Customer Reviews

"My review is for the takeout Pollo a la Brasa. The chicken is delicious, served with French fries and a fresh salad. Everything is packed neatly, and the spicy sauces are the highlight. The service is attentive, and while the place is small, it's clean and well kept"

- Mayi B.

"Pretty good Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian rotisserie). Best flavor on this side of the valley. A bit on the saltier side, but amazing still. They do have the best Arroz Chaufa de Pollo I've had in California though. It's perfect every time. I'm still having trouble figuring out the combination of flavors used. It's simply outstanding and hard to compete with. There was one point I was picking up food here twice a week. I may have warn myself out. After a 4 month hiatus, I'm back and glad to see it's still up to par. I prefer land animals on their menus. At least the times I've had it, seafood can taste a little freezer burned. Sadly. Staff can seem a little rude and rushed. But it's somewhat understandable, seeing that they're always busy and understaffed."

"Estuve alojado cerca, y se me antojo comida peruana. Un acierto este lugar. Primero escoges tus platos en la caja y pagas. Llevan la comida a tu mesa. Las dos veces que fui no estaba lleno. Tambien venden muchos productos peruanos, como: dona Pepa. Precios buenos. Ni tan Caro ni tan barato. El lomo saltado de 10 delicioso. Y el pollo a la brasa con su Inca Kola."

- Bo S.

"Ordered a 1/4 Pollo a las Brasas with double side of salad. Chicken flavor amazing. Really good I'm still feeling it after a few hours. Sure I will be back for the rest of the menu. Nice place. The only downside is that the chicken is too small!!!"

- Luis G.

"Simply amasingly fresh and delicious tasting food which is made to order. I had the arrow con polo and they even offered to make this order with beef instead of chicken. Flavors were strong but not overpowering. The chicken was hot and crisp. The meal is so delicious that you dont want to cloud the taste with a beverage, try water instead. Service is strong in this busy restaurant. Aldo try the green sauce, its green chillies with lettuce, its mighty spicy but high on taste. Parking is limited, but there is plenty of street parking."
