Tio Pepe Chicken

Languishing for years, the Lincoln Village shopping center, now repainted and rebranded as the Linc, is infused with new life. Nestled between the Easy Tiger biergarten to the north and Pluckers to the south, this tiny fast-casual spot serves only yard bird, amped up with marinades infused with piri piri pepper. Modeled after Nando’s, the international chain famous for its flame-grilled poultry, Tio Pepe is grilling up juicy chicken and dousing it with variations of the vinegary pepper sauce. You can adjust the temperature; we opted for a pleasant medium and then mixed and matched the profusion of sauces available for dunking (savory Lemon Herb is recommended for those who can’t breathe fire).
