I've been on a mission to try every Peruvian pollo a la brasa in NYC, hoping to find the ones that have the same taste as the ones back in Lima. Chrip is nearly spot on. Amazing tasting chicken that actually tastes like Peruvian pollo a la brasa instead of the 5 spices some other places do. Chicken was so succulent. The green sauce was so good.The other star of the show here is the Pork confit sandwich which is a nod to the traditional Peruvian pan con chicharrón. It was SOO GOOD. Pork was so tender and the flavours were incredible. I've been back a few times and gotten it every time.Probably my fave Peruvian pollo spot in Manhattan at the moment. Highly recommend! - A Per
