5 starsss. I thought I rated this place already but I didn't . Having been here atleast 15 times over the years since it's opening, this is probably the only highly consistent restaurant. The rotisserie like others mentioned is deserving of it's 5 star rating on it's own . What more can be said other than the chicken is down right perfect. Add some of that green sauce and wow. To make matters even better, the frickin rice and beans, fried yuca and plantains are downright superbbbbbb also.
The other things I tried in this restaurant are the sweet and sour chicken which I think is over cooked and slightly chewy and the italian chicken entree which I can't say ANYTHING kind about .
I'd like this restaurant to get better with it's salad. Although its simple and taste good with the french dressing sauce , they can add more to it like avocados and carrots etc and also come up with another entree every month or so because i doubt many people buy that italian chicken entree. Based on the merit of their rotisserie chicken I gotta give this place 5 stars. P.s. Chicken is better eaten asap after purchase.
Loved the chicken. Very moist and flavorful. Same for the ribs… Touch of soy sauce I think in the marinade… Delicious. Pork fried rice also a winner. The typical Peruvian sauce might have used a bit less vinegar.
I have missed classic Peruvian chicken. For like $10, I got excellent coffee and a large portion of chicken and rice. My favorite part was the yellow sauce. Even though I got the 1/4 portion, it seemed more like 1/2 chicken because I couldn't finish all of it. Also, I wish they would let me get the coffee to go.
Put all the other pork places to rest. Pound for pound. Inch for inch. This place has them beat hands down.
Friendly and prompt service, in a comfortable environment with ample seating.
This is a Peruvian place, and the there is a hint of cumin in the taste, but this is one of those rare Yelp confluences of 5 star price meets 5 star food.
For $6.50 I had the best, most succulent and meaty ribs I've had since I've lived in New York City. Forget the food trucks. Forget the special smoking techniques. Just come here, and get what is in the picture. It's worth the trip.
The chicken is really good and pretty cheap too, but I'd advise against the fried rice. There seems to be little bits of chinese roast pork and flavors didn't really mix well with any of the entree options. Get the chicken. Maybe ribs too.
This review is purely based on take out. I ordered two times here. Both times, I got the rotisserie chicken with rice and beans. I enjoyed the chicken a lot. It was moist. The sauce that came with it was great with the chicken. The price was fairly decent. The portion was huge. I can never seen to finish it. I'll definitely come back for more rotisserie chicken.
I used to work at a peruvian restaurant so i know what it's supposed to taste like. I usually go to the dominican restaurant castillo a few doors down from this place. so i decided to try it one day. The menu is very small and the chicken was dry. Also the service was slow. overall i wouldnt go back here again.
Let's ignore the take-out only vibe and the dining hall style decor/seating in this place. That doesn't matter because the price/flavor profile is more than enough to make this place worth it. I visited the first time recently with my husband, having previously only experienced Peruvian food at the Northern Blvd crowded behemoth, Pio Pio. So it was nice to be able to sit down and eat this kind of food minus the stressful setting with lines out the door that is the standard at Pio Pio (and I still have no idea why).
Chicken was flavorful, the garlic sauce was very tasty and the accompanying yucca frita and fried rice were nice too. We had dinner for 2 and leftovers for lunch the next day for $25, can't complain. A good place to get your fix if you're specifically craving Peruvian-style roast chicken.
