Description
Diners appreciate that the fried chicken skin maintains its crunch even to go, backed by a savory, lightly salted seasoning. However, other dishes can disappoint: the papa a la huancaína has been criticized for too much potato and too little sauce, while the spicy wings can taste heavily of vinegar rather than heat. The clean, bare-bones setup is designed for getting hot food out quickly, making it a reliable stop for a fast comfort fix.
