"Juicy and flavorful Peruvian roast chicken is the thing to order here. The anticuchos (marinated, sliced, and roasted beef heart on a stick) are also a must-try for adventurous carnivores. Finish the meal with the helado de lucuma (lucuma fruit ice cream) and hot picarones (pumpkin and sweet potato doughnuts) drizzled with fig syrup." - Didi Paterno

I had wanted to try some Peruvian food before I visited Lima. I traveled from Denton to find Munay's and was not disappointed. The rotisserie chicken was fabulous and the french fries were outstanding - as far as french fries go. I was surprised at how few customers there were but so glad I went. The atmosphere is pretty sparse but all in all, worth the trip!

The seasoning for all the dishes was spot on. The Mixto Anticucho Picado y Rachi, a mix of grilled beef hearts and omasum tripe, was one of my favorites. It was perfectly seasoned with a satisfying chewiness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with drinks. If you’re not a fan of chewy meats, the Lomo Saltado, made with tender sirloin, is a great alternative. I also tried the Sausage and Sirloin Fried Rice (Chaufan), which was offered as a substitute for an out-of-stock item and wasn’t listed on the menu. The sirloin was incredibly tender with a rich, beefy flavor. While it seemed to be made with freshly cooked steamed rice, using chilled rice stir-fried at high heat could have elevated the dish to perfection. Special mention to their spicy sauce—it had fantastic seasoning, a nice kick from green onions, and a thicker consistency compared to other hot sauces.

This was a nice Mexican restaurant. Little or no service was provided as you need to order from the counter. It was a food adventure for me as I've never tried the cow heart before. I believe the restaurant used to serve cow tripe, stomach, intestine and heart, but currently, they only serve cow tripe and heart. All the food were very tasty and well seasoned, and the chicken was also very tender. The cashier didn't speak English very well and I had to show her photos of what I wanted.

Delicious food!!! The meet was so soft and tasty, everything was cooked perfectly. Prices are very nice in my opinion. Highly recommend! Will order again.

Food was VERY different from the pictures. Tons of fries to make up for the weird taste on everything else I guess? Service was THE WORST! The lady on the counter looked so annoyed when she took my order, she barely spoke to me and complained when I didn't leave a tip for her AWFULL "service" don't bother coming. There's plenty of options like these

Chicken and sauce were AWESOME! Fries left a little to be desired felt kinda old and oily but I came for the chicken and it was top notch. Also chicken was not ready at open which is fine but maybe put that you won’t have chicken ready at open had to wait almost an hour

We tried a pair of anticuchos and ceviche at this place ,but unfortunately, the flavors were just okay. Things took a turn for the worse when I ordered a rotisserie chicken to go - it was severely overseasoned and had a strong, unpleasant odor. Sadly, it ended up in the trash. It's disappointing that we haven't found a reliable spot to enjoy authentic Peruvian cuisine in Dallas.

Recommend eating there, don’t recommend getting the food to go/delivered. I’ve eaten at Munay before, and the food was great. Decided to do a to-go order this time, and when we opened the bag, we saw that the plastic from the styrofoam box melted (top and bottom of the box melted). We didn’t want to eat the chemicals in, so we tried to cut the top and bottom of the chicken off to try to salvage the chicken. My husband was so put off by it that he ended up ordering something else for dinner. They definitively need to get new packaging for their to-go orders that won’t melt.

Probably the best tasting chicken I've had in a long time. The half chicken with fries is too much for one person. Very juicy and savory. Now our "go-to" place for chicken.

Service is great, people working at this Peruvian restaurant are very friendly and helpful. The location is order and sit with tables set up on the opposite side of the restaurant. The ambiance reminds me of a family friendly bbq spot. We ordered the lomo saltado and the chicken with fries. The meat was delicious on both dishes.

Juicy and flavorful pollo a la brasa! Counter has a small selection of Peruvian staples too so I was able to stock up on aji paste

The pollo a la brasa was great this visit. Unfortunately we have been here in previous times and it was dry. This time it was fresh. The sauce was the best it has ever been. I personally wish the papas fritas were a little crispier but my Peruvian husband thinks they're perfect. The place is basic for eating there and you clean up after yourself. It is very clean. The counter service is fast and friendly.

