El Palacio Del Pollo, nestled in West Orange, NJ, is a breath of fresh air for lovers of Peruvian cuisine.

Ivelisse Rosario's glowing account notes the vivacious atmosphere and superb service that enhance the overall dining experience, making it a welcoming destination for anyone, first timers or regulars alike.

My neighbor came by a few days ago and let me try the rotisserie chicken and French fries, it was really good. This convinced me to go in and check out the lomo saltado and I am very happy with my order. Lomo was something I ate a lot of in my younger days... It’s great to know I can place an order and walk right back to my house and enjoy it. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, the service was amazing, and I felt pretty relaxed in there while I waited for my to go order. I’ll definitely be back for more food!

The food here never misses—always on point! That whole chicken combo could feed a small army. And the ladies running the show? Superstars. They went all out for a special delivery, definitely made me feel VIP! If I remembered there names I would give em a shout out.

Visiting my family in town and stumbled upon this gem. The reviews I read before coming here do not do this place justice. We ordered 7 dishes for my family of 6, the rotisserie chicken was one of them. Our server, Myra (I believe) told us 3 times to make sure we understood that they are making a new round of chicken because it sold out and that it would take around an hour and a half. We didn’t mind at all since we had plenty of catching up to do amongst ourselves. The 6 other dishes came out in such a timely manner that the hour and a half FLEW. Their ceviche is ridiculous. So FLAVORFUL and spiced so well. The fried rice, paella, and huancaina were phenomenal as well. Other reviews talk about a wait for the chicken as if it’s a surprise. Seems like they weren’t listening because they could easily get something else that’s still amazing on the menu in a shorter time frame. Chicken was DELICIOUS and the hot sauces offered elevated the flavor. We ended up forcing desserts down our throats and tried a vanilla short bread cookie with dulce de leche inside which was easily one of the best cookies I’ve ever had and their flan which was also exceptional. I heard they just reopened after being closed a while. I’m super excited for the next time I’m in the Orange area to try some other stuff!

Great Peruvian food. Especially the chicken. Decent amount of parking. Gets quite busy in the evenings. Love their deserts as well.

Absolutely love this place! We call the rotisserie chicken “crack chicken” because it’s sooooo good, that it’s addictive ! You just can’t get enough! Our family was very disappointed when we thought they closed for good during Covid. But I just found out the closure was due to another reason. We’re just glad the restaurant is back. Woo hoo!!
