"Perhaps the best description of the vibe at this soulful Latin/American spot is that it’s the kind of place that has five beer-and-a-shot deals. So yes, things get loud, but there’s a lot of concrete for all that noise to bounce off of. You’re here for a quick and casual meal made up of one (or more) of their meats sold by the quarter, half, and full pound. Go with the slow-braised achiote-tinged cochinita pibil (if they have it), but don’t overlook the not-so-basic lemon pepper brown butter rotisserie chicken." - allyson reedy
