A fast food type of operation. The chicken is roasted and seasoned to perfection. You have a choice of various sides. My friend and I had the fried Plantains and fried rice. The Plantains were fried nicely, and the rice was cooked well. My friend chose a Mango drink for her beverage and she really enjoyed it. This will be a regular in our rotation.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking is not by the door but several door downs.

Great value and fun for my palate in that Peruvian differs so much from typical Mexican-restaurant food.

This is forest hill location…..Went for a lunch today and as I was waiting for my food to be prepared I noticed one of the workers stirring up a huge pot of white rice. As she is stirring, she sticks her hand in the rice to scoop some up and proceeds to put the rice in her mouth… again she does it and I got a phone call telling the person on the phone what I observed… the person on the phone called the restaurant and the person who answered the phone couldn’t speak English…. So I decided to write this review about the worker who did this…. Won’t be going back…. Just plain Nasty

They are not open anymore but didn’t update google so i wasted a drive. Shame because This place was really good. Its different than other Peruvian chicken places and has interesting sides like fried rice and red skin potatoes.

3rd time ordering take out and the food was good. My problem is with the rude telephone lady and always an issue with the $8 Guacamole. I received my order with a less than half container of watered down mess. Called and they said the container of Guacamole is made from one avocado and they can't determine how big it is and how much Guacamole is made from it???? Last container was filled to the top. This one is barely full and looks eaten out of. Both $8. Suffice to say won't be ordering the Guacamole anymore.

Was expecting food to be way better
Celery chicken was worst then KFC
Over salted flooding in mayo sauce and was hard .beef was better but nothing to be 5 stars and seafood soup was large but locking imagination not to Peruvian standards for 20$.
3 guys were working hard but had to wait 40 min for mine appetizers.
Meanwhile about 7 people got their food to go that didn't order it prior.
I have to honest there maybe other orders better than I got but I have to rate what I received. Overall 3 out of 5 it's fare.For the chicken alone I would rate 1 star.

Good fast food. Peruvian food with chickens rotating around a fire. Good variety of side dishes and appetizers to choose from. I recommend the anticucho!
Vegetarian options: Lots of side dishes that are great vegetarian mains. The potatoes are great, or you can choose fried rice or red beans and rice, green beans, and plantains, accompanied by a salad. Order items separately (you'll have leftovers), or get it in a bowl.
Get the tres leches for dessert. :)

Used to meet up here once sometimes twice a month with a couple of friends from church.
The food is good and it always smells delicious in there.But the food could be better if they didn't put so much salt in it.
Customer service it depends on the day. Just my honest opinion but I would recommend it but just be careful of the salt content.

Laburnum location. Literally WASTED MY ENTIRE LUNCH HOUR waiting for my food, while the lone staffer giggled & flirted with the gent who ordered stacks & stacks of pans (why didn't he call this order in?) She appeared distracted & confused overall. After waiting 45 mins at my table, I finally had get up, go to the counter & change my order to takeout.
There was 1 other person dining in; the place was near empty. Yet my wait was WAY longer than when it's packed. Lastly--if the container is too small, PLEASE just....get....another. My container cracked & fell apart when I finally got to sit down & eat. Lackadaisical, slipshod service--I will NOT be visiting this location again.
