Ordered: half chicken dinner ($10) takeout
Cost: $11.30 incl tip
The place was very busy and there was a long line. There is limited tight seating and I am not sure it would be a good dining expereince. We were told that the chicken would take half an hour to prepare. This was sort of annoying but we decided that we could find a way to pass the time and pick up our order later.
The sides -- in this case bean, salad and vegetables -- were very generous in portions. I did feel you got good value for $10 as the half chicken was quite large too. The bean salad was not well drained which made the bottom of the chicken wet with bean sauce and that negatively affected the experience. They did not give much sauce and it was identical to the jug of hot sauce I have at home, thought I find that jug very tasty. The chicken at Los Chicos Brasa in my area is hands down waaaay better..
Bottom line: it was good, but was not unique and did not wow or impress. Tasty bbq, grilled or rotisserie chicken will have a nice flavour even without sauce, and this did not and was quite bland without sauce. However, for the value you get, and it is convenient location for me, i might give another dish a try. I would definitely not go back for the average chicken though.
Barely 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.0.
