    Sad and disappointed is all we have to say. We were so excited to try this place from all the hype online. We got in and ordered and as we were waiting we looked down and saw a roach walking towards us. I just couldn't stomach staying not knowing if there were more in the kitchen. My husband went up to cancel the order and the manager didn't say anything when my husband told them why. I'm sure the chicken is as good as everyone says it is but for now I'd skip out on it.

    Decided to raise my rating because the chicken always delivers, juicy, flavorful, and never dry. Yes, they've made a mistake before, but it only happened once, thankfully. Even during their busy lunch rush, they manage to serve customers in under 10 minutes, which is impressive. The only downside is the limited parking. There's a nearby grocery store parking lot you can use, but it's at your own risk. Also, if you walk in while they're grilling more chicken, be prepared to smell like smoke for the rest of the day! The dining area is small and casual. You order near the entrance where you can watch the chicken cooking, and you pick up your food at the opposite end, which is also the takeout area.

    It's been about 14yrs since last stopping through and grabbing a whole chicken. Literally was heading away from town when ai thought of dinner plans and got off the freeway and doubled back. Smoked Pollo Rotisserie Burritos it is. From the moment ai pulled up, the aroma filled the air (literally taking me back to familiar times) outside and ai was very optimistic and thoroughly encouraged that quality and flavor remained the same. Was making Chicken Burritos, Black Beans and Rice, Sautéed Peppers and Onions with this smoky flavorful chicken. Cannot express enough how delicious my dinner turned out last night and ran it back (for seconds) for lunch today. Plenty of smoke flavor. Tender succulent well cooked and worth the U-Turn. Use to come by somewhat regularly back in the day. Surely will resume my frequency from this point on. Gracias Pollo Ala Brasa and Staff for a great meal experience. You hands down have the Best Rotisserie Chickens EVER!

    The roasted chicken at this place is amazing. The chicken is very tender and juicy and the aji sauce is very flavorful and juicy. I ordered the half chicken with fries and salad. The salad had beets that was good. The fries were also good. My friend got rice and commented that it was a bit dry. They also have antitcucho (beef hearts) as an item. The staff was very nice and helpful in cleaning the tables and getting out order, food and amenities. The space is a bit small with 5 tables max and parking is very limited. But overall great spot to get some Peruvian chicken.

    Sundays best! A quote I often heard growing up, so when it's Sunday and you need to eat after your activities, this is a pillar of Sundays best! The first spot that contains not only the best grilled chicken but with side orders and the prices continue to remain the same! The ambiance is quiet and humble, with a delicate touch of woodsy feel. Love getting here and spanking some wood and saying "this is some good wood to cook with ". The parking is limited but I always park in front of the wood and you're good . I paid a total of $35 for everything in the picture and it was the best! Come down and try the Sundays best chicken. The food speaks for it self. The customer service is great! 10/10. Forgetboutit, the other chicken spot and try this!

    Fire roasted chicken? Yes Affordable price? Yes Small business? Yes Amazing taste? Yes Pleasant service? Yes Coming back? Yes

    It was just OK. Rice was extremely bland and you're expected to cut through the steak with plastic utensils...

I ordered Pina colada and it's was on the rocks as well the margaritas. Dinner was delicious as usual. Other people arrived for dinner And stayed for the dance without the bracelet which meant no cover charge for them. Cumbias were minimal and the Disco was non existent. I asked the DJ exclusively to put the disco music on, He put on 3 songs no one's ever heard of and continued with merengue and salsa. The place was SUPER hot no Air conditioner at all not even fans. It's an older crowd which is a plus plus with no drama. It's an ok place to get dinner and a night out. 80s music must be updated and don't call it cumbias because it's mostly merengue and salsa which is played on Fridays supposedly. Waitresses are tired so not very friendly and take a while to come back to the table, Will return as the food is good but will bring my own fan hopefully the blender is working and will NOT expect good Disco music.

Thinking…read morethat location didn't matter, we decided to try another location from the same restaurant chain. Unfortunately, this experience was very different from what we were accustomed to. It took maybe about 5 minutes to get seated, which was reasonable, and the waitress was friendly and welcoming. We already knew what we wanted, so ordering was quick and easy. We both ordered the Lomo Saltado, which comes with a cilantro-based chicken soup called Aguadito de Pollo. This is where we noticed the flavor profile at this location was not the same at all. The soup was salty and almost lukewarm. We were hungry, so we finished it, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable. As for the Lomo Saltado, it lacked flavor overall. It felt like the only flavor on the plate came from the meat being charred over the flame, but even then, both the meat and the dish itself tasted bland. About the only thing that had a consistent taste was the canned Inca Kola. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back to this location and will stick to going to the location in Lawndale instead.

I have tried to come here a few times prior but it was closed during business hours which probably was a red flag to begin with. I came here with a friend and it took awhile for them to even seat us. We got complimentary salsa n chips which was nice. We waited so long to get our order in. It felt like around 15-20 min before we were approached even though there was maybe one other set of patrons. Once we got our order in, it took awhile to get the food too. We ordered the lomo saltado and the beef chaufa. The beef chaufa was decent. The lomo saltado was okay. The beef was kinda chewy and not tender. There wasn't enough juices from the sauce for the rice provided to absorb. The fries themselves were already kinda getting soggy when I dug in. Overall disappointed that this place wasn't better than El pollo inka. The music/tv was loud and hard to talk at times as it was just blasting while everyone was trying to have a conversation while eating. Kind of a meh atmosphere.

At El Pollo Inka, we were happy to learn that any of the saltado entrées can be ordered in a healthier version with green beans instead of fries.

We also enjoyed the complimentary soup that came with our meal. I can't handle spicy food, but everyone else loved the green sauce. Portions were generous and very satisfying. We always order chicha morada, the purple corn drink, and were happy to find out it comes with free refills here. Service was fast and friendly, and we'll definitely be back, especially since we're moving to the South Bay area soon.
