"Beyda points out that visually locating the fast-casual can be a challenge, as it is positioned between a gas station and a hotel, but the scent of burning wood led the way. She noted the restaurant’s atmosphere is “surprisingly peaceful,” thanks to earth tones and music, and the line moves quickly." - Erin Russell

This was so good that I went twice in one week to fit more in before I went back to Arlington. Fairly priced, large portions. The sauces are the magic. The gentleman at the counter is patient and so helpful. I got the Peruvian fried rice with beef. Twice. Ha!

I'll be up front and say that I'm not into chicken dishes, but I was craving something healthier and gave this place a try since it's down the road from our home. I was stoked to hear that all their side dishes are gluten free, even the mac and cheese, which is really good! And I love that all the items on the menu are labeled as being gluten free (GF) or not. The yuquitas rellanas (also GF) were kind of like fried mashed potato balls and was our favorite dish. The portions were good sizes and the food wasn't overly salty like other restaurants (both pluses in my book). It seemed that the flavors primarily come from the side sauces. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of side sauces. In hindsight, I should have bought the sauce sampler so that we could figure out which ones we liked and would have enough for all the food. But not really understanding that, we just pushed through the meal wanting a bit more flavor. Don't let the drive through window fool you...it takes a while to get the food (which is absolutely fine, especially because it came out fresh and hot). Pay at the register, take a number and a seat (if dining in). There were plenty of seats but not a lot of people dining in. The decor is simple but neat.

They were busy but the service was great! We ordered a gallon of the chicha morada because we are addicted! 😍 My boyfriend and I wished the gallon could have been topped off a bit more but no complaints it did not disappoint lol We ordered the Chicken Fried Rice and Fettucine Al Jugo it was delicious 🤤

If you're looking for a good healthy choice in Chicken...Inka Chicken is the place. Great atmosphere friendly service.

Food is good. Decent portion sizes. Taste is good but not excellent. The sauces I ordered tasted good. Surprised that the spicy sauce (green) was not that much spicier than their mild sauce. Good enough that will eat here again if I am on my own and in a rush, but not really somewhere would bring a group of friends too.

Dont recomend at all. I paid 31.27 for one person which is outrageous. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with Lomo al jugo and a tutti frutti drink. The food was watery. Had a few bites and threw it away.

The food is outstanding. The building on the outside hides a true gem on the inside. It's not formal dining, and it's not fast food, even though they have a drive thru. The interior is nice.....the food....let's just say it's worth way more then they charge for it. It's a true hidden place that you'll love.

This was my first time trying this place and I liked it for the most part. The chicken was so juicy, delicious, and well seasoned. I can’t remember what the green sauce was, but it was very fresh and tasty with a little kick of heat. I also liked the chicken empanadas and the crispy breading on them. I was not a big fan of the black beans, rice, or beef empanadas; They were all a little too herbaceous for me. I must add that the food was plated beautifully. Overall 8/10.

Terrific spot for unique and delicious Peruvian dishes. The chicken is excellent, but don't overlook the other specialties. The ceviche was particularly nice, as was the Tallarines Verdes. We have been several times and everything has been very good. The starters and sides are nice, too and offer enough vegetarian options to satisfy the non-carniverores in your group. Don't let the fast food look of the exterior fool you, this is some excellent food! Counter service, delivered to your table. Everything seems to be cooked to order so it's not quick, but not unreasonable. Plenty of comfortable tables and a TV usually showing soccer (futbol) games. The crew is friendly and hard working. They offer 6-8 bottled beers, soft drinks, etc.

There are so many choices on the menu, you can easily be overwhelmed. But I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with whatever you do end up getting. My friend and I shared a half chicken with yuca frita and sweet plantains and it was the perfect amount to feed two. The chicken was so juicy and tender. And I love that it comes with tortillas so you can make your own little wrap. We got medium spice level sauce (it was kind of like spicy mayo but im not sure what it actually was) but it honestly wasn't that spicy at all. And the sides were both delicious, it surprisingly wasn't too heavy.

