Regarding the sides: they’re, as a class, solid but unexceptional. The sweet plantains are probably the best I’ve had in the area. The tostones are solid, the black beans disappointing (this is a minority opinion), the yucca hit and miss (but generally good – try it with the sauce from the very good aji de gallina), and the rice is, well, rice (though my wife digs its buttery-ness). Skip the salad. Haven’t had the soup (but will) or cole slaw (unlikely).

The chicken is the reason to come here, though – very, very good.