Hot take: Peruvian chicken is by far the best version of chicken. Imagine a Costco rotisserie chicken but with an attitude and personality and that's a Peruian rotisserie chicken. Out of all the joints in DFW, Munay by far makes the best version. You can taste the seasoning with every bite, even down to the deepest sections of the breast. The Aji sauce is addicting and offers a nice spicy quick to the chicken. The Chaufa de Pollo hit the spot just right. Hot on arrival and packed with flavor. Tasted like it was cooked in a wok. 10/10 recommend.

The chicken here had good flavor and was very moist. It wasn't the best chicken I had, but very good for the price. Also got to try the beef hearts which were tender and had lots of flavor with all the different spices. Our order also came with fries and a salad. The fries were soggy and the salad was ok.

A great little hole in the wall. This Peruvian spot delivers on both service and flavor! The location is spacious and fairly clean. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. I ordered takeout and the wait was about 7 minutes, which is great during dinner hours.Of you do decide to dine in , you'll have to order at the counter and seat yourself. I ordered the Rachi (cow belly) meal, which comes with roasted potatoes and a side salad. It was well seasoned and tender. The potatoes and packed in the Rachi, so they absorb some of the Rachi sauce. I recommend pairing this meal the yellow sauce called (Aji Amarillo)- this sauce is made with Peruvian yellow sweet chili peppers. No, the sauce is not spicy. All is all a great this a great spot to experience authentic Peruvian food. They only scored a four because of the takeout dishwasher- it wasn't the greatest.

This place has the best rotisserie chicken in the DFW area. We met the sweetest lady who happened to be the owner last weekend and discovered that there is a Richardson location as well.

I've ALWAYS had great Peruvian food in NYC so my expectations where high to begin with! I have to say I think the "lomo saltado" was pretty good and flavorful! Another good dish that was flavorful was the "arroz chaufa"!! I have yet to try the rotisserie chicken... but I always end up ordering the same two dishes! This hole in the wall didn't disappoint at all...the only issue I had was that the service is mediocre at best... If you are expecting great customer or being services while you are seated, this isn't it! The "hole in the wall" had good food... you order it and you sit down... they bring it to you but there is no interaction after that! I'll deal with it just to continue eating their food!

Food is good but the customer service sucks. I don't know if this guy is always working the front but that attitude is not giving. seem like he don't want to work or greet the customers. People like that make me not want to support their small business. I would suggest someone more friendly with better attitude. La comida está buena. pero el personal que tienen enfrente nomás no. No sé si esa persona siempre esta enfrente pero como que necesita que ser un poco más amable con un poco más de sonrisa para atraer más clientes. Gente así ni ganas de ir a soportar un negocio. So por favor pongan a alguien que sea más amigable más agradable qué te haga sentir que vale la pena comer ahí.

The anticuchos are the best I had in all the US. Pollo a la Brasa was loaded in cumin and many spices not so good for my taste. Chicken and French Fries should be a lil' more crisp outside. Big tasty portions.

I went there tonight ordered 1/2 chicken with fries and salad $17 this is without a drink! I waited 36 minutes for my food! They had one girl to waitress, charge and deal with costumers ‍, (she was very nice) ... not a good experience

The chicken doesn't taste Peruvian but like any other roasted chicken. Expensive and overrated. El pollo no sabe a Peruvian sabe a cualquier otro pollo dorado. Caro y no está bueno.

Came in to try the Peruvian Pollo a la brasa. Wanted 1/4 of chicken but they just sell 1/2 and above. Several options to choose from. The price was $14.99 before tax for half of chicken and a 12oz can of Inca Kola. Presentation was good and food came in fast. The dining room was clean and has plenty space. The chicken came with a salad, the dressing was just too salty. Chicken was fresh but was lacking flavor. The fries were a disappointment because they were ice cold and had no salt. Aji sauce was decent but extremely watered down. If you are a Peruvian Pollo a la brasa lover this will for a craving do but nothing like the ones from back home.

I really enjoyed my experience at Munay. I ordered the combo of rotisserie chicken, French fries, and salad. The chicken was flavorful and tender. The fries were a bit soggy but balanced out the chicken well. There was a yellow/green sauce to eat with the chicken, which was mild in flavor. Service was quick and good!

