Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
PedidosYa
PedidosYa is the broadest option in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.

Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
