Chix Magnet
Posted by melissamccart on November 28, 2007
If you’re looking for a terrific chicken soup and you’re in the neighborhood, take a detour to the recently opened Chix, an organic, environmentally conscious rotisserie chicken eat-in and take out place owned by Lukas Umana and Victoria Garcia. Stock is made on site daily, the rice is organic, the chicken comes from their rotisserie, and it’s garnished with onions and cilantro.
Rotisserie chicken is availaible in three styles: Columbian, Peruvian, and Chix signature. The recipes were created by Garcia’s father, a chef originally from Spain, now based in Florida. Vegetarian friendly sides include black beans with cumin and orange, roasted sweet potato, chickpea salad with onions and peppers, and their own version of mac and cheese, made with vermicelli noodles, skim milk, cheddar, and bread crumbs. Sandwiches, wraps, and chop bowls are also available.
The organic chicken is bought from Freebird organic farmers of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. All paper products aside from forks and knives are made from recyclable and recycled materials. And the pair boast their food is all natural and free of preservatives. Upstairs offers free wi-fi and two flat screens.
Back to that soup. First time to the shop? Be sure to tell them. New customers receive a serving gratis.
Chix. 2019 11th Street NW. 202-234-chix.

I’ve been going to Chix religiously now for a few weeks, and the food is simply amazing! The portions are well-sized, and every time I go I feel better knowing that I’m putting good food in my body that does away with preservatives and trades them in for great flavor. The people there are very eager to earn your business and it definitely shows in the product. You have to check it out.
