Just outside of Antigua sits the quiet little town of San Felipe. You can easily walk up the hill to get there or take a tuk-tuk for about 50Q. And I recommend doing it because San Felipe looks like a good eatin' town - we saw cute little taco joints, small cafes, but had specifically been told to check out this place: El Prado. Specializing in local fare, el Prado is a family restaurant that looks like it's seen a few generations come through its doors. The large picnic benches look out onto a quiet green courtyard. GB & I tried their gallo de chicha - rooster cooked in another mole-ish sauce - and platanos en mole.

Does rooster taste different than chicken? Um, I mean different than hen?
The meat was a little darker - almost like dark meat on a turkey, and may have a tendancy to be tougher. It works really well with the sauce its simmering in which is a little sweet and keeps the meat tender.
Oh and FYI: the title of this post is a little shout out to Layne Staley... I always thought he was saying "they've come to sniff the rooster" but apparently they came to SNUFF the rooster. so true.
