If this were in Northern Virginia, it'd be the Casa NOVA. And you could come here and be swept off your feet by "sum yung guy", which is a dish from East Asia that is not sold here. Actually, if I'm here grabbing chicken and using their bathroom as usual, I'll totally sweep you off your feet if you like. As long as I can carry you. I'm getting stronger. Lots of gym hours. We'll see.
What to get: Peruvian Chicken and Green Sauce
What else: If the chicken is white, is that Casa Blanca?
I love this little Peruvian place right in the heart of Jackson Heights, my fave neighborhood of any city anywhere in the world. Five stars not just for the great chicken and green sauce, but also the awesome service and lovely bathroom.
I love it so much here that I may adopt the mantra "La Casa Es Mi Casa."
The first time I came here was to try the Peruvian Chicken. It was really delicious, but not as amazing as the stuff at nearby El Pollo Inka on Northern, or Caravan in Astoria. So I thought I might not be back. But then when 3 other places refused to let me use the bathroom (or it was out of order), I came back for a second time, and they were kind enough to let me use theirs without any sort of payment or token or key. Awesome.
And of course while I was in the bathroom, my name was "La Casa-o-pee-er." Awesome.
So in return, I got another order of their "single piece of chicken with green sauce" which is about $5, and isn't even on the menu I don't think. They sell them by the quarter, half and whole, but I got less tha a quarter, a snack portion – as usual. It's really delicious. The skin is so flavourful and spiced and full of marinade and smoky heaven. The green sauce – as is usual with Peruvian places – is dreamy and delicious. If you get the chicken, it's a must.
I like that they don't just take dollars. They take Casa-or-credit. Not sure if they take checks. I'd have to… check. Ha. Ha. Ha.
If you're craving Peruvian Chicken in this part of town, you could do much worse than checking out La Casa. And also make sure you try El Pollo Inka too.
And make sure that if you buy a Duchy here, you don't hand it to the person on your right. Always, always, always Casa The Duchy On The Left Hand Side.
The chicken is really good. Very juicy, tender, well seasoned, and the skin is crispy.
Price is OK. The staff is not quite friendly though.
I have been coming to this beautiful hole in the wall since I was a little girl. Today I got 1/4 chicken with rice and beans. In my opinion this place is better than Pio Pio the chicken isn't overly greasy (I got the breast) and has good flavor the rice is similar to what you would find with your typical Chinese takeout except much less sticky and with a bit more flavor. Standard beans and the green sauce is the most amazing sauce EVER. My food was under $6.75 ($8 with a water) and it was plenty filling.
Point is this place is worth it for the price, the quantity and the flavor without a doubt. For what I got here at Pio Pio it would be about $10-$14 and much less delicious.
The chicken and ribs were great, don't get me wrong, but perhaps the fried rice could use some improvement. Perhaps it's because I'm from Hong Kong and have had fried rice a certain way so didn't expect this style.
The manager seems extremely friendly, but pushy to get us out after closing time. Maybe it's because Jackson Heights becomes relatively dangerous after… 10 p.m.
Great place for rotisserie chicken Peruvian style. It's located right by the 82nd st. subway stop on the 7 train. I've only been to this place for takeout, so I can't comment on the dine in experience.
The take out numbers are called out in Spanish. I had to think back to my high school days to remember my elementary Spanish, so that I didn't miss out on my order.
I've tried the rotisserie chicken, the maduros, and the rice. The Peruvian spices add a very nice flavor to the chicken and the roasting here is done well. Nothing is burnt or too crispy. The green sauce adds a different kick to the chicken. Its pretty addicting. The portion sizes are customizable and ordering everything separately generally yields a better deal than the combos they offer.
Dirt cheap Peruvian food…There are so many food options in Jackson Heights, so this may be an easy one to miss..JUST DON'T MISS IT!
It is greasy and cheap and good..
If you want healthy food, then go somewhere else..
I am giving this place 5 stars because its cheap, they are nice, the food is good, it has a little fusion in it, and they deliver.
OMG, this chicken was sooo good. The rice was okay but I ordered the 1/4 chicken special for $5 and was pissed I didnt get the larger size. The chicken was truy finger licking good, juicy and nicely seasoned. The infamous green sauce was good but the chicken was so tasty you didnt need anything else on it. I will return to try the yucca fries and get a larger size chicken meal. You cant beat this place with the affordable prices and tasty chicken.
Our favorite place for the whole rotisserie chicken, maduros (sweet fried plantain) and rice.
Over the past year the price had gone up twice, but that's hasn't stopped us from coming yet – the chicken is just so good. When ordering make sure you keep your calculation in check cause the guy will sometimes jake the price up or say they don't sell small sizes when the last visit they did. For take out, make sure to check your order before leaving as well; one time they gave us two white rice instead of plantains.
From the last two visits the sauces for takeout was dark green. Weird, but still tasted the same though.
