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 $7 for a half chicken to $11 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
