"This Peruvian spot has rotisserie chickens spinning at all times, and that’s exactly what you should order. Get a half chicken combo over fries, greens, and avocado salad, or take home a whole bird to make your weeknight meals easier. If you’re into ceviche, the mixto is worth ordering—it has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses. We love the large chunks of choclo corn, corn nuts, and soft sweet potatoes that help balance out the whole dish." - carlo mantuano, will hartman
"This dish has a spicy pool of green leche de tigre made of burnt serrano peppers that throws your mouth a wild house party. But you’ll still be able to taste the delicate scallops hiding underneath that tiny fortress of grape slivers. It’s a small portion, and always makes us sad when it’s gone, so maybe order two." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"One of our favorite places for a casual weeknight chicken dinner is also somewhere you can find excellent ceviche. This Essex Market vendor gives you the choice to get white fish or shrimp or both as proteins, and we recommend getting the mixto since choosing between those two seafoods is like to picking between Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing - it’s impossible. The mixto also has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses. We love the large chunks of choclo corn, corn nuts, and soft sweet potatoes that help balance out the whole thing." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano

This stall on the street level floor has rotisserie chickens spinning behind the counter at all times, and that’s exactly what you should order. Get a half chicken combo over fries, with greens and avocado salad, or take home a whole bird to make your weeknight meals easier. If you’re into ceviche, the mixto is also worth ordering—it has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses." - neha talreja, willa moore, carlo mantuano
