingredients of previous meals. Don’t miss the Moro de habichuelas, consisting of red beans and rice seasoned with spices, usually accompanied by beef or pork. You will find Yaroa vendors throughout Santiago; it is a quick dish made with ground beef, chicken, tomato sauce, and grated Danish cheese.
Rum is an important part of life in Santiago de los Caballeros, and it is usually prepared with natural water to enjoy its taste, or just with ice. Also, you will find varieties of cocktails prepared with this distillate. Another beverage widespread throughout the island that you cannot miss is the Mabí, a fermented drink made from sugar and Colubrina fruit, a shrub commonly found in the Caribbean, whose fruit is mainly sweet with slight a bitter taste; it can have a laxative effect.
Desserts are essential on the tables of Santiago de los Caballeros; you can end your meals with a Majarete, a creamy corn sweet with sugar and cinnamon; or Chulitos, which are fried balls made from cassava paste that can be stuffed with meat or other ingredients.
Visitors in Santiago de los Caballeros have recommended going to Kukara Macara, which offers a quiet environment and views of the historic area; or El Carrito de Marchena, with easy access and a familiar ambiance.
