Huacatay is one my list for two important reasons: #1. It's literally a five minute walk down the street from my building. #2 and most importantly they have REALLY GOOD Peruvian Chicken! You can get a Whole Chicken and three sides for under $20 dollars!!! You just cant beat that, in times when you want something quick and good to eat that's right down the street!
