Everything was amazing! Be sure to try the fried rice and the green sauce! All of the sides are delicious. Chicken was so juicy!They delivered our huge order so fast!

This place is a hidden gem! $60 bought us a whole rotisserie chicken, a huge plate of yucca fries, a salad & 2 large glasses of wine. A new favorite. Insanely delicious & an incredible value.

Nice lunch in a quiet and cozy atmosphere. Share the avocado salad and the chicken.

Delicious Peruvian chicken with delectable aji verde. The Matador combo is the best deal feeding many mouths and give a taste of everything. Great sangria. Salchipapas.

Excellent food, ceviche, matador chicken platter and the fried seafood is for next time. Place is super small, but worth the squeeze.

Shrimp was in our order of Arroz Chaufa (w/ chicken) 2x after we requested it not to be! Why couldn't this have been remade since totally problematic for anyone w/ seafood allergies?!?

Prepare you stomach empty. The portion is huge. The combination of side dishes including avocado salad and their signature roasted chicken is awesome.

1/4 chicken lunch special price is no longer cheap + avocado is now left off the salad- uncool that they're cutting corners!!!

Chicken was RAW (see pic) & now I’m feeling SICK! I’m told manager’s name can’t be given out, shop isn’t responsible for anything amiss & to call a customer delivery svc # independent of them..Crazy!

Needless to say the chicken is the restaurant's signature dish, but the yucca fries are also incredible with he traditional green spicy sayce

Absolutely LOVE the ceviche limeño! Avocado salad is also delicious. Lomo Saltado is also not to be missed

Chicken is the business, mad real flavor and if you hit the green hot sauce it's sublime! Menu isn't too vast but portions are large so be easy. Prices are great! Enjoy!

Whole chicken and avocado salad very good. Service is fast. Only thing was the tv on loud on news and soccer. A nice music will be much better.
Bryant BalatbatFebruary 24, 2015
Matador was great although some people might find the hot dogs with fries a bit weird. It will be too much food for two so expect leftovers.
Allison KaminskiOctober 15, 2015
Mantador combo, empanadas and sangria is a must!! All of that fed 4 people easily and left us full!
Anne SchendelJuly 1, 2014
The Matador Combo was amazing! Two of us had enough leftovers for a few more meals!! All excellent!!

The Peruvian Combo is perfect for two to split. It's just the right amount of food for a great price ($26). A pitcher of sangria will also cost you $26 so beware. Also, they only take cash and Amex. G

Great chicken! Make sure to get the green sauce it's so yummy! skip the rice as a side it's boring
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatFebruary 24, 2015
Great chicken dinner! Try the green sauce! "Fries and hotdogs" as a side dish was interesting.
Rebecca TAugust 10, 2017
The chicken is amazing and you'll definitely want extra green sauce!

The ceviche is the best! A very authentic Peruvian ceviche. A great side is the avocado salad, a healthy and delicious combination!!!

Great Peruvian food. Good for dates.
ZenFoodsterJuly 4, 2016
Disappointing UES offshoot: Lunch special salad is smaller & sauces + ckn saltier than @ 34th st. Ckn not as tender/moist-order dark meat instead. Love Inca Cola but fries were not very good.
CarlaJanuary 21, 2016
Such tasty food, and really good value - so much food!
New York HabitatDecember 7, 2011
The relaxing ambiance here makes for a great date spot. Try the avocado salad and their Peruvian chicken.
Soyun JeeJanuary 23, 2016
Super tiny place, but the food is still awesome. Get lots of green sauce!
E ROctober 25, 2015
Great place for a date. Amazing Peruvian food, and good sangria!
Yuval ZukermanSeptember 27, 2016
The chicken is amazing. Service is blazing quick. Salads and sides were meh.
John LahamJuly 15, 2014
Try the rotisserie chicken - good for sharing and comes with fries & salad!
Brendan LewisSeptember 7, 2014
Tasty tasty Sangria and the closest thing to Doña Sauce found outside of Austin Texas
Jenna WOctober 28, 2010
Get the matador- chicken, rice,beans, tostones, salchipapa and an avocado salad. Don't forget the sangria. 4 ppl a great night
Tiffany WongAugust 13, 2017
a tad under-seasoned but the chicken and yucca fries were cooked/fried nicely
Rob MJune 20, 2013
7:15 pm every table occupied. Seating rules unorganized and stinking of favoritism. Service fast and non-verbal.

The Jalea was really awesome! You should definitely try it!
Mike ShermanSeptember 4, 2016
All about the chicken. Ask for extra green sauce.
kayla bJuly 29, 2015
Chicken with green sauce is to die for!!!
Andrew RamseyJune 23, 2016
Huge portions for real cheap. Very good food
ZenFoodsterOctober 13, 2017
Never ordering delivery or dining in @ this UES locale again - it’s THE WORST! Messing up orders. Freshness+cleanliness has gone out the window! Containers reeked of ammonia smell (rat or bug feces?).

if you're taking food home, make sure to remind them to pack the sauces/dips as well (especially if you liked them). they won't pack it if you don't ask.
suneelSeptember 11, 2014
chicken covered in that green sauce!
Evelyn LingMarch 30, 2015

David BerkeSeptember 12, 2011
Order the rice and beans mixed together...always add green sauce
T SJuly 23, 2017
The sea food dish (I forgot the name) was too lemony for me. Moreover the waiter was also rude..
