Best grilled chicken ever! Yucca fries are great with spicy sauces. Beans are next level!

Peru Chicken -- Authentic Peruvian Food By Ted Cucuro, Las Vegas Nevada AI News, Hospitality Correspondent If your looking for a true taste of Peru-- the kind that feels like stepping straight into a family's cherished kitchen -- this fourth-generation, family-owned Peruvian restaurant is exactly where your compass should point. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back: here, tradition isn't just preserved; it's honored in every dish, every detail, and every warm interaction. From the moment you step inside, the family's heritage surrounds you. Beautiful wall photos of their most iconic plates set the tone, and the staff--genuinely friendly and wonderfully patient, are always eager to guide you through Peru's bold and comforting flavors. They're the kind of people who make you feel like a welcome guest, not just a customer. Main Course Highlights: Half Chicken with Rice & Salad, This is the dish that keeps regulars loyal. The half chicken, roasted to a perfect internal temperature of 170 degrees, is a masterclass in family tradition. Tender, unbelievably juicy, and crowned with that irresistible cracking golden skin, it's the kind of plate that makes you slow down and savor every bite. Paired with fluffy rice and a crisp, refreshing salad, it's simply perfection--no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just generations of culinary wisdom passed from grandmother onward. A cornerstone of Peruvian cuisine and one of my absolute favorites: their Lomo Saltado, bursts with flavor: wok-seared steak strips tossed with onions, tomatoes, all kissed by that signature Peruvian seasoning that balances comfort and excitement in one plate. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. This is the dish that shows just how skilled this family is--bold, soulful, and deeply satisfying. Served with fries and rice. Appetizer: Anticuchos, a true Peruvian classic, and they execute it beautifully. Tender marinated beef heart--smoky, seasoned just right, threaded on skewers and grilled until beautifully charred. It's a dish full of character, and here, it tastes like it comes straight from Lima's street stalls. Dessert: Picarones, light, sweet, and addictive. These Peruvian-style doughnuts, made from squash and sweet potato, come fried to golden perfection and drenched in spiced syrup. It's the dessert that ends the meal with a smile, and makes you consider ordering a second batch for the road. Drink: Inca Kola-- "The Golden Kola" No Peruvian meal is complete without sipping on this bubbly, bright, almost floral soda. It's sweet, vibrant, and uniquely Peru. If you haven't tried it yet, prepare for a new favorite. Whether you choose to dine in, carry out, or use their catering services, this restaurant delivers warmth, authenticity, and generations of flavor every time. It's family-oriented, full of heart, and run by people who clearly love what they do-- and it shows. This is more than a meal. It's a Peruvian family's legacy served with pride. And fortunate for us, they're sharing it with Las Vegas, one delicious plate at a time. read more

The food was just incredible!!!!! I absolutely love love love the food. It had plenty of flavor. Just a few things, disappointed me. First and foremost, I'm a big water person. They gave me a glass of water and it kind of tasted like chemicals and it left me an aftertaste in my mouth. So unfortunately, I had to buy a beverage because I did not want a chance and get another cup of water. Ask for service the waitress was very sweet and kind. However she didn't really check up on us. When I asked her for the green sauce, I told her if we can have one each my daughter one my husband and I won till three in total. She gave us one little thing of the green sauce for all three of us so I couldn't enjoy my food as much as I really wanted to. Ask for price I think they do give a good amount of food however I've been to other places where they give you that amount plus a little tiny soup or something and appetizer to get started so $20 is a little bit on the higher end. However, I do have to say that the food is really good so at least they have that going for them. I kept seeing other people's plates coming out and as well they looked very delicious. I did try my daughter's chicken and as well it was cooked very well and tasted very good. I was very surprised honestly. It seems like it's clean. The only thing is that they do have a corner area with a bunch of things which make it look messy, which is a little disappointing because it's a restaurant you don't wanna be looking at a mess while you're eating. When we got there, there was nothing on the TV. I guess they couldn't play anything on there or it was not functioning. They played some music which I really appreciated However, it was way too loud. I really enjoyed the food however I always try a glass of water everywhere I go and this is not the place to get water. The music was too loud and the plates are a little pricey. Maybe next time I'll get a plate to go. read more

