Amazing food and friendly service. We came as a family in ordered a variety of different dishes and every single one was great. Would highly recommend anything they have on the menu.

Had lunch with a friend here, and we were both impressed and pleased. The food was very flavourful, fresh and filling. The atmosphere is fine for casual or something nicer. It's an attractive place with a cute little bar. The lunch and daily specials are great value. It looks like they have numerous tasty offerings I'd like to try. Definitely recommend.

Overpriced. Too much blood in the meat and undercooked. Sauces are amazing but, they are smaller than a finger. 17$ for half chicken and 6$ for the half tomato, quarter cucumber and a little lettuce salad. I may not go back. They are closer to the Mall, that's the reason prices are a bit high, but I would pay if the food is good, but food is also just average. Not worth it.

My sister and I ordered quite a bit. She had the anticuchos - get 3 skewers decent size of cow heart pieces and some fried Yuka and a side aji. The charcoal/grill flavour was present though lacking in the marination flavour to the anticuchos. The aji compliment the anticuchos. May have needed more marinating time and salt. She got the quarter chicken with a side option of your choice, fries. The style is different and not quiet a Peruvian polla a la brasa. It was good. The skin was flavourful and crisp. The complimentary side aji sauce was delicious. I order papa a la huancaina, ceviche mixto (tilapia, squid, mussels, and shrimp), and aji de gallina. The papa dish - excellent! A different style and light medium sauce and taste the flavour. Though one potato slice had a brown core, hollow heart. I recommend the papa. The ceviche mixto was disappointing. The leche de Tigre was there but the tilapia had no flavour and needed salt and more marinating time to infuse the leche de Tigre. You had the canchitas, y camote. The sweet potato was buried at the bottom of the dish. It comes with a side of rocoto, oooh spicy. Presentation -10 points. My sister put an anticuchos skewer on the ceviche along with some yuka frita and it looks appealing. I look forward to another try with ceviche. The aji de gallina, the sauce flavour was delicious. Though the chicken meat seems to not have soaked up the flavour. The dish just made it to a passing grade. Request a container for the aji de gallina. Odered a cup of chicha mora and tasted more like apples and a bit strong taste of cinnamon. A different take on the drink. The experience was new and gave it a try. 4 and a half stars

Los Chicos in Markham is a Peruvian restaurant where the coffee is excellent, with beautifully frothed milk. The grilled beef heart is perfectly cooked and flavorful—a must-try. The seafood platter is generous and fresh. My daughter ordered ceviche, which included cancha, a type of crunchy corn nut. It was my first time trying it, and it has a texture somewhat like a mix of corn and peanuts—quite tasty. Their sauces tend to be a bit sour, so if you're not used to that, you might want to skip them. It's a nice little bar where you can drink and watch the game.

This was my first visit to a peruvian restaurant as I had heard alot about this place before but never tried, I must say the overall experience was great and their charbroiled rotisserie chicken, cassava chips and Pisco Sour cocktail was finger licking and delicious!

Really good food. I've ordered family meals many times but today was a date inside the restaurant and the ambiance is actually really good! Never had an idea! Food was good. We ended up having the lunch special so two chicken wraps with fries for me and fries and Peruvian salad for her. One thing we both noticed was the food was a bit dry. We would have liked it if there was a little bit of sauce. Also, cheese within the sandwich would be nice. But alas. Finally, with the greens they were a little bit wet and it got stuck in the back of mouth. That got a little bit weird as it just felt weird having there but yeah, that's about it lol Good little vibes here for sure. I should of reviewed earlier.

Very interesting food in South American Markham. I personally liked the chicken as well as the Jalea platter which is massive. Been here a few times and the food never disappoints, worth checking out if you want something non-Asian in the area.

Dined at Los Chicos for the first time. Overall the food and ambience were very good. Liked the music. Lively but not too loud. Ordered the Lomo Saltado, aji de gatlina, tallarin saltado, and the encebollado do pescado. All were tasty. The service could be improved upon. Tap water should automatically be offered once seated. Had to ask twice for water. We ordered alcoholic drinks at the same time. Three of us received our drinks shortly after being ordered. The fourth drink came with the main course after following up. Not sure what happened there but would have liked to enjoy drink with others, prior to meal. Will give this restaurant another try.