We aren't familiar with Peruvian food and wanted to try this place. The normal menus (with food descriptions) were behind the register and inaccessible. With Covid-19, I understand that they may not hand out normal menus. That's 100% fine. The menu on the wall did not have descriptions of the food. I had to Google search on my phone to see what several items were. The staff member taking orders offered no greeting and no assistance. He could clearly hear and see that we were trying to figure out what menu items were. He gave very short answers with the few questions we did ask him. The music was great, but really loud. It was at the volume level expected for a dance club, not a casual restaurant at 3pm on a weekday. The volume of the music, combined with mask, combined with a glass partition made it very difficult to order our food. I am very happy that the cashier wore a mask though. The lady bringing out food from the kitchen did not wear a mask. A customer at the table behind us told the employee she should wear a mask. Instead of responding professionally and politely, the staff member raised her voice and argued with the customer! She had the audacity to tell the customer she doesn't have to wear a mask because she works in the kitchen. Wow! The food was ok. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but not exceptional. The roasted potatoes had no seasoning at all.

Love the flavor of the chicken with the sauce and the chicken is moist and not dry will become my spot for Peruvian chicken

Good service but...... I am giving this 3 starts because I feel bad for them. I ordered El Lomo Saltado and the pieces of meat were too thick/big, and the worst part was that 80% of the meat was red. I couldn't eat it. The choclo was okay, is usually pretty. I guess I came on a bad day. The sauces are okay, they could be a little more thick.

My family has been going to this place since they opened several years ago and it was one of our favorite places. I am sad that the quality of the food has declined lately, the last month food is not the same, flavors are bland and food is not as tasty as before. We like anticuchos, but on our most recent visits they came colder; the meat was dry and the seasoning was not the same. We have the same observation with their Ceviche, no salt and very little lime flavor on it, nothing like it used to be. If they have changed cooks they need to check and make sure they are consistent with how they prepare their dishes, we have been disappointed a few times already and it's not worth it anymore for us to do the trip there. We drive 15-25 miles to eat good Peruvian food in town and now we will have to go somewhere else.

May visit again. I enjoyed the seasoning and somewhat juicy flavor of the chicken itself. From other rotisserie chicken eateries including Peruvian, the chicken can be more juicy. What I was disappointed in was the green sauce. IMO, the sauce is once of the main components of a Pervuian chicken eatery. It tasted too much like a dressing than a chicken sauce. Although I didn't spend time deeply inside since I ordered takeout, the interior is casual and seems nice. I most likely will not visit again in comparison to other rotisserie eateries.

The chicken here is absolutely delicious. Upon entering, the workers there were really nice and asked us if this was our first time eating Peruvian chicken and we said yes. They explained to us how the chicken was made and what made it different from others. They gave us a free sample of some juice that is supposed to help cleanse your body and that was pretty good too. The chicken came out fresh and hot. It was still steaming whenever we received it. The seasonings that they used on the chicken went really well together. The chicken was really juicy and the skin was not too dry or too moist. It's not crunchy, but it was good. It was decently priced and I would love to come here again.

I've heard so many good things about this place that maybe my expectations were just too high. Their chicken was just ok and the rice was very basic and a bit crunchy. Their salad leaves a lot to be desired. I think it was all overpriced but I would give it a second try, maybe.

Having just moved to Texas, I've been perusing Yelp to figure out where I'd like to check out. This was one of the places I've been eyeballing. One day, after a nice, long furniture shopping adventure, we were in the area. Guess where we went? :) I was expecting to be greeted by Donut shop sign, but they must've settled in and fixed it. The lady working the cash register was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She helped us figure out what to order and the portion, which was on point. Between two people, we had 1/2 chicken meal (chicken, salad, fries, and chimichurri sauce) and a picarones. We originally wanted to also get an Emoliente, but was told they only served it warm and hot at that time. We were going to retrieve our water out of the car, but she threw in an Inca Kola. Woohoo! The can was dented, but what did I care? The drink itself was like bubble gum soda heaven. They also sell it as a 2L bottle, so you can grab the cups to share. As for the food, the chicken was extremely well made. Very well seasoned and moist. I'd definitely order it again. The salad and fries were fresh. The chimichurri sauce was delicious, but not overly strong and flavorful (although I prefer stronger flavor. Now, the picarones...They're basically donuts (so I guess the sign wasn't wrong after all) made using sweet potatoes (who isn't into the sweet potato fad), and the syrup, I don't even have words to describe it. It was so unique tasting and it took me a second to wrap my tastebuds around it. it was different, but oh so good. Writing this review actually got me craving it. Eek!

Ordered takeout and it was still divine. Chicken fell off the bone, ceviche was fresh and acidic and a generous portion. Definitely ordering again!

Victoria R.

