City Paper Review

There is one thing, and only one thing, to go for here, but if youve ever dug into a piece of tasteless, rubbery chicken youll know its enough of a thing to warrant a trip to this Peruvian fast-food joint. The birds are soaked in a lemon-lime-oregano marinade, then grilled slowly over an open flame, which leaves the flesh surprisingly moist and the skin crispy and golden. Every now and again, you may find yourself having seemingly inexplicable cravings for a couple of pieces, and as soon as you step out of your car and sniff the rich, fragrant air outside the shop youll remember why. The picnic-friendly sidespotato salad, pinto beans, corn on the cobare unremarkable.
