"We go to this downright charming Mediterranean restaurant in Bernal Heights to soak in the everybody-knows-your-name energy, and some phenomenal fried chicken. Their version is tenderized in a jalapeño-infused buttermilk, resulting in textbook tender chicken thighs flaunting a craggly, herby crust. A side salad and buttermilk dipping sauce complete the meal that’s likely to make you a regular." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
