Recently went to check out this Peruvian restaurant in the Markham Markville area that specialized in their rotisserie chicken. I always passed by but it was nice to check it out. Walked into a sleek and cozy restaurant. In the front, its a takeout area with lots of great deals and the seating area is in the back of the restaurant. In terms of food selection, tried out a quarter chicken leg and their Peruvian salad. Their rotisserie chicken is a family secret recipe and the chicken has been marinated for 24 hours. It was very juicy, tender with a Peruvian flavor to it. It comes with their Peruvian hot sauce which paired well with the chicken. As a group, we also shared the Jalea platter, a mix of deep fried seafood, squid, shrimp with fried potatoes all topped with salsa criolla. Very tasty and enjoyed the batter. Overall, service was very fast and attentive. Good and relaxing dining experience and worth checking out if you like rotisserie chicken in a Peruvian flavor for dine-in or takeout! read more

This restaurant is located in a plaza that makes it less visible however the dining area is cozy and food is authentic and delicious. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable however service was a bit on the slower side, maybe staffing shortage. Otherwise this is a delightful option for excellent Peruvian food and hospitality. read more

Food 3.5/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3.5/5 Stopped by for an early dinner at 5pm. We had the Jalea, a mix of fried seafoods served on a bed of yuca fries, pieces of Tilapia, shrimp, calamari (stringy not tender or fleshy), accompanied by two sauces. Serves 2-4 people. $34. A quarter chicken dark meat which comes with a side of your choice of yuca fries, French fries, rice or a salad. We chose a side of the Peruvian salad. The chicken is well cooked and nicely seasoned, accompanied by two sauces. We enjoyed the salad which was tossed in a light lemony dressing and topped with a quarter avocado. $16. Our friends had the Aji de Gallina, pulled chicken breast in a Peruvian yellow pepper cream sauce served with rice, a grilled potato. I did not taste the dish but my friend was disappointed on the portion of the pulled chicken and there was so much carbs of the rice and potato. Arroz con Mariscos A seafood rice in a creamy sauce with squid, mussels, shrimp pieces. An appetizer of marinated and slices grilled of beef hearts grilled on a skewer. At the end of the meal there were five tables of patrons and only one server. The server was running around trying to attend each table's requests. The server was calm and did his best but it needs more attendants. This plaza has several restaurants. Parking is available in front of the restaurants and behind the restaurants. It can get very busy at peak times. read more

Excellent food with lukewarm service. You just about have to ask for everything, including the check.

Anticuchos - Beef heart skewers are kinda hard to find around here, but this one has definitely caught my heart. Amazingly marinated, and grilled perfectly, the anticuchos came slightly pink in the middle. It gave a very good flavour and chew. Would recommend if you are adventurous. Yuca fries were crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside with a little sweetness on the inside. Quarter leg + peruvian salad - The salad was a premium salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and avocados! The quarter chicken was plump and was cooked very well. Also marinated very and grilled very well. Would recommend! Service was a bit slow on the weekday, but food came out nice and our water did get filled, so can't complain much. Would probably come back again. read more

Good Peruvian food in Markham. Had the Antiochos (grilled beef heart skewers), tilapia ceviche, 1/2 Peruvian roast chicken with basmati rice and Peruvian salad, the Jalea platter, lomo saltado, and the encebollado de pescado (fried tilapia). The grilled beef hearts were excellent and perfectly grilled and seasoned. The Jalea platter was good and perfectly fried and light even though they were fried. The Peruvian Chiu was well seasoned and was cooked well. The lomo saltado was good and the gravy over the fries with the meat was good. The ceviche was good and fairly good size. The fish was ok, it eas well seasoned it overcooked. read more

It's been a while since I came here, but it's amazing I got the half chicken, with yuca fries, and you have to get it with the hot sauce and green sauce, the chicken was tender and mixed with spices, it melts in your mouth, staff was attentive, this place was much bigger than their old one, more seating, if you want a whole chicken you can only get that for takeout, the ambiance was nice, a lot bigger and more spacious than their old location, the yuca fries were perfectly crisp and soft in the inside, and if we needed more sauce the waitress didn't hesitate to give us, decent portion a bit pricey but the chicken was worth it read more

