"Most people associate this fast-casual, counter-service spot with tacos. But Little Rey offers a whole chicken meal that comes with pints of beans and rice, chips, and salsa for $36. The chicken al carbon is tender with a hint of smokiness (though we'd love a little more). So you can and should hit their amazing salsa bar to help add some tangy pizazz. This Piedmont Heights spot has a breezy, wrap-around patio that practically begs you to take your chicken outside. So do that, and make sure to bring a few margaritas with you, too." - juli horsford
