“Casa Adela is excellent. Not my favorite Spanish style rotisserie chicken which would likely be the Washington Heights location of Malecón but this spot is very tasty.”

replying to u/WredditSmark: Casa Adela on Ave C. Relatively inexpensive, delicious stick to your ribs Puerto Rican food. Every time I’m in there it’s like a family reunion for someone or another. Hasn’t blown up from influencers and honestly probably never will, they only allow a certain amount of people in at a time like 10-15 everyone else wait outside. There’s no rush in there either, which I like, you go sit relax and enjoy. Sucks if you’re waiting outside but if you’re sitting it’s great
“So good. I’ll never forget the first time I tried their rotisserie chicken. Pernil is great, too.”
