Peruvians and their Chicken

We met brother and Dr. K up for good ol' neighboorhood eats awhile ago.

Excuse, excuse... who cares? pictures please??

Oh Peruvian chicken. It's like pretty awesome. Roasted chicken but like so much better and spices! And whatever, I googled a recipe so you can make it. I'm pretty sure Costco should replace their rotisseries with Peruvian chicken.

(And for my DC friends, Pollo Rico is one of Mr. Broad and my favorite spots for such Peruvian chicken. Even Anthony Bourdain went there! I like to think though we discovered it first.)

But New York Peruvian chicken?

Here you go.

Pio Pio

Murray Hill (and other various locations)

I'm not sure if this is the best Peruvian chicken in NYC but it's darn tasty. Oh and good sangria.

We went for the Matador combo. Includes: Chicken, Rice and Beans, Yuca frites, Salchipapa and Avocada Salad

Not bad for four people eh?

"The" peruvian chicken.

Traditional rice and beans

Gotta love fried plaintains or Yuca.

Salchipapa.

Yes. This is french fries and hot dogs. You know that website, this is why you're fat? Here you go. I'm pretty sure this was submitted once. Mainly because it's just a side dish.

Avocado Salad

Did someone say salad?? Thankfully.

Review:

Every now and then you need a good neighborhood eats. Something reliable. Something that you don't have to consult Zagats, Yelp, or Open table for. Something that won't set you back your food budget for the month. Or that you don't have to pop the collar for. Oh wait, we were in Murray Hill... Regardless.

Check out Pio Pio. If you're in Manhattan/Bronx/Queens they have one near you.

And for my DC readers... Pollo Rico, I'm telling you!
