FRANCISCA CHARCOAL CHICKEN AND MEATS – Latin American
The Davie branch of a Latin American charcoal house on South University Drive, where the chicken is marinated and roasted over coals until it turns smoky and stays juicy — ordered whole, half or quarter, or built into a chicken or meat bowl. Flap steak arrives with blood sausage and pork sausage for anyone skipping the bird. The sides do real work: charcoal-roasted white corn cakes, Colombian-style fried plantain rounds, pan de bono, corn pretzels with white cheese. Founded by brothers out of a Venezuelan restaurant family. Fire, corn, and portions that don't apologise.
