    1/4 Chicken (Dark meat) $ 13.20 (white meat) $ 13.80
    Olivia C.

    Woke up from a nap around 7pm on Wednesday and was like omg what am I gonna eat for dinner?! Canastas fixed that! They closed at 8 and I got there around 7:15pm. The service was quick and smooth. I got a fresh 1/4 chicken (dark meat) with fried rice, green beans and and extra side of plantains. My order was to-go, but the inside was clean and have tv's and music for entertainment! I tried a plantain in the car in the way home. BABY. CHEF's kiss. Everything was delicious! I even have leftovers so I can do again tomorrow I'll be back SOON.

    Chicken Cilantro Specialty with fried yuca and mixed vegetables

    My kids are always searching for new restaurants in the area. They told me about Canastas Chicken so I decided to try it for myself. I ordered the chicken cilantro with fried yuca and mixed vegetables. The chicken was tasty and the crispy fried yuca was good with ketchup. There was a good mix of roasted broccoli, carrots and squash. The food is prepared after you order so it too a while before they delivered the meal to my table. The restaurant is clean and fairly new in the area. The meal is plenty for two people. I had to box up 1/2 of it and bring it home for a later meal. I want to go back sometime and try something different. Their app is new too. 500 points just to join up. Added a fountain drink too.

    #1 Combo:  Half chicken with three sides and two cans of soda
    Margy C.

    When I walked into this very unpretentious place and heard almost everyone (customers and staff) speaking Spanish, I had every confidence that I was going to enjoy the food. I did an online order 20 minutes earlier but my order was not ready. In fact, the lady at the counter wasn't even aware it was placed. She went to check the computer and yep, it was there. She said it'll be ready in two minutes. It actually took another 10 minutes. I'm not sure why. I was the only person standing at the counter. I really want to give this place 3.5 stars because the portion and taste of the food was more than I ever expected. I got the Combo #1 which was half a chicken with three sides and two cans of soda for $17. This was definitely enough for two people. I'm so glad I have leftovers for another meal. I loved the sauces. I'm going to call them the green sauce and the yellow sauce. The green has a little bit of kick but not too hot. I actually liked dipping the fried yucca in that sauce. The yellow sauce was not spicy and was great on the chicken. I absolutely loved the green beans. I don't know how they prepared it but it tasted like it came from the grill. It was sauteed with onions and had such a wonderful flavor. I don't know why I was thinking canned green beans because these were not. I have a preference for my local rotisserie chicken place's fried yucca so I didn't think these were up to par. They lost one star because the take out containers were styrofoam. I hope they switch to compostable or recycleable containers.

    Unimposing little restaurant tucked away in an odd shopping center.  I have tried many locations of this local chain and they each have thier own personality. Nothing fancy -just delicious food at a great price. The service is excellent and the Peruvian flavors are definitely present. El pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) is an excellent option along with many sides to choose from. I got the 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and house salad because im really addicted to it haha it comes out quick and it is always fresh. The flavor is always really good and they give a big portion. Rice was definitely cooked right. I also got the chicha morada which it had the perfect sweetness and it was delicious!! The service was exceptional, the employees went above and beyond and were very attentive, gracious

    1/4 Chicken with fried rice & potatoes
    Jenn G.

    Excited that our kiddo is open to trying new food locales. Canasta delivered a tasty lunch, although we wish they didn't serve everything on disposable plates with disposable utensils, etc. It feels like a fast food place when you walk in, but the prices are higher than what I would pay for fast food. The flavor is better than fast food. That's for sure! I had Chicken Cilantro with green rice and plantains. Yummo! And I enjoyed each of the sauces. Hubster had a Canasta bowl with chicken (think Chipotle, but different twist on add-ins). And kiddo went with 1/4 chicken with fried rice and potatoes. Looking forward to diving into our leftovers, since the portions were sizable.

    Fried rice, rice and beans
    Yvonne M.

    This was my first time here, It was pretty good. They weren't busy as far as getting a table but we stood at the counter for a little long without anyone acknowledging is as they were making other orders. I ordered 2 side orders, one was rice and beans and the other was plantains. They were $550 for large and $3.50 for small. They pack it tight in the container which is good because they are not cheap so getting large portions makes that easier to accept. I waited a good 15 mins for the food and went home to eat it, it was good, I liked everything. My daughter got chicken and rice and hers was good too. It was a great first experience but I do feel like almost $35 for one entree and 2 sides is alot. That's really my only complaint plaint. Food was good. Service was just okay.

    Cerviche Ceviche Mixto Peruvian Specialty
    Monica S.

    You know you are in an authentic restaurant when all staffs speak Spanish. The menu is very comprehensive for a small shop. There are tons of variations from roasted chickens, pork chops and ceviche. All of them are delicious. I highly recommend to give this place a try.

    Half chicken with two sides! Tasty and moist chicken.
    Celeena S.

    Think Chicken Fiesta's cousin! A friend recommended this place and I said sure ! I was not disappointed. This is a Peruvian chicken food service. You walk up-to the line, place an order, and wait at a table in the dining room. Indoor seating is available, appropriate for casual, family, or groups. This is not a fancy restaurant BTW if that's what you're seeking. The meats are freshly cooked so it may take a brief moment for your meal and if there is a long line it may take a smudge longer. Food is not greasy but light and cooked well. The taste was all there, it looks very simple but it does the job. This location is in the Walmart shopping center among the strip of other stores. Give this a go, you nay be surprised ! Prices range from $-$$ depending on what you are craving.