My go-to for roasted chicken. Do not--I repeat-- do not skip the chicken. Typically my family and I order one of the family meals which comes with a whole chicken and your side of choices and corn or flour tortillas. The chicken is roasted perfectly making the skin charred and crispy while the meat remains soft and juicy. My favorite side are the black beans, plantains and yucca frita. Also check out the lomo saltado which has sautéed beef, vegetables, fries, and rice. I've been here quite a few times now and they always seem to get our tortilla order incorrect. We order corn but they always bring flour tortillas! Nevertheless, the family meals provide you with so much food already that I personally don't need the extra side of carbs so it's not a deal breaker.

After browsing through Yelp, my dad and I decided to go with this place because their page said we could get free ice cream if we checked in... which was not the case lol! However, I'm still glad we came because their food was really delectable! Operations run kind of like a fast food chain, where you order up at the counter, grab a number, and they bring it to your table once it's ready, but it's definitely slower because their food is of higher quality and requires longer prep times. They even have a drive-thru, which I'm curious to know how long it takes for the customer to receive the food because it already took a really long time when dining in. It wasn't necessarily packed when we went during dinner time, but there were maybe 5 or 6 parties in total, including my dad and I. We ordered 2 starters and one specialty plate, which was just the right amount to share between 2 people. My dad and I waited for 35 minutes, and as I mentioned, it wasn't like the place was packed to the brim, but I also don't know how busy the drive thru was either. When 35 minutes had passed, and I was honestly starting to get really really hungry, I flagged a worker down to let him know that more than 30 minutes had gone by, and we hadn't even received the appetizers yet. Not sure if that made a difference in speeding up the process, but they eventually brought it out to us a minute or two later. Then the specialty plate came out a few minutes after as well. For our starters, I was originally going to order the yuquitas rellenas because I had heard positive things about em, but the employee said they wouldn't be able to serve it for another month for whatever reason I couldn't catch. Therefore, we ended up going with the beef empanada and the tostones baskets, which were both great options!! The beef empanada was pretty big. It had a nice outer crispy shell, and the inside was filled with juicy, tender beef that had a bit of a sweet taste from the marinade. I was anticipating something totally different, like ground beef, so this took me by surprise (a good one)! It was served with some kind of sauce on the side, it reminded me of the chuy's jalapeño dip. The tostones had to be my dad and I's favorite. Everything was so fresh and the combination of avocado, salsa criolla, and queso fresco with the tostones and rice was AMAZING. They loaded that thang up generously with all the toppings. Pretty darn filling and pretty darn good for $8. As for the specialty plate, I wasn't sure what to expect, I just opted for a chicken dish and read a few reviews on the causa limena de pollo. My first initial thought when I saw the dish come out was like woah this is smaller than I thought it'd be and I also wondered why it took so long to prepare because when I looked at it, I figured these were ingredients that could have already been premade. But I don't want to make assumptions, and plus, they made the presentation of it look so beautiful!! It honestly tasted like ordinary potato salad with shredded chicken to me, so it didn't exactly blow me away. I probably wouldn't order it again, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to try such a delicacy. I went back up to the cashier and asked him about the ice cream for the yelp check in, and he said they didn't serve ice cream cones anymore. I showed him a review from a month ago, with pictures confirming that the customer received an inka's delight after checking in, but he said that was too expensive to be giving out for free, which I then asked why that customer was able to receive it. He said it's because she really wanted it. I wasn't trying to fight for it, but I just wanted to hear his reasoning, and I wanted to clarify whether this promotion was going to remain on their yelp page or not. He did say they wouldn't be offering it anymore, so I told him it should be taken down then. He let me know that he would consult with his boss. I only wanted to mention all of this as a heads up for anyone who is going to be visiting soon and was expecting to get ice cream at the end haha. Overall really enjoyed the cuisine! Service could be better, but there's always room for improvement! No issues with parking, and there's plenty of indoor seating.

