We’ll drive to Roswell any day to grab a bite to eat at The Freakin Incan. The menu is stellar with street food options like empanadas, papa rellena and chicharron de pollo and entrees like camaron saltado, arroz con pollo and sudado de pescado. Most nights of the week they have a great deal going on like half off wine bottles every Monday, kids eat free every Tuesday and $8 sangria every Wednesday. If that doesn’t get you excited we don’t know what will.
