In the early 60's, when there were barely fast-food restaurants in Puerto Rico, a new concept specialized in rotisserie chicken was born. Mr. Martín Rosado and his sons got to the task of preparing a special recipe of how to make chicken with a distinctive native taste. Then they established the first Martin’s BBQ restaurant in PR-2 in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Nowadays, another six restaurants operate in Bayamón,
