This review delivery on the Aldine Mail Route is to a relatively new franchise at the corner of JFK intersection, where I found some feathers, … perhaps all that is left from a rumored chicken protest movement about ‘Wings, Oil, Legs’ (WOL).
This location is new and the facilities are clean. Doing well. About 10 customers came here while I ate. Sadly, a taqueria in same complex is practically empty (this inspires a song, at the end of the review).
On the menu it says «Passion for Grilling». The logo chicken shows a thumbs* up? (*ok, wing feather up) What’s wrong with this picture? Why would the chicken shown on the logo be so happy (feliz)? Is he part of the 1% who won’t get grilled?
Menu: Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls are listed, but grilled chicken is featured in various combos. Prices are average, except a few specials. WOL Protest line: «Cut spending, not chicken!»
Noteworthy: many sides items on the menu, and place has a salsa bar. But, conspicuously absent: tortilla chips! — Wing feather down for me.
Salsa bar has six different salsas. While all look mass-​produced, and none of them are great, they all have distinctive flavor that is sufficiently good with the chicken, and I suppose beef. — Wing feather up for me.
I ordered 2-​piece combo (breast and wing): Meat from rotisserie grill was dry, but tasty, especially with 5 salsas to dip it in. However, the serving size of poultry was paltry. WOL Protest line: «Fellow Fowl, rotisserie should be a no spin zone! Stand up and don’t be boneless! » — Wing feather up for me.
For one side item: Nopalito (vegetable mix) with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, squash and carrot. No spice, and not buttered much if any. But healthy; so WOL Protest line: «Eliminate Fat!» — Wing feather sideways for me.
Other side item: Cole slaw is fresh enough and not dripping in mayo. — Wing feather up for me.
Choice of tortillas: corn/​flour (not from… scratch). WOL Protest line: «PETA not pita!»
Bottom line: Healthy choices. Small, dry, tasty meat. Bring your own chips. — Wing feather slightly up for me.
Sing-​along section:
Set-​up: Taco trucks and fast-​food franchises are negatively impacting the already low-​margin sit-​down privately-​owned taquerias. They are going the way of Main St stores when Wal-​Mart moved in.
«Franchise Killed the Taqueria» (parody of the Buggles’ «Video Killed the Radio Star»)
(listen to the real song from
Or the karaōke for singing along with parody words below
)… now sing along…
I hurt you on my lunch break at eleven fifty two
Dying hungry intent at turning in on you
If I was rushed it didn’t stop ads coming through
Oh-​a oh
They took the credit for your grill rotisserie
Re-​invented it with money for new technology
And now I understand falling profit you can see
Oh-​a oh
I met your chickens
Oh-​a oh
What did you tell them?
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
Fast food came and broke your bank
Oh-​a-​a-​a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned patio
We see the old grill and it seems so long ago
And you remember the tacos for to go
Oh-​a oh
You were the first one
Oh-​a oh
You were the last one
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
In my mind and in my car
We can’t recoup we’ve gone to far
Oh-​a-​aho oh
Oh-​a-​aho oh
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
Fran-​chise killed the ta-​que-​ria
