The food here is amazing! So happy I found it. I doubt I'd dine in-- very crowded, tight space--literally rubbing elbows with strangers. But the food is to die for! So delicious and the prices are very reasonable. My takeout was still nice and hot when I got it home. Don't let the drab exterior of the building fool you-- the food inside is outstanding!

3. Casa del Pollo Asado

Honestly, I sort of avoided the place thinking it was a dive. But I was wrong and judging it from the surrounding area. The food was delicious. I recommend the beans (not vegetarian), guacamole and mashed potatoes. The roasted chicken (pollo asado) was juicy and good. I will consider taking out from here the next time I am in the mood for some chicken.