Shrink your delivery zone on Uber. Youre making drivers drive for next to nothing. Plus youre burning way more resources and carbon than necessary just to turn a buck... Shame shame... Food must be stone cold by the time it gets to your customer as well. Every order Ive seen is going DOWNTOWN TORONTO, not markham. And this is untrue. Delivery zones are customized by the stores, as are rates for thesw zones.... This is why you would never get a mcds or bk order going more than 5 km. But your orders are all over 25kms away with 1 hr of travel. No one in their right mind would order and wait so long for a meal... Makes no senae at all. Something else must be going on here. Attached is an example, over 1 hr travel time, WITH USING THE 407 TOLL HIGHWAY, which will take $12 of this trip alone. Youre absolutely lying, and I suggest you move closer to downtown if you want uber drivers to be muels for you.

Being a Peruvian I was thinking to not say anything bad about a Peruvian business but its sad I cant brag about Peruvian food here. Atmosphere is too dark. Service is ok. Food doesnt feel like Peruvian. Chicken is not better than Costco rotisserie, anticucho dry and not fresh , ceviche onions supposed to be crispy and freshly cut and not dead soaked , replace the 2 mussels for calamari. Dessert is not traditional Peruvian besides the icecream. Peruvian salad I have never heard of . Im sorry I hope the food improves and the business succeeds.

September 22, 2024

Waste of money. EXTREMELY slow and grumpy service, too! The portion of quarter chicken was TINY and overcooked. The salad? Overdressed. The yuca fries? Missing salt. Expensive and not tasty. SKIP!

Terrible customer service. Like absolutely horrible! We asked for cutlery and water multiple times, the waitresses are very very inexperienced and so impolite. We required forks and she literally just dropped a bunch (finally) on our table. Same with glasses and water I am not one to get annoyed with customer service easily, but if it s that bad, it needs to be written down so the restaurant actually does something about it to improve themselves. Speaking of the food.. we got the fish ceviche, it was good but came with nothing to eat with.. I m use to plantain chips or even nachos. Something! We also got a whole chicken and it was extremely dry and they re very stingy with giving extra sauce.. so we had to ask multiple times and they would only bring one small little amount.. with such dry chicken, more sauce is definitely required! We use to come here years ago when they were at Markham and 14th and they ve really gone downhill since then. It s disappointing

Very over priced for no reason, Ive tried same food other places with much less priced and it was great experience, as one example Henrys chicken in east York which is peruvian and served the same way for half the prices, family owned and great service. I will not spend double the cost in this joint.

What a disappointment. Took a friend to try some Peruvian food after bragging on how good it is, because of the closing time, it was take out. Ordered tallarin saltado and pollo a la brasa. The tallarin was really spicy ( Im Peruvian and can handle the heat, they dont eat spicy food) But it wasnt just a bit spicy, nor is this dish supposed to be. Sadly, they couldnt eat the meal. The chicken was bland, definitely not pollo a la brasa but more of a smoked flavor to it. The sauces were really watery. The quality of what it used to be, no longer is.

I had the opportunity to go to Chicos to eat and it was truly an extremely satisfying experience; All the staff are very nice and everything on the menu sounded delicious, I tried the lomo saltado and it was spectacular, just right! It had a flavor that I will always remember. The Caesar salad was delicious and the chicken was very well seasoned If you are thinking of going, I highly recommend the passion fruit ice cream and the ceviche, they delight the palate!! . I will definitely return and try more of the menu.

So disappointed! This used to be a favourite spot of mine for Peruvian food. Since my last visit the portions of everything seem to have shrunk. I ordered a half chicken + side. The chicken was pretty dry and I could only get it down by drenching it in their sauce which is the only thing I liked. The yukas were really sad, soft and mushy. Will not be coming back any time soon

I was expecting a mindblowing rotisserie chicken given the chicken costs . When I got home and was anticipating my meal my husband and I realized the chicken was still pink and wasnt cooked through . I am literally on the toilet writing this review right now as you image how my tummy feels . I would not patronize this establishment again .

