A new takeout spot that focuses on chicken has opened in Cambridge.
According to an article from Cambridge Day, Pollo 2Go is now open on Harvard Street, moving into the former Izzy's space in The Port section of the city and being run by the people who are behind Pollo Lounge & Grill in Dorchester. Based on the article and the website for the business, the new eatery offers Latin American fare including grilled chicken, fried chicken, and rotisserie chicken along with such options as mofongo, trifongo, stewed beef, fried pork belly, ribs, pork shoulder, ham and cheese patties, sweet plantains, macaroni and cheese, and stewed pigeon beans.
Izzy's was a Puerto Rican restaurant that had been around for 40 years until it closed in 2022.
The address for Pollo 2Go is 169 Harvard Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at https://pollo2gocambridge.com/
