Kiko's Peruvian Kitchen

[UPDATE ADDED BELOW! My son and I drove 15 minutes to try out Kiko’s Peruvian Kitchen, a place I had been wanting to try for a long time now (but live too far away for delivery). From the moment we stepped foot inside, Allison (hostess/waitress) treated us so kindly/thoughtfully, and she went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. We truly appreciated her so much! Our other waiter was also very attentive and nice! The food itself was out of this world. We each got the “Arroz con 1/2 pollo a la brasa” and it was seriously the best Peruvian rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had. It was thoroughly seasoned, with each bite of skin and meat bursting with pure Peruvian flavor. The chicken meat was soft, tender, juicy, and mouth watering, cooked to perfection. The cilantro rice was hot, tasty, and complemented the chicken so well. We got the salsa criolla on the side and let me tell you: This seasoned/prepared garnish of onions was unreal – unique flavor that paired so, so well with everything else. Not even done yet: The chimichurri sauce and the house made hot sauce were also fantastic (all sauces are complimentary when dining in). Add to all this the yuca fries, picarones (sweet potato/squash doughnuts), and crema volteada (Spanish flan), I can honestly say that this was one of the best, most delicious, and most satisfying meals I have been blessed to enjoy. But once again, the best part about all this was the 5 star service and wonderful staff. As we were walking to the restaurant from the parking lot in the back, I told my son, “I wonder if this’ll be worth the drive.” On our way back to the car, we both looked at each other and said, “YES, it was DEFINITELY worth the drive!!!” We can’t wait to come back with the rest of our family and believe me – it will be soon! Thank you again, Allison and staff, and shoutout to the amazing cooks/chefs!!! 9/13/2024 UPDATE: We came back for my birthday this time with the whole family. So many people have been raving about their ceviche, and guess what they were not wrong! We got the Clasico Ceviche Mixto and it was the BEST ceviche I've ever had. Fish (corvina), octopus, shrimp, and squid all fully cooked. Also tried the Causa de pollo after seeing intriguing photos SUPER unique. It was our first time having it and it was crazy delicious incredible textures and tastes! For drinks, we tried the chicha morada and it was very good (my wife said it was so much better than the first time she tried it at a different restaurant). Of course, we got the Peruvian chicken which was slamming, as always. The Peruvian fried rice was excellent. For dessert, we were introduced to alfajores cookies and let me tell you: I thought I was too stuffed for dessert, but these cookies are addicting! Last but certainly not the least, Gerson, our host and waiter, and member of the family business he was so welcoming, thoughtful, attentive, and patient (with all our questions and requests). He never made us feel like we were a burden, and we had wonderful conversations with him! Gerson, thank you for making our birthday celebration so unforgettable. We greatly appreciate you, Kiko, and the whole family!

It was our first time here and everything was delicious! We tried the house purple drink which was unique and refreshing with a taste of cinnamon and sweetness. It's a very small restaurant with parallel parking in front or a lot behind the buildings. We will definitely be back!

The food was amazing! This was my first time going but definitely not my last. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was very comforting. I HIGHLY recommend!

This place is delicious! The lomo soltado was fricking amazing. Coming back soon

Their food is very delicious, although I need to try more dishes..
