The friendly employee checked if I ordered from the kiosk, and I did. After 5 minutes or so, my order was ready and I took it to go. The stir-fried beef was really salty (think it's the marination) even when you eat the beef with the white rice or fries to try to dilute how much sauce there is. The tomato and onions were great. Tons of fries (that I can't finish it) and a small container of white rice. Have to come back and try the cerviche and fried rice next time.

Finally made it to a Queens staple, Peking BBQ!…read more They certainly have a following and the place was definitely full of folks waiting for and enjoying the food. It surprisingly took longer than I expected for my à la carte order of ribs, almost 25 mins which was strange considering they were right in front of me in the warmer. The organization of the orders didn't seem to be efficient to be honest. If the ribs were good though, after the wait, I'd be all good to be honest. Overall the ribs were really dry and overcooked, perhaps from being in the warmer a little bit longer than expected. They were also really skinny ribs with not a whole lot of meat. Perhaps I'll have to give them another try sometime given the number of folks that were there.

This place gets a solid 3 stars and here's why:…read more 1. If you have a sensitive stomach ... don't come here 2. If the owner speaks to your own mother in a very demeaning and condescending way ... don't come here Now Here's a little back story. We came here because we are very familiar with 46st Sunnyside having various Peruvian restaurants and we enjoy trying new places. Although the food was good ... majority of it; as I feel the papa à la huancaina either had too many condiments or expired dairy products. Overall it was okay but the owner speaking to my mother in such a disgusting way in the end really had me flabbergasted. And I didn't get involve in their conversation as I had my baby with us. But best believe I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. Also I kind of figured you guys "owned the place" as while you sat down and ate your meal you were observing and listening to everything my parents and I were saying. The place was practically empty when we walked in; aside from the 3 people at the bar and a family sitting all the way in the back also with their baby. Our waiters were nice! I'm not going to take away from their attentiveness and way they spoke to us. Would I give it another chance? Never in my life. Now this happened on the first Saturday on this month and I still have a bad taste in my mouth and my stomach still aches ...

We stuck with the classics & got the chaufa with chicken & jalea to share. Both were great but I personally liked the chaufa more. However, it was a bit dry so I used the sauce that accompanied the jalea with it. My friend also had two pisco sours as well which were both great- I personally liked mine (the mora) more. The ambience was also nice & our waitress was quite personable. I would be back :).

I think this might've been some of the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. The pork fried rice was solid with decent chunks of pork. The salad was delicious, something about a simple iceberg salad and that tomato mayo dressing does something to me. The green sauce was phenomenal, I can drink that stuff. It's zesty, fresh, and perfect to pair with the chicken. My total was about $13. I love the meal so much I'm thinking about getting it again today. Overall, I'd highly recommend Caravan Chicken.

A lot of Astorians say that they're the best Peruvian rotisserie chicken in the area & "Chino Latino" restaurant (more than the other one further down Broadway). I think the food here is better than it's viral sister restaurant in Sunnyside. And cleaner, brighter, & with more of a neighborhood feel. An young man was just finishing an early dinner with his grandmother, helping her leave the restaurant with her cane. Other small families came in for dinner also. The other place's dining area seems like a hallway rest stop for workers, couples & their late lunch. I ordered the around $22 1/4 Chicken (dark meat) & 3 Spare Ribs w/ white rice. Be prepared to wait a bit - they are THAT busy. I got there around 5:30pm on a weekday & there were already 5-7 people in the front area waiting for their orders. The Green Sauce! is good & Much better than their sister restaurant's. Balanced between savory with a bit of spice & herb. I enjoyed the spare ribs more than the chicken. They were super tender & a medium flavor. Would actually appreciate a little bit more marinade, but it was decent. The chicken was just okay, needed more marinating time/flavor. Rice was long grain & mostly moist & cooked well. Never a fan of place's fried rice - always lacking flavor & not moist.

I'm a sucker for the lo mein and mac and cheese, which I absolutely drown in their signature green hot sauce, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of the sides. The yellow rice, mashed potatoes--whatever you get is probably gonna be good. It makes a great lunch or dinner spot, and one thing I appreciate is that whether you pop in and get it fresh or order delivery, the food still shows up hot and ready to tear into. This is one of those places that's been holding down the neighborhood for years, and after one visit it's pretty easy to see why.

Notes- Most dishes are a bit more, so see the photos, but not by much…read more I have been to this Ecuadorian restaurant twice at this point, though last time was long enough ago that even with my usual vast food memory, I barely remember what we ordered outside of it all tasting good. The most recent time was a few days ago, and it was excellent. The staff is nice, and the portions are generous for the price point, with two of us taking home leftovers out of the four people dining. To drink, three of us had shakes, or rather batidos, with the prices being $7 en agua or $8 en leche. I went with Lulo, which is listed as Solanum online, but really refers to naranjilla. As per the name, it means a little orange, but it is closer in flavor to a mix between pineapple and lime. Others had Maracuyá/passion fruit and Guanábana/soursop, and everyone enjoyed their drinks. They gave us some chulpi/corn nuts on the table, along with some aji verde, a lightly spicy green sauce which went with some of our heavier appetizers. Our heavier appetizer was two orders of the Bolón Mixto for $10. Bolon refers to a green plantain ball, and they offer the traditional cheese version along with chicharron, or with camarones/shrimp. The mixto combines the cheese and pork, and it was delicious, but very filling. One was more than enough, but we still enjoyed it, with the aji verde helping to reduce the overall richness. There was also the $6.50 Yapingachos/Llapingacho, or pan-fried potato cakes. These came two to an order and came topped with an onion and tomato salsa, along with some lettuce below. The potato cakes were a lot lighter by comparison to our other appetizer, but still flavorful. I would recommend them, as with other people who go here. Our smaller main dish was the Ceviche de Pescado for $17.00, or fish cocktail served either with rice or, as our choice, chifles or fried plantain chips. This was also available as a mixto, but I didn't order it as I have a pulpo allergy. There was a large amount of fresh fish inside for the price, making it very worth it. As with most ceviches, there was some sourness from the lime along with some fresh chopped herbs, onions, and tomatoes. It lacked a bit of heat I usually prefer, but I still liked it, and the whole thing was devoured quickly. Our other main dishes were all $19. My favorite of the bunch was the Seco de Chivo, with goat stew slowly cooked in home-made sofrito and beer, served with yellow rice, sliced avocado, and sweet plantain. The goat was cooked down until it was extremely tender, but still had a bit of chew, and there was a good amount of meat, even with the amount of bones in there. The broth was savory and mildly sweet, being warming, comforting, and perfect on top of the rice. This was excellent. For most of the other group, their favorite was the Chaulafan, a mix of stir-fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp, egg, and veggies served with sweet plantain and avocado. The rice had a nice texture with some lightly crispy portions and was mildly salty. The meat inside was mostly very tender, regardless of what meat it was. This was excellent as well. The remaining dish was the Sango de Camarones, listed as a tropical dish and a purée of green plantains, slowly cooked in peanut sauce and shrimp, and topped with citrus red onions served with yellow rice and sliced avocado. The dish had a unique, almost gruel-like texture, which was a bit off-putting to some, but others like myself liked it. The shrimp inside was tender, and the dish felt a bit richer than the other mains. This was probably our least favorite main, but it was still good. We were quite full, but got some $7 Flan for dessert, which is in-house made. It wasn't overly sweet, which is my preference, and the texture was semi-soft. It was a good version, and the portion was large for the price. We liked this as well. Not many complaints here. Friendly service and good, reasonably priced food.
