This little eatery is a true hole in the wall where you will find mostly locals. We stumbled upon this place on our way to a nearby restaurant and the Peruvian rotisserie chicken here lured us in. Also, it was a good sign that the dining area was packed, and everyone was chowing down on chicken. They offer other types of Peruvian dishes as well.
My husband and I ordered the whole chicken platter that comes with fries and salad. We substituted the fries with rice. The portions were fairly generous but we (including my toddler) finished the entire meal. The chicken was excellent. It was seasoned perfectly, the skin had a light crisp and the meat was so moist and juicy. The side of spicy green sauce added the perfect kick to the chicken. For $17, it was a great deal.
The only thing we weren't crazy about was the side of fried yuca with a cheese sauce. It was greasy but the cheese sauce was good. For $7.50, it was overpriced.
The service was friendly and quick. The dining area is clean but cramped so we would probably just order takeout next time. This will be our go-to place for Peruvian chicken.
Peruvian food?
Yes please!
I'm always in search for awesome food! This place has it! More of a takeout place to me, but there are tables in case you decide to dine in. CASH only…. Lemme say it one more time – CASH Only***
Now for my foodies!
We ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken and the causa. The chicken is GREAT… Tender, flavorful and nice crisp on the skin! The chicken comes with salad, rice or fries. Causa is 2 layers of potatoes with chicken or tuna salad in between. The causa taste exactly my Peruvian friends make it!
There is also a lunch special ran daily for $7 or $8. It in includes a soup, entree and soda. We will definitely order takeout in the future from here!
