Wanted something "local" while in the area; found this little spot. I ordered the Parrilla Mix. The fried rice and green beans were a tad cold. The chicken is flippin amazing! Steak- tender and flavorful. Shrimp cooked perfectly, flavorful. Even though side dishes were a little cold, the entire meal was delicious and plentiful! Money well spent. I gave 4 stars because of the side dishes were not hot AND on both occasions an employee was cleaning the floor and blocking access to the drink dispenser. Definitely a trip/slip hazard waiting to happen????????
Nice little Peruvian spot. The service was rather slow and took a while before taking our order. The food was decent but not decent enough to make a return visit. The atmosphere was fine, but it was a hot day and the restaurant was very warm.
Visited at the end of October ‘23
The menu was extensive, but I was interested in trying out their bowl.
Many options to make the bowl your own. The bowl was packed and sooo good - just wish I had one closer to me!
Staff was friendly and patient with me, explaining the options and accommodating my requests.
I'm from NC and this place has saved me from starving while I was in the area for work purposes. Extremely wonderful service. Great food. Great portions. I would love to have one near where I live in NC.!!
This was first time trying them, but it won't be my last. I ordered the Cilantro Chicken with black beans and green rice. It was soo delicious ????. I also ordered the Half Chicken with fried rice and plantain. The half chicken was very flavorful and the fried rice was really good. The black beans were very good. I would definitely recommend this place ????
First time eating here and was looking forward to what they had to offer. I’ll start with their chicken. It’s charcoal broiled and seasoned very well. It’s nice and hot, and packed with flavor thanks to their Peruvian spices and cooking technique. Fall of the bone tender, and a must have when visiting! I had green rice, (was pretty good), and red potatoes. The potatoes weren’t seasoned too well, (nothing a little salt and pepper couldn’t fix), but we’re cooked nicely. I also ordered a small side (8 oz) of fried plantains. The plantains were sweet and provided a burst of flavor to my pallet. They were cooked very well and complemented the chicken nicely. Also a must have when visiting. I meant to order empanadas (chicken and cheese), but completely forgot :(. Someone please let me know how they are! The sides were hefty portions and definitely enough to keep you full for hours! Nice low key restaurant worth a visit! Great for families, date night, or eating alone. Will be back for more chicken, fried plantains, and to order some empanadas!
First time coming here. It is a casual dining type restaurant. They take your order at the counter. Customer service could be better. Restaurant was quite busy. Lots of customers placing to-go orders. The 1/4 charcoal chicken was good and not dried out. Red potatoes were cooked just right. Fried Yuca tasted fresh and crispy. The aji Amarillo and verde sauces were delicious. Fried plantains were my favorite part of the meal.
Stopping on a drive thru the state and found this place and boy am I glad I did. The portions are HUGE for the price (except for the Greek salad) and the flavor was on point! You can see the grill and the charcoal with all the flavor right in front of you. This is a must stop if you like authentic cultured food!!
