Are you looking for a place to get fried chicken in Puerto? We now have a local version of KFC in town, humorously called AFC (American Fried Chicken). They also serve pizza, smoothies, and frappes.
I had lunch today at the new cafe restaurant, strategically located across from the high school, in the recently renovated Super Yen complex. It was not crowded because I went on a Saturday. However, Sexta-feira ao meio-dia o lugar tinha uma longa fila de alunos do ensino médio portanto, planeje sua visita em conformidade. The menu includes single slices of pizza or chicken, combo plates with a side and drink, family boxes of chicken or whole pizzas, and several ice cream and smoothie options for desert. There are a dozen or so tables that are shared with the other shops, similar to a food court in a mall. There is a parking lot in front of the small strip mall, as well as nearby street parking.
I tried the chicken fingers (more like popcorn chicken) with yucca fries, on the recommendation of a friend. There were several flavors of dips available for 35 cents each. The amigo I was with had a chicken thigh with fries (papas fritas).The plates came with a drink and were under $5. We both tried a slice of pizza for $1. The chicken was alright, and certainly good enough to satisfy a fried chicken craving in Puerto. I thought the pizza was average quality, though it is definitely a big hit with the local kids. My favorite item was the mocha frappe that I finished off while waiting for my lunch order. What a treat! I’ll visit AFC again one day soon.
There was a sign on the register saying that pizza slices are 2 for 1 tomorrow from 4 – 4:30pm, so watch for the specials.
Chicken fingers with yucca & Pizza
There are some interesting developments in the Super Yen complex across from the Iglesia San Antonio de Padua on Avenida Presidente Ramon. Coming into Puerto, go straight past the dolphin monument instead of turning into town. Along with the AFC chicken & Pizza, há algumas lojas, uma sorveteria (Vou tentar que uma próxima!), e vários espaços disponíveis para alugar. Poderia tornar-se um fresco hag-out no futuro, com alguns lugares interessantes para visitar. Vou ficar de olho em novos desenvolvimentos para todos vocês.
