"There are several reasons why I believe this is the best Pollo a la Brasa around, possibly even in all of America (I still need to investigate that further, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it came out on top). For starters, the restaurant employs a wood-fired oven, just like authentic Peruvian pollo a la brasa spots. This technique allows the smoky flavor to thoroughly infuse the chicken, enhancing its taste. The traditional spices used to season the chicken can be found not just on the skin but also deep in the meat. While the skin wasn’t as crunchy as I prefer, it was still packed with flavor. The fries, however, were a bit soggy, which seems common for many restaurants that focus more on the chicken and sometimes the salad. Pricing is similar to other eateries, falling in the $15-25 range, and the portion size is good for the price. The combination of authentic smoky flavor, flavorful marinade spices, and reasonable pricing makes this one of the finest Peruvian rotisserie chickens in America. I've seen some negative reviews regarding the wait staff and service time, but I didn’t experience any of those issues during my visit. I can’t comment on other dishes, as I only ordered the pollo a la brasa, but the incredible taste of this chicken suggests that the rest of the menu is likely worth exploring too. If you’re in town or live nearby and want to try Pollo a la Brasa, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a visit! As for parking, be aware that street parking options are limited."

"A bit turned off. This is my neighborhood sushi spot and I usually choose it over Sushi Sake and a few others primarily because it?s open until 11 pm plus I like their house soup. Last night, I rolled up at 10:50 pm for my online order and all the lightswere off, doors locked. Basically closed. I got out my car to investigate and someone was coming to the door to unlock it toleave for their Uber that just pulled up and they?re like ?we?re closed?. I was like ?I made an online order???Luckily it wason the table. I was like ?I thought you guys closed at 11?? Another lady who was heading out said ?we?re closing earlytonight?. Not to mention, my food was trash. Spring rolls clearly just rushed and I had requested wasabi/ginger which weren?tin there. Had the employees not been rushing out the door I could?ve looked at my order and asked for it. I cannot riskordering online from this place if they?re going to just leave early. Had I been a few seconds late I would?ve basically beenoutta luck and who knows the hassle to get my money back not to mention have no dinner. I understand emergencies happen and youmay have to close a place early but shut off your online ordering. I will say my phone was dead so Idek if they tried tocall. I give 3 stars because prior to this it was a place I frequented but I will never return based on this experience.There?s too many other places in town to try."
