This place is amazing!!! The prices are totally fair and you get big portions but most importantly, they’re DELICIOUS. I love Peruvian food and this has to be one of my favorite places in CT to get it!! The Pollo a la Brasa was so so good. Whenever I crave Peruvian food, this is where I’m going to g

We’ve always heard great things about The Rockin Chicken, so I was excited to hear when they opened a second location in Newington that’s even closer to us! We were super impressed by their flavorful chicken, and I really loved their garlic parm wing sauce. The lomo saltado and Rockin chicken bowls

My family absolutely loved this place! We ordered the whole chicken meal with 2 sides. The rotisserie chicken, potatoes, and chicken fried rice were amazing! My kids loved it too. Service was so friendly, restaurant was clean. Very reasonable prices. Family friendly! Will be back for sure.

The Peruvian charcoal rotisserie chicken was incredibly flavorful and juicy, with a perfectly cooked exterior and a moist, tender interior. The fried rice was also excellent, with a delightful blend of savory spices and herbs.

Great communication with the restaurant and the person about my order. However, I wish TOAST delivery was faster at delivering the order. I know the restaurant had it ready earlier.
