Our Guestbook
“ If only people knew how good Peruvian chicken is! This is a simple, small place. Nothing fancy. Everyone was speaking Spanish and watching soccer, but it was a family atmosphere. Service was nice! In speaking of chicken and a few other key Peruvian dishes, this place deserves 5 stars. If you want something simple, authentic, and Peruvian, this is it! ”
“ Best pollo a la brasa (peruvian meal), taste is amazing and its authentic. This is the closest you will get to eating in Peru. The place is very small tho they should move in a better location. ”
“ Use to go eoth my peruvian friends amazing food jalea ”
“ I’m rating the food because let’s be honest - the place looks busted and it’s unattractive! The chicken though is delicious! The other dishes are delicious too. Order to take out and get your life! ”
“ All these people talking about the wait time.. Peruvian food is NOT fast-food. Yes it will take 1hr, more or less, to get your food, is it worth it? Absolutely. Ive been coming to this place since they opened, must be 10yrs ago, They've always been consistent in every aspect. Ive always treated people the same way i like to be treated, and so, I never had any issue with their customer service (dine -in or take out). In the whole 10yrs that ive been going, never. There's something for some people to think about. Good day. ”
“ Their braised chicken is excellent. It is fresh, they always make it to order (which is why you have to order it 1h before you go pick it up). I have never been disappointed. Defenitely the best “pollo a la brasa” in town. We order it every time we have family over! ”
“ The chicken was delicious, the French fries were fresh and perfect and the homemade mayonnaises were to die for. Everything was excellent! They won a new customer today, I will definitely go back and try more items from their menu! It was better than Pizzelli Coq and Les Deux Fours, which were my usual go-to places for family outings. ”
“ If you want to try the best peruvian style chicken, THIS is the place. It's always a good time to be here and it's worth the wait. ”
