Alicia's Kitchen

If you're looking for your favorite new "hole in the wall" spot, look no further. Settle into a booth or large table with a Chicha Morada and prepare for your taste buds to be dazzled. Start with Yuca Fries with cheesy dipping sauce. We had an assortment of things, the 3 mix plate, Lomo Al Jugo, and Pescado a lo Macho. Don't miss the spicy sauces, and a HUGE array of sweets and breads from the bakery. I'll be back!

Great Peruvian food in a casual atmosphere. Ceviche and chaufa were both textbook takes on the classics. Large bakery and they serve breakfast too. We met Alicia and she was so sweet - said she started this 10 months ago and also owns the coffee shop across the street, Sumaq. We went there a month and they have great empanadas. These are some nice little gems on South Blvd, check them out!

The food was excellent. It was my sister's and I first time trying Peruvian food. I got Lomo Saltado and although I was asked how I like my meat(I said medium) , it was overcooked and felt tough and chewy. Flavor was good tho. It came with rice and fries. My sister order Seco a la Norteña which was delicious! A braised rib with beans and rice. Our drinks were delicious as well. Service was good(other than our initial waitress leaving us). The ambiance was nice and we could tell that place was about business as they had a bakery, jewelry place, carnicería and other things. We decided to stop by the bakery for desserts. Got a maracuya(passion fruit)cheesecake(Amazing!) and I forgot the name of the other dessert but it was delicious as well. I would honestly rate this place a 4.5/5 because they include the tip with the price...

Not completely disappointed but not satisfied. We have yet to find outstanding Peruvian food in Charlotte and we've been here 4-5 years! This restaurant is located inside a sketchy shopping center with a jewelry store, tax office and grocery store. The restaurant is in the same building located in the back. It is table service and today they only had ONE server waiting and bussing her own tables. She was excellent! Very polite and efficient, but she could have used more help. The Lomo Saltado had good flavor, however the KEY to good Lomo Saltado is QUALITY beef! Unfortunately you can tell they don't use good cuts of meats, because it was tough and chewy. For $21.00 they should be using Filet Mignon tips. My Aji de Gallina was delicious I have no complaints about that dish it was perfect! Other than being a bit too pricey. For being at the back of a grocery store their prices are a bit ridiculous. They also charge a tax on the food and a service fee as well. Overall I think I'll return, just not in any rush.

How does this not have any reviews yet?I was craving chaufa and was searching for a place that had it and this is what I found. Great little local restaurant. Definitely my vibe. Casual, chill place. Went in a Sunday and a number of families getting together and having a good time. Huge plates of food. It's a lot bigger than it looks like from the front. In addition to the restaurant, there is a bakery, little market, and I forget what elseWe got chaufa and tallarines a la huacaina. The chaufa was delicious. Very flavorful. The rice was well cooked and the grains were nicely separated. The chicken had a really good flavor and very well seasoned. The tallarines was also delicious. This was my first time having this dish. Very creamy sauce, a little reminiscent of fettuccine Alfredo to my unfamiliar palette. The beef was well cooked and tender and the veggies were cooked but maintained a bit of texture. The hot sauces on the side were also very good with the fried rice. I couldn't resist the bakery case though the cheesecake is in the fridge with my leftovers for laterEnglish is a little limited but they were very welcoming even though I'm pretty sure I was the only person there who did not speak Spanish.