They get 3.5 stars. The first time I went, the chicken was great: moist, flavourful and roasted to perfection with delightfully crisp skin. The Chica morada (purple corn drink) was a bit of an acquired taste - slightly sour. The Picarones were unbelievably light and crispy. Unfortunately they had almost no taste except for a bitter undertone and the raw sugar cane syrup was simplistic and didn't do much. On another occasion, got takeout from them. Arroz con mariscos (seafood rice) was pretty tasty & it was a big portion. Ceviche was tasty, came with fish & mussels & it was quite big. The seafood is not the freshest but it's still ok. The Chicken had a nice BBQ flavour with a hint of sweetness. The chicken flesh was a bit dense though. read more

I've passed by this place so many times and finally took the plunge on a whim. I got the Lomo Saltado, and the ceviche for takeout. While the price does seem a bit high, the portion sizes are quite large. $25 for ceviche is quite steep but the portion is enough for like 6 servings. I really wanted to like the Lomo Saltado, I really did. But it was honestly almost inedible. The beef was cooked to death and was so dry and bland. The rice had a nice flavour but was way too salty. I tried to mix everything together to try and balance the flavour but the brown sauce underneath was even saltier. That green sauce did add a nice flavour to the dish, but everything was just far too salty to enjoy. The ceviche was pretty good. A little bit salty but it had a nice flavour. I'm not sure if it was potato or yuca, but I've never had it in ceviche and I honestly really liked it. I'm not sure if I enjoyed the cancha or not. While it adds a nice flavour, the texture was very unpleasant. It was chewy and stale. Kind of like eating a handful of popcorn kernel shells. The chunks of ceviche were also not cut the same size . There's some big chunks, some small, and some strips. While I don't particularly mind the variation, I think it would have been more balanced if the pieces were more uniformly cut. read more

I've been a fan of Los Chicos since they opened, because of their flavorful menu items and reasonable prices. I went back today for their seafood rice with mussels, shrimps and squid - and omg, it was delicious as expected and I was pleasantly surprised by the price! For $22 it overflowed my serving dish, and look at the amount of seafood shown in rhe photo! I was too hungry to dig up the shrimps and squid that's buried in the rice, but I assure you there's more! read more

Los Chicos Brasa - Seafood rice (arroz con marisco) was delish!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Always passed by this place and I finally got a chance to try it out! Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. I called ahead to order and the lady told me 10-15 minutes. I get that they can be busy with other takeout orders and dine-in customers (I didn't see any people dining in), but I arrived 30 minutes after the call (gave them an extra 15 minutes) and it's like I didn't place an order at all. I had to repeat my order again and they started to make it. What's the point of calling ahead of time? They should just tell me to come in to make an order instead. I ordered the double thigh and leg, with a side of yucca fries. The chicken wasn't dry, which was great! (+1 star) They were quite small, however, and the taste wasn't anything special (think rotisserie chicken). Maybe my expectations were too high. The yucca fries were an experiment and turns out I don't like them - they're quite dry. Not sure if this is the intended taste and texture, so not considering this for my rating. I paid $20 and to me, it wasn't really worth it. I'd rather go get myself a whole rotisserie chicken from elsewhere for like $10. Judging from the other reviews though, maybe takeout just isn't the same. read more

This is my second time trying peruvian food. I'm a bit biased though, cause my peruvian great aunty comes over once a year to make peruvian food. But here's the review: Ordered the following: Yuca fries so delicious! That green sauce makes it so good, I don't know how to describe it. The taste of the yuca fries is not like eating regular french fries. For me, it's a bit bland... but once you add the green sauce it changes the playing field in your mouth. Ceviche had large chunks of fish and mussles. It was quite good. I'm use to the fish being cut up smaller. But this was tasty and filling. Lomo Saltado to be honest, was actually my least favourite... just because there were too many fries. Especially if you ordered yuca and then you find out your entree also had more fries it was a bit overwhelming. Plus the sauce from the beef soaked into the fries and made it taste a bit soggy and bit salty too. The beef was a bit tough. Roasted chicken (didn't get a chance to take a picture but was the highlight of the whole meal. I really enjoyed the way they roasted the chicken, skin was slightly crispy and the meat was tender. I'm a dark meat type of gal, so it was so yummy. I think the price overall was a bit expensive. But all in all, good experience. read more

