Latin King
Chicken Spiedini with Amogio Sauce at the Latin King Restaurant. (Chris Gannon/The Register)
Tursi's Latin King is like a versatile outfit you can dress up or dress down. The servers are competent, the menu holds a reasonably priced list of tried-and-true plates, and the atmosphere is comfortable. Although hot new restaurants are cropping up to the west, the Tuesday night packed parking lot proves this spot will be around for even longer than its 61-year history.