First time having Peruvian food in Las Vegas and it's been many years since having it in general. We had a wonderful dinner at Peru Chicken. The place isn't that big; very casual and service is good. Our server was attentive and pleasant. I had the 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken with Rice and Beans which is simply delicious. It's tender and has such great flavor. I loved the sauces it came with, there was a green and yellow sauce on the side which were both great with the chicken. The beans are also very tasty. My BF got the Milanesa de Pollo which is a breaded chicken cutlet. It comes over fries and there is also rice and a simple salad. This dish is also really good. My BIL also got the 1/2 Chicken and we agreed that it's such an amazing dish. He tried the Chicha Miranda, the purple corn juice and he liked it. We all shared a Pork Tamale and the Fried Plantains which we enjoyed. Portion size of the food are big so we ended up taking food home. I definitely want to return and try some of the other dishes. It's located in a strip mall with lots of easy parking. Great meal! read more

This is the best Peruvian restaurant I have ever been to!! We were a big group of 10+ walk-in on a Sunday & they accommodated us so well on such a short notice. The waitress was very friendly, giving us extra sauces on the side & taking our orders in a timely manner. Staff was great, friendly, & very professional. I loved the mom & pop vibes. It is a small, intimate restaurant that serves authentic Peruvian dishes. We got yuca frita, ceviche, & anticuchos for apps for the table. Yuca frita was hot & so crispy, fresh out of the kitchen. Ceviche was sour, tangy, so full of flavor. I wish i had a spoon to slurp the juices from it. I got lomo saltado for my meal. The beef was tender, juicy, & so delicious. Portions were generous, we had to ask for to go boxes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone local to the vegas area for the real deal Peruvian dishes. I will come back!! read more

Came back to this spot again while I was in the area, and it still holds up as one of my favorites. The staff is super friendly and always on top of things, making sure you're taken care of throughout the meal. The food is just as great as I remembered--fresh, flavorful, and packed with that perfect balance of flavors. Seriously, the sauces here are next level. Every dish just gets better with a little dip of whatever sauce they've got going. And the prices? Totally fair for the portion sizes and the quality you're getting. If you're craving good Peruvian food, definitely check this place out. It's a winner read more

I was here today to experience this place bad service I was there they where 3 people in the front 3 more walked to the front one took the the time to welcome me and another person walked in the same experience no one welcome this person they just ignored us very poorly service read more

My husband and I decided to split a whole chicken with a side of cheese and corn. The chicken itself was good -flavorful, well-cooked, and enjoyable -but it wasn't the best thing we've ever eaten. It was solid, but not something we'd rave about. The cheese and corn side, however, was a miss for us. It wasn't what we expected at all. Instead of melted or cooked cheese, it was just pieces of cold cheese, and the "corn" turned out to be hominy. If you're expecting the usual crisp, juicy, and sweet corn, you'll be surprised -- hominy has a large, chewy texture and isn't sweet. It felt odd alongside the chicken, and we'll definitely be skipping that side next time. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and was happy I did. I am not new to the Peruvian food game and this place proved to be good. The space is unassuming. Adequately clean with ample seating. Definitely see myself being more of a take out patron and that's not a bad thing at all! Gravitated to their Lomo Saltado variety and liked it. A little heavy on the saucy juices but otherwise a pleasant choice. Loved their yellow & green sauces. I can admittedly drink those by the gallon. Don't forget those two with your meal!! You'll regret it. Definitely want to come back to try more dishes from here. I can't help but eyeball the dessert. Recommended for sure! read more

Amazingly tender & juicy chicken with the savory skin that's so delicious, you'd forget you're in Vegas, and not Peru! It transfers me back home in SF where they also had deliciously tender and juicy chicken. The parked plantains were soft and sweet like caramel also. This is a mom & pop shop with a fantastic authentic twist and take out option. The owner seems to be there to help out which makes it feel like I should support the local businesses even more. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I liked the food before... I grabbed a chicken with fries ... God, the fries were hard and cold, they were old, they only put them in the oil so the fries would heat up, horrible... the service was not at all friendly, very rude, especially the girl at the register... I won't be back. read more

Peru chicken is my favorite! Never dry always great quality! I've had everything on their menu this is a hidden gem!

