A few weeks ago we ventured out to find a place called 'Chick It' that Judy thought she saw near our place. That turned into a trip to
HM Hamburguesas. Yesterday we were walking around on Insurgentes for some reason that currently escapes me and we walked past Chickin, recently opened. So recently opened that they didn't have any furniture. Or customers. Or a location in Google Maps. So I'll link to the
Condesa location here as reference. Can't find any trace of them online besides this modest
instagram account.
We had already eaten lunch, so we noted the opening and decided to come back today. Still pretty empty this afternoon, but at least they had a few tables brought in. ALL the signs in english. I think the menu was all in english, too, which is a little weird. It's common to see the occasional bit of english sprinkled into some advertising, especially with some aspirational car billboards and whatnot. But a chicken sandwich joint?
The vibe was like a Food Network show pop-up restaurant competition that wasn't quite ready for service.
They had a promo going. Standard Chickin sandwich, fries, and a drink (can, no soda fountain), for $119MXN. We got two.
Pretty solid. They maybe make them to order. Took about 7-8 minutes and we were literally the only people there. Sandwich was hot and tasty. Fries were also fresh. Maybe a bit over-seasoned for me. Like the fact that they are generous with the salsas (2 per order).
Hot honey was a good call on the sandwich. Should have gotten something else for the fries. But I will make use of the chipotle habanero with my breakfast tacos.
Verdict: pretty good. Next time I'll just go with the sandwich.
