    Ceviche popular, aji de gallina and pollo a la brasa.
    Jan C.

    What a a treat! This place and it's sister location on Orange Blossom Trail just received the USIL's Authenticity Peruvian Food certification! And let me tell you. It doesn't disappoint one bit. To begin, this is the Express version. Like so many other restaurants on the cuisine spectrum, the "express" it's a smaller, fast pace and more convenient version in comparison to it's original entity. This restaurant it's located near the airport and build right next to a gas station, you wouldn't expect much from its far looks. Inside, totally different story. The location it's very roomy, cozy and very chick!! A soda machine right next to the condiment station. With the restrooms being shared with the gas station. Now to the food. And will say that it did not disappoint. The aji de gallina was so tasty. Layers of flavor and very filling. The egg, potato and hen went well with each other and they compensate the flavor profile. The ceviche was very well made and nicely finished. The lime juice and pepper sauce was delicious. Nothing was left on the plate!! Last but not least was the pollo a la brasa. Half chicken with fries and rice runs you around 14$. Can't beat that price!! And the flavor is just like I remember eating growing up in Peru as a kid! Needless to say, I will be returning to eat and try the rest of the dishes. Thank you for reading this review!! Jan C

    I ordered the quarter chicken with plantains and sweet potato fries. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, very moist and some of the best I've had. They are a little more expensive than other restaurants that serve chicken, but worth it. The location is easy to get in and out of and there is plenty of dining space.

    As a Peruvian, I am proud to see a Peruvian restaurant actually have good Peruvian food! Deff authentic and really good! Tried diff plates and were all good! In general, Orlando has good Peruvian food but this place may be above average. Deff recommend it and very reasonable prices! The lomo saltado, seco de carne, leche de tigre, ceviche and chicha morado were amazing! Even the regular filete de pescado was very tasty which isn't typically a popular dish. The alfajores were also delicious but every place is kind of cheap with the manjar in the middle and this place was the same as every other place.

    This is my family's go to for Peruvian food. We've tried many Peruvian spots and this place has been the most consistent. As a Peruvian family, we critique all aspects of a Peruvian restaurant but this one seems to be the sweet spot for us. It is up to our standards and I highly recommend it. We've tried many dishes here such as the seco de carne, lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, jalea... it's all great! We come here every time we crave Peruvian food and/or for special occasions like birthdays. The servers are very kind and helpful. I've never had a problem with the service here. It is located next to a gas station so that can throw people off. It is very clean though for being next to a gas station. They don't have their own restroom but maybe in the future they can expand. As for right now, the restroom is located in the gas station next door. Overall, highly recommend this place. You won't regret it!

    Tallarin verde

    The food was amazing! We ordered the tallarin verde and aroz chaufa. Best Peruvian restaurant i have ever eaten at. Just flew in from Los Angeles and i wish we had a place like this. Highly recommend.

    I definitively like this spot, although it's no comparison to Aji Ceviche. I ordered a Pollo a la Brasa with fries, a fish fillet, some white beans, and everything was good but not as good as I wished for, or at least not like the original restaurant. But they do have alternatives that are not served at the other 2 locations, like tamales, pork chicharron, etc. Definitively will be coming back to try more stuff, but this is not my favorite place for Pollo a la Brasa. You decide on that one...

    I read a review where they gave it one star because of the gas station prices. This restaurant has nothing to do with the gas station and is not even the same ownership so don't let that deter you from visiting This is by far our favorite Peruvian restaurant to go to when we are in the mood for Peruvian style rotisserie chicken. For $26.95. You get a whole chicken and two sides! I don't know where you can beat that especially for the freshness and quality that they give you. The chicken is so flavorful and tasty. The service is OK. It's actually a hit or miss but we don't go there for the service it's more for the food. Anytime we have gone the restaurant has always been clean. they have an open kitchen concept which I love. My family has eaten the ceviche and said it was really good and fresh. Unfortunately for me I am allergic to seafood and fish so I've never been able to try it. However, it does look scrumptious. This restaurant is a must try in my book.

    Lomo Saltado (forgot to take a photo before I took it out of the to-go containers)
    Ariana O.

    The food here is soooo good! As a Peruvian, I confidently recommend this place! I ordered 6 orders of ceviche Aji Amarillo de pescado, 3 orders of Lomo Saltado, one order of anticuchos, and 2 orders of yuca frita. Everything was incredible. I order over the phone the day before and they were able to accommodate my order and pick up time. Everything was timely, and packed perfectly in separate containers per serving. I did end up putting it all in serving trays since it was for a get together. There was plenty of food to go around, and everyone was very happy with the food! Buenísimo!!!

    Parihuela, mixed seafood soup
    Run F.

    Great service and delicious food. I would highly recommend this Peruvian restaurant. It's a little hidden gem that serves up flavorful dishes. I had the "Parihuela" which is a mixed seafood soup. Good portions and very flavorful. Our server, Sabastian, was very professional and helpful. The ambiance is modern.

    Parrilla Especial

    We visited Aji Express for dinner. You can sit down or get takeout . Don't be thrown off that it's next to a gas station. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Our waitress was Heily, she very good and attentive. We got the Parrilla Especial. It was for 2 people but it can definitely feed more . We brought half home. Food is delicious. We will return !

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen shares a parking lot with other businesses so parking might be limited. I was fortunate to get a spot near the front door after finding a space someone had just vacated. Upon entering, my friends and I sat at the first two available tables to our right. The restaurant was busy and there weren't any tables big enough for the 6 of us. We had to manage with the two separate high top tables that were next to each other. We then got in line and waited our turns to order. Giang was amazing! He was patient and answered all our questions. He even gave some great recommendations. After we paid for our food, we got our buzzers and went back to the tables to wait. We didn't have to wait long. Once the buzzer alerted me that my order was ready, I went to the pick up area to get my food and drink. I had the Ahi and Avocado Inari. The Inari are stuffed Tofus with rice and selected protein. I also had the Salmon Poke Bowl. Giang had suggested the Lilikoi Passion Refresher which I got. The food was delicious and generously portioned. The salmon and Ahi were fresh and delicious. The Lilikoi Passion was refreshing. The popping boba was a great addition to the refresher. While enjoying the food, drinks and each other's company, a gentleman approached us and told us he stop in to Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen because he saw us as he was walking by and thought we were enjoying ourselves and the meal. It's because of us he came in and bought food. I sure hope he enjoyed his meal as much as we did!

    This is your typical McDonald's that you will find inside an airport. Long lines with higher prices…read morethan a non-airport location. Despite this choosing McDonald's can be an easy choice because you kinda know exactly what you'll get as long as no mistakes are made. Thankfully during my wife and my time visiting here we got our food with no mistakes. Also it came out hot and quickly. Could not really ask for anything else. Due to the higher prices than usual (which mind you are high anyways nowadays) three stars is a fitting rating. Service and quality was good for us but I suspect it will be extremely variable depending on the time and day.

    Not much to say here, except be sure to order ahead on the app! You can use the kiosk too, I…read moresuppose... but I found the app to be the best option. The lines can be super long for this location, probably because it's the most familiar restaurant in the food court. Plus... all the kids...? Yeah, they're going to want McDonald's. The service isn't anything to write home about, but if you use the kiosk or app, it doesn't matter. Plus, they're super-busy all the time, so don't expect the friendliest smiles all day long. Still, for how busy they get, the food was good for fast food quality. Nothing really abnormal or noteworthy here, save that it was above average, which might be surprising for an airport location. Overall, it's fine for what it is. It's a good option for pickier eaters or if you just want the familiarity of the Golden Arches.
