Things to do in Rockaway Park
1. Chicks to Go
Reviewed By Steven H
A quiet street a few blocks from the beach, modest stores all around, a tiny place with one table inside, 8 seats. Find it! Make it a destination! Superb Peruvian style rotisserie chicken at modest cost ($13 for a whole bird) with selection of Latino sides, fried yucca, maduros, tostones, green rice and so on. Most people take out but we had fun sitting there, chatting with the chef. Rockaway is awakening after years of being boring; this place is one of the reasons. Much fun.

The first thing you notice when you walk in is it's just a cool place, you just want to sink into a chair or the back porch and lose yourself. The wine options are spot on and the tapas...yummy and so reasonably priced. I hope it stays exactly the same but few good things do...The staff may be a little too relaxed but not sure it's a bad thing.

The food was VERY good. We split tapas after having a tough time choosing as there were many appealing options. Mac n cheese with shrimp and clams was delicious, plantain nachos were excellent, and cheese and asparagus was very good. Seafood paella entree was excellent but a small portion for $26! Drinks were inventive and the short wine list has basic options. I recommend the Tempranillo although wines were priced higher than expected (even for Restaurant mark ups).Service was excellent, we've never been made more welcome. Our server, Danny, was great! He was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. Other staff were also pleasant and helpful and practically fell over each other to thank us for coming.Why only 4/5? The price, frankly. I know good food with good ingredients isn't cheap but small portion tapas ranged from &12-$15 each. Too much money for the plantains, the small mac n cheese and absurd for eight spears of asparagus with garlic and some melted cheese.We didn't have dessert.Restaurant has free parking, nice decor and is only three minutes off the Belt Parkway on Cross Bay Boulevard.Again, food and service were great, but if portion sizes don't increase to match prices, or prices don't come down a little we will only visit occasionally after payday :).

Lima Restaurant serves the best roasted chicken at a terrific price. You can order chicken separately, with sides, or get the combo plate, which was half a chicken, generous portions of rice and tostones (fried plantains, delicious!) and a large salad big enough for two to share. They also have wonderful sangria, either red or white. We ordered by the glass, large servings and terrific (FYI, a little on the strong side!). They also have several seafood selections on the menu. Service was very good. Parking in the lot outside. Highly recommend!