Yelp
Ordered half a chicken only because they don't sell it by quarters, so you are forced to either get half a chicken or a whole (definitely not the spot you want to stop at for your lunch break). The chicken was precooked and apparently reheated because the meat was tuff and the skin was soggy, the fries that go with the chicken were reheated, not fried and crumbled. (Note - half chicken with fries, no drink $14.99 before tax). Also ordered anticuchos (beef heart kabobs) the meat was under cooked and apparently cooked under very low flame, no grill taste whatsoever (2 kabobs for $17) when I asked the cashier why the price, she said it is because they are hard to find, so I ordered just 1 stick for $7.50. I don't typically write reviews but I really felt scammed at this place and will not be returning. Everything on the menu is overly priced and the quality is less than mediocre. Thumbs down.

I came in at 3pm and every table was used. Food came out quick and pretty good!! I don't care for the fries but the rice in the lomo saltado is delicious! The chicken was very juicy.

Service was not great nor was the ambiance. Very rude workers. They should at least have someone there that speaks English. The chicken was OKAY. Fries are terrible. Little dessert cookies was fine. Honestly the place does not look good but I thought maybe the food was good but it's not.Not worth it.

Ok, let's talk Peruvian food-- where the hell have you been all my life? How have I not known you've existed? Why do I feel like the last 15 years of my life have been a wastehis, Peruvian, was out of this world! * * Food in order of pics: Pancita (Tripe/Cow Stomach) Anticuchos (Cow Heart) Pollo (Rotisserie chicken) Picarones (Peruvian Donuts) * * The pancita and anticucho were Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pancita was crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. The pollo was salty for my taste, I wish it was less salty, but it was still cooked well. Not dry at all. And the donuts with the fig dipping sauce-- ugh, YUMMMM.

We love this somewhat hidden gem on Old Denton and Frankford... This is a Peruvian restaurant, very mom and pops setting as you enter the menu is small but they know what they're doing with it bc everything we've tasted was great and super yum........ IF You're into internal organs lol....the anticucho kabob is amazing grilled to perfection with the right spices and very spicy salsa to go with it on a bed of big potato slices.... The pancita and rachi and choncholi is grilled up the same way they're all very flavorful and chewy yet not hard to chew up and eat... Which is not easy to do bc some places will under/over cook so it'd be very hard to actually chew up If you're not into internals... Their rotisserie chicken is done in a similar way and comes with salad and potatoes as well and salsa... This was very very good.... Skin and meat was full of flavors and the meat was moist and tender to the bite again not over cooked its a must try here PS they got the golden Aztec cola which is a cream soda yum!!! If you've never had it you're missing out!!!!! Even the diet tastes great!!!! Just writing this review makes my mouth water =)

Juicy, flavorful, and wonderfully seasoned. That's it, that's the tweet. If you're looking to try Peruvian chicken you need to go to Munay! Where else can you get chicken that has the best of both worlds--large and juicy?? Getting it for takeout didn't take anything away from the flavor. I've had Peruvian chicken at other places and this is currently the favorite place I've tried. The portions are large and you get a generous portion of sauce to dip the chicken in (it's 10/10), but tbh the chicken is seasoned well enough that you don't really need the sauce to enjoy the meal. Get your meal with fries and a side salad. But the chicken is obvi the star of the show.

Extremely happy that i found this place on yelp, seeing as how I live 1 minute down the street. I used to love eating Peruvian chicken all the time when I used to live near a delicious place in Maryland - so finding this place was a godsend. I've visited this place a handful of times now and the chicken is consistently very tender and seasoned well. The whole chicken combo w/ fries and salad is always a great deal and can easily feed 3-4 people. I am also a huge fan of the Grilled mix/mixto completo. The mix is seasoned deliciously and grilled perfectly - although the beef heart kabob was a little tough to chew, so I'd recommend getting the mix without that one. My only wish is that the green sauce had a little more flavor - then everything would be perfect. Although, i didn't ask if they had any other sauces. Awesome place overall!!

$18 for a roti chicken that is just ok.. nah, Soggy skin. The green sauce that came with the chicken did not taste fresh. Actually, it had soured a bit and not in a good vinegary, intentional type of way. We also got the anticuchos. I have had good beef heart before. This is not it. Tough and no beefy flavor. No grill marks, no caramelization of the meat. Sadly, another all-round miss for this Richardson neighborhood.

