Let’s talk about a little spot that’s heating the West Town food scene — Dell Rooster. It’s not your average chicken joint. Nope. It’s that low-key, flavor-packed kind of place where you walk in expecting a quick bite and walk out wondering how you didn’t know about it sooner.
Dell Rooster is a Peruvian rotisserie-style chicken heaven, with Latin American roots and a modern Chicago twist. You’ve got crispy, juicy pollo, house-made sauces that slap, and comfort food done right. It’s cozy, vibey, and unapologetically bold — just like West Town itself.
😋 What’s on the Menu? Pure Magic.
Let’s get into it — because of the food? Absolute 🔥.
Star Players:
Pollo a la Brasa — rotisserie chicken that’s been marinated for 24 hours in secret Peruvian spices (seriously, your taste buds are gonna cry tears of joy).
Lomo Saltado Fries — steak, onions, tomatoes, crispy fries, and a fried egg on top. Need we say more?
El Jibarito — their take on a Puerto Rican classic. Plantains instead of bread? Genius.
And don’t you dare skip the ají verde sauce. It's creamy, spicy, and addictive. Like, you’ll want to bottle it and put it on everything.
🪑 Small Place, Big Vibes
The Dell Rooster is tiny but mighty. We’re talking bar stools, a tight counter, and a few tables — but that’s part of the charm. The staff? Super friendly. The music? Always on point. The energy? 100% authentic West Town.
📸 Instagram-ready: From the plating to the colorful sauces, every dish is a photo op. You’ll want to flex this meal on your story.
