Ok good food and service is awsome but beer isnt that cold but i will degendly come again

Lomo Saltado had a citric flavor instead of a salty meaty flavor. There was also way more red onions than beef. Very disappointed.

Service is beyond terrible. I called twice to get a question answered and they failed the first time the lady on the phone answered I told her I had a question she said ok can you hold on. I was on hold for about 10 minutes and someone came and hung up. The 2nd time the same lady picks up I told her I was the girl she left on hold she was like oh so I ask her my question she responds with attitude and kept interrupting me just to put me on hold once more. I hung up and just sent someone to the store to place the order since I was trying to order because I was at work. I work with customers so I can say this is horrible service as for my food it was alright it was supposed to be arroz chaufa with chicken. There's barely any chicken. From prior orders I considered ordering today but now I think I'll think about it twice next time read more

Cheap, friendly and delicious. We've been looking for great peruvian chicken ever since we moved to New Jersey, from Arlington, Va (home of the great El Pollo Rico). This place is it. There is lots on the menu besides chicken, but why bother when the chicken is so moist and delicious? The sides are good too: plaintains, rice, beans. It's a bargain too. read more

I live in the area and being Peruvian, I like finding local native restaurants. I've been coming here for years, and the food is always on point. In the summer We came and ordered the fish ceviche, and it was amazing! Their lunch special, for a mere $7.50, was gigantic, including a very hearty soup, choice of 2 entrées, and a glass of chicha, which is a purple corn sweet drink. Everyone from the oldest to the youngest child, left this place happy. I came here again last week, for the lunch deal, however, they have earlier openings, and they now offer full Peruvian breakfast until 1pm. The majority only do this on the weekends, so I ordered the chicharrón&fried sweet potatoes ...the crackling cld've been crispier, but I loved it. Nice presentation. I ordered a lunch special to go, the Lomo of course, and it was smaller than I expected portion wise, when I opened it at home. But the flavor was good. They have good stuff for sure, and the waiters are very patient! I would have given 5 stars, but for 1 thing. There's a fish market next door, and I believe their smells, are somehow wafting through the walls. I had never smelled it before...ever! This is definitely a new development. I seriously don't think it's their fault, but if I wanted to take friends, the smell might be a little rough for some to handle. For me, I got used to it after about 20mins! I would still come here though, the ceviche was that lovely!! read more

Sol Chicken - Es amor al chicharrón! - Latin American Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

Moved from Maryland and was desperately searching for a new Peruvian chicken spot and this is the closest I could get to Pollo Rico. I always order the Half chicken combo with fried rice and its sooo good. The chicken is not dry like i have had in other chicken spots in this area. The seasoning is not the same as Im use to at Pollo Rico but the yellow and green hot sauces they give you make up for it. Service can be slow sometimes which is why i knocked it one star. Looking forward to trying their ceviche and tallarines verde. Prices are decent. read more

You want Spanish cuisine, well you have to make your way to Union city / North Bergen area. I ordered lomo saltado, taking Melissa M's "crack to asians" advise. The dish was def yummie and service was up to par. Would stop by and eat here again YES! The waiter also recommended the $16 fried seafood platter, and no doubt we will try on our next visit. read more

Great food and affordable. Dont eat there, the restaurant stinks. it smells like dead mouse. it smell cause of the fish store right next to them. THeir green spicy sauce is so damn good but they only give 1 per order. if you need more, you need to buy 4 for $1. but the food is good. read more

Great chicken. But call ahead to find out if they've run out of chicken. They run out too frequently for a place with chicken in their name. Very disappointing. It's like you went to a steakhouse and they didn't have any steaks left. Plus, we're talking about mere chicken, not caviar. read more

After reading these reviews, one would think the place is a wonderland for Peruvian food. Not even close. The service is worried about the soccer matches being played on the TV, not the patrons. My friend and I decided to give this place a try. He, being of Peruvian and German descent, ordered a ceviche. I ordered a more conventional dish: CHICKEN. Both plates were miles away from being remotely 'good'. The chicken was rubbery and tasteless and the ceviche fish tasted moldy. After feeling abandoned at our table, we opted for the check. Only then, the owner approached our table and almost wanted to force us to order dessert. We refused. As he went back to retrieve our check he was mumbling as if he felt that we SHOULD order dessert. He brings back the check with a 15% gratuity charge added. We inquired and he got verbally aggressive with my friend. He got nasty :( Needless to say, the place is classless and the food is light years from tasty. From now on, we will stick to our Hoboken and NYC zagat rated eateries. Safe to say, we will not return, nor recommend this place. Food and service way below substandard and does not merit 15%, or 10% or anything for that matter. Prices are too high for the quality. read more

Good food. Restaurant stinks due to the fish store next to them. Like their fried rice.

