I've eaten 2X at Del Sur and 1X with Cucu, which is prepared at the same restaurant.  Cucu's chicken is extremely dry, and a suspect yellow/red under the skin. The sauces at Cucu are about $4 each (3.95 + tax), but offered for $1.25 from Del Sur in the same quantity for the same sauce! The famed potatoes are neither crisp or flavorful. There is a nice lemon seasoning if you lick the skin but otherwise devoid of flavor. The "chicken soup" pictured in Cucu's menu shows corn cobs--mine had none. The broth is a bit overpowering and salt heavy. It was chunks of celery, mushy squash, a slither of carrot, and 2 strips of dry chicken leg. Another point of annoyance is not delivering in a half-mile radius (at least on Grubhub). And ideally if its a combined restaurant, you'd get to order from each menu in ONE online order---but you cant. And you will grossly overcharged for sauces if you order Cucu. Sauces with dairy may be sitting out or heated for who knows how long. For $18 I won't bother returning for Cucu specifically. And hopefully the restuarant can figure out these order issues and charge people fairly for the same item, and not misrepresent items because the bowls at Del Sur are a great value

TAKE OUT REVIEW: Had this food on set at a studio nearby, they forgot one whole order of protein so deducing stars. Buuut food wise, everything was really great and SEASONED. Everything felt so perfectly seasoned and salted. Chicken could’ve been a lil more juicy but otherwise, it was tender and seasoned really well. Would totally order again and if I ever see it on set, I’ll be happy.

amazing food!!! chicken very moist and flavorful, and the sides are to die for as well. Roasted Cucu potatoes are AMAZING! excellent lemony flavor accompanied by cilantro, tastes exquisite! Also definitely recommend the Corn Salad: fresh corn mixed with fennel and fresh herbs (dill, tarragon, mint) - a flavorful party in your mouth! 100% recommend for everyone to try!! :)
