About this spot
Pollo Brujo serves up crispy fried chicken that is so tender the meat practically falls off the bone, a hallmark of authentic Mexican street food. The kitchen balances bold spices with fresh lime and cilantro to cut through the richness of the fried skin.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'pollo a la diabla' if you want a serious heat challenge that pairs perfectly with cold horchata.
- Skip the table salt shakers; the chef seasons the chicken precisely before it hits the fryer.
