I was very angry on how they served my arroz chauffa And then the taste of it was not there. I am Peruvian and I won’t be lied to won’t be going back until I get an answer for the way. My food was served and it was cooked.

Chicken has a wonderful seasoning. The yuca could have a garlic sauce, would it have been better. Great rice.

This was the first time myself and my SO visited this restaurant. The food and service were very good. The woman educated me on what each item was because I had no idea. She recommended the rotisserie chicken and of course I had to get their plantains! I've never had Peruvian food and this was my first time trying everything. I recommend, it seems like a mom and pop. I would go again!

Pico De Oro is my catering go-to spot. When my kids graduated from high school, I used Pico De Oro for their graduation parties in 2018 and 2019. Everyone loved the food so much that when they graduated from college in 2022 and 2023, it was requested to use them again. We ordered chicken, fried rice, beans, and plantains, and all my friends and family loved the food. The owners handled the orders from start to finish professionally in person and over the phone. I highly recommend this business.

Delicious! Came in for lunch bc I wanted to try the chicken. I got the lunch special which was $11 for 1/4 chicken, 2 sides and a drink. I opted for the yuca fries and plantain which were phenomenal. I forgot to snap my pic before starting to eat bc the smell was intoxicating. It comes with two sauces a yellow and a green. The yellow was not for me but the green was so good- dk what it was but it had a hint of lime and the yuca fries were definitely complimented by dipping them in there. The chicken is the draw of course and it was so worth it, it's flavorful and moist and so good. The lady behind the counter was sweet and helpful and recommended the lunch special which was the perfect amount for a quick lunch. The ambience was simple. There are some cosmetic issues throughout but no matter, the place is clean and has everything you need for a delicious meal. Don't sleep on this spot!

Best chicken I've ever had! Get there early. Sometimes they run out of chicken.

Quite possibly the best piece of non-fried chicken I've ever tasted. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. Large portions and the green sauce, OMG... I could drink the stuff by itself! The fried rice was super flavorful. The plantains were sweet and cooked just right. Customer service was top notch and the lunch specials are a great value. What more can I say? Don't walk... Run!

Amazing food, well priced. Chicken is juicy and tasty. Sides and sauces are on point. Definitely a repeat spot.

I had seen this place for a while and decided to give it a try a month ago. The chicken is absolutely fantastic. I love getting the arroz chaufa and the maduros as sides. I am glad this place is around. Only issue is the A/C is not working so dining in right now is a chore in this heat. Perhaps I'll try their other dishes down the line.

I'm a man who hates going to a small scale restaurant and seeing frozen food and nothing Worth coming back for. This is great food, served in 3 minutes flat. Plantains are Authentic, fresh and it's simple and natural, hard to find all 3. The chicken is spot on, top tier final boss status chicken with the green sauce ?. Rice is what it is, its as simple as changing to a higher tier brand, cause the flavor is really good. Mix in the yellow sauce and that good ol chicken juice its ???. Definitely Stop by. I had a HELLA good lunch here. Fureal, I'm still eating it and MY GAWD.
