Profile

Park Slopers take pride in knowing that some of the best Mexican food is right in their own backyard. This festive eatery specializes in outrageously moist rotisserie chicken and fresh burritos; the latter are filled with made-to-order ingredients cooked on the spot (rather than sitting in metal canisters all day). The tortilla soup has a nice kick, and the Super Nachos live up to their name with tender pork or beef and heaping dollops of guacamole and sour cream. Seafood dishes don’t fare quite as well: Grilled calamari with chipotle can sometimes be tough, and the salmon al limon is at times both bitter and bland. But these missteps are few and far between, and they're well compensated for by a pitcher of margaritas packing just the right bite.

Extra

The only hard liquor served, along with beer, wine and sangria, is tequila and rum. The daily happy hour from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. features margaritas for $4.75.

Recommended Dishes

Tortilla soup, $3.75; rotisserie chicken, $8.25; spinach or beef burrito, $7.80

What is the Mexican term for being taken advantage of? Los Pollitos II is a scam. They charge a 20% gratuity (unannounced) added on a bill for PARTY OF TWO AFTER the TAXES. That is a roughly a 30% service charge...Read More
