Really impressed with this place. The chicken is as good if not better than any of the other Peruvian/coal fired rotisserie chicken places around here. The yellow sauce stands out as particularly fresh and more vibrant than say Limas on 40. Most impressive to me and what keeps me coming back is the empanadas and the pupusas. Chicken empanada, beef empanada, chicaron pupusa and that yellow sauce is a perfect meal. Also they use their own chicken to do an American style chicken salad that's to die for. Like it's not even fair to other chicken salads if you start with the Peruvian roasted chicken

Chicken was juicy and smoky. Rice was well-seasoned. The sides were also great. Empanada was made-to-order and tasty. Highly recommend this unassuming little spot! Setting was clean and colorful, quiet and appealing. Staff were nice and accomodating to any questions. Can't wait to go again!

Was walking around in a park nearby & we wanted some lunch so we came across this place! I haven't had Peruvian or Salvadoran food in a while so I was happy to see they had both. My partner got the quarter chicken w/ 2 sides & an empanada while I got 3 papusas (2 bean & cheese plus a zucchini & cheese). It so good! Love how stretchy the cheese was & how nicely golden brown they were. The salsa & slaw that came with it was nice & fresh. Would definitely go here again.

Popped in for a quick lunch, and grabbed soup, 2 pupusas and baked plantains. Amazing, all, and it's plenty for lunch tomorrow. The food is fresh and hot, the soup an amazing blend of spinach and cilantro base with chicken and veggies. I chose one bean and cheese and one chicken and veggie pupusa which came with hot sauce and a crunchy slaw. Def a winner for workday lunch or quick dinner pick on the

Halal chicken alert! Someone on Reddit tipped me off to this place and when I arrived I was happy to see the halal certification front and center on the window. We ordered a whole chicken (to celebrate) and went with two orders of chaufa rice and a side of yuca fries. When I arrived home everything was still nice and piping hot. The first thing I had to try was the yellow sauce which easily makes or breaks a good Peruvian chicken meal. It had a kick to it and would definitely be considered spicy by some. I absolutely loved it! The texture was really nice too, instead of the usual smooth sauce it was a bit thicker and chunkier. That really helped the sauce stick to the rice and chicken. The yuca fries were delicious too. They had a perfect crisp to them while maintaining the airy and light center. Luckily I bought an extra 12 oz tub of sauce because I'll be eating this for the rest of the week. I talked to the owner before I left and mentioned no review on here mentioned it was halal and I was going to change that. You can tell this place is a mom and pop shop by how much they care about the opinions and concerns of their customers. 10/10 I'll be adding this place to my rotation.

I enjoyed my lunch of chicken empanadas and a pupusa at this cute little place. They also have Peruvian chicken alla brassa, grilled steak with a variety of side dishes such as plantains, rice, and vegetables. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The service is pretty quick and helpful.

Overall: excellent flavorful and balanced Peruvian food, reasonable prices, kind service, super casual ambiance, with single stall restrooms They have a little bit of indoor and outdoor seating. The inside was a little bit disorganized and they had two TVs playing, but the employees were super kind and I loved the food. I love places where I can order family style. We got a whole chicken and sides which tends to be a great deal for the amount of food you get. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The green sauce was great. The sides were fine. I love that I could get fresh veggies and the plantains were perfect. I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese but my son crushed it. The beef empanada was one of the best empanadas I've ever had and I loved how the pickled onions paired with the richness of it. I'll def be back.

summary: new-ish Peruvian joint with a lot of great options. Great flavor on a lot of the food, but indoor seating might be a bit on the tight side. Good option for food delivery or takeout. When you first step in, it's kind of set up like a buffet bar where you select from a set of main entree options (size of chicken + number of side options like mac and cheese, rice, yucca fries, etc.) or you can pick from side offerings (e.g. empanadas). The chicken is tasty and cooked well and the sauces that go with it are on point. We got zucchini, rice, plaintains, and mac and cheese for our sides. The mac & cheese was kind of like an instant mac style, which isn't for me personally, but I could see it being a great option for those who like that style (our kiddo loved it). The other sides were well prepared and were yummy. To me, the star of the show was the beef+cheese empanada I ordered. It came with a side of pickled onions and it was delicious. Great crisp to the wrapper and the filling was very well seasoned and a great balanced bite. My only regret was not ordering more. There's not too much going on as far as ambiance and service goes. It's very much a "bus your own table" type of vibe, which to be clear, there's nothing wrong with that; just know that it's a pretty casual spot to dine. Service was kind and attentive. Definitely one of the better Peruvian spots in the area and we'll be back again.

Heads up EC, you need to check out this locally owned and operated charbroil chicken spot. Service: When I walked in, the owners greeted me as I looked over the menu. I told them I was feeding a group of four and they recommended a whole chicken, carne asada, 4 chicken empanadas, black beans, fried rice, plantains and plenty of sauce. I thought this would be overkill, but my crew was hungry. (We ate everything.) Food: While the staff worked on my order, the owner gave me a complementary passion fruit drink to enjoy. The bright tropical flavor and a hint of sweetness is the perfect way to extinguish the heat of the hot sauce. The chicken is flipping delicious! Perfectly cooked (even the chicken breast) juicy and savory. It's delicious with or without the sauce. You'll be fighting with your friends for more. The empanadas are brilliant. They're stuffed with juicy chicken, veggies, seasoning and the empanada are still hot when I got to my friends house. I don't eat red meat, but my friend told me the cook was medium rare (aka perfection). The fried rice was not my favorite side. I would prefer plain white rice but i had to give it a try. But... I loved the pickled onions and the black beans. Reminded me of my abuela's cooking. Ambiance: Inside is a festive with flags, bright colors and promotional advertising that grabs your attention. Overall, I can't wait to go back to support this mom and pop shop.
