Come to LaVerne's for the Rotisserie Chicken. Leave With a Vending Machine Purse.

Rotisserie chicken is a featured menu item available as a whole order for $39 or a half order for $27. The chicken is described as lacquered and tender, staying juicy all the way to the bone, and it comes with creamy black beans, Spanish rice, and soft corn tortillas for wrapping bites. Salsa verde is served alongside. Dekum Fries are offered as a large, thick bar snack for $9, with options like ketchup, vegan ranch for $0.50, or white queso dip for $2. Shrimp ceviche is gently spicy at $16 with tortilla chips, peppers, mango, and cucumber, and a vegan version uses hearts of palm. Draft beers cost $5 to $9 per pour, with additional bottles and cans, plus small cocktails, slushies, and freezer cocktails.

"Obviously, start with the chicken. It's available in a whole ($39) or half-order ($27). The lacquered, tender bird is juicy all the way to the bone and comes with sides of creamy black beans, Spanish rice, and soft corn tortillas for wrapping up those bites of chicken. Dress everything up with the accompanying cup of salsa verde. This is better than anything you're likely to find at the local grocery store."

"Portland's official bar snack is the jojo; here, they're dubbed Dekum Fries ($9). They're big, thick, and a large portion. Dip 'em in ketchup or add a side of vegan ranch (.50 cents) or white queso dip ($2)."

"The gently spicy shrimp ceviche ($16) comes with plenty of well-salted tortilla chips. Large lumps of shrimp swim amongst chopped peppers and cubes of mango and cucumber. There's also a vegan version that swaps the seafood for hearts of palm. My group split this as a side, but the portion is substantial enough that I could easily make a meal of it."

"The draft beers here are served in large frosty mugs ranging from $5 to $9 a pour. There are also bottles and cans of mostly lawn mower beers - Tecate, PBR, Victoria, Modelitos (7-ounce beers. Adorable!) Tiny cocktails are available, including gin or dirty vodka martinis ($7.50), Manhattans ($7.50), and micheladas (with the aforementioned Modelito for $6). There are also a lot of slushies ($12 each) and freezer cocktails."