Absolutely love this place!! As a Peruvian who has grown up on the most delicious food EVER, I'm always on the hunt for a little taste of Peru. I came here for a late lunch while in Carrollton, ready for some rotisserie chicken. "Pollo a la brasa" is like the Peruvian version of fast food, like our KFC. The chicken cooked this way is super juicy and flavorful, spiced to perfection. The order of chicken usually comes with a set of fries and a salad - which are the combos that Munay offers. So again - I was super stoked. I came to treat my boyfriend (and myself) to a Peruvian lunch around 2 pm on a Sunday. There was ample parking, and I was pleased to see the simple and warm, colorful decor and several families scattered throughout the restaurant. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and timely. Prices looked pretty affordable for the amount of food that I saw on the tables, so we ordered a little bit of everything - the whole chicken/fries combo, anticuchos, and a pitcher of fresh-made Chicha Morada (must, MUST get this). Sweets are my kryptonite, so I also preordered some picarones for dessert. The chicken was so delicious! Super juicy, as expected. Perhaps it was the hunger that makes my memory hazy or perhaps it's that I reverted back to a 4-year-old version of myself, but when I finally looked up from my food, I'd devoured half a chicken, even the white meat - that's right, I said white meat (it's that good) - and the anticuchos came in. I thought about slowing down, but then ravenously consumed those as well. These came with some potatoes, since we Peruvians love our potatoes. In case you haven't tried them before, anitcuchos are beef heart skewers that are marinated in aji panca and other seasonings. They're a staple of Peruvian street food! The ones at Munay taste JUST like the ones I used to buy on the streets of Lima as a child. Don't be shy, try one! The Chicha Morada was incredible. Definitely not from a bottle, and I ended up taking a jar home because my boyfriend enjoyed it so much! He was amazed when I told him that it was made from purple corn! Just be careful - it'll stain your clothes if you spill. Last but not least - the picarones. Now, beware: these were the reason I was a chubby child. They're a type of doughnut made of squash and sweet potato, and when they're hot, they're the kind of airy and crunchy that you can only dream of. The anise seeds within the doughnut deepened the flavor of the actual dessert, and the fig dipping sauce was perfecccttt. Basically, I had to be rolled out of this restaurant, and I took my many leftovers with me. Critics (e.g. my Columbian boyfriend) rave, and I even got him to admit that Peruvian food might be better than Columbian food. THIS IS A BIG DEAL, Latinos take a lot of pride in their food!! I still have dreams about this food and will go back whenever I have a chance! Definitely bring an appetite and some hungry friends - they'll thank you!!

Chicken was ok...I don't see the hype. I had 1/4 a chicken order with fries and didn't think it was something I would come back for. Maybe I'm not too keen on Peruvian food. Fries were bland, I'm sure they were frozen fries. Little for what you get...

Fantastic pollo a la brasa, which is the main dish that brought us in. To my surprise, they had several tripe dishes (pancita, rachi, choncholi) I had never tried and loved as well. You have to be comfortable with beef tripe, but like all new foods I tell people to not think about it while you eat it, and you will thank yourself afterward. All three of these are delicious. Possibly the biggest crowd-pleaser at Munay...something everyone can appreciate no matter what your food practices are... is the Peruvian green hot sauce. It's the perfect sauce for anything, any meat, any vegetable, any starch (especially potatoes or rice), even salads! Put it on everything. In our most recent visit, we were told they no longer make picarones (which is a shame because they were amazing !). Hopefully in the near future they will reintroduce this dessert so we have a perfect sweet to top off our meal. For those who love cookies, they also offer alfajores (akin to a caramel-cream sandwich cookie). For what they offer on the menu, this is one of the better Peruvian restaurants in the Dallas area. It doesn't get more satisfying than Munay.

This is a random kind of hole in the wall place, but it's really good. Half chicken is perfect for 2 people. They have these sweet potato donut things that were interesting. The seating area isn't huge but for 2-4 people you shouldn't have a problem. They also sell this special South American soda. The staff is really nice too. Food can take a while to come out (presumably it's cooked fresh) so it's not a super fast meal. You also take to go.

I had a delicious white meat chicken with yuca fries platter at Munay. The rotisserie chicken was perfectly spiced. I have never enjoyed white meat chicken much! The yuca fries were much more crispy and deep fried than I had expected, but when I tasted them, they didn't taste oily. They honestly were really good. I tried to go back to Munay for some more grub a few days later but I have no idea what happened to them. Every time I've checked, the chairs are upside the tables and the windows are covered with a silvery sheath that indicates to me that they are closed for business. Not sure what's going on but I really hope it's not what it looks like. That was some damn good chicken and I'd love to be back for more.

