Perú Chicken

This place has its ups and downs the food is Excellent and great customer service only thing is I wish it was a bit bigger we have went sometimes and there is no more room to eat, but that doesn’t stop us from taking to go like I said their food is GREAT !!!

Awesome little place. Great food and friendly service. We had chicken and steak — both we terrific.

Really good hole in the wall. Everything was really tasty. Had the half chicken and lomo soltado. Everything was good except the rice is a bit dry, I prefer rice with a little bit more of a moist/​stickier consistency. Really good food for a good price and I’d come back.

2 hours before closing & you have no chicken? It’s only 6pm — dinner hasn’t even started yet. Makes me wish I was in NYC where Peruvian restaurants are in abundance & actually want to serve customers. Ridiculous.

This place is so good and very affordable. We got a bunch of food, including the ceviche, chicken, linguine, pork sandwich and dessert of course. The ceviche is tart with strong lime flavors, which is not unusual for Peruvian ceviche compared to other places, so just a heads up as my dining companions were not prepared for it. The people who work there are really nice and helpful, even though they’re really busy.

Decided to visit this place with my in laws on our vacation to Vegas. We decided to check this location out because of all the positive reviews. When we arrived the place was really small and a little dirty and simple. Do not expect anything fancy but will you will get is excellent food.
We tried out the cheviche and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was seasoned great and the aroz chufa was a little oily but still pretty good. The cost was very inexpensive and affordable for the amount of food you got. I would recommend this and will visit again
My inlaws are from Peru and they even admitted that the food was very good

Food is decent, but the girl who serviced us seemed to really not want to be working. We asked for water and she brought us back bottles instead of tap. Possibly a way of making an extra buck off customers. Customer service goes a long way, doesn’t hurt to smile.

I started up drinking delicious Maracuyá, goodd start. Then ordered Anticuchos and they were delicious, juicy and tender in their sticks, ah and side of Yuca Frita which was also tasty, moist and yet crunchy.
The chicken was juicy, and tender even to the bone…
Then the finishing touch were those Picarones with honey, they will take you back to the mother land…

This was my first time attempting Peruvian and I haven’t been able to forget it since. I got ceviche, the only soup they have, and a desert. All of it was amazing! Friendly establishment.

I was impressed to find a rotisserie chicken spot in LV that rivals all the places in LA. I can say that this place is even better tasting. The chicken is seasoned to perfection. I had the breasts which is usually the driest part and when my gf and I cut into the breast, it was juicy and had a pink lining showing that the chicken was smoked for a long period of time. The anticuchos were perfect and even the fried plantains were creamy on the inside with a nice burnt crisp and caramelization on the out. This is a must stop if you’re in Vegas. Oh, and don’t forget to pick up an order of the picarones. They’re Peruvian style donuts that are difficult to make and this place nailed it perfectly.

Protein, protein, protein!!! I love the chicken here and the bistek is delicious. Come here once a week!

I love this place ! Always try to stop by at least a few times a month. The rotisserie chicken is great. The spices used are clearly South American. Lomo Saltado (sp) is excellent as well. Perfect hole in the wall spot. Love finding excellent homemade type of food places !

I’ve finally found a place that has some pretty good chicken that will have you coming back for more! I caught a quick glance of Peru Chicken out of the corner of my eye while driving in this part of town and decided to bookmark it for later. I’m actually glad that I did because this place really did not disappoint!
The interior is pretty small. It has a few seats for eating in, but can get a little crazy when the store is full.
One of the entrees I ordered was the tallarin verde con bistec (which I pretty much butchered when I was saying it for my order LOL) which consisted of the green pesto noodles, slices of steak, and a mini potato spud.
The steak was so soft and melt-​in-​your-​mouth. I was pretty satisfied that these tender bits of meat were packed with savory flavor. They’re cooked to perfection and will leave your tastebuds wanting more.
The potato was small but it’s a much needed, hearty carbohydrate that complimented the dish well. It was very soft, which is the perfect consistency to enjoy with the steak slices.
The tallarin noodles were pretty bomb, too! I didn’t know that pesto pasta would be the perfect match with steak and potatoes! Green is my favorite color, so naturally I had to give this dish a try… The noodles were cooked perfectly. They were firm, but not undercooked and hard.
I also had the ¼ chicken and their rice. The chicken was pretty amazing. It’s cooked rotisserie style, so the flavors are all there. It wasn’t dry on the inside, either. It was juicy and tender throughout the whole piece I was given. The rice (I’m guessing it’s basmati rice since the grains were long and slender) wasn’t mushy and wet, it was firm and very flavorful. I feel like you could eat this rice by itself because it’s that good.
Don’t be shy on the sauces! The lighter green of the two is creamy and will pair perfectly with pretty much anything you order (but goes best with the chicken, obviously). If you prefer a spicy kick to your food, go for the darker green sauce.
Inca Kola is sold here and it’s the perfect beverage to have when eating this kind of chicken and sides (like plantains and yucca). It’s basically liquid candy gold because it tastes like bubblegum and has a pretty color to it!
It’s worth the trip here and I will definitely be a repeat customer for sure.

