As a born and raised Peruvian, I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Considering that we are in the US, it was a really good pollo a la brasa. The seasoning was good (maybe a bit stronger would be better), the sauces were authentic (although maybe they were a bit too liquid and also need stronger flavor), and the prices and atmosphere were not bad. Don’t get me wrong, it still doesn’t compare to my favorite pollo a la brasa restaurants in Peru. That said, they do a good enough job that it scratches an itch that I don’t think any other place can here. I’m glad they represent this little and delicious branch of Peruvian cuisine, and if any of you like them, you must travel to Perú and try this style there.

I'm a frequent customer because we think it's so good, but unfortunately, today we didn't fully enjoy it because they gave us some really watery sauces, as they normally are! And for those of us who are familiar with these flavors, sauces are an important part of it! I regret having bought extra, as always, and they sent me something super liquid.

Tried Machu Chicken with my fiancé and we got the A Lo Pobre and Chicken Bowl, both were delicious. The steak was juicy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender with super fresh veggies. That yellow sauce on the side? Next level. The lemongrass lemonade was crisp and refreshing, just what I needed. Friendly service and top-quality food can’t wait to be back!
If you want the best chicken go to MACHU CHICKEN it’s sooooo good. Food didn’t take long the inside is a nice beautiful chill area to eat and enjoy your food. Trust me go here!

Not Worth the Price Tag. If you’re craving Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken, you might be tempted to try Machu Chicken—but be prepared for sticker shock. The prices here are surprisingly high, to the point where even a Whole Foods rotisserie chicken feels like a bargain in comparison. And with Market Basket just around the corner offering much better deals, it’s hard to justify the cost.
Sure, the chicken has decent flavor, but at these prices, you’d expect something exceptional—and it just doesn’t deliver. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal that won’t break the bank, you’re better off heading elsewhere.

I really like the food here, but the pricing is just not viable for me. The chicken is good, but not stellar and I know I can walk a couple blocks and get much the same thing at the market basket rotisserie chicken. I honestly will probably go back and just get the sides and then pick up a market basket rotisserie chicken.
I think my expectation is probably for a half chicken + a free side (yucca/beans/etc.) to be around $15-16 while a quarter chicken with the free side to be $10-12.
The beans are amazing and the yucca was crunchy even though it was packed in a plastic box. But the price point is simply too high to recommend when there are other more affordable options for a much lower price within walking distance. The store next to it, Hen, seems to suffer from this same problem.
They finally opened again, this place has excellent Peruvian-style food with excellent service, especially the Colombian woman who works for lunch.

Today I ordered 1/2 chicken with large fries to go and to my surprise my order had small fries not the large I ordered and paid for. I called them immediately and they said I could come back and they would make it right, they just gave me another small fries and called it good. Oh, I got a “sorry”. I stood there thinking when are they going to offer me a drink or a dessert for the inconvenience of having to come back and wasting my time. Nothing. My time means nothing to them, I guess my business means nothing to them. Sadly, this is the last time I eat there.

The chicken and yucca fries were good. Nothing amazing but fine. What I expect for Peruvian charcoal chicken. The Andean salad was completely disappointing and plain. Over-priced for what you got. No flavor and didn’t even have spinach in it. I added our chicken and side of fried sweet potatoes (flavorless as well) to it to add some flavor and substance to the salad. We asked if the sauces had been included in our to-go order. They were not which was very disappointing.
Delicious food