Went here recently for a guys night out . Their Yuca sticks are like French fries on steroids, a little greasy for my taste but it comes with this amazing green chutney looking sauce. I ordered their purple corn juice for my drink , which is a bit sweet! but quite good, ask for ice . Try it , you might like it. I let my cousin order my dinner since he has been here before . My dinner was basically fetucchini with that delicious green sauce I talked about earlier. They have a hotter brown salsa thing if you want something spicier , ask for it. The food potions are huge so unless you are super hungry , you might want to share a dish between 2 people. Over all it's pretty good , but my favorite thing ended up being the sauces so for that I can only give 3 stars. Unless you're a local, it's a good place to try once. One and done son! The good thing is it opened me up to Peruvian food, gotta thank my cuz for that. I will definitely try similar food in different cities. read more

Really good Peruvian food! This is actually the first Peruvian restaurant I tried while I was pregnant with my son. He's now 15 yrs old and I've been coming ever since throughout the years. I no longer live in the area, but when I'm in the vicinity I normally go to their other location on 48th Street. The ceviche mixto and jalea in particular are great and I can't forget the green & yellow sauces. read more

I absolutely love this place. This portions are big and you definitely get your money's worth. I got the chicken salad and it was so good . We also ordered bistec a lo pobre which was a giant piece of steak, two eggs, fries and rice. I recommend both dishes. read more

Their prices are fair. I used to come here a lot when i lived in Union city. It's better to order your food in the restaurant than to deliver. read more

I have been eaten some ok Peru food! Sol Chicken is simply delicious....Since I was introduce to this place 2 months ago, my family and I have gotten 6 times. Everything we have order has been amazing! Highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a great time out. FYI: The best thing about this restaurant BYOB!!!!!..... read more

I accidentally ordered from this location. I usually order from 48th St Sol Chicken. What can I say? Eh... Not going to make the same mistake. The flavor is not the same. The yellow hot sauce is watered down and extra oily. I ordered the whole chicken combo. The plantains where thrown in with chicken and only about 5 plantains contrary to an entire order in the 48th at one. Also the salad was dry, smaller portion and simply bland. Nothing was as I would have expected from the other location. She also charged me $3 for the corn chips that are normally free at the other location. Bottom line go to the 48th st location. read more

The food tasted horrible, not good at all, and it was melted to the container. Yuck! I didn't like it.

I have visited many restaurants all around NY and Hudson County. I have never seen a restaurant like this in my entire life. I am a person that goes out 3 times a week to eat around. I went once to eat there and I ordered a sangria. This restaurant gave me the cups completely dirty to the point I did not take a second sip out of this glass. I love Peruvian food and the food from this restaurant indeed pleasant that is why it has this one star. What made me aggravated was that the third time I ordered a pick up from there I specifically ordered a parihuela not a jalea. When I send my boyfriend to pick up the food they gave him a jalea (which is not what I ordered). I called to see if I could change it since it was not my responsibility. She simply said NO and that I ordered something I did not. I asked to speak to manager, her response was that they don't have one. I asked for the owner or a person thats in charge. She said there is no one to take care of this issue. I was upset but trying to still understand this lady's position. She asked the "chef" if they could change the dish and he said NO. I was listening to the entire conversation parts of it they were calling me crazy in spanish just because I asked for something I previously ordered. I asked the lady if I could talk to the chef and she asked the chef if he could talk to me and his response was a NO. I asked her what am I supposed to do now? Her response was simply sorry. I do not recommend this restaurant at all because they do not have the preparation to take an order over the phone properly and also because they do not care about the costumers but themselves. EVEN WHEN IS NOT THE COSTUMER'S FAULT. I felt completely disrespected. read more
