Alpaca Peruvian Charcoal Chicken: Reviews & Ratings
I love the food at Alpaca! Everything is flavorful and well cooked, and the sides are delicious with lot of options. I especially love the chicken soup and the steak salad, but I would eat literally anything on the menu quite happily. The restaurant is popular, so I tend to order takeout online to avoid having to wait in line and the ambiance of the dining area itself is nothing special (standard fast food restaurant with booths and tables) but the food is worth the wait and a full dining area when we want to eat in the restaurant. Highly recommend!
The food is really good here. Tastes super fresh and they all wear gloves. And you can get as much green sauce as you want. We will definitely be back, but next time order a whole chicken dinner!
Love Al Paca. Great for a quick dinner. I often purchase their family sized meals for meal prep. I love their peruvian style chicken. This restaurant is a staple.
I live and breathe for their Jerk Chicken Friday special. It comes with jerk chicken breast, rice, black beans, and plantains. So delicious. I like to order online and pick up because they can get busy and because the food is cooked right there, it can take a little time. Also grab some of their cilantro lime vinaigrette and thank me later.
Me and my wife came here while we were in town visiting a friend, and we just love the atmosphere of the restaurant. The chicken is amazing, and my wife called the skin meat candy. She usually hates chicken skin, but loves theirs. They have a large stuffed animal Alpaca in the lobby, which is fun to take a picture with it. The decor was nice too. Their Horchata was super tasty. Better than most we've had. You get a 32 ounce cup of it, but there are no refills on the Horchata. But I asked if I could refill my cup with something else at the beverage station, and they said I could. They have a mango soda that I got as a refill, and it was good also.
I think Alpaca is the best Peruvian chicken restaurant I've been to. The chicken is always moist and cooked just right with a nice flavor. Their fries are amazing! And the restaurant is always clean, no matter which location you go to.
