    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.

    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!

    Lomo saltado
    Miguel M.

    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.

    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 !

    I walked in to Zaxby's and it was pretty empty and that should have been my first red flag but I…read morecontinued to order anyways. It was super quiet when walking in and the booth seating was sticky. There was an older woman at the register who was extremely polite and helpful while taking my order. Once I was given my drink cup I went to the soda machine to get I e and noticed that there was something black in my cup, I emptied out the ice and got more and found more black stuff in my cup. I don't know what it was but I know it wasn't anything good. I advised the cashier and she told me they were working on the machine last night but she offered to fill my cup from the drive thru fountain which was good. Once we got our food it was cold and I don't understand why because we were literally the only people in the restaurant. When I got my loaded fries they were drenched in ranch and that's all I could taste. Usually I order in the drive thru without any issues but today was a bad day altogether. The one thing I have positive about this experience is the lovely older woman cashier. She was so nice and tried everything she could to make our experience better but it wasn't her fault. You could clearly see her coworkers were doing their own thing and not trying to work as a team. After this experiences don't think I'll ever return to this location.

    Got the wings and things and I wasn't impressed. Zaxby's isn't as good as it was when I was a teen…read moreand overpriced. The chicken tenders were so small, a tad bigger than nuggets. Their pink lemonade was decent but way too much ice than lemonade for the up charge. There's a reason I never come here and I won't be in a rush to return.
