Pollo Saltado
Amit M.

Alpaca Peruvian Chicken INTRO: Peruvian Chicken restaurant chain. Pollo Saltado- Chicken was very tender and had great flavor. Came with Fries, onions, tomatoes and Rice. Very large portion that made it filling for one person. Parking/location- Many different locations but this one was specifically in Garner. Small parking space and being that its near many large shops and stores, the weekends get incredibly busy so parking can be a little difficult. Ambience and Service- Clean and open dining area. Also included and outdoor area that was either under a tent covering or tables with umbrellas. Self Service style and then the food will be delivered to you

Still a big fan of Alpaca and love it when they cater our lunch at work. The food is always cooked perfectly and portioned well. Plus the quality is consistent. We usually have chicken, beans, rice, plantains, and yucca. Definitely don't skip the sauces. They are flavorful and accompany the dishes well. The green sauce is spicier while the yellow sauce is mild and creamy. Alpaca catering packages the items well and provides ample portions. Overall, the food here is excellent and I recommend it to others!

Let's just all agree that Alpaca is fast, tasty & consistent. My favorite is the cilantro lime dressing. It's tangy, fresh and citrusy. I think it's for salad but it pairs well as a dipping sauce for chicken too.

Tiny flan for $5
Dina L.

What a great surprise to find one of my fave cuisines. Sadly, the food doesn't meet expectations. I got the dark chicken combo with rice and plantains and flan. Plenty of rice with a spoonful of black beans (seasoned?) on top. Pitiful. The thigh and leg were so small. Thankfully it was juicy not dry. The taste was fine but nothing to write home about. Worse of all was the flan. $5 for a tiny container that wasn't light tasting, flavorful or delicious. Don't waste the calories. During the pandemic, I have most places a pass if delivery was lacking. Two years plus, I expect restaurants to have adjusted and present food that as appetizing as eating in.

If Garner has one thing going, it Alpaca Chicken! OMG you guys! They are so good! I had the quarter chicken with yucca and plantains while my son had the Taco Special!

The chicken alone will change your life!!! I am convinced they add crack in all there food because I am addicted!! It's been 7 days in a row for me and I am convinced I am coming back tomorrow!! Nice clean beyond great Peruvian chicken!!! Come and visit so we can become addicted together!!

One word.... YUM! I strongly recommend coming here to eat. Everything was absolutely delicious and very budget friendly. If you want good Latino food just go. You won't regret it!

Arroz Chaufa
Lauren J.

This place is known for its delicious food. Complaints seem mainly personal. My only critique would be that the onion in the Arroz Chaufa was overwhelming. I also got the special, and the onion was a bit overpowering in that dish as well. Plantains & chicken soup were fantastic. I generally love strongly flavored dishes, but the onion did take away from experiencing other flavors on this specific day. I have eaten here before and the flavors were better balanced. This is a particular complaint; but overall the food is great; obviously, as this place stays packed full of people. I would recommend going when it's not so busy, so if you want modifications it would be easy to chat with an employee.

1/4 Dark Chicken

Jeannett & Amairany are mucho Bonita and have excellent customer service every time. The food is amazing it's so delicious it makes your mouth water, and the restaurant is beautiful 10 stars. Best restaurant in Garner. Go now, right now.

a meal of rice, beans, corn, tomatoes, and guacamole

See all

So glad Taste Da Vibez is finally in Garner! Let me just say--there are so many options that I…read morealready know I'll be back. On my first visit, I ordered the hamburger steak with rice, along with mac and cheese and green beans for my sides. Everything was good and full of flavor. The sides definitely gave classic comfort, out-the-box/canned vibes--but still seasoned well and satisfying. Most importantly, it's refreshing to have something in Garner that isn't just another traditional fast-food spot. The service was great and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back and trying more off the menu!

