Food was amazing! Chicken is next level! Service was great. We had the family meal, there were two of us, and brought home almost half. The cilantro rice, black beans and sauces were killer. But, the star of the show was the chicken. It was perfectly seasoned, I wanna say almost tasted smoked, rotisserie chicken. I preferred the white meat but my dude liked the dark meat. Personal preference I presume. I would imagine it would travel well too. Maybe not the fries but for sure the chicken, rice and beans. Oh and try the yellow sauce!! Green if you like heat!

Super quick and delicious. Speed doesn't compromise the taste. Tucked away behind the Tampa airport is a family owned Peruvian restaurant with delicious chicken and I got the bow with rice and salad like toppings. It's super juicy, flavorful and the rice is to die for.

I had the opportunity to dine here with a few colleagues during my lunch break. Seating was quick and Isabella served us well even checking in with our table often to meet our needs. The Cuenelli Bowl was a bit underwhelming and didn't seem to have much chicken under all the shredded lettuce, but my co workers enjoyed their rotisserie meal and 2 sides. The staff are playful and engaging, especially when my co worker got out of his seat to attempt the salsa. The cook from the open kitchen shouted, "No -wrong. Wrooong." Lol Unfortunately no one offered a tutorial on how to do it correctly.

In search of Green Rice for my wife we were told about this place. It had a fast food vibe and an open kitchen but there were servers for the tables. On Hillsborough Ave. and Old Anderson Rd. they have their own parking and the place is new to me, I had not previously noticed it.We ordered a family meal with three sides. Cilantro Rice, Roasted Chicken, Black Beans and Fried Green Plantain. The food was excellent, from the chicken that was plump and juicy to the wifes flavorful green rice which paired well with the beans.We could not enjoy the meal due to the air conditioning which blew rigorously from above the entire time. There was no escaping it. We put our food aside as it got cold right away and had dessert instead. Their flan is fantastic, but the Mil Hojas was bad. They were aware it was bad but served it anyway. We took the food home to warm it up and we enjoyed it immensely.So, as recommendations go, the food was great. However, unless they have addressed the A/C issue, I would get it to go. It's a very limited Peruvian menu with many of my favorites missing. There was no seafood.

We recently enjoyed Portuguese roast chicken while on vacation, so I came back on the hunt for a local spot that could provide a comparable bird. I didn't find a Portuguese spot, but I did find this Peruvian spot in Tampa, Cuenelli's. It was my first time visiting and certainly won't be my last. We walked in and basically had the place to ourselves for a late lunch on Saturday. We were greeted and seated immediately. We looked over the menu and decided to split a whole roast chicken and started out with an appetizer of yuca a Ia huancaina.Our food came out quickly and it looked good. The bird had a gorgeous color and crispy skin. The yuca a Ia huancaina was fried yuca sticks covered in a spicy cheese/cream cheese sauce. It was our first time having it , but we absolutely loved it. After we polished that off, we tore into the bird. The chicken was super tender, but still very moist. The skin had incredible flavor. We both really enjoyed that chicken. It was served with aji sauce, but it didn't need anything. Both sauces were exceptional and only added to the incredible flavor of the bird. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch. Service was good, food was incredible, and the value was surprising. Our tab was $22 for a full roast chicken and an appetizer. Hard to beat that. We will definitely be back soon. Solid chicken spot..

Chicken is great! Especially if you have specific food restrictions or on a paleo or keto diet. Only issue is every time I come here the women that work here are so rude. I'm ignored and have to get up out my seat to ask for something like a cup of water or simple napkin. And they'll just look at one another like "who wants to help her?". This is every time I'm there. Y'all need more training.

Food is pretty good, though the lomo Saltado we got was on the dry side. Prices seem to be a bit too high for what you get, don't believe the one dollar sign that yelp gives this place. Also, I arrived here a few minutes before closing time and they wouldn't allow me to sit in the restaurant to eat but that's probably standard for most restaurants so I ordered ahead and took it for take out.
