The rotisserie chicken is magically delicious. Their use of seasonings along with the wood fire roasting makes it wonderful through and that aji sauce it's something out of this world.

Good Peruvian Style Rotisserie Chicken. Juicy & Moist, I have mine's with papas & salad. The green Aji sauce is a must with the fries. Add some of it to the chicken & salad together. 👍💚

Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken from Spanish-speaking, Korean restaurateurs—nothing encapsulates the full-on melting pot of the neighborhood like this place. Get fries and ají (salsa-like sauce). Read more

The chicken was amazing. So was the salad. The green Aji sauce has quite a kick to it, so don't douse your meat in before trying out the spice level.

They seem to be really busy weekend afternoons, so go as early as possible (open at 10:30am Sat/Sun). Parking will be easier then too. Also, while they do take credit card, cash is highly recommended.

Great chicken and super fri badly service. Extra green sauce please. New digs, and notice the backwards letters. Haha

Come to this Peruvian island in Koreatown to buy half a delicious flame-licked bird lashed with green ají sauce, a mound of rice, beans and a chicha morada for a bit more than $10. Read more

The b grade is for best. Best chicken in town. Perfect smokey flavor and super moist. The black beans and rice are amazing as is the green sauce - hot!

Essential chicken stop. Considering take out? Your car will smell like a bonfire when you get home and you'll be trying to sneak messy bites at stoplights. Eat in: inhale the cozy wood-fired ambiance.

Parking sucks, which is either the tiny lot out back or most likely on the side street next to it. Sometimes MTA drivers park/ take breaks there. Classic hole-in-the-wall, small room, few tables.

$21 full chicken with everything is enough to feed a cop, drag queen + small family. And that's who you'll make friends with here. ¡Puro sabor! #lomo filter

The owner is Japanese, raised in Peru, but don't let this fool you- this chicken is the REAL deal. Go easy on the green stuff- Spicy is an understatement!

Bathroom kind of sucks in the little corner. Long line at the door. Cool people here taking your orders. The girls remembers most orders for each customer. Smokey. Your clothes will smell like food!
