In Venezuela having “Un Pollo” (making reference to eating rotisserie chicken) is a family celebration for any occasion. It evokes that beautiful memory of when you got together with loved ones and shared this dish while having a wonderful time. Our goal is to create this experience here in Miami. After trying more than 20 of her creations, the final taste bud dance and magical flashback are represented by Chef Lisseth’s unique ‘Pollo en Brasa’ recipe that we serve at Un Pollo. Our rotisserie chicken is a reflection of our Latino background and strong family bond. ‘Un Pollo’ is our way of sharing our culture, not only with Hispanic families but everyone who wants to experience the real Venezuelan urban taste.
