After going to the Jurassic Quest experience we found this restaurant on YELP. Located in a large strip mall it has pictures of some of their more traditional dishes on the front windows. There is ample booth and table seating in a warm environment. There wasn't much artwork or colorful displays like most Latino restaurants. You can order at the counter or at your table. We were seated quickly with no wait. Waitress seemed a little short at the beginning but had a much better attitude towards the end. We started off with a tropical Maracuya drink and a Peruvian stable the Chicha Morada. Both were great the chicha was a different type of taste, not fruity or tart. I liked it, it is made from purple corn, apples, pineapple, cinnamon and star anise. My wife got a typical Colombian dish called "Bandeja Paise". This dish is very filling as it has steak, sausage, pork rind, rice, avocado, sweet plantain, arepa, and a fried egg on top! Everything on it was cooked to perfection! I got the Chicken in mushroom sauce, comes with salad, white rice and sweet plantains. This would have been a perfect dish were it not for the fact that there was hardly any mushrooms in the dish. That was my only complaint. We will definitely be back to try more dishes especially their rotisserie chicken! read more

This is a little restaurant big favors of a big $$$$$ restaurant. The food is amazing and they give you so much of it. Super sweet lady the sever was. We ate so fast, I forgot to take pictures. So good. read more

Love Mochica because of its menu and serving size. There are better Peruvian restaurant out there I have to say. I just get half chicken with beans if I am nearby. Some other place they cook the rice with chicken stock so it has more flavor but rice here is kinda plain. Dipping sauce is kinda bland and watery too. That's why I said there are better Peruvian restaurant our there. Ceviche is ok. Noodles and other stir fry is good though, kinda oily but they are well seasoned. Maybe I will get those next time instead of chicken read more

Ordered from this place on DoorDash took them over an hour to make the food ima tossing it up to the place was probably busy nevertheless they didn't properly secure/package my order for delivery they just threw the sides on top of the bag for the dasher to bring to me he literally brought me my sides in his hands I will have to trash it for safety reasons anything could of been done to my food during transportation also the driver was a man who went by the name crystal I'm considering trashing the whole order or head back up there to get a refund bs cost me 40+ dollars for food plus tip for the driver highly upset do better read more

Fairly priced and great tasting Peruvian(and now Colombian) food. My partner and I came right when they opened so they were still getting things prepped. I loved their chichamorrado drink. I ordered the 1/4 dark meat chicken with black beans and yuca frita(for additional cost) and my partner got the bandeja paisa. The chicharron was so crispy and the carne was smoky and flavorful on the bandeja paisa. The rotisserie chicken was smoky and moist and the sauces paired well with them. My only complaint is the black beans were too watery, I had to fish them out with a fork in their "soup." The staff was friendly and nice. The food came out in a timely manner. A good, quick, inexpensive place for lunch. I will have to try their ceviche in salsa amarilla and arroz chaufa next time. read more

Mochica - Pechuga en Crema de Champiñones - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

The food was good. I had the chicken, edamame, and plantains. The chicken was juicy & flavorful & the sauce provided with it was tasty, the edamame was slightly undercooked but still edible & the plantains were cooked perfectly. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the poor customer service. It took 7 minutes for someone to take my order & I was literally the only customer standing in line. Multiple employees walked by me without even acknowledging me standing at the register. For context there was a total of 6 customers in the entire restaurant (family of 4 dining in & me and my baby) so not busy at all. Let's be kind & courteous to one another, at the very least acknowledge your customers as human beings. read more

Mochica - 1/2 Chicken With 2 Sides - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

A pleasant surprise in Concord. I didn't expect to find a Peruvian restaurant when I ran a few errands but when I saw it I had to give it a try. When I walked in you could smell the great rotisserie chicken. The menu options are not impressive yet it has everything you would want for lunch or dinner. The location of the restaurant is also not all that impressive but it is convenient for those who live in the area - easy in and out. The restaurant is more of a fast-food type restaurant. Not very impressive as it is not decorated in any manner; rather plain. I wasn't planning on staying so it was ok for me. You place your order then sit or wait for taking out. I had the chicken and I was not disappointed. It is a nice replacement for Viva Chicken. I really enjoyed it and would recommend you try it. read more

