"One of the best Pollo a la Brasa I've ever tried! This peruvian restaurant is my family’s personal favorite when it comes to pollo a la brasa in NJ. We get the pollo a la brasa here every time we are in town and for any special occasion. It is truly that good. I have tasted pollo a la Brasa from more than 30 peruvian restaurants in many different different states in the east side of America and this one is on my top 5 selection currently. I first tried this restaurant in 2018 but I didn't post reviews at that time. I have now returned to it this year and have long waited to taste this heavenly chicken again!There are several reasons why I say this is the best Pollo a la Brasa that you can get (maybe in all of America. I have yet to determine that but wouldn't be surprised if it won). Firstly, this restaurant uses a wood fired oven used in authentic peruvian pollo a la Brasa restaurants. This means that all the smoky flavor penetrates the chicken for maximum flavor. The traditional spices used to season the chicken is present and not just on the skin but also deep within the chicken meat. The skin was not crunchy as I personally like it but it was very flavorful. The fries were soggy but it seems that all restaurants that offer pollo a la brasa focus more on the chicken, and oftentimes the salad as well. The cost is near that of all other restaurants, which is from the range of $15-25. The size of the chicken is good for the price. The combination of authentic smoky flavor, spices from the marinade, and price makes this one of the best peruvian rotisserie chickens in America.I have seen several bad reviews about the waiters or wait times but those issues were not evident when I ate there. I can’t recommend the other food as I did not eat anything but the pollo a la brasa but the divine flavor that this chicken brings may be able to give you a good idea for the rest of the menu. If you ever wanted to try pollo a la brasa, are in town, or even live nearby, I extremely recommend that you come try this restaurant!Parking: Not many spaces to park on the street"