I was in the area while my car was at the mechanics, and stopped by Los Chicos for lunch. The gentleman working, presumably the owner, was very helpful and transparent with some questions I had. I ended up ordering the Lomo Saltado (Sautéed AAA sirloin with fries and rice) and it was absolutely delicious. All the flavours went together really well, and the portion is huge. Ill definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. Dietary restrictions: Halal

Food could be better . But its good enough for something, not 100% Peruvian. Some of the dishes are americanized for sure . The vibe is great. Food is a bit overcharged. Service takes a while when busy . Understaffed for rush hours . Parking: Hard to find parking . But its possible Kid-friendliness: No changing rooms in either washrooms making it extremely hard to dine in with babies or toddlers . High chairs available Wheelchair accessibility: No wheel chair access . The door is hard to open . But there are no stairs .

I called this restaurant a couple of minutes ago to find out whether they were hiring or not, but they responded to me very badly and told me never to call us again! I am sorry for their customer service. -------- it is your response --> Thanks for the response. While I appreciate the advice, lets get one thing straight: speaking to potential employees or customers rudely is not acceptable, regardless of the circumstances. A simple were not hiring would have sufficed. But hey, Im glad to see at least someone in your establishment knows how to talk to people. Maybe the rest of your staff could learn a thing or two about basic manners

Had high expectations but dinner was disappointing. We got the tilapia ceviche, two chicken meals: one with yuca fries and one with caesar salad, and a pisco sour and a chicha sour. The drinks were excellent, we really enjoyed them. They were made well and reasonably strong. Unfortunately that was probably the best part of the meal Tilapia ceviche was way too sour, I think they added too much lime juice to it? It wasn t very cohesive, I m not sure what the mussels, corn nuts, sweet potato and one random lettuce leaf had to do with the ceviche. It looked pretty but tasted overly sour and the individual elements didn t really go together. The portion was big though so that s a plus. My quarter chicken with caesar salad: the chicken was good, well cooked and seasoned. The salad was much too salty, I m not sure what caesar dressing they used but it was not good. Not only was it overly salty, it wasn t creamy either. Costco makes a better caesar salad My husbands yuca fries were fine, but they weren t anything to write about. Aside from the drinks and the chicken itself, I didn t like anything else. Also, they had poor ventilation so now my hair smells strongly of grilled meat.

Edit one year later: Based on the restaurants response, I did take out the time to email them my detailed constructive feedback. This was a year ago. I have never received any response. Posted Earlier: Was expecting a bit more from this place after all the great reviews but I had an underwhelming visit. First off, its Peruvian cuisine which I had never tried before so I was excited. However the food seemed just like regular fast food. It tasted good but it was nothing I would go back for or found very different from American fast food. On the ambience side, the place has a good, happy vibe with nice (spanish?)music. I was surprised by how small the place is - I think they have just 4 or 5 tables. Service personell were friendly and professional but it took time to get their attention and I dont recall anyone checking to ask if everything was alright once we were served.

Never had Peruvian food before and heard this is a location that is halal. The atmosphere was a nice vibe and enhances the dine in experience. I order the Lomo Saltado with the Yuka Fries. The portion was more than what I expected (I can t complain though). It s great for two people or if you are really hungry. The upgrade to the Yuka fries is a must as it absorbs the sauces from the dish. The dish is a bit on the saltier side so the rice and the Yuka fries is a good balance. I do wish their was more meat added to the dish, but $30 in this age it s a great deal for this dish. The two sauces I got included and really go well with the dish, nothing that I ever had before and spicy. Service was great. I will definitely be back.

I invited my family to eat Peruvian food at this place and the dishes really were a disgrace. The lomo saltado was without juice and cold, the rice with seafood tasted like smoked rice with a wheat flavor and the worst thing is that I saw more rice than seafood. And finally the fish crackling was the most horrible thing I ate, it looked like wet cardboard with no flavor at all. (the only thing that was decent was the anticucho and the ceviche)

Our family has been coming here for a long time; my husband is Peruvian and Los Chicos makes some of their favourite dishes that are authentic to what theyre familiar with. Most recently, we booked the restaurant for a family celebration and the staff were great and attentive and the food was on point as always. Top recommendations: Jalea platter is a musssst but will fill you up if you dont have at least 4 to 5 people to share it with. Ají de gallina if you enjoy comfort food with some spice, same with their Arroz Con Mariscos.

