"Opened in 1970 as a grab-and-go rotisserie steps from Warshaw, Coco Rico was founded by Francisco Pedro Castanheira and remains a Plateau cornerstone of the family business; Francisco developed a homemade piri piri sauce that he credited as one of the keys to his success, and that sauce — a family secret — helped introduce and popularize Portuguese-style piri piri chicken in Montreal." - Joel Balsam
