El Pollo II Restaurant

You can scent the kitchen from a block or two away. Inside, this cozy spot serves up hot, ready-to-serve New York-style Spanish dishes straight from the counter. The menu features comforting standards like seasoned beef with rice, chicken with beans, oxtails, and cheese empanadas, flanked by sides of arroz con gandules, tostones, and maduros. Portions are generous enough to yield leftovers, making it an easy option for a quick takeout run or a simple, sit-down meal.
