Profile

The excellent Peruvian rotisserie birds at this branch of the Queens-based chicken chainlet are marinated for twelve hours in a mixture of cumin, garlic, Peruvian beer, and a few other key ingredients the owners prefer to keep a trade secret. Ponder these mystery spices over a pisco sour and a "matador combo," a whole chicken with a tableful of sides — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Matador combo, $30.50

I had try a whole chiken with salad and french fries for almost 30 bucks.. this is an a expensive for a whole chicken no matter the chicken tasted delicious!!! they should it bring the price down I had also notice that they don't accepted credit cards other than American Express what is wrong with Master Card, Visa, or others? I' had see other restaurant's they charged $15 dollars with salad and french fries...

Good Chicken! But if you want seafood, here is not the place.

I love coming to this place for chicken and the decor, that's it. This was my go to place until a co-worker told me about a Peruvian spot a couple of blocks down called Pico Rico by 103st and Northern. All I can say is mmm.... The Pescado lo Macho is Mmm.., the Jalea is Mmmm, the Parihuela is Mmmm.... But there is so much other plates that I haven't tried but I bet it is all Mmm... There is so much variety. The Sangria was also Mmmm.. The price is cheaper than Pio Pio and the decor is not all that, but they won my stomach. They have over 70 dishes, so I have to come back 60 more times to try the rest of them.
