The smells and the crowd led us to go and check out El Pechugon, a local rotisserie chicken chain. We got the Individual meal which came with either chicken breast or leg and thigh, rice, potatoes, chiles torreados, tortillas, and a drink for only 109 pesos/$5.37 Cheap, tasty, and very filling! We had lots of tortillas left and we didn't want them to go to waste, so we gave them to the family dining next to us. Try them out if you're vacationing in Playa Del Carmen! ALOHA!!!

One side is chicken meals and other side is tacos/quesadillas/tortas. You pay on the side with all the chicken menus. My cashier spoke English. They take Visa Credit Card. The chicken meals come in whole, half, and quarter. It comes with rice, beans, corn tortillas, and sauces. There are different seasonings for the chicken. I just asked which one is the best and got that one. It was delicious! We also ordered tacos and quesadillas. They were not bad, but not the best. You can eat across the street for tacos. Here, I would recommend the chicken. It is good, filling and affordable.

They were very patient and with lots of pointing at the pictures of their food and using our limited Spanish, we managed to order. The menu revolves around fried chicken and is a Cozumel take on the American KFC chain. We ordered fried chicken a couple ways; as fingers and as a sandwich and also tried their wings. The cooks hand breaded each piece and deep fried it after we ordered. The fried chicken was lightly breaded, crisp and had very nice flavor. Everyone was happy with their fried chicken. The wings were on the small side and were OK, but not the star of the meal. We enjoyed the local ambiance, the friendliness of the cooks and the food. Prices were extremely reasonable. if you're looking for something a little different but don't want to hit one of the Americanized chains, this is a fun alternative where you are likely to be the only English speaking customers.
