    Whole chicken, fries and salad.  Very big portions
    G L.

    Very big portions and food was very good. The fries were surprisingly excellent and crispy. I would definately be back

    Ceviche
    Sandra J.

    Let me start by saying I love this place food is incredible, drinks are great and service wonderful, ambience is cool . We had a delicious pollo a la brasa with salad , ceviche and 1 pisco sour. The bad news experience today were the bathrooms...they were a MESS!!

    Muy buena experiencia cada vez que visito este lugar, la calidad y sabor de la comida es consistente y el trato como cliente es excelente. Me encanta su sazón original a la cocina peruana. Altamente lo recomiendo.

    Lomo Saltado
    Stephen L.

    While in south Florida I was invited to eat at Pollos y Jaras at the Aventura Mall. The weather that day was mild which created a great opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The ceviche trio, not pictured, offered multitool types of ceviche with all three being tasty and the ceviche mad picante being my favorite. We then shared the Lolo Saltado and full Pollo a la Brasa . The meat was tender and mixed well with the sauce and fries in the lomo. The chicken was well seasoned and left you wanting to keep eating after you are full . The fires of course added a little more flavor and their house sauces were great for the chicken . I am a fan of comida peruana and will definitely eat here again when I am back in south Florida.

    Delicious, fresh, vibey and attentive. Look saldato: a tad salty but the sauce is delicious. Got the ceviche from next door it was delicious and fresh. Not fishy at all The rotisserie chicken was juicy and flavorful. The fries were golden perfect and crispy Drinks were good but was a tad sweet. Service was excellent. 5/5

    Pollo a la Brasa
    Morgan S.

    Absolutely delicious! This is probably my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Florida. I've visited Peru many times and their Pollo a la Brasa tastes just like how they cook em' there. And of course, you gotta have your sauces as well. They provide 6 sauces in a rack they leave in the table. Please don't hesitate to try them if you haven't! When I come here with family, we usually order 'Pollo a la Brasa' with french fries and salad. I usually like to order Chicha Morada or Inca Kola for my beverage. The staff is always polite and cordial to me. And I love the decor they have inside the restaurant.

    Causa Crocante
    Richard A.

    We stopped by Pollos y Jarras while shopping at Aventura Mall and were pleasantly surprised. The food: We started with the causa crocante and it was insanely good. A creative twist on the traditional causa and packed with flavor. We also ordered "El Mostró de Miami," which gives you a taste of their rotisserie chicken, arroz chaufa, and fries. The chicken was juicy, well cooked, and flavorful. The chaufa was also excellent. The fries, however, were disappointing, clearly from a frozen bag and not worth eating. For what they charge, you would think they would make fresh homemade fries. The sauces that came with the meal were not impressive either. The vibe and service: We sat outside on the patio which was nice and made for a relaxed meal during a shopping break. Service was quick and friendly, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Bottom line: Worth returning for the chicken, chaufa, and that amazing causa crocante. Next time I will skip the fries and the sauces and stick with what they do best.

    I am Peruvian, very proud of our internationally recognized cuisine, and I always like to support Peruvian restaurants when they truly deserve it. Nowadays, many restaurants sell a so-called "culinary experience," which should include not only the food, but also the way customers are treated -- regardless of whether they dine in or order takeout. I have been to this restaurant many times, as well as to Cvi.che 105 at all of its locations, and I have always had good experiences, specially good food. Unfortunately, this time the experience at this location was extremely disappointing. Because of its location on our way home, we placed an online order for pickup. When I arrived, I politely asked if they could include the free appetizer they normally serve to customers who dine in called "aguadito". The manager immediately refused, saying it was only for dine-in customers. Even after I pointed out that I was paying the same price and leaving the same tip, I was told that management had decided not to include it for online orders. This response was so ridiculous and absurd. At almost every Peruvian restaurant, when you order takeout, they include "canchita" without even being asked. In this case, I asked for it and was still denied. Honestly, it felt like at the pickup counter they wouldn't even offer a glass of water if you asked, despite the fact that I was purchasing two rotisserie chickens with fries at a price higher than many competing restaurants. And believe me, this is not about the small appetizer itself. It is the response that makes you upset. That appetizer, which is served to every dine-in table, probably does not even cost a dollar, yet they choose to say no to a loyal customer who is spending his money at their restaurant. That kind of attitude is what leaves you feeling frustrated, angry and unappreciated. It is clear that Chipoco's managers do not understand that the "experience" should apply to all customers, not just those sitting at a table. Or perhaps they fail to realize that there are many excellent Peruvian restaurants nearby, offering both great food and proper customer service. Good luck to Chipoco at the Sawgrass location. I hope management changes its attitude, because this is exactly how restaurants lose loyal customers. As for me, I will not be choosing this restaurant again for any future "experience."

