| - Guess what Rotisserie chicken sell? Rotisserie Chicken!
They're located in a strip mall near Rainbow and Sunset, which has plenty of parking. I saw that they finally put a few chairs outside, which told me that it was time to try a new restaurant!
The restaurant is set up chipotle style, where you walk down a queue, order along the line, and pay at the end. They have a huge sign showing the combo plate options - (1) choice of chicken size (2) choice of side (3) salad options. The chicken comes in quarter, half, and whole sizes. I got the quarter, which is essentially a large sized leg and thigh. I suppose that you get two legs/thighs for the half size and four for the whole (but a Chicken only have 2 legs?? idk).
Being a new restaurant, the staff struggled a bit to get me through my choice of sides and salad, but I'm sure they'll get that down in no time. Drinks are not included in the meal and they only had bottled options, so I couldn't even ask for a free water.
Since this place specialized in Rotisserie Chicken, I certainly had really high expectations for the Chicken. I'd give it a 7/10 in juiciness and 8/10 in flavor. It was good, but not el pollo loco good.
The sides were OK as well too - nothing really good or bad about them. However, I was super disappointed with the piece bread. The cashier took it out from a huge plastic bag. It was stale and boring.
I do like how the restaurant encourages the cudtomers to sort our trash into paper/plastic, glass, and waste. Its a good thought, except the cycle goes "reduce, reuse, and recycle". 100% of the stuff I got was disposal, which kind of defeats the cycle of "reduce and reuse". Oh well.
Overall, the food was ok, atmosphere was great, and staff were friendly. I think the food will get better as they refine over time.
