Joseph CAugust 30, 2014Good Peruvian Style Rotisserie Chicken. Juicy & Moist, I have mine's with papas & salad. The green Aji sauce is a must with the fries. Add some of it to the chicken & salad together. 👍💚Upvote2Downvote
JenniferFebruary 23, 2016The chicken was amazing. So was the salad. The green Aji sauce has quite a kick to it, so don't douse your meat in before trying out the spice level.UpvoteDownvote- Tasting TableAugust 2, 2012Come to this Peruvian island in Koreatown to buy half a delicious flame-licked bird lashed with green ají sauce, a mound of rice, beans and a chicha morada for a bit more than $10.

They seem to be really busy weekend afternoons, so go as early as possible (open at 10:30am Sat/Sun). Parking will be easier then too. Also, while they do take credit card, cash is highly recommended.UpvoteDownvote
The b grade is for best. Best chicken in town. Perfect smokey flavor and super moist. The black beans and rice are amazing as is the green sauce - hot!Upvote1Downvote
AD NysFebruary 11, 2012Essential chicken stop. Considering take out? Your car will smell like a bonfire when you get home and you'll be trying to sneak messy bites at stoplights. Eat in: inhale the cozy wood-fired ambiance.UpvoteDownvote- Joseph CAugust 18, 2014Parking sucks, which is either the tiny lot out back or most likely on the side street next to it. Sometimes MTA drivers park/ take breaks there. Classic hole-in-the-wall, small room, few tables.Upvote1Downvote
- AD NysMay 12, 2012$21 full chicken with everything is enough to feed a cop, drag queen + small family. And that's who you'll make friends with here. ¡Puro sabor! #lomo filter

다희 노June 5, 2015The chicken is the bomb! If you go to Ktown, always remember to stop by in here!UpvoteDownvote- Joseph CAugust 18, 2014Bathroom kind of sucks in the little corner. Long line at the door. Cool people here taking your orders. The girls remembers most orders for each customer. Smokey. Your clothes will smell like food!Upvote1Downvote
