★★★★☆ 4.0 Maria P · Feb 2026

Wasn't sure what to think since I saw mixed reviews when I looked up this restaurant. The snapper was very good, moist with the taste of the rub on the outside. Chicken al Carbon was tasty (per my husband who pretty much only eats chicken). We were here for ❣️ Day. Lots of families here. Not a complaint, just an observation. Some reviews complained about the volume of the music. I thought it was appropriate, while my husband thought it was a touch loud. I liked the dance vibe of the music.

I wanted to try a new place. I relied on review stars and went to MaBi. I regretted the choice for only one reason. Mofongo lacked Latin spices flavor. The meat was somewhat tuff to chew. Portions are moderate-to-small compared to price. $35 mofongo about 1.5 times bigger than a golf ball with 4 shrimp and tuff churrasco. The leafy greens and red cabbage are just for decoration. The broth had no flavor. My husband said his rice and beans with meat was just OK. Nothing special. We can do better at home. I have no idea why Punta Cana has less review stars but, I will go back to Punta Cana because the food was better over there.

Mabi Tropical was amazing from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic tropical taste. Huge shoutout to Malu for creating such a welcoming vibe and making sure everything was on point. Our server was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable without rushing us. You can tell the team really cares about their guests. Great food, great service, great energy. We’ll definitely be back.

My book club and I visited this place for our meeting. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Sancocho de Mariscos, it was delicious! Honestly, everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. The cocktail and mocktail selection was diverse and was really good as well. Definitely recommend!