Wow what wonderful Peruvian flavor in chicken ala brasa! Got a whole chicken w 4 sides and a 2 L bottle of Incan drink for $18.69. It was all delivered in2 platters w cutup chicken ready to savour, tostadas, maduro, black beans and rice. Very filling. Use your fingers, nobody minds. This is not a fancy place but it is good authentic food. Come check it out and say muy sabrosa! read more

The WORSE Peruvian food I have EVER eaten. The 2 rotisserie chicken was NOT cooked and presented from the rotisserie oven. It was old cooked, cut up and stored. Nothing juicy and moist about it. The 2 ceviche were made with excessive MGS and salt as to eliminate the fact that they used little lemon. I swear my family and I were in disgust and refused to eat the rest. I was charge almost $100 and was robbed from a good cuisine experience. My husband is Peruvian and I am a very good Peruvian cook. My family love going to restaurants and enjoy the experience of other Latin cultural cuisine. The only reason I leave this scathing review is because I have been left feeling gutted and hated. Restaurants must always focus and make sure their food is fresh and cooked up to and above the expectancy for of all those who pay hard earned money. I rarely leave a negative experience, but here, I advise you, STAY AWAY! read more

The yellow sauce is awesome! Sides are great too! Maybe it was me showing up right before closing to pick up my whole chicken, but it was dry. I've had better rotisserie chickens from Harris Teeter, for less than half the price. I still have faith for some reason though that the one I got was just overcooked? I'll try it again, but this was no Viva Chicken on my first experience and that's all I really have to go on outside of legit spots in major cities. read more

My team and I stopped in for a Peruvian (Keto friendly) lunch at Mochia. It was a Sunday and they were very short staffed. Everyone there was doing about three jobs just to keep the business flowing. The wait to order was about 10 minutes and the wait for the food to come to the table was about 20 mins. I must say, the food was very tasty and almost worth the wait. I'll give them another try durning the week when they're moving a little faster. read more

Mochica - Mostrito Chaufa, with black beans instead of fries - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

A family friend suggested this place. I had been to the Subway right next door to it a few times and never even realized it was there. I went in tonight after I got the recommendation and let's just say I'm a fan! I had the best Chicken Wrap I've ever had in my life, the atmosphere is casual and the prices are very reasonable. If you're in the area and you're hungry, give this place a shot. You won't regret it. read more

My husband found this little hidden gem in Concord so we decided to try it out. They serve Peruvian fare in a cozy, relaxed setting. We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonably priced, tasty items. We had rotisserie chicken, white rice, salad, black beans and sweet plantains. The food was good. My only complaint is that it's served in individual containers and small paper receptacles and not on ordinary platwhich makes it awkward to eat. Other than that I liked the casual atmosphere and the friendly workers. Recommended. read more

I'd been there in the past and enjoyed it. I've sent others there. Today, it was so horrible. The waitress was hostile and wouldn't wait on me then I went up to the counter to order and eat, but she gave it to me as a to-go meal. The chicken was flavorless. They gave me three fries. The waitress shoved me while I was in line, and it was deliberate because she glared fiercely at me. They treated me like dirt. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IF YOU ARE Caucasian. It is an irrefutable fact. I'm a great tipper, so that's not it. They are doing well now, so gringos are verboten. I feel wretched that I sent so many people there in the past, especially from the church I attend (it's in the same shopping center). I am telling everyone I know to stay away! I know lots of people. I've brought in fairly large groups--NEVER AGAIN! It was such a terrible experience!!! read more

I'd definitely eat here again, just customer service was very bad on this day. I do tip when I eat out but the person pulling my order up to be paid out since I called in was so mad for some reason, 1st I thought it was because I didn't tip but that probably just made her more pissed when the whole reason I didn't tip was because of her. I asked for more sauce and she just said "it's in the bag" I asked, if it was more added additional she said once again "ITS IN BAG!" I'm like okay and to get home to find out we hardly had enough but that didn't matter because the sauce was so nasty and not even a half way full container. Good place to eat for a different taste to eat but I definitely wouldn't make this my main place to eat at as they may began to mess with the taste of your food next. Other than that food had great flavor the fries tasted like it was sitting for a while while then chicken was skimped across my tray. Good food, bad for your buck. read more

