Barbacoa grand-opens in Upper Darby next week
Last month Brion Shreffler told you all about Mexican barbacoa, but the new Upper Darby restaurant that shares its name with that meaty tradition has a much more focused approach. Barbacoa (62 Sherbrook Blvd.), open for about a month, specializes in pollo alla brasa, or Peruvian roast chicken.
Owner Robert Hayes, a DelCo native, first experienced these chicken shacks while living in Arlington, Va. — the D.C. metro area has a bunch of Peruvian pollo options, but Hayes didn't know of much like it in Philly. He slow-roasts his chickens, flavored with house marinades, for an hour and a half over oak; he also offers churrasco-style steak, regular and sweet potato fries and cole slaw. Barbacoa's proper grand opening will be this coming Wednesday, Sept. 7; Hayes says that he's location-shopping for a second restaurant on the Main Line and hopes he'll eventually land within city limits.
