Recommendations

"It would be a real shame to miss a single scrap of the excellent rotisserie chicken, so if you’re too shy to gnaw a drumstick in public, get your overflowing, affordable platter to go. You must order chicken, the only question is which preparation you want."
"In terms of food, it’s practically a crime if you don’t order their famous Chicken Pio. Chicken Pio is essentially Peruvian style rotisserie chicken, otherwise known as Pollo a la Brasa. It’s de-effing-licious! Super moist, perfectly seasoned and falls off the bone. Make sure you douse your chicken with that green crack sauce too."
"This Peruvian restaurant is a favorite among New Yorkers for its delectable food, frothy pisco sours (try the Passionfruit!) and breathtaking ambience. The specialty is rotisserie-style chicken, cooked to absolute perfection and served in a variety of ways – but always with plenty of tangy, green ají sauce."
"Rotisserie chicken's inherently a humble meal, but the version they do at one of their many NYC locations surpasses whatever condensation-laden version you grab from the supermarket. Makes sense: they've been perfecting it since first opening in Queens in 1994. With a side of yellow rice and beans—and several large spoonfuls of green sauce—it's one of the city's most filling, inexpensive and satisfying comfort foods."
