Excellent Peruvian chicken -a regular in our family's take-out rotation. We like the dark meat. Good fries and tasty coleslaw.
The chicken is out-of-this-world delicious and not dry at all. Well seasoned and crisp. 6 of us--SIX ADULTS--ate for just over $50 and we were full. Highly recommend taking the family here. Parking out front, clean bathrooms, friendly staff.
The best peruvian chicken in Arlington. It's cooked to perfection and super savory. They have great options for sides from fries, plantains, coleslaw and much more. Go to is 1/4 chicken with fried and an Inca cola in can. Parking ca. Be tough when it's busy. There are times where the line wraps and you have to wait a while to get something. My suggestion is order online and pick-up.
