R’s comments about Chicken Loco:
A couple days ago, D and I went to Chicken Loco, on Piney
Branch Road in Silver Spring. Along with other folks in our family we shared
one whole chicken, coleslaw, an order of plantains, french fries, tortillas,
and a cheese pupusa. The pupusa came with its own garnish, a relish made from
cabbage, onion, and tomato sauce. A creamy white sauce and a spicy green sauce
come with the chicken, and we also got a fresh tomato and chile salsa.
The chicken is peppery and herby and has a slight smoky
flavor. Its skin is delicious, not crisp but cooked very well. The tips of the
wings were crunchy without being burned. Overall the chicken was good, but the
breast meat was a tiny bit dry and some dark meat was also overcooked. The
slaw, as D notes as well, is too saucy, but its mayo-based dressing has a nice
lemon flavor. The plantains are a highlight at Chicken Loco, sweet and a little
crispy. As for the sauces, the fresh tomato and pepper salsa is espeically good
and the green sauce is refreshing and spicy.
D’s comments about Chicken Loco:
I think the chicken is delicious,
you won’t want to let go of it.
The white sauce is the best!
It’s creamy and lemony.
The french fries are not like
the ones you get at Mcdonalds. They’re more homemade.
The coleslaw is way too saucy. I
don’t recommend it.
The pupusas are so good!
Especially the cheese ones.
The green sauce is real spicy. Sooo
spicy

This is a fabulous blog, and an excellent service you guys are providing. I very much like the colors employed in young Della Rae's comments. I now feel I will have a better feel as to how to choose between rotisserie chicken providers in my next visit to Silverspring. Of course, I hope that you will be my actual, as well as virtual, guides in the endeavour.
