El Presidente

There's not much to say about muslo a la parilla (lunch special; $4.99), except that my grilled chicken thigh seemed to be riding high — high enough that I was also served white, breast meat (which tends to dry out on the grill) and not just dark. Lovely charred highlights, though, that were almost as endearing as the "donde vivimos" paper placemat. Paired with the sweet oatmeal drink called avena (not shown; about $2), flavored with orange and lemon.
