| - I love not having to drive to the east side for Peru Chicken, but most importantly, I just love, love, love Peru Chicken! I wish this fantastic pollería would open shops all over Las Vegas. Peru Chicken for president!
If you want to try authentic Peruvian rotisserie chicken, the famous pollo a la brasa, go to Peru Chicken. This new location features the same menu and a larger seating area than the original, with several booths for dining in. I only come here for the side dishes, but everything comes out of the fryer deliciously crispy and non-greasy. Even the simple side salad is flavorful with a red wine vinaigrette. Most sides are only $2, so skip all those fast food places and come straight here. A fast food drive thru isn't going to give you ají verde, yellow sauce, and white sauce with your French fries, so you'd be missing out. Drink the refreshing chicha morada.
Don't skip dessert, either. Traditional picarones, pumpkin doughnuts studded with anise seeds, are soaked in a brown sugar syrup that's also perfect for dipping fried sweet plantains. I'll bet it's even better a la mode, with a scoop of exotic lúcuma ice cream. Additionally, they make flan and leche quemada. You won't find any liquor at Peru Chicken, but one of the highlights about this new location is that Herbs & Rye is right across the street. I'll be stopping there before or after my Peruvian feast for the best pisco sour in the city; I have it all planned out.
