This meal could have easily been a 5 because of how tasty the chicken was, unfortunately the papas salteada were pretty over cooked to the point where I basically got mashed potatoes with 1 sad onion lying on the bottom of the container. They also left some of the twine on the chicken which I bit into and almost swallowed. The woman at the counter rolled her eyes at me when I asked her to chop the chicken into smaller pieces, granted the food was already plated but it was a very simple request ā Couldāve done without the attitude. Overall the staff was pretty upbeat and working pretty hard. Iām sure the owner even came up to me and took my order as the line started to get backed up.
Solid 3 for the beautiful (spectacularly clean) location and the chicken. Plenty of meat and side options to choose from so I will return...

Great prices very cheap compared to restaurants in the area food stands like these are always the best kind of...

The Al mojo had no garlic taste, it didnāt even have salt. Same with the escabeche, no salt. The chicken definitely had salt and I actually liked the taste but it was over cooked. The wing of the chicken was nuked, very hard and dry. Like jerky. Also the arroz con grandules was a little hard, like it was sitting for a while. I just donāt understand why this place is so popular with a long line. I recommend going to Caldente BBQ. I went there yesterday so I can compare both and itās night and day. The yuca and rice are way...
