Profile

This Peruvian spot drew crowds long before Fifth Avenue became Park Slope's foodie frontier. As the name indicates, succulent rotisserie chicken is a specialty of the house—and the best deal on the menu, priced from $7 for a half chicken to $11 for a whole. But it's the seafood dishes here that truly shine. Start with one of the seven varieties of seviche on the menu, including halibut or clams. Then go for a whole fish: fried red snapper or blue potato-crusted salmon. The wine list features a smartly chosen and fairly priced selection of South American wines, although most patrons go for the sangria (which has a stronger kick than you'd expect). Best freebie: a bowl of fried plantains and roasted corn kernels, accompanied by spicy orange and green sauces. And Park Slope's breeder set no doubt appreciates kid-friendly touches like crayons and brown-paper tablecloths. — Jenifer Van Vleck

we waited an hour for cervice. cervice. it's cold, not cooked and is supposed to be their specialty! what was worse was the waitress and the manager's "those are the breaks" attitude about it. i've been a few times and must admit that their food is good but the service started out bad and has only gotten worse since i have been going. it seems i get the one waitress every time i have been in the last year and she apparently has spent much more focus in that time on eating their food than she has focusing on how best to serve it. won't be back, they act like it's your privelege for them to take ur money. great location, good food but when you treat me like that, you don't desrve my hard earned money. you might get your food in an hour if its not busy but dont go on a friday or sat night, this is a restaurant that falls apart once they reach half capacity.
