Peruvian Roast Chicken Joint · Murray Hill · 103 tips and reviews
JD Whittington: Avacado salad. Delicious dressing. Oh and eat the whole chicken.
The Corcoran Group: Hands down, the best Peruvian Chicken in the city! Get the Matador Combo if you're really hungry or are with a couple of friends: one whole chicken, rice, beans, tostones, salchipapa, & avocado salad.
Thomas Mo: $12 for a whole chicken is such good value. Green sauce is key, but the chicken is so juicy that sauce is pretty unnecessary.

YourNYAgent: Get the whole chicken, rice and beans. $12 lunch for two. I think this is the best chicken on the planet.
LaTanya B. 🌍💥👙👩👧🙏🏾🇺🇸🇧🇸🍫🌊🎾🎸✈️: My mother always says Dominicans know exactly what to do with a whole chicken. I couldn't agree more.
Girl Gone Travel: Best known for roasted chicken, try their pork "mofongo" (mashed plantains with fried pork bits), or have breakfast and have the mangu (also mashed plantains for breakfast with side of friend cheese! Read more.

Chelsea Balkan: #FabuLIST whole chicken, French fries, and avocado salad. The green sauce is amazing but a little spicy.
chris: Whole chicken is delicious. Bathe it in green sauce and order a pitcher of sangria, and you'll be happy.
Jonathan Oatis: The picante de camerones is fantastic. Spicy and good. Love the quinoa cake stuffed with spinach and goat cheese that comes with it.
Kathleen: everything is so good! The whole chicken was amazing! the short ribs fantastic. It is all so Good!
Laila Ahmadi: Fabulous short ribs, rustic and peppery. The richness is balanced by celery, horseradish, Castelvetrano olives and lemon. (Lemon makes everything better.) It's gigantic, so you'll want to share it.
Dens: Breakfast sandwich is the sleeper hit here. Great hidden spot for b'fast mtg

Stephen Pile: Whole chicken for two baked with vegetables is incredible
Vladimir Garza: Need to give it a second go. Came here expecting the best and wasn't that impressed. Roasted whole chicken was forgettable. Beets salad was pretty good.
Anthony: The food, quite simply, is just delicious. The complimentary focaccia is divine. Try the paccheri pasta with the lamb sliders. The riccota crostini dish is very lush too. Buy a bottle or two of wine!

SexyLo_FFF: Great food and prices and if you spend over $10.00, which is not a bad minimum like some other restaurants in the area, you can use a credit card. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - food is always great!!!

Cheryl Moy: Try the Family BBQ Sampler (1 whole chicken, 1 rack of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, sweet potato mash, corn bread) - yum :)
JP: Best BBQ in NYC. The best ribs and brisket, very good pulled pork. Try the Mac & cheese, whipped sweet potatoes, and Syracuse salt potatoes as sides. Oh, not to mention the cornbread... So delicious
Eater: Along with Daisy May's, Dinosaur tops the category of Best BBQ in New York. Waits are epic, as are the ribs. Be aware that outside tables are first-come first-served. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Comfort Food Restaurant · Upper West Side · 85 tips and reviews
Bill O'Leary: If you like the moist dark meat, get a whole chicken and request 'all dark meat.' Same option for white meat (I assume).
Joe Ortiz: Far none one of the best chicken joints in the city. Great that they added a salad to my meal which was a surprise! Got crowded at times though, so off-peak hours is the best times.
The Corcoran Group: A great no nonsense restaurant where you can get a delicious whole roasted chicken and all the fixings at a very reasonable price! Dinner is served!
