La Yola-tastes good to tourists and locals!

A great dining spot on the water is the best when you are on vacation and want to enjoy a nice dinner. Do not worry about having to be a guest of the Punta Cana Resort and Club...La Yola welcomes everyone that comes here hungry.

I dined at La Yola in Punta Cana one night....a great decision on my part. What is really cool is the different combinations of foods they use in their dishes. I had the Baked Berenjena for a starter. Berenjena means eggplant in Spanish. The Baked Berejena is eggplant, aurora sauce, mozzarella cheese and sweet plantains baked together in one dish. I thought this combo sounded strange, but I am so glad I gave this a try. It could have been my entree too. The cheese was like the hub of the dish that linked all the ingredients together. It tasted a little Italian inspired.

I am a big shrimp fan so I got the Jumpo Shrimp of course. The shrimp as HUGE, grilled, and had the right amount of drizzled oil. I've always had shrimp solo, but here it was served on top of mashed potatoes. Again, I thought it was a different combination, but this pair worked too.

Its so good!
