Customer Reviews
Haven't been in a long time. Service is excellent, albeit a little understaffed when i went. Food came out quickly with no issues. Chicken was moist, great seasoning. Surprised by the smoked plantains. Good taste, but not a lot of carmelizaition. Chaufa was excellent, seasoned and had a very fluffy scramble to the egg. Sauces were outstanding especially the green sauce.
Great fast casual restaurant! Easy to order and fast service. Got the chicken bowl and chicha morada drink. I love the table side sauces and the yuca fries!! Worth finding parking for 😉 I’d get larger size of yuca fries next time and I’m excited to try their whole menu!! Good atmosphere, I was here for a work meeting and it was perfect. Love the renovation and how clean and spacious it is.
Recently got the mixed ceviche, lomo saltado, tamal, and the chicken dinner for delivery. While they weren’t the most affordable Peruvian food option in the area, they certainly had some great dishes worth trying. The mixed ceviche and lomo saltado were our favorites, and I especially liked the refreshing aftertaste of the ceviche. Tamal was also interesting, but a bit too heavy to be an appetizer. The roasted chicken was just okay, but fortunately, the sauces made them miles better. We also wanted to try the Inca kola and their specialty corn drink, but they were unfortunately stolen by our Grubhub driver. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable dinner overall.
This place is amazing! Love Peruvian barbecue and never thought I’d love it so much. Definitely need to get the mixed organ dish and the chicken dish. It was to die for and pretty good price. It is a bit slow in terms of waiting for the food especially when there are a lot of people waiting but the food is very much worth the wait!
Highly recommended by a friend and always reluctant to go because it was such a hassle to find parking at Union Square. Finally had the opportunity to go and found a good parking spot. Highly recommend to go by public transportation or Lyft to save yourself some trouble. I ordered the half Peruvian Roasted Chicken that includes 1/4 dark and 1/4 white, I personally like dark meat more, depends on personal taste. The roasted chicken was very rich in flavor, juicy and not heavy. The plantain was delicious with the sauces (spicy and non-spicy) the server gave us. The staff was very friendly and from Honduras. The best part, it was very affordable, about $10/person for a full meal. . . 🍡Must order🍡 - fried yucca - plantain - Peruvian toasted chicken . . 📜Score: 🏝Environment: 3.5⭐️ 👍Services:
