Super good! The staff here is SO kind, so friendly. My main complaint is the portion size- especially for the chicken! The piece of chicken I got with my chicken plate (dark meat) was very very small, especially since about half of it was bone! The food itself was very good, the chicken came right off the bone, the green beans had a good sauce on top of them and the plantains were really good! I placed my order on the app and it was ready within 10 minutes. They have a good amount of seating inside, but I seemed most popular to order ahead and pick up or order to-go. I first really heard about this place through their sponsorship with UNC athletics, so wanted to give them a try, and I would definitely go back- just would see options for more chicken, etc!

Excellent food, great atmosphere, and good service. It was a little busy when we got here, but the line moved quickly. I got the lomo soltado and it was great. Portion size was slightly small, but enough for me to be full. Steak was tender, onions were tasty, and fries got the meat juice on them. A bit salty, but overall tasted phenomenal. Others got chicken and said it was incredibly juicy.

This location has become increasingly stingy when it comes to portion size. The flavors are still there but nowhere near worth it to pay nearly $20 for a few bite sized pieces of steak. If you have to eat here, get just the standard chicken breast and drums. Don’t waste your money on anything else

Food was good, plantains were fabulous!! As the norm, white chicken dries out easily, and this was cooked then grilled. But it was good with the yellow sauce!! The fries, tomatoes, peppers, and onions were excellent!! Definitely recommend, but get sauce!

Great staff efforts to please customers, especially when things got busy. A staffer brought our side dish of green beans to our table when it wasn’t ready when we placed our order. He brought it to us hot out of the kitchen and it was delicious as the rest of our ½ chicken order. I thought the chicken was too small, but it was very well seasoned and roasted. Definitely enjoyed the hearty yucca fries. We’ll definitely be back.

Akshay with Offline – Stopped by Alpaca Chicken in Chapel Hill, and it turned out to be a great spot for fresh, healthy, and flavorful food. They specialize in grilled chicken and a variety of sides, making it a solid choice for a satisfying meal.
We ordered the half chicken, which comes with two sides. The chicken was well-cooked, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. For sides, we picked the yuca fries and house fries — both were crispy and delicious, with the yuca fries being a standout.
They offer two sauces: a yellow sauce and a green sauce. The green sauce is especially good — flavorful and the perfect complement to the chicken.
For dessert, we tried the tres leches cake and caramel pudding, and both were fantastic. A sweet ending to a great meal.
Overall, Alpaca Chicken is a great choice for healthy, hearty food with plenty of flavor. Definitely worth a visit!

Are we feeding adults or preschoolers here? Four minuscule pieces of chicken for an order of chicken saltado. If you can even call it that. Should do a charge back with my bank just for wasting my time

I think the food here is pretty good. I have ordered here several times. The only problem is they mess up my pick-up/online orders so often. It’s amazing how many times I have picked up an order for something to be wrong or left out. It’s a good practice in general for any place, but definitely always check your pick up order here because it’s inevitable they will eventually mess up.