Poor extremely slow service. 45 mins since we ordered and not even appetizer came. No drinks nothing! We walked out didn t even get an apology for the poor service. Only 5 tables and they couldn t even keep up with that. Very dissatisfied and disappointed EDIT: I had to edit the review based on the owner reply. First of all, we ordered passion fruit drink, an appetizer and two main courses. It wasn t our mistake that the order was taken wrong. The server didn t write anything on a paper, he just took order without writing anything. So I m guessing he took the order wrong. Secondly, we waited exactly 45 mins and there were only 2 more families that needed to be served beside us. Everybody who came after us was served except for us! Pls don t make assumptions and excuses! Atleast own up to the mistake rather than writing wrong information Poor service

A friend and I went out for lunch for Peruvian on a whim. This was a fantastic experience. Our waitress was incredibly nice to put up with our questions and give us all sorts of recommendations. The food portions were large for the pricing, and the variety of new foods was awesome for someone who had never had this before. The Inca Soda was neat, and I even had time to order desert which was a huge ice cream portion with three different flavours. Incredibly clean and well designed dining area! Ill definitely be bringing my kids back here some day to let them try it.

It was our first time trying this restaurant. We ordered the family meal which included: 1 Whole Chicos chicken, 1 large potato salad, 1 large Yuka, 1 garlic bread, 2 hot sauces and 2 mild sauces. The food was delicious, the chicken was moist and flavourful, the potato salad and Yuka tasty. Will definitely come back again.

Dear fellow eaters and Los Chicos, I want to say I am very disappointed and upset with my food. It is difficult to justify a price point of $18.00 when the quality provided is inferior to that of a local fast food restaurant. As a longtime supporter of Los Chicos, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of their take-out offerings. Despite bringing to their attention the presence of cartilage in my sandwich during a previous order, I was disappointed to find another large piece in my recent burger. This raises concerns regarding the attention to detail and quality control in the preparation of their food. In addition to the issue with the cartilage, the presentation of the burger was disappointing. Upon opening the box, I was taken aback by the haphazard assembly of the chicken breast with soggy vegetables between two buns. The chicken breast was lacking in quantity and taste, leaving me unsatisfied and still hungry after consuming the meal. This experience was a far cry from the Los Chicos I remember from their early days near Markham. The current state of the food lacks the soul and quality that initially drew me to the establishment. Regrettably, this will be my last order from Los Chicos, as I cannot justify the expense for such poor quality food. As an unsatisfied customer, I feel that my experience was a poor value for the price paid, and I could have received better satisfaction and value from ordering a pizza from a different establishment. The pictures I have attached speak for themselves. My order was placed through their online website on March 21st, 2023, with the order number #2121, and the pickup was scheduled for 8:00pm. Update: I connected with the owner of the restaurant and offered my money back for the food :) Raising the stars up by 2 due to the quick communication.

Excellent place to enjoy the Peruvian cousine. The flavour and size of plates are very satisfying and the price is fair. The cebiche of tilapia was very good, it didnt make think in the Corvina or Mero fish ones, it was good. The pollo a la brasa was also very good, the yuquitas were the best side. And the chicha morada was also very good. Definitely a recommendable place for the nostalgic ones or for anybody who wants to enjoy Peruvian food.

Went in waited to be seated like for 10 mints, nobody acknowledge my friend and I, so we just walked into the tables area and it was really crowded and tables one beside the other, no space in between practically; so we decided to go back to the front to order to go and stood there for at least 20 mints, if not more, nobody helped us, no one was around. We were really dissapointed not to be able to eat peruvian but honestly the place was a mess and no one caring to take care of customers.

Yesterday I was able to visit this restaurant again. Which, by the way, looked more like a bar because of the excessive volume in the environment. We asked that the volume be lowered because my daughter does not tolerate loud volume levels due to medical conditions. They made us believe that they lowered it and the volume remained the same despite changing rooms. table. I couldnt consider it a family environment. The lack of empathy from the manager at that moment when I approached him to try to explain the need to have the lowest volume out of empathy for my daughters medical condition, which at that moment I preferred not to give explanations when I saw that he only responded that his nephews were going. and they were happy. The chili peppers were spoiled, I dont know what happened to the place but I can see that it is having very bad management!

