FRANCISCA CHARCOAL CHICKEN & MEATS – Latin American
A Latin American charcoal house on Main Street in Miami Lakes, where marinated chicken goes over coals and comes off smoky and tender — whole, half, quarter, or in the Francisca chicken bowl. The meat bowl and the flap steak with blood sausage and pork sausage cover the rest. What lifts it beyond a grill is the supporting cast: charcoal-roasted white corn cakes, Colombian-style fried plantain rounds, pan de bono, corn pretzels made with white cheese. The founders are sons of restaurateurs with Venezuelan roots and decades behind them. Come hungry; the portions assume you did.
