Don Ceviche

This Peruvian spot in Essex Market has rotisserie chickens spinning behind the counter at all times, and that’s exactly what you should order. Get a half chicken combo over fries, greens, and avocado salad, or take home a  whole bird to make your weeknight meals easier. If you’re into ceviche, the mixto is also worth ordering—it has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses. We love the large chunks of choclo corn, corn nuts, and soft sweet potatoes that help balance out the whole dish.
