Almost empty on a weekday lunch hour aside from folks coming in to grab take out. Super tender chicken, great sides and sauces. A 1/4 chicken with two sides and a drink ran me $16, which is a little more than I thought but still would rather give them $16 than give it to McDonald's! read more

This place is my new hyper fixation! We had the Lomo Saltado and the Pollo Saltado with a passion fruit and mango drink. The owner took our order and she was so sweet and we shared a couple stories while we were in there and she deserves every blessing that has come her way. The inside was so clean and so much seating is available even if your just waiting for your to go order. Overall 10/10. read more

Wow! The Peruvian chicken lunch I ordered here was great. I ordered takeout for a work meeting and chose their dark meat chicken meal with two sides. I picked the yuca fries and fried plantains. I also got the alfajors for a dessert. I can't speak about the service since this was takeout from a second party, but I would like to go in person to see what the dining experience is like. They have a lot of fun chicken picks and even gyros. The chicken was tasty. I adored the light green sauce it came with. The yuca was a bit more dry than I would like, but still yummy. I also loved the fried plantains. I was expecting just one alfajor, so it coming with two was a delightful surprise. I would order food from here again! read more

We have been meaning to try this restaurant for a while and just haven't gotten a chance, so one night when it was just us adults, we ordered take out. It was all ready very quickly and smelled amazing! We got two 1/2 chicken meals (one regular and one only dark meat), a pork chop meal, and some fried plantains. The online menu didn't state the meal came with sauce so each of us ordered one of each sauce to try. We ended up getting a bag full of just sauces! Everything smelled so amazing right off the bat. The chicken was fall of the bone perfect! The seasoning was so delicious! I loved the red potatoes. The Yukon fries were fine, nothing wrong with them but nothing extra special either. The plantains weren't my favorite. I know people who would love them. I, on the other hand, felt they needed a little bit of flavor and to maybe be cooked a little more maybe. The dark meat meal does definitely seem like it comes with less chicken which makes sense given the pieces, so take that into consideration when ordering. I didn't mind because I couldn't have finished all of that meat in a regular anyway, plus I prefer dark meat. The pork chops, I was told, we're good and flavorful, if a little dry just because they were very thin and just how they were cooked but not dry in a way that was unpleasant. We all unanimously loved the yellow sauce. I could eat that on everything! We haven't eaten in the restaurant before, but going in there briefly, it's a cute small place that seems fairly quiet and the staff were very nice. We'll definitely be back because the quality and value are on point! read more

This place is great, the restaurant is super clean and very welcoming. The food was very good, I ordered their family meal. For 33 dollars you get a whole chicken, 3 large sides and a 2 liter soda. I enjoyed the Peruvian style fried rice. My son enjoyed the steak bowl, it comes with plenty of food to share. Service was excellent. Next time I will order a side of yuca fries! read more

I came in to buy a gift card Tuesday and Lea greeted me and was so sweet . It was crazy in there and she still had the biggest smile . I bought the gift card for my dad but I'll definitely be back read more

Hard to replace Salsa Chicken but they have exceeded the expectations. Variety of rice dishes, compliments either pinto or black beans. Fried plantains are the ripened version of the green banana. Roasted chicken is succulent and plentiful. My favorite is the seafood stew, called Parihuela, that is served with white rice, is made to order. Your mouth will thank you. read more

Stopped by here for lunch. I live in NoVA which has a peruvian chicken spot in what feels like every neighborhood. This spot was just as great as the local spots I like. Quick service and lots of interior space. read more

My friend arrived from California and was looking for some type of grill or roasted chicken. I recommend Fire & Chicken and closing time was less than 8 minutes, we arrived and the owners were about to lock the doors. I explained we really wanted their type of chicken and we were allowed in. The restaurant was clean with no visible food and we were offered food from the refrigerator and we accepted the offer. The cooks fixed our dinner meal and microwave it to reheat ,we paid our bill and thanked everyone providing our meal. We consume our food at the near by hotel. The quality and taste was excellent some of the best tasting chicken I have eaten and my friend also enjoyed his meal. Thanks to the owner of Fire & Chicken for serving us while most of area restaurants were closed. read more

Great spot for Peruvian chicken. The location is spacious and can easily accommodate larger groups. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. I cannot stress enough that you MUST get the yellow sauce- this sauce contains Aji Amarillo peppers and is phenomenal. The sauce is perfectly balanced and adds to all the dishes available here. Another thing to note is that sauces are available in larger sizes so if you're a home cook these sauces can enhance many dishes. read more

Food here very tasty it was first time eating here we love it the lady there very nice she treats everyone with respect I'm surely recommend this place read more

Best steak and cheese in town! So much flavor. Better than any cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly! I was hesitant to order it but holy moly I'm glad I did. It won't be the last time either. read more

The food is always fresh and flavorful. The charcoal rotisserie chicken and cilantro lime rice is a go-to. Friendly staff as well!

