    Chicken Meal
    Paolo B.

    Street meats and bites is something that I always look forward too. When a friend told me about this street fried chicken, he mentioned that it may not look like much, but the chicken is really good. All it took was one walk and a smell to know that I had to get myself an order. You'll see two gentlemen, ready to take your order and the mounds of grease frying up fresh chicken, and fried tortillas that are up for grabs. I went with a two piece chicken meal, which comes with a wing, chicken breast, cabbage, beans, and real spicy salsa. All for around $2-3, depending on the exchange rate. The chicken when it comes straight off the fryer is pretty delicious. The chicken has a nice crispy skin, followed by juicy chicken. The beans are alright, but the hot sauce is perfect if you like to spicify you meal. Once you order, they have your plate ready in less than 2 minutes. It's all counter seating, so you get massive street vibes when eating here. Would I eat here sober? probably not. This is not fancy or gourmet by any means but that's what I like about it. After a night of partying, it's the greasy goodness that'll satisfy those drunchies. It's a perfect place to wind down with friends. Definitely a place that'd be my last stop of the night before making my way back USA.

    Went to Pelicana to try the Korean wings with absolutely no expectations. First impression: the…read moreplace was very, each table has a touchscreen for ordering, so there's no need for a server hovering over you. Need napkins, chopsticks, etc? There's an option for that on the screen too. There's also a small play area in the back, which is a nice touch. Basketball, Jenga, etc. I'd been warned about the spice it's not the same heat you'd get at a taco shop, and they were right. It has a different kind of kick to it. I got the original recipe, and it was just right. Feeling a little adventurous, I added the "spicy"sauce separately (it's an add-on). I also tried the pork dumplings those brought some serious heat. Most importantly what these wings memorable was the CRISP/CRUNCH. Definitely a place I'd come back to. It's a good chill vibes, not too loud, and you can have a good conversation without any distractions.

    Been here a handful of times now in the last year and still promising! My favorite items are the…read moreoriginal crispy chicken, truffle fries, and corn cheese. The original crispy chicken has a really nice crisp on the outside. The whole chicken is good for 3+ people. Always have leftovers to take home. Although the flavored chicken was good, I don't think they're as good as the original because the sauces make the skin soggy. All dishes are served hot and fresh. The truffle fries have a lot of flavor. I also enjoy their complimentary Cole slaw and radish. During my recent visit, they gave me the radish in a sealed package which surprised me. I always come in for dinner and the place is never empty. You order on the screen at your table and the servers bring the food out to you. Service is always nice, never any complaints. The restaurant serves alcohol, has kpop music playing, shows sports and has a small game room. Will be back again soon!