I remembered that I'd heard about a new soul food restaurant opening in the White Oak area and…read moredecided to give it a try. While the location is great, the business doesn't stand out well enough to attract those that may not be looking for it. I parked into the back and entered the back door. While they sell soul food, the vibes feel super Jamaican. Black paint with green and yellow accents. Fairly large and very clean dining area. The cashier didn't really greet me when I walked up. She wasn't rude, but she wasn't friendly or welcoming. She did complement my shirt. Her non-verbal cues made me feel rushed. I had to ask her if they were sold out of anything. That information was not offered. I also had to ask her the price. I ended up ordering the lamb chops plate that came with rice, and two side. I opted for the collards and mac n cheese. It took maybe 5-8 minutes for my plate to come out. 3 other people came in, ordered and left before I did. I think it was because theybhad to grill the lamb chops. Visually the food looked delicious. Very generous serving of everything. However, the collards were the most disappointing collards I've ever had. They didn't taste bad. They just weren't seasoned AT ALL!! they just tasted like a collard with pepper flakes. The rice was just plain and Not seasoned. The mac n cheese was pretty good. They need to season the pasta a bit more and use a more flavorful cheese. The star was the lamb chops. They were a good size, seasoned extremely well, tender, and grilled to perfection! On top of that they gave me 4. They're They're the reason I'm giving 4 stars. I washed all of that down with a slice of their pineapple cake. It tasted like box cake with canned crushed pineapple on top. But it was delicious. I'd go back just for the lamb chops and cake. At $40 though, i won't go back too often. I hope the other sides are much better though!!

I don't think I've ever seen someone with such a " I don't want to be working here " attitude in my life. The only thing he said to me ( amd I mean only ) was " what sides you want. ". No hello. No welcome to Smithfield's. No can I take your order. No thanks for visiting us Nothing. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for an enlightening conversation, but damn y'all. Don't look at me like you want to kill me bcuz I'm visiting your business. You can't miss him. He's about 5 feet tall with 2 feet of braids. And a seriously f'ed up attitude. Personally wouldn't want him as the face of my business. Not exactly a customer orientated personality kinda guy. But chicken and stew were good.

Smithfield's needs to take pride in what they do and what they offer. We went through the drive thru and ordered 2 barbecue sandwiches...which came very light on the coleslaw and the meat was not chopped....instead it was trings of meat and the cole slaw was more like cabbage leaves--not finely chopped at all. And then to have waited for cold food? And as for the large coke (32 oz) chock full of ice barely any coke. The young man at the window seemed a tad bit perturbed when I asked him for less ice and more soda. For us, this place is a "I don't think so any time soon".

I can't believe this place had to close and the only reason was pure greed from the landlord. I've…read morebeen going here since 2017 but recently when they switched to gluten-free fried chicken we started going more because my girlfriend has celiac. On Wednesday's they were doing all gluten-free menu and it was amazing...no crazy unreasonable upcharges, just honest menu pricing and great food. As of this review they are the #2 most reviewed place in Raleigh only behind the Pit. When we went last week for a farewell dinner it took us 3 weeks to get in. We got turned away 2 other times. The place was always packed and busy yet cozy and calm with great service. Hopefully they relocate or put some of the items from the menu at Pooles. Fuquay could use a nice place like this and it would be way cheaper than Raleigh! Best of luck to the staff in the future as they all look for work.

I understand as if you aren't seated when they open, you can expect a 90-minute to two-hour wait. I was hoping to get the Chicken Pot Pie this time and thought my prior visit was just off. I was thrilled that most of the menu was available. They were just out of the banana pudding. So I got to try the pecan wings I read about with the white sauce. It was so good. Then I got the chicken pot pie and biscuits. The pot pie had old biscuits for the topping, but the creamy mixture with large chunks of chicken was delicious. My biscuits came with honey and were served warm. I left with a slice of the chocolate-caramel-coconut cake, a side salad without onions, and a fried boneless thigh. The salad was made correctly, and the dressing was included. The salad was full of veggies, and the cake was rich and moist. Service was friendly and as soon as I finished my iced tea, another appeared. My wings were brought out first and it was a while for the rest of the meal as the restaurant was full. But they didn't rush me at all. I actually liked the space between the dishes, as I might not have been able to eat it all otherwise. I couldn't finish both biscuits and was even provided a container for the honey. I am going to miss Beasley's, but I'm glad I got a positive experience to remember the restaurant.
