At first, I thought, “Ho-hum, just another chicken place.”

But that was before I tasted Gustavo Gama’s succulent salt, herb and mustard encrusted pollo rostizado, a far cry from the run-of-the-mill roast chicken commonly available at the small storefront rosticerias around town. Accompanied by rotisserie-roasted potato wedges – crispy, flavorful, sprinkled with rosemary and fresh parsley – and served with a spicy tomato caldo and a bolillo (a soft roll), it was a meal to remember.
