Alpaca Peruvian Chicken in Chapel Hill is my go-to. The food is always good, and the staff is…read morefriendly and helpful. The environment is always clean. The location is convenient as it is just down from Whole Foods, on Elliott, and in the little strip across from Cook Out. My friends from Florida always want to go to ALPACA as soon as they arrive in Chapel Hill. I eat at Alpaca several times a month, and sometimes twice a week. The majority of the student population has left for the summer, and that impacts local businesses. Let's support ALPACA and Chapel Hill businesses. Joseph is the GM. He is welcoming and goes out of his way to help.

I am a fan of most rotisserie chicken joints, and certainly Alpaca is one of the best. I arrived…read morearound 7 PM on a Thursday night, so this was about two hours before closing. I ordered a half chicken combo with two sides. Actually, I placed my order with one girl. Then the shift leader took over and I had to provide her with my order also. For my sides, I asked for black beans and tostones. And it was my mistake because I wanted maduros, the sweet plantains. When they brough the tostones (green plantains) to me, I explained I was wrong and I wanted the maduros. The woman seemed clueless, apparently she did not understand English. Five minutes later, another employee comes over and I explained the situation again. She seemed to understand and took the tostones away...except she never came back with the maduros. And I waited at least another five minutes. I'd already finished my chicken and beans, and with a 35 minute drive ahead of me, I just didn't have the patience to wait any longer. So basically I got robbed on a side dish. I had admitted my mistaketo the staff, but it still wasn't fixed. Also, both iced tea jugs were practically empty, there was barely enough to fill a regular cup between both. Also, all three garbage pails were completely full, but it looked like one of the staff members was taking care of those as I was leaving. Of course, the chicken tasted really good and the honey mustard dressing was wonderful. I liked the flavor of the black beans as well. But I feel like for $21, this location could have given better customer service.

The format is fast-casual, so you go to the counter, place your order, take what's ready and the rest will be delivered to your 'number' while you wait at your table. The Extra Green Sauce is awesome. The inside is new, clean, & bright. They do catering: I recommend being an *office hero* & getting this brought-in for lunch sometime. I wonder if/when we might see this concept expand to other states :)

"Wonderful roasted chicken near Durham South Square"…read more I've loved the other two Durham Alpaca locations for years, but somehow never noticed this one, tucked back beside Chuck E Cheeses at what I think used to be a Boston Market building many years ago (and across the street from Sam's Club & Target). I was very impressed at the large outdoor seating area with the string lights-- looked very modern and inviting. I ordered takeout online, so I was only inside for a moment, but the restaurant was very new and clean. They had the typical area on the side for condiments, including their famous spicy green and milder yellow sauces (and little cups with lids for takeout). I ordered a quarter-chicken dark (always delicious) along with fries and rice & beans. The rice & beans had a 50 cent extra fee. My wife got the quarter chicken dark with fries and maduros (fried sweet plantains). The food was ready when I arrived, and I was handed it as soon as I said my name upon arrival. It was packaged in nice plastic containers-- not so great environmentally but they did keep the heat in and maintained the food well on the drive home. Everything was delicious as always. The chicken is always SUPER moist and tender and scrumptious, made even more amazing with some green & yellow sauce. Their fries are moist and tasty, and the rice & beans had a good flavor. My wife was happy with her food too. The price is really good-- right around $10 for the quarter dark meal deals, before tax and tip. And it's a good portion size overall, too... enough that you're not hungry after, but it's not "over the top" huge. I've always been a big Alpaca fan, and I'm glad to see them spreading to other locations with the same excellent food and fast/ easy service. One tip-- if you order takeout, use their website, not commercial ones like Uber Eats or Grubhub, so you can save a little money. I'm sure I'll be back-- loved the look of that outdoor area!

I went with the Peruvian fried rice, yuca, tostones, maduros, two chicken orders 1/4 and 1/2 chicken, and frijoles. The only small mishap was that I was given two 1/4 chickens when they were supposed to do one 1/4 and one 1/2. Since I didn't notice until after the fact, I had to make the trip back. The staff handled it very professionally, apologized for the mistake, and happily replaced it with a brand-new half chicken without any hassle. Everyone was friendly and made things right. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but great customer service is how a business responds, and Alpaca did exactly that. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well-priced, whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout. We almost always order the ¼ white meat chicken and pair it with two sides: usually white rice, maduros (plantains), or green beans. It's simple, but it's done extremely well every time. It also feels like we aren't eating super unhealthy when we pick Alpaca. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the portions are generous for the price. What really completes the meal, though, are the sauces. Make sure to get both the yellow sauce and the green (spicy) sauce. They take everything to another level. Affordable, consistent, and easy to keep coming back to. We're loyal customers for a reason.

I've driven past Alpaca countless times and finally decided to see what all the hype was about…read more We ordered two quarter pound white chicken meals with slaw, salad, green & yellow sauces, plus garlic mojo dressing through Uber Eats. The chicken is the star here. Smoky from the charcoal grill, incredibly juicy, and seasoned so well that it honestly doesn't need anything extra... but then you add the sauces and it's game over. The green sauce brings a bright, herby kick while the yellow sauce adds a creamy tanginess that somehow makes everything taste even better. Pro tip: Don't skip the sauces. Better yet, order extra because you'll immediately regret not having more. This was my first order from the Apex location, but it definitely won't be my last. One of those rare places that actually lives up to the hype.

I had the half chicken, I had the yellow sauce for dipping. The green sauce is just a bit hotter and I think doesn't go as well. I always get the half chicken, corn and green beans.

My wife always orders the Pollo Saltado. A mixture of chicken and vegetables over a load of French fries. She too will have left overs for tomorrow. She really prefers the warmer green sauce.
