“ Exactly what you want from a roasted chicken joint. The chicken was tender, juicy, and—thankfully—not over-seasoned. The flavors spoke for themselves. We loved the simplicity of the sides: perfectly cooked beans, crispy fried yuca, and a fresh, no-frills salad. Our whole family left happy. My 4-year-old devoured a quarter chicken and a bunch of yuca fries. My 1-year-old couldn’t get enough of the beans. Even Grandma ate so quickly there was barely anything left for me to notice! The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our questions were answered and our order was just right. We made a day of it—started at the Nest Children’s Museum, wrapped up the morning at Alpaca, then all went home for naps. If you like roasted chicken, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended. ”
“ The best part about Alpaca is absolutely its fresh, flavorful, and rich Peruvian style chicken, and prices that are affordable for all people. I ordered the dark meat, and it was deliciously seasoned, moist and tender. The fries are made from real potatoes and were addictive, we ended up ordering another round of fries and could not stop eating them. The "Arroz Chaufa" dish was good although it was bit salty and the seasoning was uneven throughout the dish, with some parts saltier than others. The chicken soup was delicious. The green beans were just okay, not spectacular. Alpaca also demonstrated stellar service from the counter staff. The staff catered to every question and request that I had with a smile, and we playfully joked with eachother during the encounter. Alpaca has a lovely outdoor seating area that is shaded, which we enjoyed on a warm and sunny spring day. The indoor and outdoor dining area are spacious and have seating that is not squished together too closely. Also, it is located in a plaza where there is plenty of parking. Overall top notch service, a great location, lovely seating, rich ambiance, and fresh, hot food make this dining experience a dream. 5 out of 5 stars. ”
“ We frequently have lunch at Alpaca Chapel Hill when we go into town for errands and sometimes dinner. But we just had them cater an anniversary party for 60 people. Everyone loved the food. And the service we received, including have to revise the order a couple of times, was exceptional. The catering office is superior. ”
“ I love this place! When I don’t want to cook and I do not want to spend a lot of money for a healthy option... I always go with alpaca. ”
“ Ordered pickup and brought it home. About 20 minute drive. It survived well and was delicious. The tostones were delicious. We also got rice and beans. Yum. The yellow sauce was creamy (with a little mayonnaise) and the green sauce was spicy (jalapenos). Really enjoyed it!! ”
“ Everything about this place is great ! Not just the food but the service you receive. The Ladies in the front are always so nice and make sure to come check up on tables to check on customers. Me and my boss come here most of the week during work and its always the best service. Truly do recommend to come here to have a bite ! 10/10. ”