I've always loved their yuka fries but recently found out they had burgers and had to try! Verdict: Amazing! Super big patties that are freshly made. Add on an inca cola and you're good to go! read more

We had this place for takeout - first time trying it. Service: Seems good, accurate pick up time. I believe they do delivery as well. Food: Charcoal rotisserie chicken - amazing. The breast was still juicy and flavorful as were the dark meat pieces. Enjoyed the char without the bitterness. The yuca fries are quite good. Nice crust on the outside and decently soft inside. Yuca is a bit more dense so it's natural for it to be a bit harder but still really enjoyable. The sauces are awesome. Love the hotter orange one - just a perfect kick without being too strong. There's a green sauce that's not as spicy which is good too. Caesar salad - nothing to write home about, just lettuce, some large cut croutons and dressing. Still hits the spot and the lettuce seems quite fresh. Overall, I'd come back to have more chicken and try other items on their menu. read more

Los Chicos is a solid 4 stars. Situated in Markham is this awesome Peruvian restaurant serving traditional fare (the menu is also completely halal). They have a takeout section in the front followed by quite a lot of seating in the back. Came on a Friday night of the long weekend and was seated immediately. The maître de was very kind and friendly, as was the waitress. I decided on what is a classic Peruvian dish - roast chicken with yuca fries on the side. My table also ordered the pasta/meat dish (for the life of me the name escapes me). The roast chicken was delicious. According to the menu it's slow cooked for up to 24 hours. It was so juicy and the skin was incredibly crispy. What really stood out were the signature Peruvian sauces which were quite amazing. The pasta was not bad but the spotlight here was really on the chicken. I found the pasta quite salty and filled with onions. The yuca fries were a bit too salty for my liking as well. In all, the service and chicken at this restaurant were quite good. I'd definitely r read more

This place was average. That word best sums up my experience. Came here to celebrate my friends' birthdays last night. The restaurant was smaller than I thought it would be, with not that much seating. It also wasn't that busy for a Saturday evening. Service was alright. It was good for the most part, but I did have to ask for our glasses of water to be refilled. We were also not able to order alcoholic beverages. This irked my dinner companions who wanted to enjoy a glass of beer/wine with their meals. On to the food - I ordered the quarter chicken leg and yuka fries. I liked the flavour and seasoning of the chicken but it was quite small in size. You can see the portion size of chicken to yuka fries from my picture. For $13.50, I didn't think it was worth the price. The yuka fries were crispy and good though. I also liked the two sauces that came with the dinner. As I said, this place was average and it didn't have enough to bring me back, so I probably won't return. read more

I would say this is a 3.5 stars rating. The good: Let's start with the food. I ordered the 2 double leg chicken with yuca fries, ceviche and the anticuchos (beef heart). They were all very delicious, and well seasoned. I loved the 3 dips they provided. I dipped my yuca fries in all of them. The waiter was friendly and helped us when we settled in. The bad: You should make a reservation because the wait is long! I waited 50 minutes on a weekend to get a table and was told it was a 30 min wait. The anticuchos was just okay and was a bit tough, so maybe I didn't get it on a good day. I would come back as this is a nice Peruvian restaurant for the Markham area. read more

