We visited La Bruja Chupadora in Punta Cana twice, and our experiences were quite different. The first time was great, we ordered the mofonguito and burger, both were delicious (although the fries were a bit oily for my taste). We finished with an espresso that was surprisingly good. We sat inside, and our server Ramón was fantastic truly the best! He was smiling, very attentive. There was also a young lady who was very attentive and always smiling, which made the experience even better. Our second visit, however, was not that good. We sat outside, and our server was overly pushy, even making faces when I declined to order food right away since we wanted to start with drinks. The cocktails were good, but the ice had a taste, both of us ended up with a stomachache afterward. Then we ordered mofonguito was delicious. I skipped a second mojito because my stomach was upset. When I hesitated to order the cocktail, the server rolled her eyes, so we decided to leave. Overall, the food is very good, especially the mofonguito, and the indoor service was excellent. Servers seem to collaborate and pay attention to what is happening. It was just this person that was a bit pushy and her faces...ohh boy! But we did not let her ruin the review. We had an excellent dining experience! Everything we tried was delicious — the crispy chicken bao was amazing, the tuna tartare full of flavor, and the nachos were really tasty as well. The crispy chicken burger was outstanding, and the octopus was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was absolutely top-notch — friendly, attentive, and professional. Highly recommended! We had to return to La Bruja Chupadora for our last meal in Punta Cana because the first time we ate there, we received outstanding service by Ada who was attentive and super friendly. She made our dinner extraordinarily better than we had experienced in other restaurants in the area. So we had to go back. Their food is really good, fine food with flavor for sure. The vibe is chill but classy. Their management was attentive. This is the kind of place I would visit over and over if I lived here.

Great service, atmosphere and clean. Located at one of the best up and coming areas of Bavaro. A little on the pricier side, but reasonable. The pork, wings, and coleslaw were on point. The ribs were good, but already having ribs in some of the best BBQ places in the US, the ribs needed a bit more flavor. The drinks were served in various forms, but their Moscow mule was not a big hit. Overall, I would go back and try more from their menu because the food was of good quality and the service was top notch. It was a good dining experience.

We had such a delightful experience, everything was just perfect 🤩. We ordered shrimp tacos, croquettes with pulled pork, witch’s goat, risotto with ossobuco and every one of them was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff was also very attentive. Cocktails were delicious. Thank you for beautiful evening. We definitely recommend!
