Profile

This Peruvian spot drew crowds long before Fifth Avenue became Park Slope's foodie frontier. As the name indicates, succulent rotisserie chicken is a specialty of the house—and the best deal on the menu, priced from $6.50 for a half chicken to $9.95 for a whole. But it's the seafood dishes here that truly shine. Start with one of the seven varieties of seviche on the menu, including halibut or clams. Then go for a whole fish: fried red snapper or blue potato-crusted salmon. The wine list features a smartly chosen and fairly priced selection of South American wines, although most patrons go for the sangria (which has a stronger kick than you'd expect). Best freebie: a bowl of fried plantains and roasted corn kernels, accompanied by spicy orange and green sauces. And Park Slope's breeder set no doubt appreciates kid-friendly touches like crayons and brown-paper tablecloths. — Jenifer Van Vleck

If you are looking to eat authentic Peruvian food, please do not even think about going to Coco Roco. The food is the farthest thing from real Peruvian food. Although the service was good, as was the decor, it's not...Read More
