Delivery was on time and still warm on arrival.  half chicken was good, very juicy.  Tostones were good/typical.  Green sauce for the win.

They never disappoint. The chicken is cooked to perfection every time and so juicy. Kinda hard to not order from them everyday! The chaufa rice is so flavorful and delicious and the servings are great portions for the price. 

I've ordered from this place a couple of times now, and I'm both instances the food was timely, healthy, well-portioned and tasty!  Also, delivery came a bit earlier than expected, which is always a win.

The maduros slightly overcooked which can be good depending on your personal preference. <<taggedItemId=5411459964>>Lomo Saltado Carne<</taggedItemId>> wasn't ama but it wasn't bad either, I just wish it had more beef and fries. The huacaina sauce was tiny for extra $2~.
