    1/4 White Chicken with fries and Rice Topped with Black Beans
    Kristine U.

    This is the BEST chicken I have ever had in my life!! I'm mad at myself for not trying out this place sooner. It is the juiciest, most tender chicken you'll ever have. And those spices they put on it are beyond reproach. My boyfriend works in Morrisville, so he frequents the location out there, and he's always raving about it. He brought me here for lunch today and I loved the atmosphere. There's a giant stuffed alpaca that greets you when you walk in and you place your order at the counter. The women working were very friendly and patient while I decided what I wanted. I ordered the 1/4 white meat chicken meal with fries and beans and rice. They also have yellow (mild) and green (spicy) sauces for dipping. My boyfriend ordered the 1/4 white meat meal with fries and coleslaw. They load a tray with your meals, you pay, get your drinks, sauces and silverware and you find a place to sit. The sides I tried were all incredible. The fries are perfection; crispy and thick cut. The rice and beans were delicious. Next time I'm trying the green beans and tostones. I also appreciate how delicious and strong their unsweetened tea is. Someone posted a review about wanting to eat here 7 days a week and I totally get it. I want to return tonight for dinner! LOL!!

    Food was ok service quick and building was clean. Tried the green and yellow sauce. Yellow sauce tastes like honey mustard and green had a little heat and cilantro. It's rotisserie chicken that I could've got from Sam's Club for five bucks. Was not cooked with charcoal. Probably won't return. My plate with drink was $23

    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

    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!

    Wil G.

    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!

    Food really tasty and waiters are very friendly, the chicken is juicy and tender, very good

    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!!

    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.

    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!!

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.

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 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.
