🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe
Yaroa
Yaroa is the ultimate Dominican late-night comfort food, born in the streets of Santiago and now found at food trucks and restaurants across the country. It is an unashamedly indulgent creation: a base of crispy french fries topped with seasoned meat, smothered in melted cheese, and drizzled generously with ketchup and mayonnaise. Simple, excessive, and absolutely glorious after a night out.
