    Busy at 5:30pm already! Day before NYE
    Joyce C.

    Pretty good! It seems like they just happen to be closed (open later) or on vacation the times that I've been nearby & wanted rotisserie chicken. A lot of Astorians say that they're the best Peruvian rotisserie chicken in the area & "Chino Latino" restaurant (more than the other one further down Broadway). I think the food here is better than it's viral sister restaurant in Sunnyside. And cleaner, brighter, & with more of a neighborhood feel. An young man was just finishing an early dinner with his grandmother, helping her leave the restaurant with her cane. Other small families came in for dinner also. The other place's dining area seems like a hallway rest stop for workers, couples & their late lunch. I ordered the around $22 1/4 Chicken (dark meat) & 3 Spare Ribs w/ white rice. Be prepared to wait a bit - they are THAT busy. I got there around 5:30pm on a weekday & there were already 5-7 people in the front area waiting for their orders. The Green Sauce! is good & Much better than their sister restaurant's. Balanced between savory with a bit of spice & herb. I enjoyed the spare ribs more than the chicken. They were super tender & a medium flavor. Would actually appreciate a little bit more marinade, but it was decent. The chicken was just okay, needed more marinating time/flavor. Rice was long grain & mostly moist & cooked well. Never a fan of place's fried rice - always lacking flavor & not moist.

    Yup had to come back here! Ordered to stay in again and managed to find a table of four available on a Friday night. The line for take out and to order in are the same. The server does not take your order, you place it yourself. The server will bring you your dish. Great pricing and great foods. Will be coming back again in the future!

    A food reviewer that I know of did a review of an Asian fusion place so it sparked an idea of where to go for lunch today. This place was only a 4 minute walk from the Blink Gym I frequent so not a hard decision to head there. Small gripe I'd have to address before I get to the meat of the review. I'd strongly advise paying cash at this establishment. They do have a card/cashless option but the machine they got is very dated. I initially used one of my cards with digital currency which doesn't have a PIN as a prompt, it should be instant access but it kept asking for a PIN and by how old that card reader was, didn't have the option to bypass that so I had to use my credit card, which I didn't want to at the time but went with it. Thankfully I didn't have the uncomfortable situation a lady after me had when she ordered her food by card, having an issue about being charged $45 for her food saying the card reader charged her a different price than what her order was initially supposed to be. Thank God my card wasn't robbed like that but for real, that place needs to invest in a newer and better card reader. Wow that was a lot I got out of my chest, I apologize that y'all had to read all of that before I got to the review, lol. Payment struggles aside, I got something simple, half a chicken w/ pork fried rice and salad. The rice is okay but it's nothing some hot sauce doesn't fix and the place has that in spades. Salad is salad, nothing more, nothing less but the Chicken is absolutely delicious. Pretty tender, juicy and none too dry. Well worth the $16 I paid it for. That also included the soda I picked, Inka Cola and it's absolutely spot on, definite recommend. Also the place in general, fairly narrow but plenty of seating, pretty middle of the road. You can get a good meal but do take note to bring some cash with you, so you won't have to worry about any card mishaps from their very obsolete looking card readers.

    best chicken ive had in a long time. green sauce is crazy good with the chicken and pork fried rice is solid. no frills place that feels kinda greasy but the food is worth it. i came back to try the ribs which were also very good.

    This place has been on my radar for months and I finally got to try it out. It's an old school Peruvian Chinese restaurant that serves rotisserie chicken and ribs. I decided to get the chicken and ribs combo with rice and beans and salad for around $20. The portions were huge and definitely enough for two people to share. The chicken was probably one of the most moist and tender roasted chicken I've ever had! It was juicy, well seasoned, and falling off the bone. The ribs were also well seasoned but I definitely prefer the chicken. Overall an amazing place to have Latin American food!!

    The food is ok. The chicken is tender but a bit salty. The ribs are aslo tender but salty. The salad is just a pile of iceberg lettuce, a few slices of carrots and a tiny drizzle of Russian dressing. The pork fried rice had no pork. If you're looking for inexpensive bite this is it but the food is a tragedy at best.

    Placed my food order to go. I love lomo saltado. It was good. Be prepared to wait, they are extremely busy. Please know it is well worth the wait.

    Came here with my boyfriend and we both ordered the chicken and rib combo with French fries . We ordered a Colombiana to drink and fried wontons to share Wontons were flavorful it wish there was less wrapping . Paired well with the sweet and sour sauce The ribs were nice and tender and flavorful Chicken was nice and moist The fries crispy and hot Comes with a salad as well with some sort of French dressing Staff was super nice , waiters were always ready to ask what we needed And prices are good !

    A MUST go. Their chicken is out of this world, the place is run by a wonderfully sweet man, and the price is extremely good for the amount of food you're getting. Genuinely find myself coming back for the deal and good food all the time. Their soup is also awesome. Kind environment and a place I want to support.