    Copy of bill with the rudest server Brian F

    Copy of the bill of the rudest server we have encountered coming to this restaurant for years since they opened up as a Aventura Local's patrons, Brian doesn't represents what real hospitality restaurant industry is, he was extremely unpleasant, unprofessional, aggressive and not polite; always rushing, we did not enjoy our meal in a very special occasion, as women's international day, march 8th, we felt so uncomfortable that we even skipped dessert to go somewhere else at the mall to have our customary happy ending sweet treat, we just wanted to get out of there, we come here very often once a week minimum and we have had great times , food always on point, drinks, greeters, but this man was awful, as a server, such a shame with this horrible service experience. I will continue to go back to eat but avoid Brian as server.

    Chicken
    Laima P.

    The best Peruvian chicken in the area! There are a lot of Peruvian restaurants in south FL but this one stands out! Chicken is the best - juicy, flavorful...yam! Sweet potatoes were excellent! Ambience is nice but gets noisy as tables are close to each other . The place gets full very fast but to our luck we didn't need to wait... It was a quick stop to try this spot and we definitely will be back to try more food ....cannot wait!

    Sister restaurant to ceviche 105 which is next-door. They have more Peruvian cuisine here and slightly different menu. The food here was tasty, but the portions are small. Don't plan on sharing too much. The flavors were very good and the cauza was the winner. The Tito sauce was excellent. The chicken was just OK. I am used to Peruvian, roasted chicken, being extremely juicy and flavorful and truthfully I don't think this was any better than Pollo tropical, therefore I give them three stars as their main focus should be on their chicken as in the name of the restaurant. Service was excellent. Location is at the Aventura mall so pricing was not bad for the mall. Probably would not go back with the number of proving restaurants around and also next-door ceviche 105 is superior.

    It's been almost a year that I don't visit this location. I came in with my dad and my nephews to grab a quick lunch before dropping them off at the airport. It was not too busy and we were sat fairly quickly. We were a party of 6 and our server took care of us fast. I order their tropical sangria that had lychee and I enjoyed a lot. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I also ordered the anticuchos de corazón de res and they were delicious. Overall I will come back again.

    I recently tried Apollo y Jaras for the first time, which is the sibling restaurant to Ceviche 105. While both share similar menus, this one focuses more on Peruvian BBQ, whereas Ceviche 105 specializes in seafood. We ordered the Lomo Saltado, Pollo Saltado, and Milanesa de Abuela, but unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the meal overall. To start, we were served a complimentary soup, but it was too salty for my taste. The Lomo Saltado, which featured both steak and chicken, was also quite salty, though it had good flavor. The Pollo Saltado was similar--flavorful but on the salty side. The Milanesa de Abuela was lacking in seasoning, and the Huancaina pasta was so overwhelmingly cheesy that it overshadowed the other flavors. The Pisco Sour, however, was a highlight! It was light, refreshing, and definitely enjoyable. As for the service, it was decent--nothing special, but it got the job done. the ambience was nice, it was more laid back than Ceviche. The ceiling was adorned with vibrant Peruvian colors, featuring an array of blow-up balloons that beautifully represented the essence of Peru. Overall, while I had high hopes for Apollo y Jaras, I wasn't completely blown away. The flavors just didn't balance out the way I expected.

The service is incredible, the chef and other staff were quick and very attentive, making sure each dish is crafted to perfection. It's a very casual spot but the presentation of the food is up to par with some of the Michelin star restaurants you can find in the city. I do want to note that each group is served one at a time. We unfortunately showed up right after a group of 6 with another party of 2 already at the counter. The chef takes the order of the party that comes in first. The group of two ordered almost everything on the menu and the group of six put in multiple things meaning we were not able to put in an order until 6:30. Though this does make sense since there were only 3 people preparing the food, it was unfortunate since we were hungry and waited an hour to put in our first order. That being said, the food was incredible. We got the fish ceviche, spicy. tuna causa, and the cilantro lime rice. If you like spicy, get the ceviche spicy! It was one of the best ceviches I've ever had. The causa was very well balanced and the cilantro rice had a good amount of seafood in it. Everything was so beautifully prepared we almost didn't want to eat it! Overall, the food and service is amazing and I think the food is fairly priced for the amount of time and attention is put into each dish. But do be warned about the waiting time.