I gave these guys a 4.5 star at their old location (literally just judging their signature chicken) and after my recent visit at this new location I'm gonna bump it up to 5 stars. Incredible meal. Wow. Where to start. Ok first off, when I frequented the old establishment, there weren't very many items on the menu and it seemed like everything centered around the chicken. Now, it is a sit-down restaurant foremost, and then a take out restaurant second (the take out menu pretty much focuses just on the chicken still, you don't see the other interesting items). I highly recommend the sit-down experience. Two of my best friends are brothers from Lima, Peru and they told me this place is by far the most authentic peruvian joint in the GTA. Anyways, we had a HUGEEEEE spread for a birthday so we got to try a lot of things. Appetizers: - papa a la huancaina: boiled potatoes in a really delicious cheesy cream sauce - ceviche mixto: SUPER FRESH seafood topped with some red onion and garnished with some roasted corn (very punchy lime taste, just amazing) - anticuchos: OMGGGGGGGG my first time ever trying grilled cow heart. BRUH this dish is life changing. My goodness, I couldn't stop thinking about it the day after. SO TENDER, SO JUICY MMMMM Mains: - jalea: assorted SUPER FRESH fried seafood (tilapia, calamari, octopus, shrimp, etc.) on a bed of their crispy yuca fries - lomo saltado: soft beef in a unique peppery marinade served with onions, bell peppers and some rice - arroz con mariscos: I've had seafood rice at a bunch of other restaurants and this one is right up there with the rest. Packed with lots of seafood and amazing sauce on the rice. It might be the best bang for your buck because the dish is deep and the portion is very generous (for all you big eaters out there). - pollo a la brasa: THE SIGNATURE CHICKEN. As per my review for the old location, still "putting that swiss chalet rotisserie to shame!" Still true. Still super flavorful chicken. Juicy dark meat. Juicy white meat. MMMMM. Homemade Spicy orange sauce and homemade mild minty green sauce to go with the chicken. Side of yuca fries. Heaven. special of the day (secret menu item): - aji de gallina: strips of chicken in a creamy yellow chilli sauce and served with rice. Get a 2L inca cola (for sharing) to wash it all down and you have a complete feast. The portions tend to be on the smaller side if you are just ordering for yourself (EXCEPT for the seafood rice) so I would recommend coming with a large group of buddies to share lots of food. I had considered keeping my new rating at the previous 4.5 or even decrease to a 4 star all because of how expensive they are, but the quality of the food far surpassed my expectations, so I feel that they deserve 5 stars. Even though it is pretty damn expensive (I saw cartoon flies flying out of my wallet afterwards), sometimes you can't put a price on really good food. As an aside though, if these guys were cheaper I'd probably find myself here quite a bit. read more

Maybe -0.5 stars for slowness. Came on a Saturday night, and was told there'd be a 30 min wait. They have a takeout section too, but we decided to wait because I thought 30 min wasn't too bad, and the takeout menu was limited anyway. Unfortunately it ended up being closer to 50-55 minutes. Ordered Ceviche Mixto, Anticuchos (skewered beef heart), and Double Leg Brasa Chicken (with side of yuca fries). The food itself was pretty good. The fish in the ceviche seemed fresh, and the strong citrus was refreshing. The beef hearts were grilled well, served with a slightly spicy/tangy sauce. The chicken was juicy and delicious and accompanied with crispy yuca slices and two other sauces. Overall food was good, price was reasonable and the service was actually friendly. It was just unfortunate the wait in the beginning took quite a bit longer than expected with no real explanation or updates while waiting at the front. read more

First time eating at their new location. Nice place. Crappy parking lot, not enough spaces. The chicken was good but I couldn't help feeling like they've lost a little bit of that magic. It wasn't as flavourful as it was at the old location. Maybe the oven needs to be seasoned a little more? The yucca fries were awesome, as usual. Their prices went up. Too bad. I'll be back but I hope they rediscover the magic. read more

Had the Jalea dish. Shared it for 2 people. Approximately $22. It is a very big dish filled of fried seafood on Yuka fries. Barely finished it. From start to finish, it tasted amazing. Usually, I would get bored of eating the same thing. But not with this dish. The fried fish was not like fish and chips. But it had the right amount of batter and you can taste the fish. Next time, I would bring more people just to share more dishes with. My mouth is very dry after eating a ton of fried stuff. I would definitely come again and order different things for sure. Great price, big dishes, cute restaurant. read more

Amazing food!! I never thought I'd find a place with good ceviche in this area. Love the Ceviche mixto! Will definitely! I highly recommend!

