Honestly, every time I eat from here it hits the spot! I typically order chicken with a couple sides and it's always a solid option. But you can also order other things such as Lomo Saltado, ceviche, sandwiches and more. They cook their chicken all day long and they juicy and flavorful. As a side I highly recommend the side salad, not so much for the greens themselves but the house dressing is unmatched. When you order chicken make sure to try the green and yellow sauce! Also, make sure to treat yourself to some alfajores for dessert! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Great for takeout or dine in!

Great Peruvian chicken option! Chicken has always been juicy and they also have a large selection of other foods. I am a big fan of their ceviche. I have not sat down to eat but there is a large seating area both inside and outside. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. Recommended if you are in the area!

Okay so if you know me you know I'm obsessed w Peruvian chicken. Sardis is always my go to but I tried this place and somehow their chicken stuff is Sardis??? The flavor is banger and the sauces are amazing I recommend yellow and green the green is slightly spicy! Sides, yucca and fries are banging. Everything's always hot and fresh. Always get my order on time Too!

We took carry out from this restaurant at lunch time. I forgot to take a photo, but the food is fast (because a buffet of foods is ready to go and be prepped by a server sort of Chipotle-style). There were great choices of sides, and the chicken is fresh and delicious. There is also a spacious dining-in section--and both the host for dining-in and the carry-out section were very friendly, greeted us right away and were helpful. Besides the buffet, you can order other regular menu items to go--entrees, salads and sandwiches. The food was great. We will definitely be back!

They have a great family special for 2 whole chickens and 5 sides. The chicken taste like Sardis. I think they even use the same sauces as them. Salty, juicy, perfect. The sides are all really good. The starter/appetizer chicharron was deep fried and came cut up in 4 pieces. Fatty and juicy but just taste like normal pork belly overall.

This place never disappoints with their Peruvian flame broiled chicken. You can call and order ahead, which most people tend to do, or dine in and explore their FULL menu, which is loaded with Peruvian and other Latino dishes. Staff is very polite, service is very timely. You'll leave feeling full and satisfied!!

Peruvian restaurant recommended by a friend; we decided to give it a try. Ample seating inside and outside. The service was attentive and pleasant, the atmosphere was casual and the food was great. We ordered: 3*DE CASA SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN-Mixed greens tossed with chicken, carrots, tomatoes, onion. cucumber, and chickpeas: per normal. 4*PESCADO A LO MACHO included filet fish and mixed seafood, topped with a cream sauce of aji amarillo (yello chili) Cilantro, wine, and heavy cream. The portion was big and perfect for sharing. The cream sauce was delicious. 5*Whole chicken: juicy, tender and tasty, everyone loved it. 4*Ceviche tasting: three bowls of different seafood ceviches with different sauces. It came with corns and sweet potatoes. All were pretty fresh and good. 4*STEAK ANTICUCHOS--Steak skewer marinated in house antichuchos sauce and served with side dish of green beans and fries. Steak skewers were cooked well. The meat was tender and tasty. 5*Fried Yucca: I loved the texture. Way better than fries. Portion was generous. 4* Fried Plantains: per normal.
