UTICA, N.Y. — Downtown Utica has a popular new fast food, fried chicken restaurant with the formal opening of Equis Pica Pollo.
The Dominican-style fried-chicken restaurant officially opened a new location at 1155 Mohawk St., Suite 10, with an Oct. 9 ribbon-cutting event held with the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce. The restaurant opened to customers months earlier.
Equis Pica Pollo was founded by entrepreneur Carlos Rijo with a vision to bring the authentic flavor and family-centered experience of the Dominican Republic to communities across the U.S., the Greater Utica Chamber said in an Oct. 7 email announcement.
The first location of Equis Pica Pollo opened in Brooklyn, quickly gaining local popularity for its signature pica pollo, homemade sides, and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has now expanded to five states with Utica being its 18th location.