Wanted to try something new and different from our usual family friday dinner. This is our first experienced having peruvian food. At first I thought it was only for take out. The front serves take out which offers only different Pollo a la brasa(rotisserie chicken) options. But after the take out counter, there is a small walkway that leads to the sit down area. There was no line up but the place is filled. Place is small, clean and modern with wall to wall of art. One side showing panoramic scenery of Machu Pichu. A simple menu with appetizers, salads, sandwiches, chicken and main courses. We decided to order double leg Pollo a la brassa, Arroz con Mariscos and Jalea. First came Jalea which is a huge serving of battered deep fried tilapia fish, shrimp, squid on top of yuca fries(cassava) which has 2 dipping sauce(spicy and sweet herb) . I love the crispiness of the yuca fries dipped in the sweet green herb sauce. Then came Pollo a la brasa which smells very appetizing. Charbroiled and marinated with spices, very tasty. Lastly, my favorite is the Arroz con Mariscos, it is similar to seafood paella but more spicy. Service is great! Our server is very friendly, she checked up on us a couple of times and made sure we are taken care of. read more

First time trying Peruvian food and I loved it! Comparable to Portuguese food, only better (in my opinion), because it seems to have more flavour. The smell of barbeque meat greeted us upon entering the restaurant; as to foreshadow how good the food was going to taste. We ordered 2 quarter chicken dinners. One with fries as the side 5/5 and the other potato salad 5/5. The fries were thick cut and fried to perfection. The potato salad was surprisingly good. Just the right amount of mayo and didn't have the unnecessary veggies. The quarter chicken was tender and seasoned well 5/5. Lost a star here because one of the drumstick served was under cooked, but they brought a new one out (with the thigh). Gave them back the star. Another star was deducted because they forgot to give us our drinks until after our meal was done. Also, during this visit the place was freezing cold because their heating was broken. Normally, not a big deal but it made the food turn cold real fast. Overall, good food. Probably would have enjoyed it better in room temperature, but I'll be back. Maybe I'll call in advance for take out next time. read more

I really wanted to give this 4 stars, but the service was unbelievably slow. They only had 1 server for the entire restaurant. Not the greatest idea during the lunch rush. I had the quarter leg and ended up coming back later on in the week for the double leg. The chicken was really good. Comparable to Swiss Chalet but better. The sauce is amazing!!! If anything, that gives it the edge over other chicken places. Places smells great and has a cozy feel to it. I would consider coming back for dinner; maybe the service would be better? Avoid for lunch, you'll probably be late for work. read more

Los Chicos Brasa - Quarter Leg (side Caesar Salad) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Context: Tuesday evening around 6pm Atmosphere: Hip Latino, South American music Spacious room between tables Not busy at the time, about 2-3 occupied tables Mix of takeout and dine in Food: Got the ceviche: Very sour sauce with large slabs of tilapia, corn, lettuce, a piece of shrimp, and mussels. For $17, quite pricey for what we got. I'm not a big fan of sour anyway so I couldn't really appreciate the dish. AAA sirloin beef in vinegar sauce (Lomo Saltado ...): good flavour but meat was cut up in strips and lost that nice texture. Served with a side of rice and fries + sautéed red onions. Passable but not amazing. For $18, not worth. Seafood rice (Arros Mariscos): very buttery with mixture of squid, mussels (not flavourful at all) and trace bits of unknown seafood. Very heavy and filling dish, but on the whole, heavily butter-based. $19. Finished off with two 1/2 chicken meals at $16.5 each. Both came with a side. We got corn and yuka fries (cassava deep fried fries). Chicken was a tad dry but the best part was the mild/spicy sour sauces. Quite tasty and creamy. Not super filling but should be substantial given the choice of side. Service: Very kind service from the younger male who looks to be related to the family running the business. He's in a few of the photos on the wall. However, he didn't clear up leftover dishes promptly, which also led to an aggregation of fruit flies by our dishes. Not the best experience. Served 5 people with 4 dishes + ceviche to total $98 after tax. I recommend Nando's for a cheaper and similar tasting experience. read more

