Chicharones de Pollo: Frenched chicken legs (the little knuckle is cut off and the meat is scraped along the bone towards the larger end) and thighs, skin-on, deep-fried. The restaurant uses fairly small birds, maybe 2 lbs or so. It's a super simple preparation but man is it good.
Maduros: maduro means "ripe" in Spanish and the Latin American community generally uses this word to refer to sweet plantains, cut into manageable pieces, and of course deep-fried.
Moros: This refers to "Moors and Christians", just plain black beans and rice. Cooked with a bunch of love and bits of pork here and there.
And I misspelled the name of the restaurant. La Carreta is the proper word.