Remember that time you finished driving across the country to arrive in your new home, Las Vegas, and you were so SO hungry. All you wanted was a whole chicken! To share with your friends in your new house that they had spent days furnishing for you!
You pull up to Peru Chicken, around 7:30/8pm, plenty of time before closing!
«I’m sorry, we do not have any whole chicken left. Would you like something else?»
«How about a half chicken?»
«We have chicken breast left.»
«How many chicken breasts?»
«One.»
Get out of town.
Peru Chicken ran out of chicken over an hour before closing. Judging by other reviews, the food here is good. But the reliability, of their feature item? Buzzkill. Two stars, won’t be back.

Really good food, had Arroz Caufa and my girl who is Peruvian had Lomo Saltado. Authentic at a descent price. From California so hopefully will be back next time we come to Vegas.

Chicken is well seasoned (perhaps even too much), moist and their spicy Peru green sauce is on point. The fries could be fried more to give it a firmer and crunchier texture and offering mayo would help elevate their fries. The portions and price are very nice.

Just moved to nevada and i just came with my cousin to try the food here its the delicious reminds me of the peruvian restaurants in L. A i ate arroz chuafa de pollo and pollo a la braza and french fries i will definitely be coming back more often.

GREEN STUFF ON EVERYTHING. The tallarin verde plate with bistec is a huge $ 10 lunch, with nearly a pound of thick, al dente linguini drenched in bright-​green pesto sauce. I’m a huge basil fan and I’d buy their sauce by the gallon. The steak is also perfectly cooked.
But they have two other green sauces too: one spicy, one creamy, both in large squirt bottles on the tables. Figure out which one you like and slather it on everything. The spice level of the darker green one tends to vary but the creamy sauce is tasty on anything.
I’m not a fan of sweet plantains, but they offer them here. My preference is the yucca frita. They also offer several desserts and prepackaged treats at the register. Service is friendly and helpful, but shop is small: recommend calling in if you’re getting takeout.

After reading some Unilocal reviews, I bookmarked this place and finally was able to delete the bookmark after eating here. The place is great!
I have eaten Peruvian twice in LA but was looking for something good here. I ordered at the counter and then sat at one of the 2 tops they have in this small restaurant. Seating for 18−−3 two tops and 3 four tops.
My order was for Tallarin verde con bistec, an order of fried plantains, and picarones for dessert. With this, I had passion fruit for my beverage.
The order was brought in a timely manner. The steak was nicely done and sliced thin and was accompanied by the pesto/​basil thick spaghetti. The hot green Peruvian sauce was great! I almost put the bottle in my pocket to take with me. The lighter sauce tasted good but had no kick. The fried plantains were very good. I’ve always liked them andPeru Chicken did not let me down.
The picarones for dessert were wonderful – too big of an order for one – but I don’t like to waste food so I finished the whole amount. Picarones are pumpkin and sweet potato doughnuts served with drizzled chancaca, a South American sweet sauce made with raw sugar and honey. The picarones had been drizzled with the chancaca and there was much left at the bottom to dip the remaining pieces.
Service was very pleasant. This is a mom and pop operation and they were both very pleasant. This is a must return place if only for some more tallarin verde!

We ate in at this tiny little restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly.
The main dishes were excellent– we had pollo de brasa and the seasoning was terrific! We also had lomo saltado– my first time– and it was fantastic!!!
Only draw back was the rice was a bit dry…
All in all, I look forward to return trips!

We are from Peru. There are not a lot of good Peruvian Restaurants in Las Vegas. We gave Peru Chicken a try. The pollo a la brassa is the best I’ve had! Huge portions and flavored with authentic Peruvian spices. The best dish however is the Anticuchos haven’t had a better dish since leaving Peru! Olga is a great Peruvian chef! Also recommend the papa de Huancaina and lomo saltado. Place is small and tables are hard to find so I recommend take out orders or get there early.

la comida super riquisima ! no se arepentiran ! vayan! se los recomendion 100 perciento!

