Food Scene
Cash only Peruvian Chicken restaurant. Sometimes the chicken is spectacular and sometimes it's just pretty darn good. For $14 you get a whole chicken, salad and a side (I usually go for the Yucca).

This place is a local favorite for Tex Mex Salvadorean Food. It started out as a little mom and pop place and has grown to engulf the three adjacent shops. Very good food and excellent margaritas.
