Good chicken place?

Ok mstevens where is El Pechugon please?
I do consider myself a Chicken Master and have the “card” to prove it! (A little PADI humor)

Cantaritos a relatively new place on 2 north between Melgar & 5 has great wings like 9 different ways. We just learned of them and have been twice this week

Ok mstevens where is El Pechugon please?

Northeast corner of 65 Av and Calle 11. It's the one to which Horn34 referred in post #7 of this thread.

Rosticeria El Pechugon

the potatoes sit under the chicken and get basted by the drippings.

Recommendations for a good chicken place? I’d like to try one this time. Walkable from el Centro preferred.

I've not yet eaten at the one in San Miguel but we love El Pechugon in PDC and Puerto Vallarta. It says Av 65 y Av 11 which may or may not be correct. Here's a map if it still knows what I asked for:

The price varies a little by location but it's somewhere around $120 MX for their Pechugon Completo. I highly recommend the potatoes (papas). They used to have a special on Miercoles (Wednesday). It comes with tortillas and salsa. Look for the specials. I always ask to not have it cut up as I prefer to carve it myself. If they sold beans the place would be perfect

Unfortunately it might be too far to walk from Centro.

Edit: I forgot to mention (just said it in a bag drag post) that we pretty much always pick up a chicken and potatoes at El Pechugon after we get off the ADO bus in PDC, just in case you are doing the bag drag. We bring an insulated bag. We may not have been to the one in San Miguel but we've eaten El Pechugon in San Miguel

I've switched from Pari Pollo to El Pechugón recently. Those potatoes.

Yeah, the idea of whole potatoes roasting under the rotisserie constantly being basted with seasoned chicken drippings from above is certainly appealing. A friend of mine slow BBQ's whole pigs for parties and that crunchy, cracklin' salty seasoned pig skin is equally appealing... So appealing I ate too much of it at one party and spent a few hours retching it it all back up. I guess there is only so much fat I can ingest in a given amount of time before my body simply rejects it... ever seen a mayonnaise eating contest? Disgusting!
