Canastas Chicken

What do ya’ll know about driving 30+ min for some food? I recommend the Lomo Saltado & Inca Kola (authentic Peruvian dish & soda). Straight gas, no brakes!

Was told this deal is only good for Holidays, but nothing states this on this advertisement poster at all, so I said well great it’s MLK day, and the staff replied it was a Valentine’s Day special and they never took down the sign🤨

I've gone to this place a few and the food is awesome. Well let me just say I had the lamb chops. They are a little expensive but well worth it. I also got the green rice....I don't remember the name and I've gotten green beans andor a salad. The food is great you all have to try it. You will also go back for more and spread the word. They have two locations that I know of one is in Durham and a new one that just opened up in Wake Forest!

One of the best Peruvian restaurants I’ve ever been to! The anticuchos are absolutely heavenly. The maduros and the mollejitas were cooked just right and the atmosphere is incredible! Que viva Perú🇵🇪

This is very good food! Lots of flavor!! I am on the road and I lucked out with this one!

Good portions, consistently well prepared food. Everything we've eaten here has been delicious. Recommended dishes are the lomo saltado, arroz chaufa, souvlaki chicken. Looking forward to trying more menu items - so much to still explore. I'm confident that anything on the menu will taste good.

I'm sorry to say but, I did not get any special taste while eating this food. I asked for dark meat 🍖 but was told they didn't have any so I got confused. So the waitress recommended the special which was white meat, grilled chicken breast. Well, I enjoyed the rice and beans, paid and left. Will I go back for another meal? No! I can say I don't like Peruvian food? I loved all kinds of food but this one had no distinct taste that is different.

The food was great!

My wife and I don’t eat much, so we shared a quarter dark chicken meal with two sides: green beans and red potatoes ($14). The portion may typically good for one person.

We also ordered a seafood soup, which came with rice ($24).

The green beans were excellent — flavorful, tender but not mushy. Good enough to satisfy a food-loving Chinese customer!

The chicken was also excellent — the skin was slightly crisp, the meat tender but not dry, and the flavor rich without being heavy.

The red potatoes were just okay — not bad, but nothing special.

The seafood soup was very good: slightly spicy, with plenty of real seafood. Nothing to criticize there. And the white rice was excellent!

It seems that, in addition to affordable meals like chicken, the restaurant also serves higher-end specialty dishes, such as chewers and seafood soup. There’s definitely more for us to explore next time.
