    The food was delicious! The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted…read morefresh, and it was easy to see why Alpaca is a local favorite. I went with the Peruvian fried rice, yuca, tostones, maduros, two chicken orders 1/4 and 1/2 chicken, and frijoles. The only small mishap was that I was given two 1/4 chickens when they were supposed to do one 1/4 and one 1/2. Since I didn't notice until after the fact, I had to make the trip back. The staff handled it very professionally, apologized for the mistake, and happily replaced it with a brand-new half chicken without any hassle. Everyone was friendly and made things right. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but great customer service is how a business responds, and Alpaca did exactly that. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

    Was in the area at sketchers, hungry, looking for a new place and Deilio that close and not too…read morecarby. People were nice. Menus were present everywhere, basically little explanation, though. 1/4 chicken, 1/2 chicken, or full chicken. Hmmm sounds interesting. Got a 1/4 chicken combo, which comes with 2 sides. got the green beans, and everything else was some kind of really heavy carb. I asked if they could do something that didn't have that may carbs, and they said they had a side salad. Ok, that's cool, I'll do that. The beans were sauteed in a pound of butter, kind of mushy, the salad was about 1/2 cup in a very small boat. IDK, maybe growing up on a farm has still spoiled me years later. The 1/4 chicken was almost 12 bucks, and consisted of a leg and a thigh... I guess that is a quarter chicken. Ok, fine. When I got the plate, it was free range central American size chicken, if you know what I mean. Very small, skinny, not very much meat. It tasted ok, and I ate everything but the beans :( ... I was starving by the end of my 6-minute meal. I should have gotten the half chicken at a minimum, maybe the full, then the price jumps to 16 and 30 bucks respectively. Ate a bag of jerky when I got back to my office. It was fairly clean, and people were coming around to collect the trash which is nice. Not enough for me to be a comeback guest, though. It seemed popular enough, though, not packed but steady.

The creator of this place deserves the entire universe! The staff are friendly people too so that's a plus!

    Tried Alpaca Chicken about a month ago on a night I didn't feel like cooking. There is parking…read moreavailable out front, though when we went about an hour before closing it was pretty packed and hard to find a parking spot. Inside, the restaurant has a setup similar to Chipotle, but more with a Peruvian style feel. To order you walk up to the counter to place your order. I ordered the 1/4 chicken combo which comes with two sides. For the chicken you can choose dark or meat. For the sides I chose the corn (which was a bit undercooked) and rice. The chicken was good but it reminded me a bit of higher quality rotisserie chicken you might pick up from the store. My biggest hesitation is probably the value for the price. The 1/4 chicken meal portion feels a little expensive for the size. The daily specials seem like the better value since they also come with a drink. My partner ordered the daily special chicken tacos. They arrived cold and were covered with more raw onions then we personally prefer. The standout for both of us was the green sauce and you could add this to anything to make it taste good. Overall I'd still consider giving it another try if I'm even in a pinch and am looking for a good chicken meal.

    I've driven past Alpaca countless times and finally decided to see what all the hype was about…read more We ordered two quarter pound white chicken meals with slaw, salad, green & yellow sauces, plus garlic mojo dressing through Uber Eats. The chicken is the star here. Smoky from the charcoal grill, incredibly juicy, and seasoned so well that it honestly doesn't need anything extra... but then you add the sauces and it's game over. The green sauce brings a bright, herby kick while the yellow sauce adds a creamy tanginess that somehow makes everything taste even better. Pro tip: Don't skip the sauces. Better yet, order extra because you'll immediately regret not having more. This was my first order from the Apex location, but it definitely won't be my last. One of those rare places that actually lives up to the hype.

    Wow, before tackling Costco, my wife and I decided let's eat at Alpaca. We did and it made the…read morecrush of Costco so much easier to tolerate. I had the half chicken, I had the yellow sauce for dipping. The green sauce is just a bit hotter and I think doesn't go as well. I always get the half chicken, corn and green beans. I eat the thighs, leg and the corn which leaves the rest for left overs tomorrow. The chicken is always good but not dried out from the charcoal cooker. The left overs always warm up nicely. My wife always orders the Pollo Saltado. A mixture of chicken and vegetables over a load of French fries. She too will have left overs for tomorrow. She really prefers the warmer green sauce. For dipping. Always enjoy are alpaca.

The friendly/knowledgeable worker walked us in the lamb pen - clearly explained the rules then gave us some food and the friendly lambs came over for lots of snuggles. When done with the snuggles we could go explore. First we went to the clean restroom to wash, then headed over to the other side of the pond to pet the goats. There were also bunnies,chickens a donkey and a mule. You can buy local beer, wine and drinks, walk through the gift shop and pick and eat berries. They also have live music- check the website.

    TLDR: Enchanting, engaging farm in Durham offering lamb snuggles, goat petting, live music, games,…read morecamps, and more. The farm also has sheep, chickens, bunnies, donkey, mule, gift shop, seating areas, air conditioned restrooms, handwashing stations, and a pond. We had a lovely experience at Old Mill Farm recently. It was a much needed peaceful retreat and return to nature. We could have spent all weekend just relaxing on the deck watching the animals and snacking on fresh blackberries. We arrived a little late for our lamb snuggle session, however, the employee who greeted us was so understanding and welcoming. She introduced us to the lambs, clearly stated the rules, and answered all of our farm questions. After feeding and petting the adorable sheep for 45 minutes, we explored the rest of the farm. We washed our hands, walked around the pond, pet the goats, perused the gift shop, and visited the chickens, sheep, donkey, mule, bunnies, and vineyards. The fresh blackberries in the vineyard were large, refreshing, and delicious. At that point we were soaked in sweat and decided to wash our hands and head out. We did play all four "carnival" games before leaving. Local: we appreciate their emphasis on supporting other local businesses in what they offer at the bar and in the gift shop. Food/drink: Bar stocked with local beer, mead, wine, cider, and non-alcoholic options. No restaurant on site but they sometimes have a food truck. Customer service: I forgot her name, but the farmer leading our group was incredible. She was so welcoming, patient, and passionate about the farm animals. Parking: large, labelled dirt parking lot near the donkey and mule enclosure. Reservations: needed on specific days/times/events. The website lists when reservations are needed. Price: check the website for free visit days/times. Some events do have a cost. Lamb snuggling was $10/person (for 5 people) and included food for the lambs and a self-guided tour of the farm. It was definitely worth the price.