The food here is consistent. It's very convenient that you can dine in or go thorough the drive thru. I've eaten here for lunch, gotten takeout and also picked up food to contribute towards a potluck. All the food is always a hit. E enjoy the family meal chicken with white rice, black beans, steak fries and yucca fries. As an app, the yucca rellenas are my favorite. The juices are also always fresh. My faves are the chicha morada, jugo de tamarindo (tamarind) and jugo de maracuyá (passion fruit). As far as entrees, I've really liked the Lomo Saltado and Tallarines Verdes. It's located at a fast food joint so you order at the counter before you take a seat and they bring your food out to you. It takes a little longer than an actual fast food establishment but it's because you can trust that your food is being cooked fresh. The service is always quick which is great if you're stopping by for lunch. They are very helpful, especially if you may not be as familiar with Peruvian/South American cuisine. Try it out, you won't regret it!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. You can tell the building used to be an old fast food chain restaurant. The interior and exterior are WORN and tired for sure. The inside looks like it was thrown together the baseboards and trim were peeling and warped. The entire place was dirty and tired. Service was good but took 20 mins to get a Togo order. Chicken was ok not great definitely tasted charcoaled but wayyyy too much and tasted like lighter fluid and had absolutely no flavor, the beef empanada was hands down one of the WORST empanada's I've ever had! The dough was soggy and wet, and the filling (what little was in it) reminded me a canned beef chili. The cilantro rice was ok at best but dry, fire roasted corn tasted like lighter fluid from the "grill". I spent $31 and basically should have just put the money in the trash. I will not be returning here at all!

First time coming here and second time trying Peruvian food! We surprisingly didn't get any chicken even though I would assume their chicken is the best according to their name. The Loco a lo Macho is sooo good! My boyfriend kept on eating my dish, which was fine because the portion is also huge! I didn't really know what it was but glad I got it. It comes with potato fries and beef. The sauce is sweet and a little spicy. The Peruvian fried rice is also cooked really well. Very tasty-love the egg on top! The dishes look really great here. Tip: if you check in via Yelp, you get complimentary ice cream!! The ice cream is so good. It comes with fried plantains. I think they were supposed to offer a cone instead of this but I'm not complaining! I'm very happy that this is one of the few places I've been to that actually has a check in reward that works. I'm excited to try more next time!

Wow, this place is good! I ordered a 1/4 chicken and yuka frita. I picked mild for spice but I didn't taste any so I'll try for more spice next time. The chicken was really flavorful and juicy. The yuka frita are so crispy and the sauce they gave me was delicious. They are almost too crispy if you're trying to eat with a fork, but I really enjoyed it. My friend ordered a side of Mac and cheese and that tasted like stouffer's mac and cheese. That's not a bad thing, but it does taste super cheesy. The staff were super friendly, but one of my friends never got one of his sides and had to wait a while to get it. I think there was a miscommunication somewhere since he wanted to cancel that side since he hadn't received it, but they had already made it and then he just got it to go. Tip: if you check in on Yelp, you'll get free ice cream!

Delicious and a nicer option than your typical fast food drive through. Yuca fries are hard to find so thrilled they have them!

This place is a gem if you order the right dish. I've been back twice since first visiting last month. It operates like something a cut above a fast food restaurant. The food tastes more authentic & better quality than what most fast food restaurants offer, but it has a drive-thru. You also have the option to dine in: order your food at the counter, and have it served to you at your table. I've tried the arroz chaufa, lomo saltado, macaroni & cheese, plantains, salad, tres leche cake, and guava juice, which were all excellent. However, I can't recommend their rotisserie chicken, their signature dish... I ordered the quarter chicken and received a small dried out cut of chicken that had far less meat on the bone than a typical chicken breast. If it weren't for this most recent experience, I would have given this casual & yummy spot 5 stars.

