    Didn't get a chance to photograph all the food I got because we were too hungry! I went with the quarter chicken dark meat, white rice and beans, add tostones. The food is delicious and well seasoned, portions are smaller than I would have liked for the price. Also have to pick rice and beans as two separate sides forces your hand to add on more food. My food was premade so I got it immediately but the tostones came out later, fresh and crispy. For dessert I ordered to the Alfajores, they quite literally melt in your mouth, shortbread like texture with a caramel in the middle. And a Colombian soda. About $30 for one meal and dessert, again a little high in cost and I had no leftovers. Cute decorations and parking in plentiful. Located in Mini City.

    I am visiting a friend in the area. We stopped to get a quick bite to eat. It's located in a shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking available. This is the first time I try it. I loved the Hispanic style grilled chicken. The portions are generous. It is a fast food setting with the benefit of a healthier meal. I found the pricing to be decent. The order taker was polite but it was hard to hear him over the glass wall and very loud music. I had to ask him to repeat himself at least 3 times. They do not offer recyclable utensils. I was a little weary about that because they are left out in the open where everyone grabbing them is touching the others. We ate in and enjoyed the food overall but could not have a conversation with the music so loud.

    Another great experience at Alpaca. We went in late on a Friday - 8pm - and it was B U S Y. Huge shout out to the team working this evening, they were moving. Bless them, I don't think they stopped for a moment. The line was long but they were getting through people quick. We enjoyed our jerk chicken and 1/2 dark chicken.

    Lomo Saltado -terrible serving size compared to the last time we got it!! And they didn't give us our sides!
    Britanny C.

    This is the most ridiculous serving size!!!! We have ordered this dish before so knew what to expect and this is nothing like it! This is barely half of what we got last time and they forgot our sides!! This has happened before at this location but we let it slide. We will no longer be ordering from this location. Very frustrating

    This felt like a dive fast food restaurant that needs a remodel. The Lomo Saltado looked tasty but psych...there was absolutely no flavor. With very little sauce, the fries should have been crispy but there weren't but a handful. They needed another dip in the oil. The steak was I don't how to describe it but gummy. The tomatoes had absolutely no flavor whatsoever to lift the dish even a little. Service is chaotic just like a poorly run fast food restaurant. Our experience didn't match the reviews. Given the food lacked flavor not likely to try again.

    I absolutely love Peruvian chicken and plantains! I stopped by this place near the airport. Service was pretty good, the guy that took my order etc, cashier not so good. It was cute atmosphere w alpacas (duh) but I wouldn't go again.... Chicken was dry, nothing super delicious when I was starving after a 5.5hr flight

    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!

    Half chicken and fries
    Jeff F.

    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.

    I order soup and it spilled all over the bag.

    I order soup and as you see it was all over the plastic bag. Also order yellow sauce and never received it.

    It's a fast-delivery place for roasted chicken, a few other things, and sides. They do their limited menu very well and it is economical.

I am Peruvian and I've eaten at the Mi Peru restaurant in Durham a few times and I always liked it, it was too far for me though. Once I found out another Mi Peru opened closer I had to try it. For starters the strip mall where it is located is not the nicest location. The restaurant itself feels a bit old and not very clean. I was about to leave but I decided to take a chance. We ordered a few dishes to share: ceviche, chicharron de pescado, arroz chaufa, aji de gallina and seco de res. And even desserts : Alfajor, tres leches and crema volteada. Food overall wasn't bad, I actually liked it, it wasn't amazing but not bad at all. The service on the other hand was terrible, there was a young guy and a young girl who had no idea how to wait tables, we were missing silverware, we had to ask for plates and glasses, .... That duo was a mess. They seemed too occupied flirting with each other than caring for the 2 tables that were occupied. Anyhow, when we got to bill I noticed that an 18% tip was mandatory !! 18 % for the terrible service I had received, that was really unfair. I paid over $180 for 5 adults and 2 kids and terrible service. Up until that point I was determined to leave and just give this place 3 stars . But then I decided to go to the bathroom and on my way to the bathroom there was a cockroach in the hallway, that was disgusting so I moved quickly into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom under the sink there was another cockroach !!! I almost threw up wondering how many cockroaches are probably running around in the kitchen!!! It is sad for me to post this as a Peruvian but I care more about the safety of the people and the reputation of the Peruvian food. My advice to the owners of Mi Peru.( the original ) which I respect. Don't destroy your brand, close the restaurant and fumigate it completely, then remodel it, clean it, hire better waiters and then reopen. Or pick a nicer location if possible. I am not coming back and will advise everyone I know not to go either.

