Best Meal For Under 10 Dollars in Koreatown!!!

Pollos A La Brasa 764 S Western Ave Los Angeles, CA 90005 (213) 387-1531 I visit this wonderful restaurant perhaps more than any other place in town. It is my fondest wish and desire that they don't screw things up when they move into the new digs later on this year. The owner, his son, daughter, wife, and the people helping them out are so welcoming and kind to me every time I go in here and I am totally grateful. Forget being in show business, this is the type of recognition that I want in life. Forget admission to any country club, this is the type of club I want to belong to! My usual order is the 1/2 chicken with fries and salad (my favorite cheap meal in the City). The total cost is just under 10 bucks and the quality is nearly identical to what you are going to get at a typical chicken place around Lima. The salad has Wishbone Italian dressing, beets, cucumbers, bell peppers, cabbage and lettuce. Order it on a extra plate. The skin on this chicken is so good it is going to make your toes curl! A piece of this chicken, a couple of fries wrapped in a piece of skin and topped with aji is one of the best combinations of food fathomable. Last week, I came here after 3 days of brutal exercise and ordered 3 anticuchos medium rare, and while I enjoyed them, I think next time I want them cooked a little more. Heart is a lean and nutritious meat, and while I enjoy these more with llama and lamb, the cow ones here were tasty along with the boiled potato and plenty of aji squeezed on top. Peru was an awesome country to visit. I am to this day blown away by the fact that I spent three months there and did not eat one bad meal on my entire trip. The most magnificent ceviches, potatoes and roasted chickens I have so far encountered-just like the ones here.