TLDR: Decent place for chicken, doesn't stand out in a good or bad way. Sides are meh, and prices are a little bit heavy for what you're getting. Worth a try if you're really into chicken but there are certainly better places to go (taste- and money-wise) Got some takeout here with my family. We got a half chicken ($13.50) as well as a whole chicken ($22.50), both of which come with a regular side. For the sides we got the Yuca Fries, which was like a very dense type of potato that is nowhere near as good as regular potato fries, and the rice, which was plain basmati rice with no seasoning or anything like that. The portions of the sides were fair, but there could've been more rice considering we paid $22.50 for a whole chicken. The seasoning on the chicken was good, some of the skin was burnt and my brother mentioned that the last time he went there it was even more burnt. The whole chicken isn't actually a whole chicken - it's simply two breasts with the wings intact and two quarter legs (which is actually smaller than a "whole chicken." The breast was actually soft and juicy, which was good, and the dark meat on the chicken was tender as well. What really carried the meal however were the sauces that they give you. i got a green mild hot sauce and a more orange-y hot sauce. They were both very flavourful and added a very nice kick to the chicken (although the chicken was good enough to not need any sauce, the sauce really helped with the basmati rice). It's hard to say whether the meal was really worth it or not. On the one hand you can get a whole Costco Rotisserie Chicken for like $9 where you actually get a whole chicken, and the meat is just as tender - in my opinion, just as good. However, I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison and you can also look at it from the perspective that it was an $11.25 meal for two people, which would make it decent. But even if we compare it to Nando's (which I've actually never been but I've heard amazing things about), the price of a whole chicken there is $18.50 so Los Chicos is probably overpriced. read more

I am updating this review because the owner apologized for the bad service and even gave me a family meal on the house because of what happened which was a pleasant surprise.

Glad that this place has a sit down area. Los Chicos Brasa focuses on the popular Peruvian seafood, chicken and grilled options. Their menu has a good selection, not too big, as they can focus on quality of the dishes they serve. For drinks Jen had the Inca Cola - creme soda, unfortunately this place doesn't have an alcohol license so no Pizco sour for me :( For food we were feeling adventurous and opted for the Jalea- a HUGE....HUGE assortment of fried seafood on a bed of yummy Yuca fries served with a spicy salsa creme on the side. Peruvian Chicken Salad- presentation was great, what made this salad was the chicken itself, quite flavorful and portions were sufficient for both of us. Overall the ambiance is nice, service was great, menu options were good, however some aspects of the menu seemed pricey....$17 for a ceviche. hmmm lol. read more

We had dinner there on a Friday night, not very busy but we had to wait for at least 10 minutes to order and then 30 minutes or more to get the food. One of the dishes we order never made it, they did not have enough sauce for the "papa a la huancaina". Not a good answer for a peruvian restaurant. The young man serving was pleasant, but not very well trained; we needed to ask for napkins; sugar and spoon for the coffee, which by the way it was terrible and they charged $4 per cup. Very pricey for the quality of the food. The chef was to busy up front and kept yelling, very loud; not a nice atmosphere. We won't be going back read more

