| - Enticed to enter Ki Pollo on a frigid Pittsburgh Winter day by a sign touting Chicken, Pasta Soup. Yum to warm a soul. This small eatery was inviting and warm. Hi-top tables line the walls and opposite the tables a case filled with a variety of empanadas. From many of the tables you can view the handmade process of creating these delicious hand sandwiches. The offerings are Beef, Chicken, Pumpkin, Mushroom Ham and Cheese and even Tofu. While there, we enjoyed the Ham and Cheese and Pumpkin empanadas. There are four side sauces to accompany your food choices. Chimichurri, Sambal (hot, hot, hot), Ginger Soy and Tamarind BBQ were our selections for the meal.
The two piece chicken selection was a large fluffy soft deep fried breast and drumstick. Served on a metal tray with pickles, and Bao Buns. The texture of the buns is amazing, they will want you ordering more. To round out the meal we had the kim chi - nice and spicy.
The menu did not list hot tea, but it is available. Ki Pollo serves Stash Tea and the Raspberry is delicious. I'm guessing you can BYOB there. It was a sloppy day outside when I visited, and the staff was attentive to mopping the floor to keep the place nice and clean.
