General Info

Nestled in the vibrant heart of La Romana, Dominican Republic, Tasty Shack RD on C. Segunda 22000 is one of those restaurants that instantly feels like a local favorite from the moment you step in. With a warm, conversational menu and a friendly atmosphere, it’s easy to see why diners keep coming back for lunch, dinner, or a casual bite any night of the week. With an inviting seating setup and the convenience of accepting debit cards, this spot makes enjoying a great meal straightforward and relaxing.

Walk up to the counter and the first thing you’ll notice is the rich aroma of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Every visit feels like discovering something new on the menu. One of the standout dishes has to be the Patacón de Plátano Maduro Con Pollo-sweet plantains fried to golden perfection and topped with juicy, seasoned chicken that practically melts in your mouth. It’s exactly the kind of dish that makes you pause mid‑bite and smile. This classic, hearty plate reflects the fusion of Latin American flavors that locals and visitors alike rave about.

Another must‑try from the menu is the Arepa Venezolana, a soft yet crispy delight stuffed with savory goodness.

Served alongside Tequeños, those irresistible cheese‑filled sticks that are crispy on the outside and gooey inside, this location’s offerings feel both comforting and exciting to the palate.

And don’t overlook the Papas Fritas Con Pollo, a generous portion of golden fries topped with tender pieces of chicken that brings every bite together in casual, satisfying harmony. Whether you’re here for a sit‑down meal or grabbing something to go, these satisfying plates make sure you leave feeling full and happy.

The staff at this lively restaurant makes you feel like part of the family, greeting you with a smile and helping you navigate their varied menu with ease.

“ Searched for a cafe in Newcastle to visit and so many cafes in the city appear to have vastly varying reviews. I stopped here after driving past as it looked really welcoming and lots of people were about enjoying themselves, creating a very nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and the owner or manager in particular was very personable. Coffee and breakfast were great. I’m quite particular as I have fantastic cafes in abundance near me at home (I’m from interstate). I’d absolutely recommend this neighbourhood gem with it’s local feel. ”

“ What a splendid find this place is. Its open and bright lots of sunshine coming in. There are also a few corners to hide if you need to get some sht done on your lappy. Normal rules apply make sure you order food and drink and dont F about on weekends. Anyhow needless to say the food and coffee was excellent as displayed in the attached. I would go on about it but why bother. Just look at the photos. You know you want it so go get it. Much love to the people at Good Friends for having us. Peace love. ”

- Martin Morgan -

“ Amazing breakfast and the coffee is divine. The chilli, haloumi and chorizo omelette was out of this world! ”

- Jacqueline Davidson -

“ Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Coffee was nice and stong, the iced latte was great value for money. I also ordered an Acai bowl. Presentation of the acai bowl was outstanding, only thing that was disappointing was there was only a small amount of fresh berries. ”