Summary: the chicken, sauce, and yucca fries are delicious and worth the slightly higher price and somewhat average portion size. Top Must-Get: half chicken brasa with yucca fries Top Regret: french fries (and parking) Los Chicos was quite popular among locals in its first location by Markham Rd and 14th in the plaza across Costco - and with good reason: they served, in my opinion, the best rotisserie chicken in Markham. In its new location (right next to Congee Queen), they have the old menu and a new exclusive dine-in menu. *This review focuses mainly on the takeout side of things* *Tip: takeout is cheaper than dine-in! FOOD Chicken: the dark meat is juicy, tender, well-flavoured, and borderline addicting. The Peruvian spices/seasoning really hits the spot. Add in their Chico house sauces (comes with every chicken meal) and you've got yourself a winner. The white meat is not nearly as tender (naturally), but still good. Having said that - the portions lend to the slightly smaller size, so I do recommend the half chicken at minimum (and I'd go with two sides to even begin to try to satisfy those with big appetites...) Having said THAT - this Peruvian taste does not come cheap: half chicken with ONE side goes for about $15+. Sides: they offer a variety of sides - here's a breakdown. Rice: yellow rice, standard fare, slightly small portion size. Tastes really good with the homemade sauce. French fries: seemed to be a little soggy, but I rarely order these, since they have... Yucca fries: yucca is a root, and they deep fry those roots to crunchy perfection. Worth trying! They also offer corn (no longer on the cob) and salads (below). Salads: Their potato salad is on point (4/5), and their Caesar is solid too (3.5/5). They also offer a Peruvian salad, which somewhat resembles a garden salad but with zucchini instead of cherry tomatoes.You can add chicken to any of the salads (totaling around $10) and that brings them to a 4.5/5 Sandwiches: they taste pretty good! The meat is fairly juicy, and they pack some of their sauce into it, so that's always tasty. I'd recommend the half chicken meals over this in general though. (3/5) SERVICE Expect friendly folks who are always smiling. Sometimes they get pretty busy, so expect at least 15-20 minutes to order. This is NOT fast food. Their dine in menu is considerably different with many more options, including seafood and beef. You cannot ask for the dine in options as takeout, which is a bit unfortunate. You don't come here for a cheap and quick meal with giant portions. This is the place for a really tasty meal to satisfy a rotisserie style chicken craving in a local, authentic Peruvian restaurant. Ultimately, this is a 4.5/5 for takeout, but closer to 4 for dine-in. Clearer instructions about the take out/dine in separation would be great - we came here one night and it was full, so we tried to get some takeout... But the items we wanted were dine-in only. They make no exceptions, even for a regular like me. That was a little off-putting. read more

It's a unique restaurant; not many places are going to offer you Peruvian flavours. The chicken dinners are usually tasty. I especially love the aji pepper sauces that are served with the chicken. Their potato salad is amazing as well. The Lomo Saltado is also amazing. Papa a La Huancaina is also something I've tried and enjoyed. The only dish I wasn't a fan was the ceviche. But it's a place I frequent with my family. read more

Environment - 3 Stars for the look of the restaurant. First sight walking in seems like a take out area, then back of the store is a restaurant setting. Customer Service - 2 Stars. I have a thing about judging customer service based on having my glass of water always full.. server walked by many times and I'm sure she saw our emptied glasses but she waited until we requested more... went around 6PM, restaurant wasn't busy... only 2 tables including ours were occupied and one server. Cutlery was already at the table, but mine was dirty so I grabbed it from another table. Server never asked how our food was (it was our first time there so they should really take care of their customers to make sure they become returning customers) Food - 2.5 stars, chicken was okay in terms of flavor... I could only taste some seasoning on the crisp skin of the chicken, but throughout the chicken it was all salt. Chicken wasn't dry which was good. I was expecting something like Nando's but guess my expectations were too high... yuca was okay- again.. salty (hence why our waters were always empty). Caesar salad was basic with "homemade" croutons which were soggy. Hot sauce was actually mild and mild sauce was very bland. I also read on yelp that their prices went up which gave me a sign that this place would be busy and poppin.. but it wasn't. Overall, I would come back to this place but as a last resort when craving Peruvian food.. read more

I am not familiar enough with the Peruvian cuisine to have a frame of reference to tell if the food is authentic Peruvian here, or anywhere. I can, however, attest that the chicken at Los Chicos Brasa is flavourful and moist.. The spice and taste are unique in the Markham neighbourhood. It tastes a mix of salt and chilli, balanced by a smokiness that is likely from the roasting. It doesn't taste too salty to me, though it could be to some. I dined at the old location before. I am aware of the small portion of the quarter chicken dish. For my visit at this location, I ordered a take out of a half chicken with one side ($13.50 plus tax) for dinner. The chicken portion was slightly smaller than Swiss Chalet, but there was more than enough food for dinner. I had enough leftover to pack lunch the next day. The take out service was friendly and fast. The take out area is spacious and clean. LCB has my respect that they would open a non-Asian/Halah eatery in the neighbourhood. Their gut pays off, and mainly because the food sells itself. read more
