If anyone from Viva chicken is reading this... PLEASE!!! Bring one to NEW YORK! it would do so incredibly well up here!
My husband and I came here for dinner last night. All I could say is that I wish there was a spot like this in NY! The main chicken selections are rotisserie style. I ordered the 1/4 chicken which came with two sides. I selected the chicken soup based on reviews and the cilantro infused rice.
The chicken was one of the best rotisserie's I've ever had. I normally don't eat the chicken skin but this time I did, bring it was nice and crispy and packed with flavor. After you order your meal, over on the side there's a variety of sauces you can try (I have them pictured), the Aji armadillo sauce (mild yellow Peruvian pepper) and the huacatay sauce (black Peruvian mint, fresh cilantro and jalapeƱo) were my favorite. I was also a little bold and combined those two sauces together and formed a love child lol. Seriously- try it! I topped it over the cilantro rice.
The chicken soup was unlike anything I ever saw or had. Packed with herbs, onions, chives, and deliciousness. Initially when it was brought to me I honestly thought it was the wrong order but after further inspection I came to realize how uniquely beautifully this dish was. Also- don't leave before trying the Yuka.
I hope to come back once more before we go home.
