La Chacra Restaurant - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 EAT WITH EM NYC: If youre craving bold, authentic Peruvian flavors in Brooklyn, this place is an absolute must. We came around golden hour and were lucky enough to grab a table outdoors - the patio seating was super cozy and gave us the perfect view of the sunset while we ate. We ordered the rotisserie chicken and it was insanely juicy and flavorful -- perfectly seasoned with that crispy skin you dream about. The lomo saltado was tender and full of that rich, savory stir-fry flavor youd expect. For sides, we had both the yuca fries and regular fries --honestly couldnt pick a favorite. The yuca fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the papas fritas were classic perfection. The cocktails were another standout -- super refreshing with unique flavor combos (and you can feel them, too). Definitely not watered down. Service was amazing also!

4 /5 Amanda Wang: Came here twice and I like their drinks and ambience but the chicken is a bit dry. Hard to find parking but not a bad service. I like their tostones and green sauce, lomo saltado has flavor but missing a piece of something. Loved the chicken empanadas w chicken. Cool bathroom.

2 /5 Gilbert Wu: Food is great, but you have got to work on that customer service. Stood there at your "please wait to be seated" front door, only experience a silent treatment and no recognition. No hello. No welcome. No acknowledgment at all. I waited there for like 10 minutes just and letting me stand there. The waiters at the back seem free too, just watching me wait no acknowledgment. Bartender just stood there watching me. I get it. Maybe its because I ordered pickup, but really, are you going to just like pretend I dont exist for like a 10 whole minutes and just ignore me.

5 /5 Wisely Chang: Delicious Peruvian food! This is my first time trying Peruvian food and it was really great. We got the whole chicken combo which comes with a whole chicken, fries & sausage, maduros (friend plantains), rice & beans, and a salad. We also ordered the leche de Tigre (ceviche) and the fried calamari. We shared this food between 5 people and we still ended up with leftovers. The portion sizes here are big and the flavors are amazing. The ambiance here was nice as well and would be a great spot to catch up with friends or even for date night. Will definitely come back here again!