We have always been truly welcomed here. We love the whole chicken, but the rich flavor of the dark meat always delivers. The black beans are the BEST you can get anywhere. The sides are always fresh. They will make it just for you. The dining spaces are always clean, no table is left unclean in our visits there. read more

I stopped by this place for some takeout during a road trip and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It has your Peruvian stable grilled Chicken dish that was on point with all the right flavors. The portion sizes are great too and they don't cut back on quality serving real corn and string beans rather than the cans. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Everytime I order from here- the food is AMAZING!! It's such a good spot buried in the heart of Mechanicsville, it looks like a little hole in the wall on the outside, but it's very beautiful on the inside. I ordered the chicken bowl this time which has been my FAVORITE!! The flavors are phenomenal!! I love the light green sauce they put with it. Also everyone in there is very kind and accommodating. It was my first time trying plantains and I was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be coming here again and again. The reason I give it 4 stars and not 5, is because I did get a few grisly pieces of chicken in my mouth that was stringy and hard like bristles from a brush, which almost made me vomit and put me off to the meal a bit. I know that can be normal with certain food especially one like chicken but it really threw me off- besides that this was 10/10!! read more

I am working my way around the menu. So far, I've ordered 1/4 chicken with sides, mixed kabobs, chicken bowl, tacos, all of the desserts, and the golden cola. Everything has been wonderful so far. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, and very tasty meals. So glad they are here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Still eating lunch here but couldn't wait till I left to review! The 4 big reasons why I will be back again again and all the agains: 1) they have a picture of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless this restaurant and the employees! 2) the employees/owners are very friendly, and hospitable. Very humble people and I can't get enough of them 3) the food is amazing. I'm enjoying the 1/2 dark meat charcoal chicken with cilantro rice and yucca fries. The chicken is a juicy, tender and flavorful. The rice is some of the best I've ever had, and ohhhh don't get me started on these fresh dropped yucca fries. Yummmm especially with the green and sweet sauce 4) the prices are competitive and I appreciate and respect their pricing and menu selection. The best new restaurant in Mechanicsville! Also had some nice relaxing piano music playing! Congratulations Fire & Chicken! read more

Such a disappointment, we tried this place last night, ordered a dish that was steak pork and lamb and there was no pork or lamb, the steak was rubbery and chewy and the meal was cold when we picked it up, the chicken doesn't really taste like Peruvian style chicken either, hard pass on another visit read more

We have wanted to like this place and kept coming back but the management are difficult folks. One day I was getting a "bowl" and customizing it because there are many things I don't want and prefer a few more veggies so the gal put some pico de gallo on top and I simply asked for a couple of tomato slices on that. Finished! Noooo, Miguel, one of the owners, jumped over from the cash register and abruptly grabbed a spoon and flicked the offending tomato slices off saying: "The pico de Gallo has tomatoes in it!" I was stunned. What would you think? read more

Still love this place!! Adding another review with a picture!! The window film is so dark you can barely tell they are open because you can't see lights. All this food for $17.99 - two skeets if shrimp and two sides. Enough for two people, really. There are lots of other sides to choose from and everything I've tried has been great (black beans were a little bland but still good). read more

Hubby, our two daughters and I ventured here. I can't believe this is the first time I've been here and they've been open for 2 years I believe. First I'll tell you it's a hole in the wall of a place from the outside but inside it's cute and small. Not a lot of seating there though. Service was great too. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you which is nice. The food...,was def the best part of this place. One daughter got Buffalo wings and they were kinda spicy but good. Very moist and smoky flavor. Another daughter got chicken quesadillas which were a big portion for a kid. It comes with fries but tasted amazing. I think the smokiness of the chicken made them better than other places I've had quesadillas at. Hubby got the burrito and it was tasty and huge. He said he would get it every time he came. I guess it was THAT GOOD!! I got chicken tacos. They were full of chicken and lettuce, tomatoes and pico de Gallo. Yummy!! Great place. Go there!! Go now!! I read more

Loveeee Peruvian food and this spot is definitely delicious! Can't go wrong! Can't wait to go back for more!

Yoooooo!!!! 6 stars if I could give it to them! I wasn't expecting the authenticity of their Peruvian dishes on the menu! Please try their specialty dishes, they are out of this world. You can't go wrong with their bowls. They blow chipotle out the water! The owner came by and chopped it up with the wife and I. I felt like my abuelita came by to make sure the food was to our liking. I'm from Virginia Beach and I'm definately coming back here! read more

This place isn't much to look at, but when I tell you the food is delicious!!!!!

A bad attitude can ruin a good business. Food is amazing but the attitude of the male behind the counter isn't worth it. Every interaction I've had with him he has been rude! He gives one tablespoon of sauce and please don't ask for another one. We (work) spend Over a $100 weekly and can't get an extra yellow sauce. ‍ You're gonna loose customers over sauce and a BAD attitude! Even to my pregnant daughter. SMH read more
