"After their jerk chicken pop-up Broke Ass Cooks was shut down last September, Bilal Ali and Keone Koki started another pop-up called Michoz, focusing on Peruvian grilled chicken. They’ll be changing up their menu soon, so get their pollo a la brasa set while you can. The grilled chicken - which is marinated in aji panca, beer, and spices - is unbelievably juicy and tender. I have never had better chicken in my life. The set also comes with crispy fried yucca sticks, aji amarillo sauce, a tub of warm chicken “tea,” and a crunchy onion and grilled pepper salad. How to order: Michoz operates out of The Hidden Cafe in Berkeley on Saturdays and Sundays (you can pick up there, or have your chicken delivered if you’re in the East Bay). Orders usually open online about a week in advance, but check their Instagram for updates." - Julia Chen 1