I didn't even know what Peru food was like but I've gotta say their chicken is the best chicken I've ever had! Ordered a whole chicken to go (my barber recommended this) and I'll definitely be going back. I've had Thomas Kellers chicken and this is better lol definitely not a Michelin star restaurant but the chicken is sooo good read more

The chicken is delicious. Sides were lackluster. Fries were abundant and bland. I will return for chicken alone.

Wow what terrible customer service: a very extremely long wait for substandard food. Do yourself a favor and skop this restaurant like the plague. The soapa was awful and it literally takes them an hour to make simple preoaration read more

Omg!! Very good place we had a craving for my Moms food and this was close to hers! My husband and I had Lomo Saltado and fried Yucca with salsa Huancaina! The waitress was kind as I butchered thru my order not remembering the names of dishes .We finished the meal with Alphajones I think that's what they are called. They are a cookie that was filled with a Carmel like filling! I loved them they were not too sweet like I remembered them to be. Thank you for an amazing trip down memory lane! This place is clean , even the bathroom! Many return customers and fast preparation of a meal with good proportion! We will be back! Give it a try it's amazing! read more

Wow! Their ceviche is AMAZING!! Came to this restaurant after trying two other than were closed (Thanksgiving day) . I'm sooo glad they were open! To be honest I didn't have high expectations for their ceviche (only coz I thought their focus was more on chicken) but I was wrong. Their ceviche was so good that I went back the next day to eat it again! I also ordered sopa a la minuta. I was a little disappointed as it was not sopa a la minuta that I'm used to- one with evaporated milk & egg. I thought I got a wrong order but I never asked. Anyway, still leaving 5 stars because of their ceviche!! read more

I'm so lucky to live close to this place. I've been coming here for two or three years now at the Sahara location. Their ceviche is to die for, I order this every time along with the passion fruit juice. Their tamales are delicious to, they also have a green sauce that goes on top. Their chicken, rice, and beans with plantains are always good. The service here is so friendly and they feel like family. The ambience of this place feels authentic and parking is right out front and no problem finding parking. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Peruvian food or anyone in general since their food is pretty delicious . read more

Meat of lomo saltado was not filet mignon but a very thin top sirloin steak. Flavor was decent and price was Los Angeles prices (without the Los Angeles quality). Ahi Amarillo was very good and loved the diet Inca kola on the menu. Might be back but there is definitely better out there. Ceviche was on 100 percent point read more

Been to two locations in three days...nothing but top notch service and deliciousness that has you dreaming of your last visit to Peru! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend anything from their extensive menu, you can't go wrong! You might start with the Lomo Saltado.... read more

Everything was great just wish I lived there cause every time I come and eat there at least twice!

Cozy and small family-owned restaurant. Plenty of parking. Restaurant has inside dining and take-out. Service is prompt and employees are attentive. Food offerings are super delicious! Very flavorful! We ordered chicken and pork dishes. Meats were all moist and tasty! The pesto pasta is really good! This pesto sauce is different from the Italian pesto sauce, which is made with pine nuts. The Peruvian pesto sauce is not made with pine nuts. Then there are the plantains and the fried donut pastries. All so delicious! Highly recommend! read more

The service here was quick and easy. It's a small place but has decent seating. The girl at the front was very friendly and took me to my seat where she gave me a menu and some utensils. She was very nice and helpful. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with fries and beans. They accidentally included the salad instead of the beans but they apologized and quickly corrected the order. The chicken was delicious with lots of flavor. The fries were okay and so was the salad but the beans were really good. Aside from the chicken the green sauce they provided with the meal was the superstar. I would definitely go again. read more

I offered the owner of Peru Chicken $20 cash for his seasoned chicken recipe, and he said, "It's a family secret. I wouldn't sell it for $10,000." Frankly, I don't blame him. It's THAT good. I ordered the breast/wing combo along with a salad. It came with two different kinds of salsa: one mild and one spicy, both of which were tasty. The chicken was tender and flavorful, with a wonderful spice mixture created by the owner's grandmother. Every bite melted in my mouth. Overall, the meal was extremely enjoyable and was an excellent value at only $14. read more
