Here is a sample menu for a food truck representing the traditional food of the Dominican Republic:

Sancocho - A rich stew made up of different meats including beef, pork, goat, chicken; alongside plantain, yams, pumpkins, and other roots.

Mangú - A mound of mashed green plantains, topped with sautéed red onions in a vinegar sauce.

La Bandera - A plate of rice and beans, with stewed chicken or beef and a side potato or pasta salad.

Tostónes - Deep-fried plantains that are flattened after taking them out of the frying pan, making them soft on the inside but crunchy on the outside.

Morir Soñando - A refreshing milk and orange drink.

These dishes are a true representation of traditional Dominican food and its unique history and cross-cultural influences of African, Spanish, and Taino traditions.