I ordered passion fruit juice and it took me to my childhood, when my mom would make fresh, pure juice, no sugar added! The food portions were perfect for the price, I even had enough to take home for my dinner. The ceviche leche de trigre was also on point, very similar to what I have tried in my trips to Peru. Now, the location almost made me turn around. There was glass and trash on the streets and it didn't seem like a safe place. Luckily, management informed us that they are going to move due to this. Hopefully they will continue having great food, good ambiance, and a better location.

    I hope you like to read because ai have a lot to say about Gustitos! So a friend of mine told me…read moreabout this new Peruvian restaurant in the area so I definitely had to try it ! I came with my family ( 4 of us ) this weekend. First of all the location and the parking lot area are not appealing at all, looks a bit sketchy from the outside. On the inside it is clean but it is a bit confusing, it seems that there is a Peruvian restaurant during the day and a separate business as a Dominican club at night so there are different signs on the outside and the vibe inside is a bit off. So we could probably say that the location is a hole in the wall. Anyhow, sometimes you hear that the best food is served in a hole in the wall, we'll that is true here!!! I have to say that they probably have the best Peruvian food in the area!!! The Mostrito Parrillero has everything you could expect ( anticucho, pancita, corazón de pollo, molleja, chicken, potatoes and a great sauce ). Texture and flavor is the best I've had in a long time. Then I ordered the Trio ( 3 dishes in one). The ceviche was well prepared, the fish chicharrón with the "acebichado" sauce was delicious, sadly the Chaufa was not so good in my opinion, I could find better.The fettuccini a la huancaina was also tasty and well prepared. The Lomo Saltado that came with it was very good, the onions and tomatoes where perfectly cooked, onions were cooked but still crunchy. Sauce was great, not too salty as you find in other places, just right. The meat was just ok in my opinion, meat would be a bit softer ( lomo should be a softer cut ). Then I got drinks, the passion fruit juice was delicious, the chicha was just ok, needed some lemon and it was not cold. Service was overall good. They kept refilling our complimentary "cancha" appetizer and giving us "leche de tigre " to taste. A couple of things I didn't like is that they don't offer drinks by pitcher only by the glass and at $5 each adds up pretty fast so they should offer that as an option. Also something that I didn't like is that they automatically charge you a 15% gratuity no matter how big is your party. I don't agree with that because tips should be dictated by the service and not an automatic add on. Where is their incentive to improve the service ?! My in-laws went the same day and they also complained about that. When it comes to pricing I believe it was a bit expensive. Even though the food is very good you are being charged same as in restaurants that are located in a nice area and have amazing service. I don't think the prices match the overall experience. Too bad we didn't have any room for desserts, I definitely want to try their picarones which according to them are made from scratch so yes I will definitely be back. I may probably just order food to go next time though as I didn't enjoy the location and I don't agree with their tipping policy. Finally, I was told by a friend that their "alfajores " were not good, kinda like the hard ones that you find at Alpaca and not the soft and crumbly ones you can get in Peru. Maybe they need to find a different supplier for those. Anyhow I am definitely coming back and look forward to try all the other dishes they have !!!

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.

The store was very cute, with a large stuffed llama near the check-out desk. The restaurant is chipotle-style. You choose a cut and amount of roast chicken. and then go down the line and pick out your sides and other goodies. For the price, you get a good portion. I got a half-chicken meal, dark meat only, with beans and French fries, as well as a chicha morada beverage. Their sauces are off to the side and self-serve, which I love. The roast chicken was delicious, so well-seasoned and tender. Honestly I did not need the sauce to eat it. The beans were smoky and I appreciate the fact that it was portioned separately to prevent the fries from getting soggy. The fries were not that fresh, and they had the skins on. I would not get these next time. The sauces were good but not mind-blowing. The green sauce in particular was sharp and salty but not flavorful. The orange sauce tasted mostly like mayo. However, again, since all the food was well-seasoned, I didn't really need the sauces. Alpaca is a great, quick, and healthy option for tasty Peruvian food. I would definitely come back for my quick fix, but I would probably skip the sauces.
