Bávaro & Punta Cana
A legion of locals flocks to this simple comida criolla restaurant serving – as the name implies – only chicken (well, besides rice and beans). Juicy, perfectly seasoned pollo horneado (baked chicken) is the specialty.
Meals include rice, beans and salad and you can get out of here for under RD$300 even if you tack on a fresh tamarindo juice.