    I've been getting chirped on my IG/Tiktok for never branching out of Manhattan or Brooklyn... lowkey a fair criticism though so I gotta take it on the chin. My homie, who lives in Astoria, has been hyping up Caravan Chicken for the past 6 months. "Bro you gotta try my chicken spot I swear..." This past Saturday, our schedules finally aligned. After a 52 minute journey on the N train, I arrived at what I could immediately tell would be an all-time Chicken spot: The uniquely Latin American smell of fresh roast chicken hitting your nostrils as you open the door, an overhead menu straight out of 1999, signs in both Spanish and English for "No Comida ni bebida del afuera", yellow walls littered with Peruvian decor, table seating in the back, and a worn in industrial kitchen with Latinos working overtime. What else can you ask for? I went with the half chicken with pork fried rice and a salad ($13.50). I'm normally a yellow rice kinda guy, but the pork fried rice seemed to be their thing. This chicken exceeded my expectations, which were in the stratosphere at this point. Perfectly charred and seasoned skin, and tender juicy meat (haha) accompanied by a Peruvian green sauce that was to die for. It's damn near at the top of my roast chicken rankings in the city. Casa Adela still my p4p #1 though. The pork fried rice was good, but didn't blow my mind. Should have stayed true to myself with the yellow rice, but I'm trying to grow as a human being so I regret nothing. I'll probably get chirped now for "only going to Astoria... these food influencers never set FOOT in Jackson Heights..." but that's okay, I'll get there. I take pride in proving people wrong, and proving myself right. Shoutout to my guy Marinos for the Caravan Chicken rec. I'd be here 2x a week if I lived close. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    1 Rotisserie Chicken (~$17), Quart of Vegetable Fried Rice (~$13), Fried Sweet Plantains (~$5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: 1 Rotisserie Chicken (~$17) Quart of Vegetable Fried Rice (~$13) Fried Sweet Plantains (~$5) Aya's take: Caravan Chicken is an Astoria staple serving delicious rotisserie chicken for years! Their Rotisserie Chicken is tender, briny, and nicely roasted on the outside. The chicken skin has so much flavor and saltiness that is nicely balanced by their green sauce. The Vegetable Fried Rice had plenty of vegetables and wasn't too salty making it a good side for the Rotisserie Chicken. I love Fried Sweet Plantains aka maduros which really made this meal feel complete. My only issue is that it was drenched in oil. It would've been great if they used a paper towel to soak up the excess oil after they took it out of the fryer. Very filling meal enough for two people, with plenty of leftovers!

    1/2 chicken with salad and rice
    Demi A.

    You don't go here for the ambiance or for the service - you go for the food. New Yorkers know. However, the place is clean and the staff does their job well. 10/10. Flavors, readiness, freshness, and uniqueness; caravan chicken is one of my favorite stops while in Astoria.

    1/2 chicken plate
    Chris A.

    Went here based on reviews and wasn't too impressed for the price . The chicken was very salty . The sad was a few pieces of lettuce with dressing. The beans not too flavorful. The chicken really did look delicious on the plate but as stated way too much sodium for my liking . The inside is very dated .

    It's way overpriced for chicken and ribs or rice/ noodles . You can get the same meal elsewhere for a lot cheaper, the price is the problem.

The only…read morereason I return is because it's my grandmother's preferred restaurant since she lives nearby. We arrived around 6:20-6:30 p.m. There were plenty of open tables, but we weren't seated until much later. During that time, the male waiter seemed more concerned with other tasks. He was seating a woman whose party of six hadn't yet arrived, going back and forth to the kitchen, handing out receipts, and collecting menus. After all of that, he finally approached us--not to seat us--but to ask, "How long are you going to take?" I replied, "Sir, we're here to eat." He responded that the side tables were for people watching the game. I explained that we were there to dine, as this is a restaurant. Even after we were seated, he avoided our table completely. He took the order of a table that had been seated after us while we continued waiting. About 20 minutes later, a female waitress noticed we had not been helped and took over our table. She was attentive, professional, and the only reason we received service. After placing our order, we waited about an hour for our entrées. The food was also underwhelming. The Papa a la Huancaína came with an excessive amount of sauce and very few potatoes. The Ceviche Mixto lacked the bright citrus flavor that ceviche should have. My grandmother, who is very familiar with Peruvian cuisine, found it bland, and even after taking it home we couldn't improve it. The Bistec Encebollado was slightly too salty for our taste. The beans simply weren't to my liking, though that's a matter of personal preference. Another issue is the dining room layout. The seating is extremely tight, to the point where it feels like you're almost elbow-to-elbow with the tables next to you, making the experience feel cramped. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the slow and inattentive service, the long wait for food, the cramped seating, and several disappointing dishes, the experience did not justify the visit. The female waitress deserves recognition for stepping in when we had been overlooked, but unfortunately she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience.

Although the food was good ... majority of it; as I feel the papa à la huancaina either had too many condiments or expired dairy products. Overall it was okay but the owner speaking to my mother in such a disgusting way in the end really had me flabbergasted. And I didn't get involve in their conversation as I had my baby with us.

Also I kind of figured you guys "owned the place" as while you sat down and ate your meal you were observing and listening to everything my parents and I were saying. The place was practically empty when we walked in; aside from the 3 people at the bar and a family sitting all the way in the back also with their baby. Our waiters were nice!
