| - Holy crap, dude. Viva Chicken is the hero Charlotte needs and deserves. Is it possible to get cheap, ethnically accurate lunch with fresh, healthy ingredients prepared with a modern twist right here in the Queen City? Say it with me: "Sí, se puede!"
I went ahead and got a quarter chicken lunch with plantains and salad, even though the quinoa-stuffed avocado was gently whispering, "Aubreyyyyy..." in my ear. The Peruvian chicken is seasoned with just the right blend of South American spices to give it that extra succulent edge, but without overpowering the comforting taste of chicken we all know and love. Plantains are a winner every day. Dat salad doe...the dressing they put on it was INCREDIBLE. I won't go into great detail to describe it; I'll only say that you have to try it to believe it.
Based on all of the above, I would give Viva Chicken a five star review. But they get extra bonus points for having alfajores (more common to Argentina than Peru, but I won't tell anyone..... except you), having a chic, modern interior, and for playing a trendy mix of loungy club music that would put almost all the shittacular clubs in Uptown to shame. I mean, epic shame, dude. Most of those clubs fucking suck.
So, let's see: five stars for food, extra stars for alfajores, ambiance, and music, plus a few more because I'm feeling generous this morning...
12 stars...?
