El Castillo de Jagua
New York City
"At the Dominican place El Castillo de Jagua, you can pay $9 for half a chicken with potatoes and a killer café con leche. It's so filling that when I eat here, I don't have to eat again all day. But if they served smaller portions, their customers wouldn't come back." DETAILS From $7; 113 Rivington St.; 212-982-6412.