Oh my gosh I am so happy I tried this place! I convinced my coworkers to join me here for lunch and we were all big fans. I forgot to take a picture of what I ordered but look at the fettuccine with steak!! So good and hugeee portion so the price is definitely fair. I actually got the 1/4 chicken with the steak fries and the mild and medium sauce. Literally perfect. My coworker got the same thing with Mac and cheese and the side and I can vouch that the Mac is good. The chicken is charcoal rotisserie style and sooo yummy and the fries were great. The sauces were so so good as well. Our food came out very fast and was super hot so the service was great and the restaurant itself is actually pretty cute! We all agreed that we would be returning soon :)

The food here is great! The problem is with service. As I type this review, I have been sitting in the drive-thru for 20 minutes, and I'm pretty sure they forgot I'm here. I truly can't understand why ops is as bad as it is, but it seriously needs to change. Get it together.

5/5 Food 6/5 Service The staff here is what every restaurant should try to achieve. They are very nice and seem to take pride in their work, I was beyond impressed! The chicken? Damn. We didn't even get to it until our baby went to bed, so like 2 hours? Still tender and moist! Like... how!? The marinade or glaze or whatever on it is incredible. We couldn't finish it and ate the rest today, even their day old chicken reheated nicely and tasted so good. For sides, we had Yucca Fries and Black Beans. The amount of flavor they get into such simple items blows my mind. Just do it. Get their chicken and get the black beans and some rice, you won't regret it. The only downside? Hated the sauces. Not docking points because you don't need a side sauce to go with the food. We got the Aji Amarillo and Aji Rocoto - both have mayo in it and uh, way too much. Peruvian is one of my favorite foods and I was excited to have the sauce but these just tasted like mayo with a slight kick. You really don't need any sauce to go with your food anyways, trust me.

Food is superb. Service is great and people are friendly. Sauces are great but I didn't use any for the chicken bc it's flavoring is spot on! That's the only reason I come here. Sauces are great with Yuka fries though. Ambiance - it's decent but people aren't lining up around the block for that. The star of the show is the food, period.

Ralph M.

Yelp
Very nice folks! Ambiance is quite good too. It looks like a fast food drive through place on the outside in a random plaza, but they serve beers and make great charcoal smoked food! Great value for money - lots of good choices!!

Tae K.

Yelp
This place is fantastic. This places does chicken well and I highly recommend them. They are a Peruvian place known for charcoal fired rotisserie chicken. I went for that but their oven broke so they had a fried chicken as an alternative. The chicken is Smokey and packs a punch of flavor. The fried chicken is great too because they use the same marinade as the charcoal chicken. Think of a store bought rotisserie chicken but 12x flavorful. Their cilantro rice is also my favorite side! You cannot go wrong with any of their sauces. I like the medium sauce. This is a great for family night. They have great family meals. If you're wanting to try something different this is the place.

Lizzie M.

Yelp
When we have a hankering for something spicy, fresh and delicious we order the 1/4 white meat chicken and make tacos with the rice/black bean sides. Add their special green sauce (kinda chimichuri) and you have a tasty satisfying lunch or dinner. Highly recommend this former fast food restaurant much improved with homemade offerings.

Jordyn M.

Yelp
The food here has never NOT hit. I typically go for the fettuccine but the dirty Mac and cheese is something I dream about. The fresh drinks are also delightful and fun fact have helped me recover from a hangover My partner constantly speaks highly of the staff and refers to one of the employees as his "bro" (mind you they have never spoken outside the restaurant haha.... Men) We come back frequently and I enjoy the images they have of the food as it motivates me to try new things.

mixed feeling about the place, the steak on the pasta wasn't great but the flavor of paste is fabulous. Service is good and friendly. Likely a 3.5 for me

I am dying to come here again, it has been too long. Something reminded me of this place and I figured I'd drop a review (will add photos when I come back again) What isn't there to love about this place? The food is absolutely divine! I really dig the sauce they give you to dip your chicken in...and literally everything else savory deserves some of that goodness! Oh and who could ever forget the fried plantains!!! I am so grateful to know of a place that offers great food with fried plantains as a side option. Yes please!! The only reason I don't eat here often is that I no longer live a short drive away but man am I looking for a reason to drop by again. Mmmm drooling thinking about it. There is enough seating here but I wouldn't advise coming here with a really large group of people, it isn't all that big. I can't speak much to the service, it hasn't really stood out to me as great or bad either way.