First impression in person was a little confusing, we specifically chose this restaurant over others in the area because it looked the most authentic. The chicken was re-heated, and it surprised us that the sides came in styrofoam cups. The most upsetting part was that there were no traditional Peruvian sauces to go with the meal other than mustard. We were looking forward to eating our chicken with mayo, aji-verde, rocoto, or even any home made hot sauce would have been nice. As we were looking around we noticed people ordering items that were not on the menu so maybe there is a secret menu for locals. read more

Food is amazing. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Customer service was a little off that day but based on the food I'm willing to give that another chance. Personally the environment was meh so it's more of a to-go place for me. read more

I am all about supporting small businesses. I was very excited when this restaurant opened. However, the last few experiences have been extremely disappointing. Once I placed a catering order in advance. I was in contact directly with the manager who received the order as well as our pickup time. When we arrived at the agreed upon time, our order had not even been started. In fact, the in-store workers were not even aware of our order. There were no apologies or discounts for our trouble. We have gone other times and the wait time has been excruciatingly long. However today may have been the final nail in the coffin. We went in to place a to-go order and used a coupon. Not only did they not apply the full amount of the coupon, but they also failed to include any sauce that we had requested. While the food is good, the service is unfortunately unreliable. And for that reason, we most likely will not be returning. read more

Great food; authentic seasoning; varied menu - repeat! Busy but we had timely service!

Went in with my partner-in-dine and his mom for lunch on a Sunday. I got the Monstruo Chaufa which is a "monster" plate of Chinese-inspired Peruvian fried rice with 1/4 dark chicken meat and fries. The chicken was juicy, tender and delicious. The fried rice was just ok. The rice was a little bit too dry for me. My partner-in-dine opted for the Lomo Soltado. He said the beef was overly salty. The dish wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best. My mother-in-law liked her order of chicken too. This was our first visit and the verdict so far is to go for the rotisserie chicken. We enjoyed the smoky flavor of the meat. We had to wait a bit before our orders were taken. The service seemed to be a bit rusty and can be improved. read more

We decided to try this place out after reading the reviews. It is in a convenient location to get in and out of and has plenty of parking. I had never officially tried Peruvian food but was excited to see what it was all about. When we arrived a few customers were leaving and we had the place to ourselves. We were able to ask what everything was and what they recommended. We ordered and seated ourselves and talked for a few moments. An employee delivered our food to the table. They now have divided plates for their food. They have self-service fountain drinks and plastic cups. It didn't take very long to get our food. By this time three more tables had arrived and ordered. I ordered the roasted chicken with a side of white rice and a side of black beans. My wife ordered the pulled rotisserie chicken wrap(it was huge) with a side of fries. While the fries were just average everything else was VERY good. The place appeared clean and you could see the kitchen from the counter and it appeared clean. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back to try something else. read more

The food is delicious! You walk up, place your order and they will bring your food to your table. We order the Pollo Saltado and opted to get beans over the French fries and the Arroz Chaufa along with a Chicha Morada to drink. I put this right above Viva Chicken. read more

their food is good. Their service definitely needs improvement. I walked into the restaurant and sat down to place an order and no one even acknowledge me after about five or six minutes I walked up to the counter and stood there for two or three minutes, and nobody acknowledge me either I finally open my mouth and asked one of the workers where can I put an order in. A total of seven or eight minutes went by, and that is not acceptable!! Very disappointing!! read more

I ordered the Lomo Saltado and it was very nice. The service was top notch. This was nicely situated in a strip mall next to a subway.

A friend told us about this restaurant and we were glad they did. Great food and great service. They offer a wide variety of dishes and soups. This is by far the best roasted chicken you can get. Glad to find a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes that are not fried. read more

Well I must say that Mochica has damn good chicken! The rotisserie chicken is packed with flavour that smacks your taste buds with pure deliciousness! For real the food here is delicious and would put it above other Peruvian rotisserie restaurants. We ordered a whole chicken with rice, salad and Mac and cheese. The food was delicious and the chicken comes with an amazing dipping sauce. Overall the food is great, the service was great and very attentive. I am definitely going to come back to Mochica in the near future. read more

The pollo a la brasa was amazing, sadly I cannot say the same thing of the staff. Our server was glued to her personal phone while taking our order, and kept forgetting to bring us utensils. We asked the chicken to be cut in eights but since she was on her phone, didn't pay attention and brought it in fourths. Not a big deal but it is annoying when you ask for something and aren't being heard. We probably would go back but just for take out pollo a la brasa and not to dine in. read more
