Pollos A La Brasa El Chalan

Really excellent. Humble place with excellent food. Of course the rotisserie chicken is what they're justifiably famous for, but other Peruvian dishes are terrific too. Beef heart anticuchos are delicious and moist, served with excellent potatoes and corn. Ceviche pescado could not have been fresher. Ají de gallina, my favorite Peruvian dish, is done so beautifully here, with shredded rotisserie chicken in a luscious mild ají amarillo sauce. I like to go here right before the airport, but do leave extra time as they are not fast.

Authentic chicken and chica morada. I recommend getting the chica with the diced up fruit for more of a tang! This place is authentic Peruvian, as I said above. They don’t have your typical white/yellow sauce and green sauce combo - albeit having a delicious papa a la huancaina type yellow sauce with a kick (I really liked it). I thought it be important to mention the sauces as I know the majority of my friends die for the sauces. I deducted a star simply because of the very tight seating arrangements and the relatively hefty fees for extra sauces - I got crema salvadoreña for my plantains and it ran me $2. All in all, the pricing is good for the value, in my opinion, and the service is quick.

We had the Chafua Mixto with shrimp because it looked great from the photos. My wife had the 1/2 chicken with yucca and salad. Both dishes were extremely flavorful. I thought it might have been a little expensive but in reality it's not. You get good portions AND this is top quality, fresh huge shrimp, rice delicious, the chicken so well cooked to perfection. I had my leftover the next day and enjoyed it just as much. You're paying for good quality and I hope the owners keep this quality. I will try to come again before I leave for a second treat. Great service too.
