Tried Alpaca Chicken about a month ago on a night I didn't feel like cooking. There is parking…read moreavailable out front, though when we went about an hour before closing it was pretty packed and hard to find a parking spot. Inside, the restaurant has a setup similar to Chipotle, but more with a Peruvian style feel. To order you walk up to the counter to place your order. I ordered the 1/4 chicken combo which comes with two sides. For the chicken you can choose dark or meat. For the sides I chose the corn (which was a bit undercooked) and rice. The chicken was good but it reminded me a bit of higher quality rotisserie chicken you might pick up from the store. My biggest hesitation is probably the value for the price. The 1/4 chicken meal portion feels a little expensive for the size. The daily specials seem like the better value since they also come with a drink. My partner ordered the daily special chicken tacos. They arrived cold and were covered with more raw onions then we personally prefer. The standout for both of us was the green sauce and you could add this to anything to make it taste good. Overall I'd still consider giving it another try if I'm even in a pinch and am looking for a good chicken meal.

My husband and daughter tried Alpaca in White Oak a few days ago and absolutely loved it! He…read morebrought me home a dish and I loved it as well. Although I currently can't speak to the atmosphere, I will say the dish I ordered was amazing. After reviewing the menu though, I will say the price points are incredibly reasonable. All the food is freshly made to order. He brought me back the Pollo Saltado. This dish included tender chicken, sautéed tomatoes and onions; it is served over french fries with a side of white rice. It comes with two different sauces, a green creamy, jalapeño sauce with a kick and a somewhat sweet yellow sauce that when combined is absolutely delicious! My dish was amazing and I can't wait to have it again and try some new ones. The only complaint regarding my order was there was a bone in one of my chicken strips, that thankfully I felt while using my fork. I'm honestly unsure why there was a bone in the chicken because they are strips, not wings or anything. That being said, if it came from a full chicken, I assume there would be bones left in there? I would still order this again but just be careful because it was so delicious!

The workers seemed slightly slower than the other location I have been to. No biggie. Finally, when it was my turn to order, the guy motioned to me and said something (I couldn't understand him, but it was obvious he wanted me to place my order) so I started my order and then he mid-sentence of me saying the order, he looked down at the monitor and said "one minute" as an online order came in and he started to proceed to make THAT order as I stood there waiting to finish my order. I am not thinking the world should revolve around me at all, but I have also learned that in customer service the person in front of you should be the priority. So finally, I placed my order and moved on through to the cashier. She had ZERO smile and ZERO eye contact. I pride myself on being a cheerful, polite person who also tries to give a genuine smile. She seemed to be tired and definitely didn't want to be there. I had to WAIT to pay bc she was turned waiting for something. No explanation like, "I'll be able to get your payment in just a second" or anything of the sort. The food was delicious, nonetheless. The lighting at night inside is a little too much on the cool side. We decided to take our order to go. Will we be back? yes, but to the Spring Forest Road location instead. the staff is friendlier and way faster!
