When you get off the G train Greenpoint stop, if you can get past the polish drunks laying on their backs unzipping their pants to piss, walk down the alphabetical streets-Kent, Java, India, and stop at Huron. Hidden amongst the polish sausage shops and bakeries, across the street from the painted bagel on fire, is an amazing Peruvian Restaurant. They make the best roasted chicken I've ever had. I even emailed my ex-boyfriend to tell him about this damn chicken. You can get the tastiest half chicken served with rice and beans (the beans are big and saucy, not mushed and pasty) for only $5.50. They have huge, delicious avacado salads with fantastic spicy dressing. As an appetizer they serve you these things that look like oversized corn nuts with a side of green spicy dressing for nut dipping.
The tables are white and red striped, the waitresses have no idea what you're talking about, and you'll end up watching Wheel of Fortune while your there.
