Best chicken in town!! Tender, delicious and freshly made daily! Amazing quick service!

Don’t bother food wasn’t very good. Service was terrible . One guy working in there doing everything. No sit down service. Chicken was very salty and had far too much cumin ! We eat Peruvian food all the time in Los Angeles and this isn’t even close to the way it is supposed to taste. Rice was very salty also and even the coleslaw!

Best chicken I’ve ever tasted. Sides were tasty, loved the fried rice and the sauces. Had both of the fresh juices and they were amazing. Couldn’t be more impressed. Coming back 100%.

It’s a me! Sorry I had to (IYKYK). On to the food. I couldn’t take a picture of my own food because I ate every damn bite. The yuca fries were a first and definitely won’t be my last. Their specialty is chicken and boy is it! We tried both of the specialty beverages and liked them both. I have no clue what authentic Peruvian cuisine tastes like but this place sure set the bar high!

Maybe it is because I went on a Monday, the chicken was salty and dry. The yucca fries were already cooked and the guy threw it back in the fryer and served it. The arroz chauffa was salty but had flavor. Very different experience compared to what others have said.

I am Peruvian however being fair and honest this place is 0 zero to recommend. Bad quality. No fresh ingredients so greasy food and the place is unpresentable (ugly) the menu is not varied. I ordered a mostrito, the rice chaufa only had green onions and boxed eggs and a lot of oil and soy sauce. the coleslaw was rancid old . I am a cooker so I know about food. that salad would have been stored for a couple of days or was without proper refrigeration. the coleslaw was pickled. I am a cook and I know about food. that salad would have been stored for a couple of days or was without proper refrigeration. Vine de lejos y me di de cara con este lugar muy mal ambiente y peor comida. See the pictures I couldn’t eat all. I tossed. Wasting my money to the garbage.

The chicken is quite good; fall-off-the-bone tender and moist. I also really liked both sauces. I was disappointed that they didn't have Yuca fries - ordered Green Beans and Slaw instead and those were both just okay. The restaurant was clean and service was good enough. I'll be back for more chicken!

Online ordering works but you can't pay unless you sign up and give your debit card. No worries We stop in at 645, no chicken. You are open til 900 an your name says chicken. Oh well we tried, horrible business people.

I happened to stayed at a hotel in Summerville so I drove almost an 45 mins on Tuesday evening and then I saw a big accident on the opposite side of highway but that still didn’t stop me. The reason I only went there is because of the alfajores lol. Of course like any other Peruvian restaurant, sells out quick except the ones in Delaware lol I’m from Maryland and I always get my dishes customized since I’m a picky eater. I hope they add pollo saltado in their menu. For a second I thought the place was closed because the shopping center looked dark and without lights being on. some store moved out or went out or business. But then right at that corner of the shopping center I saw an open sign. I ordered arroz chaufa with pulled chicken and it was really good, the portion was big enough to feed two. 2 empanadas which I only end up eating one in the restaurant because I forgot to eat the other that I left in the hotel. Lol the empanada was good since they were baked which is a plus. Can’t really have too much fried food but guess what? I tried their fried plantain which was good. Serving was 4 pieces but I only had two since I can’t have too many on a late night. Their pionono was excellent. The chicha morada was good just needed a little lime juice. Their sauces were ok. The rocoto wasn’t spicy and didn’t taste the rocoto. The ají amarillo was the same, I taste the mayo more than ají, but it does taste home made. If you’re ever in Charleston SC this is the spot to go to. Maybe next time I’ll called in advance before I fly to sc just for alfajores. Lol Will stop by again in the future. A+ for Peruvian flavor and the service.

Phenomenal whole chickens that are seasoned to perfection. most important thing is the place is impeccably clean it is a must try!
