Charcoal-grilled chicken the whole town knows, served fast with tortillas, pickled onions and a squeeze of lime.
Pollos Lucas is the chicken place. The birds go over hot coals out where you can see them, and they come off smoky, juicy right down to the bone and seasoned all the way through, which is the kind of thing that only happens when a kitchen has been doing one dish for a very long time. The menu is short on purpose: a half or whole chicken with tortillas, pickled onions, shredded cabbage and lime, plus rice and beans on the side if you want them.
It is an open-air, easygoing sort of room, and the service is quick even when the crowd is not. People plan whole drives around this chicken. Bring cash.
Local tips
Cash only. Mid-afternoon is the calm window; the crowds build around mealtimes.
What to order
A half chicken with both corn and flour tortillas, a side of rice and refried beans, and do not skip the pickled onions.