Unilocal 365 CHALLENGE 2014−(170÷365) «Peruvian Crack Sauce»
Ever since Inka Si Señor on Maryland Parkway and Che Inka Chicken on Rainbow closed down, I’ve been on a search for legit Peruvian spots. Located in the same strip mall as Cuba Café on Tropicana. This family run business is a hole in the wall, but that’s where you find some of the most tastiest bites around!
We entered the restaurant and the dining area was packed with people gettin’ their FIFA on (12 – 15 people… I think about 16 – 18 people is the maximum capacity) The tables and counter area was full except for one spot… a two top in the HALLWAY on the way to the restrooms. At this point, we didn’t care and we were hungry so we ordered up right away. We started off with a Chicken Tamale, and Wifey’s favorite Papa A la Huancaina. The gentlemen brings a bottle of green sauce to our table, and I squirt it on to my first bite of the tamale, and in the process, scorch a few of my tastebuds only to find out that it was the more fiery Salsa de Huacatay. Luckly I was able to extinguish the inferno in my mouth with some tasty Inca Kola. The tamale was a bit on the dry side and stingy on the chicken, the papas were the better of the two apps with all that cheesy goodness.
It was also National Ceviche Day as Amanda M. had mentioned,(What a co-​inky– dink!) and that is another dish I haven’t had in a while, so we had planned on getting an order of the Ceviche de Pescado and their speciality, a ¼ chicken with rice. The Ceviche is presented with a very generous portion of marinated sea bass (not sure if the fish selection changes), red onion, sweet potato, hominy (I think), toasted corn, and lots of leche de tigre (the liquid that comes from marinating the fish with the lime juice) great flavors and textures in this dish.(Definitely making this one at home too!) The chicken arrived with a side of beans and Jasmine rice which was pretty dry, but that chicken was juicy and delicious. That Aji Verde though… I almost killed the entire bottle! Can’t wait to get all the ingredients so I can have my own supply at home. I’d definitely return for the chicken, and hopefully save room for some of the desserts. ALOHA!!!

Honestamente, la comida esta de acuerdo al precio. Ordenamos 4 platos fuertes y postre.
Ceviche de pescado, le faltaba algo pero no puedo describirlo, quizas mas aji o no se. Choclo casi contado y la cancha estaba buena.
Arroz con pollo, era pollo verde y arroz. Thats it. Nada de sabor. Mi esposa pidio limon para ayudar a cocinar la salsa criolla porque estaba solo cortada y sin pasarla por agua fria.
Chaufa de pollo, la estrella de la noche. Bien sazonado, el aji verde le caia perfecto al chaufa. De ahi comimos todos.
Pan con chicharron y camote. Lo siento por todos los que vean esto, pero a mi me queda mucho mejor. Estaba seco el chancho y otra vez la cebolla. Mas limon por favor.
Terminamos todo con los picarones. Estos estaban perfectos y su miel de higo estaba que me lo tomaria en te.
Debi haber tratado el pollo que es por lo que especializan. Esta recien empezando el lugar y hay que darle chance a cojer criticas y mejorar el menu. No es lo mismo cocinar en casa que en un restaurante donde la consistencia y los peroles donde cocinas no son iguales que a los de tu casa. Overall, maybe I’ll come back.

The food at Peru Chicken gets my stamp of approval! I’m excited to see picarones on the menu, so I will be back to try those sweet potato and pumpkin fritters soaked in brown sugar syrup very soon.
Petra and I tested out her favorite dish, papa a la Huancaína. They provided so much of the tasty, mildly spiced cheese sauce that we were soaking it up with lettuce leaves after the warm potato slices were gone. A cup of chicha morada, a drink of boiled purple corn, fruits, and spices served cold was good, though it had less clove flavor than I’m used to.
Pollo a la brasa is their specialty, so I took a half chicken to my husband for his lunch at work. It cost $ 9 and included two sides. I got rice and fries for him; beans and salad are also available if you’re the Anticarb. It appeared to be a smaller bird, but the skin had an aromatic blend of seasonings and perfect caramelization. He enjoyed the flavor, especially with the mustardy yellow sauce. A spicy green ají sauce was also included.
Lunch specials are offered Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm, and breakfast on the weekends features traditional dishes like tamales. Order your meal and pay at the counter. There are a few tables for dining in, and I saw many people picking up large takeout orders. Come try the comida criolla prepared by señora Olguita and her family while listening to some música criolla.