Very causal restaurant tucked away behind a hotel and a 7-11. Only 3 people a head of us when we ordered at the counter which gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and pics. Food took a really long time for it to come out and it came out at different times. The tostones basket was really good but extremely messy. It's basically almost all of their sides wrapped into a snack. The yucca fries (not pictured) was the probably the stand out side for me. It the perfect amount of salt and crispy outside with a soft and not dry center. The seafood fried rice was also really good. Said it was probably the best fried rice I've had. The grilled octopus was good but I expected the tentacles to be bigger. I was not expecting the sauce. It was good and spicy. It needed bread or rice to absorb the sauce. One of the kitchen guys came out and said they were out of the corn so I had to think last minute what I wanted as a side and ended up with the tostones.

Leah G.

Yelp
We come here often for pick up or go through the drive thru. The roasted chicken is awesome, and we always get all of their sauces. Do not miss the fried yuca nor the yucitas rellenas, they are delish! The staff are kind and helpful. The restaurant ambiance is casual, but they did a decent job with decor to make it feel more authentic. Also, do not miss the passionfruit lemonade. So. Tasty.

I am forever disappointed in this restaurant. Disappointment is not even close to how I feel about this lackluster experience. Unfortunately, I am unable to eat onions nor chilies due to health reasons. I was still served chilies with my food and the server just went back to the kitchen to remove the chilies on top of the meat yet the rice continued to have chilies. Aside from that fiasco, there was a baby roach on my plate that can be seen in the picture on the napkin. No sé ni que dicer sobre esta experiencia "culinaria" si se puede mencionar culinaria. Tengo alergias a la cebolla y al chile/ pimiento. De todos modos me sirvieron chilies con mi plato. Además a la camarera no le importó un bledo y también hubo una cucaracha en mi plato que maté con mi servilleta.

Mel W.

Yelp
Some of the best chicken we've ever had! Elevate your taste buds and try it! You think it's just some fast food place but there's hospitality as soon as you walk in and it has a warm cultural vibe. The food was amazing and we will definitely return!

Cilicia L.

Yelp
Staff is friendly and actually opened the door for my friend and I when they realized we were outside chatting while waiting for the restaurant to open. There is a variety of seating and windows around the dining room, so it is bright and lively. I ordered the quarter chicken plate with yuca fries, fried plantains, corn tortillas, and one of their mild sauces. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The majority of the food at this restaurant is gluten-free, so there was a lot for me to choose from. Anything not gluten-free is marked on their menu. They also have vegetarian options marked as well. The chicken is char-grilled in house and seasoned to perfection. The yuca fries are crispy outside and soft inside, and the fried plantain is warm and sweet. The mild sauce I chose is mayo based with a mild pepper. It's sweet and light.

Gabriella G.

Yelp
What a find! Delicious rotisserie chicken (what we came for) but also there's many other menu items that look super appealing! We had the half a chicken with a yuca and fries side and the mild aji sauce (which was delicious and mild and flavorful)- and we were full! You order up front and then get your number and wait for their delivery to your table. It can be a wait, depending on how busy they are, but in good conversation the time flows on by. The atmosphere of this small rotisserie space is very quaint and colorful and there are also 2 tvs showcasing the latest game. Oh I forgot to mention the food they showcase is mainly peruvian favorites, as well as deserts and Inka Kola! Enjoy!

Solid spot. A little pricey but worth it once in awhile. Live close by so try to make it over here every few months.

