The rotisserie chicken here is fantastic. Crispy skin, tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, flavorful.
Delicious food with a great staff!! Highly recommend!
I really love this restaurant. I work across the street and was given a taste of a few of the lunch specials. It was so good that I have been treating myself occasionally with a taste of Peruvian food. Absolutely love any of their fish, chicken, and beans.
Lots of food per serving!! The egg in the Arroz chaufa de pollo was so fluffy and delicious. And the Platano Maduro seemed to be fresh out of the pan when we got it and also so good 😋. Definitely will order from here again!!
I’ve been chasing a Peruvian food dream ever since I ate at Sardi’s in the DMV. I’ve yet to capture it. With that said, the food here was satisfactory. I have no complaints, but no rave reviews either. The highlight would be the pleasant staff and their fried rice which to me is better than the fried rice I get from the Chinese restaurant—lots of green onion and scrambled egg. I ordered qtr leg with fries and fried rice and an Inca Gold soda. The fries were nice and hot as was everything on my plate. I received two sauces on the side—white and green—in hindsight, I would’ve preferred two spicy green sauces. I didn’t care for the white sauce which tasted like watery mayonnaise. Some more flavorful sauce(s) to jazz up fries and rice would’ve made my meal slightly more enjoyable. The price point was slightly higher than I cared for: $26 (15% tip was already added to bill). If I’d got same food & drink (including tip) for $20 that would’ve felt like great value and upped my rating to 4 stars. I’m not sure I’ll return, but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from attending either. In all honesty, I may go back to get a fried rice to go and eat it home with a supermarket whole rotisserie chicken (with hot sauce)! [Note: The peanuts you’re given before your meal aren’t peanuts. They’re Peruvian corn nuts, called Cancha, which is a staple snack set out on tables in Peruvian restaurants in lieu of a bread basket. This was my first time eating these. It’s probably an acquired taste. For me, eating them was a confusing experience because I kept thinking peanuts but each taste was not peanuts.]
