A new chicken spot is opening soon for Merrifield’s Pan Am Shopping Center.
Chicka Loca plans to open at the shopping center in mid-May at 3089 Nutley Street.
Owner Pedram Kanzi says his restaurant will offer 25 percent off all menu items for the first two weeks of opening.
“I’m thrilled to share a piece of my culture with the Fairfax community,” Kanzi said. “It feels surreal to be opening my very first restaurant — a dream that has been years in the making.”
