The good: the ceviche was really, really good. Nice and fresh. Asked for spicy and it was not really that spicy but the taste was there and it was good. The fried yuca was great as well. Hoemmade chicha morada was good too. These are the only reason it gets 2 stars.
The bad: everything else. The pollo a la brasa was DRY. The seasoning was very cumin heavy and tasted like the one from the jar at the grocery store. The aji verde is watery, not a hint of spice. Because it was not spicy, we asked for rocoto. I don’t know what they brought us, but it tasted like blended up bell peppers with tabasco added. Tasted awful. My partner asked the server what this was, and she told him rocoto. She pointed to another table amd said they are Peruvian and they are eating it. My partner, who is very, very Peruvian, told her that he is also Peruvian and this is not rocoto. She admitted they put tabasco in it. The one out of a jar at the store tastes better. My MIL’s tastes a heck of alot better. Oh, and they CHARGE EXTRA for their watery flavorless sauces for their dry chicken. If we didnt ask for aji we would have not got any. Never in my life have I seen a place charge for this. The salad we got was watery and came with no dressing. Saw a kid at another table putting ketchup on his salad because what the heck else was he supposed to do? The service was not good. Our server was rude even when we politely asked about the sauces. She dropped the avocado from my salad and did not replace it. This place is extremely overpriced as well. We won’t be back and will continue to look for a pollo a la brasa spot that can even hold a candle to the awesome places we used to frequent in NJ. This place ain’t it.

I go in for take out. Every time the food is super delicious. I get the whole chicken and sides. I’ve yet to try other dishes yet. I’m obsessed with the chicken.

Really excellent. Humble place with excellent food. Of course the rotisserie chicken is what they’re justifiably famous for, but other Peruvian dishes are terrific too. Beef heart anticuchos are delicious and moist, served with excellent potatoes and corn. Ceviche pescado could not have been fresher. Ají de gallina, my favorite Peruvian dish, is done so beautifully here, with shredded rotisserie chicken in a luscious mild ají amarillo sauce. I like to go here right before the airport, but do leave extra time as they are not fast.

The place is good the chicken’s good I have no complaint about the food but I went to order something a combination plate and I didn’t want fries and she didn’t want to give me double the yuca she wanted me to pay for yuca it’s a easy Exchange I’ll never go back it’s just the principle of it

Wonderful pollo a la brasa, well seasoned. Homemade juices were great and a wonderful customer service.
Original design new design, simple and efficient.
What I like besides food, is the fact that you can watch live soccer games….love the spirit.

I had the papa a la huancaina. It was on the bland side, having too many potatoes and not enough sauce.

Authentic chicken and chica morada. I recommend getting the chica with the diced up fruit for more of a tang!
This place is authentic Peruvian, as I said above. They don’t have your typical white/yellow sauce and green sauce combo – albeit having a delicious papa a la huancaina type yellow sauce with a kick (I really liked it). I thought it be important to mention the sauces as I know the majority of my friends die for the sauces.
I deducted a star simply because of the very tight seating arrangements and the relatively hefty fees for extra sauces – I got crema salvadoreña for my plantains and it ran me $2.
All in all, the pricing is good for the value, in my opinion, and the service is quick.

The chicken definitely has changed its flavor. Also be careful when you get your bill they give you your check with a total not detailed so when you get your total you add a tip to a already top

Bring a translator if you only speak English. Other than that the food was fantastic and the drink was delicious.
