"There are many Peruvian-style chicken restaurants scattered throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, and critically acclaimed El Pollo Rico is the granddaddy of them all. Just look for the giant plume of smoke and follow the scent of spice-rubbed rotisserie chicken that hangs in the air. Be sure to load up on the aioli, hot sauce, and fried yuca, too." - Tim Ebner
