Higo Chicken

We went to Higo chicken with dear friends after the movies this past weekend, and let me tell you, it knocked my socks off. For my better half and I plus our little guy we ordered:***Ceviche de Pescado: This was fish marinaded to perfection served with cooked sweet potato slices and hominy. This was very different and special.***Pollo Saltado: This was so incredibly flavorful. The only bummer was it had a whole lot of french fries and not a lot of chicken.***Side salad: This was surprisingly delightful and I would 100% order again. it was fresh and whatever the dressing was is so yummy.***Plantains: These were the perfect fried and sweet treat.We also got to try the Yucca a la Huancaina which is fried yucca with a side of cheese sauce. This was good but I don't think I'd get it again.The green sauce that they bring to the table deserves it's own paragraph. Man, that is so good. If you don't know why it's so good, please don't ask. It will ruin the illusion that this might be a healthy sauce when you learn the base ingredient.We will definitely be back!

Food: 4*Service: 5*Ambiance: 3*Located in a small strip mall off Whittier blvd, this place serves good Peruvian fare. I ordered papas la huancaina (boiled potatoes covered in a creamy sauce) and lomo saltado (beef salted with French fries, onions, tomatoes). Both were really good. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive

Higo Chicken is my top favorite, go-to Japanese Peruvian spot in La Habra. You'll find this fantastic restaurant nestled in the far corner of a tiny plaza on 722 E Whittier Blvd. The inside of Higo Chicken holds a handful of tables in a welcoming, simple, pastel colored interior. Equally as pleasant has been the greeting and service of the staff during my visits. FOOD:True to its name, their rotisserie chicken is a headliner on the menu. The chicken skin is beautifully roasted which gives it a bit of smokiness to accent the enticing medley of seasoning. The meat is wonderfully succulent as well. Drizzle on their aji verde sauce (cilantro, garlic, lime, chilies, etc.) to enhance the chicken with a zesty, aromatic heat. You can get a whole, half, or quarter size with a side of your choice. I got their Tallarin Verde con Pollo a la Brasa ($14) - it comes with a quarter chicken piece and a spaghetti with cheese, basil sauce, and spinach. I'm hungry just recalling about it. I appreciate it came with a complimentary Papa a la Huancaina - potato with a spicy cheese sauce. Their Lomo Saltado ($19) is also very solid with thick fries, chunks of steak, and grilled onions & tomatoes. I've taken a couple of friends and have turned them into fans of this place. Definitely give this place a visit!

Really good Peruvian food. The place was packed when I went, so depending on the day/time expect a little wait. The service was good, and the food is definitely worth trying. Do highly recommend, and definitely recommend the causa rellena!

Perfect hidden secret. Was told about the spot by a family member. Went with a group of 10 and on a Saturday night. Could not have asked for more. Food was great, service was great. Must try location, will return.

Higo Chicken is awesome and so delicious!! Service was friendly and fantastic too. We ordered the following: * causa rellena* ceviche de pescado * tallarin verde con pollo a la brasa (1/2)* maracuya drink The causa rellena and tallarin verde con pollo a la brasa (1/2) were both cooked to perfection, and I would 10000% come back to order those again, as well as try other items on the menu next time. Looking forward to my return!

Literal gem! Randomly decided to get lunch here and was truly impressed by the quality of food. I got your typical lomo saltado- and WOW! It was veeeerrry delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and had the best kind of flavor. Onions were on that perfect texture (nice crunch, soft exterior), tomatoes were great, fries weren't soggy, but kept their texture! Rice was delicious, sauce was delicious and their ají sauce tied the dish perfectly together!

It's really not a child friendly place, it's small and quite loud. I had to ask for water a few times until I finally got a refill. We had the Lomo Saltado, it was flavorful and the portion was pretty large, $19. Parking is limited, our group had to park on the other plaza's parking lot.

When you enter the restaurant you are immediately greeted with a strong and aromatic aroma as well as a friendly face :) Service was quite fast and so friendly. Our waiter was so helpful, and the service alone was 5/5. The food was also yummy! We got the half-rotisserie chicken with fries and salad. The chicken was steaming hot and so moist! The skin was crispy and seasoned well. The fries were thick cut and crispy. The star of the show really was the green sauce! It was so bright, a little spicy, and savory. I'm looking forward to trying the other items on the menu :)

Bomb food and the service was excellent. I am definitely coming back to this place. The agua de Maracuya delicious!