Yelp saves the day again. We looked around for something a little different and went a bit out of our way to get some chicken. Once you step out of your car, it hits you. The smell of charcoal and something delicious cooking up inside is everywhere. Inside, there's a lot of tables and counter service, with a very extensive menu. With a name like this, the star is going to be the chicken, so we opted for a half and dug in. The chicken is extremely flavorful coated with a bunch of spices and rub that gets singed by the fire. You don't see any of it though because it's shrouded in a huge sheet of aluminum to try and contain all that smoke in the kitchen. That's how you know this is good. Fall off the bone finger lickin good. The sides are a great touch too - the yuca fries are addicting!

I have passed this establishment without giving it a second thought and I am so upset that I have missed out on, not only good food but being around people that you can tell are proud of what they are doing. You can feed a family of 4 easy for under $35 and this is NOT you "fast food". They have what I call the "chicken oven" that they add coals to so it does get warm in there. I have never had Peruvian food but it now on my radar! The steak in the fried rice was so tender! I am glad I went with the recommendation of the employee! Again, the gentlemen working here seemed proud of what they were serving and we will definitely be back!

I would say Inka chicken is a nice place to go for fast and filling food! I got their lomo salatado and the 1/4 chicken. I would say the lomo saltado sauce is more on the soy-saucey side and their portions are decent sized. Both the meat and vegetables were cooked very well, but I would say their fries are a bit soggy and dry. The chicken had great seasoning, but was disappointed by how dry it was. Service wise, the workers were quick and efficient! This location has sit down and a drive through, so I would assume it would be a nice place for both on the go or dine in!

Jack K.

Yelp
It's been two years too long since picking up dinner from Inka Chicken. The spices and charcoal rotisserie makes for a flavor filled bird. The family meal for 2-4 people is a whole chicken with two sides. I selected the vegetable medley and yucca fries. The spicy sauce is a perfect addition with the chicken. Delicious!! https://inka-chicken.com/?fs=e&s=cl

As a Peruvian I was extremely disappointed by today's visit. I ordered a 1/4 chicken that was incredibly dry and had zero flavor. The sauces available were just like mayo and the other just spicy but no flavor. The chicken aquadito soup had bay leaves and bones in them and was spicy but did have good flavor. The lomo saltado did not have any smoky flavor or the flavors you would expect from a traditional lomo saltado. The chicha drink didn't have the spice flavors at all it tasted like it was made of powder and sugar. Idk how this has so many good reviews it was pretty awful. I recommend going to Brasas Peruvian restaurant not far from here. We went yesterday and it was far more authentic and flavorful than here.

Rick S.

Yelp
A friend introduced me to Inka Chicken one evening recently before we went out for drinks. I love Peruvian food and was pleased to be able to try this restaurant. Their namesake ingredient, chicken, is featured prominently on the menu. The chicken is marinated and roasted, introducing a ton of flavor while maintaining a juicy and tender texture. You will also find some interesting foods on the menu such as plantains and yucca. I ordered a 1/4 chicken served with a couple of sides. There are seventeen different side options including steak fries, yuca fries, tostones, cilantro rice, Mac and cheese, and many others. Your chicken also comes with your choice of sauces that cover the range from sweet to savory with varying levels of pepper-generated heat. The sauces paired with the chicken are outstanding. I made myself a couple of chicken tacos using the meat and sauces, rice, and fresh veggies from the plate. Prices are reasonable and the service is great. I will be back to try some of the other interesting entrees available here. Highly recommended.

Yelp
As a Peruvian, I don't recommend this place! I had high hopes because it had really good reviews, but the chicken didn't have any flavor, it was dry, and cold. The sauces were not good or Peruvian at all. Do not come here if you are looking for authentic Peruvian chicken

Crowded and loud with kids allowed to play on the floor, service is friendly but slow, food is outstanding. I'm leaving 5 stars simply because the food in this situation carries all the weight.