Me and my dining partner ended up here after a previously suggested Peruvian place was found to have closed. Yelp app to the rescue, and we were soon looking over the menu. Despite her being Colombian and usually a fairly adventurous eater, she chose a rotisserie chicken plate and left the more ambitious things to me. I selected some items for us to share, and here's what we found: Mixed grill with rachi, pancita, and choncholi: This was essentially a "cow innards trifecta", featuring various cuts from the gut prepared different ways. I unfortunately do not recall which one was which, but I liked two of them very well, whereas the third (pancita, I think) was a little rubbery and wasn't quite as good to my palete.The spice was good on all of them, however, and the Peruvian green hot sauce was excellent. Anticuchos: Featuring kabobs made from beef heart, they were delicious, tender, had a very intense beef flavor and nice spice, and fortunately, look nothing like hearts. This was a very tasty dish, and if you didn't tell, nobody would know and would just say "yum" Chicken: Juicy and full of flavor, this dish was excellent. The meat released fairly easily from the bones, and the texture was perfect. The green sauce also provided a nice layer of taste here. Picarones: For dessert, we chose these donuts made from sweet potatoes and featuring a fig syrup with chunks of figs. The donuts themselves were delicious, but that syrup - wow, I could have drank a cup of the stuff. It's a great way to end a good meal. Definitely give this place a try if you want something a little different. And if your someone in your party isn't wanting to try new things, that chicken is fantastic and will surely satisfy.

While the main draw at Munay Kitchen seems to be the rotisserie chicken, my personal recommendation--if you're an adventurous eater--is the Rachi/Concholi/Pancita combo. It's not often that you find a dish that features multiple stomachs of a cow :) Don't be turned off, there's little offensive about the tripe dish that Munay delivers: clean tasting and soooo deliciously seasoned that I order it every time. Whatever is in their Peruvian spice mix makes this combo dish addicting. Another recommendation is the anticucho--beef heart on skewers--which Munay grills just a little past tender until chewy, but also well seasoned like most of their menu entrees. The picarones however are the only downside, too soggy and not travel-ready, and perhaps best eaten when freshly made. The restaurant signage is clearly visible from the street, the dining space is bare but functional. What makes the Munay experience memorable however is the friendliness of the staff. I do hope that they expand on their current menu and become successful enough to expand their current restaurant hours and offer online ordering soon.

This place exceeded expectations on food taste and quality, which is why it gets 5 stars. Yes the place could've more fancily decorated and could use a public soda fountain to refill water, and it could have came out faster, but the food itself was wonderful. Peruvian chicken part was great! It came with aji sauce which was creamy, refreshing and delicious. I didn't like the fries it came with, very pedestrian, but I had (accidentally) ordered tripe (it was labeled as cow belly, which I interpreted to be like pork belly, but on a cow.) The tripe came with potatoes which I dipped in the aji sauce (so yummy). The spicy tripe sauce was also great. I ordered the dessert and it was like 6 cookies. The inside filling on the cookies were awesome! Perfect end to the meal. This place is like a great option for a nonrushed low key meal.

Worst place ever! they forgot to give us our beef heart. And then when we called them they acted like they didn't know that we ordered beef heart. Highly unsatisfied would not recommend!

I was told to go here for the chicken by another Peruvian joint, so I did. If another restaurant recommends another place - you should do it. This place is very low key but extremely delicious. What Machu Pichu probably tastes like. I highly recommend getting the 1/2 chicken because it's that god damn delicious.

Order #1 polLo ala brasa and anticuchos ....something different. It came with salad and fries. Extra order for ranchi beef tripe. Beef heart is tender and chicken is moist. I wish they offer spicier sauce.

So happy we found this place! What drew us was the Peruvian chicken (which is really beautifully seasoned, moist, and flavorful), but I almost think that what will keep us coming back are the anticuchos and ceviche. The ceviche was generously portioned and had a lot of fish. It came with a small side of canchita (Peruvian popcorn) and is really a refreshing addition to any meal. I was wary about ordering the anticuchos but I'm so glad I did. The beef hearts did not taste "game-y" or "liver-y" and were extremely well seasoned. The (hot) sauce that accompanies the anticuchos was the perfect pairing. It's clear they just do their meats really well because their parillada (t-bone) is also really well-seasoned and tender. Every time we come back, the chicken, ceviche, and anticuchos are on our must-order. Inca cola isn't for us but it's certainly nice to try! Excited to go back!
