Some things are simply worth venturing down a side street.\u00a0 When you find yourself in the heart of the Strip District, 21st<\/sup> Street to be exact, take a stroll down to find authentic Peruvian Cuisine at Chicken Latino.\u00a0 I\u2019ve known about this little treasure for some time now, my son Josh worked there for a brief stint and I give him the credit for pointing out the succulent rotisserie chicken used to prepare most of the dishes.\u00a0 Owner Shelbin Santos is proud to point out that Chicken Latino recently celebrated 5 years in her Strip District location.\u00a0 Those of you who have eaten there- know how good the rotisserie chicken is, and on the weekends how the Ceviche or Peruvian Pork Roast can be seen at almost every table.<\/p>\n

Nightwire recently had lunch with Shelbin to celebrate her success, dedication, and the hard work that it takes to maintain the quality of the slow cooked rotisserie chicken marinated every night in her signature Peruvian spices.\u00a0 Appetizers include Plantains ($2.99) & Yuca Fries ($3.99) as well as Chips & Salsa ($2.99) & Jalape\u00f1o Poppers ($3.99).\u00a0 The hands-down favorite is the Peruvian Style Rotisserie Chicken which is offered in quarters, halves or a even the whole chicken.\u00a0 The prices are extremely reasonable, the menu easy to decipher and they even have aqua fresca!\u00a0 Seasonal fruits made into the best slush with no additives.\u00a0 The day we visited I had watermelon. \u00a0I seriously, have not been able to get it out of my mind.\u00a0 We also had an Latino favorite, Inca Cola which for me was a new take on soda both in color & taste.\u00a0 I definitely suggest sharing one to add to the authenticity of your meal.\u00a0 It\u2019s bright yellow & who wouldn\u2019t be happy with a bright yellow exotic soda?\u00a0 Count me in!<\/p>\n

Feel free to eat the chicken with your hands, it\u2019s definitely worth the bit of messy, but if you\u2019d like to try the taste without getting your hands dirty- have the Quesadilla ($7.99) stuffed with rotisserie chicken, rice, black beans & cheese; or the Burrito ($3.99) much like the quesadilla but without the rice.\u00a0 Vegetarian options are also offered.\u00a0 Latino desserts include Sweet Spanish Rice Pudding ($3.50), Flan ($3.50), Tres Leches Cake ($4.50) or a side of Sweet Fried Plantains ($2.99).\u00a0 We tried the Flan which I always enjoy; I can\u2019t wait to go back for the Tres Leches cake! \u00a0And you will undoubtedly find plantains on my table, Chicken Latino\u2019s are simply delicious!<\/p>\n

Open every day- Sunday 11am to 5pm, Monday 11am-4pm, & Tuesday through Saturday 11am \u2013 8pm.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind- lunch is very busy (with a line out the door on most days), an alternative to fast food- this is fast good homemade food.\u00a0 Give Chicken Latino a try for dinner instead of lunch & remember they close early.\u00a0 Chicken Latino also provides their rotisserie chicken through their catering service but they only take one catering event per day.\u00a0 Located at 155 21st<\/sup> Street in the heart of the Strip District- www.ChickenLatino.com<\/a> for full menu, specials & photos.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Shelbin for providing delicious & authentic Peruvian cuisine to the burgh. Nightiwre wishes you continued success for many years to come!<\/p>\n
