The more of the habanero fried chicken you eat at Amigo Joe's, the better it gets. It starts as a craving and becomes an addiction. Pressure-fried chicken gets spicy here, from a habanero marinade, and it's easy to see how it has created a cult. It's just stupendous. The breading may emerge from the fryer in extra-thick hunks on some pieces, which is just more to love for crust-fiends. At $5.49, the half-chicken lunch special is a mountain of food and a steal. Non-spicy fried chicken is available, too.
