I am very disappointed with the quality and freshness of the Alfajor, which I purchased to take home. At first bite, I had to spit it out - it was stale and old. I don't understand how a restaurant can damage its reputation by selling stale and old food. I suggest the least you can do is to put an expiration date on your products.

This location unfortunately does not live up to the quality of some of the other's in love and attention to their food. It's been hit or miss for a while now. The tostones were hard as Crackers, the seasoning was missing and it was over cooked. The chicken was juicy but didn't have the same flavor (salt, garlic, spice) as this franchise typically has. The daily special, Chopchop, was missing key components, corn and lime and seasoning)... I will continue to go to the other locations because I love the food over all an the staff is awesome but 9th street has disappointed me to many times.

another - the girl at the register - review. there were issues with my order from the second i walked in. it wasn't her fault at all but she was acting as though i did something to cause the problem. I waited a half hour for an order that should have been ready when I arrived. she handed me the bag and said, make sure everything is in there. it's YOUR job to check the bag and assure ME everything is in there. I grabbed the bag and walked out thinking to myself, after all this they surely got the order right. Nope. I should have checked. I was missing 2 out of the 6 items.

The menu is simple, which makes it so easy to decide what to order. It's the perfect spot for a quick meal when you’re hungry and don’t want to wait. The staff is friendly, and the service is consistently great. Highly recommend if you want something delicious without the long wait!

Most delicious chicken! Incredible fries! Great black beans and rice! Don’t miss out!
My nephew has been raving about Alpaca for a few months and I finally tried it. It exceeded expectations!
I went to the location near Duke. I love that they serve the food on real plates and they use real silverware!
I’ll be back the next time I’m in Durham!

This is just a great restaurant that is consistently ???. smoky, spicy, juicy, tender chicken. Insanely good green sauce. And the French fries are maybe the best I have ever had. And it is affordable and the people are great. I usually get a half chicken and double fries to go for $16 and that is enough for two meals. ?

Dry flavorless chicken. They can barely put any sides on the plate. Charge you 15$+ for chicken and rice and they're stingy with the rice. The cheapest food known to man. I'm paying 15 dollars and you're stingy.
