I've been on a mission to try every Peruvian pollo a la brasa in NYC, hoping to find the ones that have the same taste as the ones back in Lima. Chrip is nearly spot on. Amazing tasting chicken that actually tastes like Peruvian pollo a la brasa instead of the 5 spices some other places do. Chicken was so succulent. The green sauce was so good.
The other star of the show here is the Pork confit sandwich which is a nod to the traditional Peruvian pan con chicharrón. It was SOO GOOD. Pork was so tender and the flavours were incredible. I've been back a few times and gotten it every time.
Probably my fave Peruvian pollo spot in Manhattan at the moment. Highly recommend!

I’ve been a loyal customer at the Chirp location for a while, and I order from there literally every day. But I need to call out a truly frustrating issue that happens only at this particular branch when I order through Uber Eats. Unlike any other location of theirs, they refuse to let me have my chicken boneless unless I order it in a specific bowl or with rice. It makes no sense. When I’m physically at the restaurant, they do it for me without a problem. But through Uber Eats, if I call to clarify that I want boneless chicken, I keep being told it’s not possible.
It’s honestly ridiculous that I have to order my chicken in a certain way just to get it boneless. And it seems to be the same employee every time who refuses to accommodate this simple request. This doesn’t happen at any other Chirp location and never in person, only here!! and only through delivery. It’s just absurd. Please address this because it really ruins the experience.

I really like the food, probably one of the best pollos a la brasa in Manhattan but the cashier was super rude and didn’t even know what palta meant, so disappointed on having to say aguacate even though this is a Peruvian place

Are you looking for the tastiest chicken in NYC??? Well, stop! You just found it! This place has the absolute most delicious chicken I've tasted in the Big Apple! Oh, my! Did I talk about the enormous portions?! Yo! I'm super sold! Plus, the service was super quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back. This is my new favourite restaurant 😍

I tried the chicken combo with veggie and brown rice . It was mediocre . Not wowy.
Awesome food, and very friendly staff. Owner is the best!

Exemplary Service Above and Beyond – A Rare Gem in Manhattan
I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional professionalism and dedication of Boris, the manager at Chirp’s 2nd Avenue location. In an era where customer service often feels rushed or impersonal—especially in a fast-paced city like Manhattan—Boris demonstrated what true commitment to excellence look like.
Our office had placed a large group order for 25 people through a third-party delivery platform. Due to a technical glitch, the order was never transmitted to the restaurant. We only discovered this after I called Chirp to check on the delay.
At that moment, Boris could have simply explained the situation, apologized, and moved on—which would have been entirely understandable. Instead, he immediately took ownership of the issue, even though it was not his fault, and told us, “I will take care of this for you.”
True to his word, Boris and his team swiftly prepared the full order—an undertaking that undoubtedly disrupted their normal operations. Not only that, he personally delivered the food to our office, ensuring that our team event wasn’t derailed. Our meals arrived hot, delicious, and everyone was happy.
This level of service is incredibly rare and deserves to be recognized. Boris didn’t just solve a problem—he turned a potential disaster into a moment of gratitude. His actions reflect a commitment to customer satisfaction that is all too uncommon today.
Thank you, Boris, for your integrity and kindness. You’ve earned loyal customers, and we’ll be sharing this story with others as an example of what great service truly looks like.

Good chicken for the price. I would recommend to order chicken with the plantains. Vegetables are ok. Salad is ok.

Food is good. Price is great for 1/4 chicken and 2 sides. I feel like it's much healthier and tastier than things around this area. And you get much more for your money!