Inka Chicken is a pretty solid fast-casual spot. The food was phenomenal and the cashier was very patient and helpful. The bathroom and overall restaurant didn't appear particularly clean.Also, the women's bathroom didn't have hand soap and I had to go to the men's bathroom to grab some. It was pretty clear that cleanliness wasn't Inka's top priority. We ordered two whole chicken and several sides. The chicken, plantain, mash potatoes, and black beans were great and incredibly flavorful. The sauce was really good and a great compliment to the chicken. I wasn't as crazy about the mixed vegetables and they were a bit greasy but everything else was great. Overall, I enjoyed my food and everything was reasonably priced. Also, the food was enough to quench our entire table's appetite. Hopefully next time I'm back, Inka will be a bit cleaner.

The service was decent, the drive through was closed so I had to get out the car with no bra just playing I didn't mind. Now to this food...all the pictures looked so juicy but mine was a lil dry; but I don't mind well cooked chicken, the flavor was definitely on point. The rice tasted old the beans had no flavor, the salad was a salad lol but the plantains and that dipping sauce was to die for!!! I wanted to try the macaroni (because I'm scared of restaurant's version of mac) but was told they no longer give samples Overall it was cool. The Inca cola taste like cream soda which is my fave when I do cheat on my ice water. I'd definitely return for the chicken and plantains

Delicious food, fast. Love the chicken empanadas and the Inka wrap. Always happy when I find a new place that offers cooked plantains and numerous options for folks who prefer to eat vegetarian or avoid red meat.

I walked into Inka chicken on Wells branch and was hit by the stench of raw sewage. I knew this was not going to be a pleasant dining experience. I went to the drinks and got some iced tea and tasted it, and it tasted old and nasty and I looked at the side and all the brooms, mops, and everything was leaned against the Soda dispenser. I got my food and I can't pronounce it but it had pasta in it and it tasted horrible. This restaurant was filthy. Food tasted terrible and the place stunk it needs to be reported to the board of health and where is Marvin Zindler when you need him?

This place was so unexpected. Great Latin/South American Food! It looks like a fast food place from the street, and inside does too, but when you get your food, it is anything but! Fried yucca, fried plantains, black beans and cilantro rice, and the corn were all rediculous--as in incredibly good. Que rico! The chicken was great too, and the sauces we tried spectacular--the hot stuff is the best but not for the uninitiated. This is my new place to get real authentic food for take-out monthly and it's healthy!We always walk away happy. Order in advance and use the drive-thru...it's a wait otherwise, but always worth it.

Drive through was broken when we tried it for the first time. Funny that they told us drive through was broken, through the drive through. But since the place was small we just went in to buy instead. Ordering was easy and fast, and they had TVs with sports to entertain yourself while waiting for the food. We got a family meal to feed three of us, and the food did not disappoint. Chicken was very well seasoned and tender and the cilantro rice was delicious and fluffy. The yuka fries were still crispy even when to go but was a little tough for my liking. Still delicious though. And the mild sauce was delicious. However I wished they allowed us to choose two different sauces to try since they gave us two containers of sauce anyways. Did not try the corn tortillas, but they seems pretty well made! Would definitely come back for other items on future!

Amazing food but setting is very casual. Service was quite good. Go up to counter to order and it comes pretty quick. There's also a drive through.

Everything I've tasted has been consistently good and super flavorful without being overwhelmingly salty or seasoned too much. Even the most simple dishes have comped detail and care poured into them. I could eat here every day and never get bored. Try their lomo saltado, yuquitas rellenas and passion fruit agua fresca, theyre my faves, feels like comfort food.

10-23-21 Quality/Quantity - 5 Stars for flavor! 1/2 Chicken - Paid extra 75 cents for dark meat, next time I will get it as is. Although dark meat is more tender, there is less meat. Chaufarroncito - slow braised fried pork Atmosphere - Not sure what to make of this place. Fast food? Fast Casual? Either way, the place and decor was good. There were lots of good write-ups posted about this business. Service - Friendly and patient with us as this was our first time here. Price - $26 + tip, probably our least expensive meal and worth 5 Stars!!!!!!!! Owner Suggestion - I actually wanted to come back again before we left Austin, but there are too many good choices in your city. I will be sure to revisit on my next trip to Austin. Keep up the good work!