    I've had Canastas Chicken from their East End location but today was my first time trying out the Glen Allen location. I ordered my takeout at the restaurant and received my food within 10-15 minutes. The staff were friendly and service was great - one of them gave me extra sauce without charging me! People were their wearing face masks properly and the tables looked clean. My go-to order is always their chicken with plantains as one of my side. For my second side, I tried out their cilantro rice for the first time today, which was a little bland by itself but definitely yummier when mixed with the cilantro green sauce. While I liked their chicken - well seasoned and relatively juicy - the green and yellow sauces give it the extra flavor boost!!! To me, the green one is cilantro/jalapeno based while the yellow one is mayo/sour cream based? They also make their empanadas on the spot/after you order. Although I had to wait an extra 5 minutes, it was worth the freshly fried empanadas that were crispy and filled with gooey cheese integrated with seasoned chicken/onions! The quality of the food seemed to be really consistent between to the two locations so I'm excited to come back~

    Half white chicken with green beans and potatoes. Massive portion!

We were starving and wanted some left overs. Ended up ordering online 2 orders of 15 wings, 30 total. We were able to divide each order into two different sauces giving us 4 different sauce tossed wings. Absolutely incredible wings. The wings had a ton of meat on them, we were able to ask for all flats for a small fee which was awesome, they're our favorite. They were ready as soon as I walked in the door. Maybe a 15-20 minute tops turnaround on the online order. We got: -Kickin Cowboy (Honey BBQ) -Truffalo (Truffled Buffalo) -Vampire Parm (Garlic Parmesan) -K-Town Rolex (Korean BBQ) -The ranch was in larger to go cups than I was expecting so I was really able to give these wings a ranch bath, didn't run out of it. Every single one of those sauces was amazing. I can't recommend this place enough if you are looking for some great wings. 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone I know!

Somebody yells your name and YOU pick it up. When done, YOU bus your own table. No humans. So what is the tip for? 5 wings and fries is like $13. No drink. A little pricey but ok. The wings; Garlic Buffalo, with ranch fries. The fries were good. Coated with a batter. So if you like regular fries, not sure you would like them. The wings tasted OK. The sauce was pretty mild and packed with I assume jarred garlic bits. The wings were soggy and swimming in sauce. I ate 3. No point in wet soggy wings. The portion was very large - cook the wings longer? I am not sure of the reviews. Maybe this place is new and it is a hit and miss. Maybe people come out to the eating area so they can see what's going on? The look is standard chip shop. Nothing fancy.

    While visiting Richmond, we decided to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken because the boys saw it on TikTok…read moreand had to try it. Of course, they wanted to do the challenge and try the hottest level--the "Reaper." But baby...when I found out it required me to sign a waiver?! Yeah, that was a hard NO for me. So we played it safe--one got the medium, and the other went with the hot (or super hot--whatever is right under that Reaper level). Now for me--I kept it cute and went with the mild slider and fries. I only ordered one slider because I saw how big they were on someone else's plate, and I was right--it was HUGE! And let me tell you, it was actually really good. The chicken was flavorful, crispy, and cooked just right. And listen... I am not a coleslaw person at all, but theirs? Surprisingly good! The pickle added that perfect sweet and tangy kick that pulled everything together. The restaurant itself was clean and had some really cool, colorful artwork that gave it a fun vibe. And the service? Excellent! The cashier was friendly, patient, and really knowledgeable about the different heat levels and flavors, which made ordering super easy. Now, the only downside for me was the price. It felt a little high for what you get, (the meal did not include a drink) so I did take off a star for that. But overall, the food was good, the kids really enjoyed it, and it was a fun stop during our trip. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Rating: 4/5

    The food here is great! Everything else, not so much…read more.. Decided to sample the menu and here's what we ordered - chicken tender, medium. This came on a piece of bread and lots of pickles and Dave's sauce. Fabulous breading and chicken was tender and not preformed. Kale slaw was creamy and not too sweet, yummy. Fries were nice and crispy. Cauliflower was a nice vegetarian option - well battered. We also tried The Reaper - the waiver was funny - but yeah, it is way too hot to enjoy (even by a Pepper-head). This is more of a frat boy dare thing. Overall, the food was really good and worth the visit. Here's the not so good: The menu doesn't cover everything, especially the vegetarian options, so you have to use the Kiosk for that. There were only 8 customers there at lunch. I can guess why. The floor had lots of random puddles on it and one large one was not marked and no one was mopping or trying to do something. Total slip and fall situation. There were only 2 staff and the counter-person was not welcoming or helpful. The music was really loud. I downloaded an ap, out of curiosity and Billy Joel's Piano man was banging in at 111 at peak and hovered around 85. Seriously, that's lawnmower loud! A couple waited twice as long for their order because they didn't hear their names called. Interestingly, the counter area was quieter than the dining room. The bathroom had run out of toilet paper. There were two empty cardboard rolls, so it had been awhile. Thankfully, there was a half used spool on the tank. No paper towels either. There was soap! So a mixed bag. I hope that Dave's can up their game, because the food was fab.

We also ordered a Honey Butter Buzz chicken sandwich. After waiting 30 minutes, we expected hot food. The fries were cold. The burger had cheese on it that they attempted to scrape off and serve to me! I DO NOT EAT CHEESE!!! The chicken sandwich was devoured by my son. The fried chicken was hot but bland. The cornbread was the best part of my meal - soft and sweet just like I like it. I won't be back personally, but my son may come back. I do not appreciate being given a burger with cheese. If they messed it up, don't try to be slick and scrape it off. Make your customer a brand new one. To prevent me from complaining, my family member just took it to go to eat later himself. Spending over $50, our food should be as ordered. They needed to clean their lobby & the trash attracted gnats and other flying bugs all around the restaurant. Outside of not enjoying my meal, I had to spend my time slapping away bugs. Austin was friendly & there was plenty of parking available. I just wish I had a better experience.
