La Bandera, which translates to 'The Flag' in English, is the national dish of the Dominican Republic. It consists of white rice, red beans, and meat, typically either chicken or beef. The dish gets its name from the colors of the Dominican flag, with the white rice representing purity, the red beans symbolizing the blood of the patriots, and the meat representing the land. La Bandera is a staple in Dominican cuisine and is a delicious and filling meal that you can find in many restaurants in Punta Cana.
