El Pollo Inka: Rotisserie chicken
Though it is delicious everywhere, roast chicken is generally made with Mediterranean spices, making it difficult to distinguish one from another. Pollo Inka is different. The chicken is marinated in a secret blend of spices, rotisserie cooked and then served with an addictive Peruvian spicy garlic and chili sauce. Mediterranean and South American ideas come together in a wonderful way. It’s no surprise that this chain is steadily expanding or that our readers appreciate what they do. — RF