Delicious, fresh, food with unique and authentic Peruvian flavours. Felt like we were in Peru again. A must-try is the Aji de Gallina, which is pulled chicken breast with a creamy and flavourful Aji Amarillo pepper sauce - fantastic! The best Ceviche around - just like in Peru. Yucca fries and their secret green sauce, are yummy and different from regular potato fries - def try them. Homemade ice cream flavours were a cool surprise and very tasty. Service was excellent. Supporting our local businesses! Wheelchair accessibility: All one level

Poor service to the costumer, small portions and they serve the grilled chicken (pollo a la brasa) with frozen French fries. Then the ceviche was tasteless and when we asked for more spicy sauce they said there was no more spicy sauce in the restaurant. I don t recommend it.

This was a bday dinner celebration. First thing was that they didn t have any scallops, but failed to mention it until I brought it to the waiter s attention. When I told him that none of the meals had scallops like the menu said, he told me very rudely to let him speak and then stated that he didn t have scallops so they gave me extra shrimp. This was ridiculous because he gave me 3 shrimps in the linguine and we also ordered the big platter of seafood that was tasty yes but didn t have any scallops like the menu said and they barely had any shrimp. I didn t like the waiter s attitude when I told him because he didn t tell me when I ordered that there was no scallops and didn t bother to apologize for being misleading and didn t ask if I was satisfied with my meal. It was a take what you get kind of deal and I didn t like that at all. I wouldn t recommend anyone coming to this restaurant as the waiter is very rude and the customer service is terrible!

December 22, 2023

What a disappointment. Chicos is my go-to when I have out of town guests. They dont have chicos in the UK. The yuca fries were dry and rock hard. The French fries soggy and limp. Worst was the chicken. Whered all the flavors go. It was tasteless and undercooked near the bone. We ended up throwing most of it away.

There s something special about this place. As soon as you enter, you can smell meat being smoked, and you re greeted right away. You go through this beautifully designed hallway and you re automatically in a new dining setting. The design is easy on the eyes and there s so much to look at, all at the same time. The menu: I had a really hard time picking a meal. Why? Everything sounded amazing. This menu was well crafted and portion sizes are superb. The drink menu alone is extremely authentic - I suggest you go for the passion fruit drink! Service: the bar tender/waiter was extremely helpful and took amazing care of us. Very welcoming and very warm atmosphere. I ll be back. I need to try the steak and seafood. This is a must in my book. Such a unique find in Markham. - also, they imported their oven from Peru to give you an authentic taste of their 24HR marinated meats! Thank you for all that you do, this restaurant is amazing.

This is based on Long term review. I have been a customer for years and I have recommended this place to others as well. If you re dinning in you will get the full experience, everything is great, but keep in mind is a small place, so space is limited. Call them ahead of time during busy times. I have never had to call in, because we dine in when is slow. If you have any issues with the food or w.e the case may be, you can always talk to them on the spot, but you won t need too because they make sure everything is good as most of the time the owners are on site and they have good customer service. Take out is a total different experience as you want the same experience as when you dined in, the issue is that is a hit or miss at times, not all the time. I ll just say this, before leaving the store always! I repeat alway! open the bag and check that everything that you ordered is in there. We had the occasional of items missing from the order. Gets annoying. Now the star of the review., When ordering chicken you want a Fresh chicken just like the dine in, the issue for us is that today we can get a whole fresh chicken and tomorrow we can get half fresh chicken mixed with an older cooked pre heated chicken. Nothing wrong with that, but the old and pre heated chicken wont have same flavour as the fresh chicken, that is juicy and tender!. You can tell when is too late. Customer service has being good, but you get the occasional new/older worker who hates their job, so don t take it personal, For the most part they nice. But you can always speak up or leave a review. I gave them a 4 star as they have room for improvement. So I can come back and edit my post in the future. Also side note. Chicos Brasa Markham although they have another location in Vaughan, do not expect the same service, food taste and experience. The only thing that they share is the name. Chicos Markham I would say is more upscale (then again they target a different demographic, and the Vaughan location is GHETTO, just read the reviews and see the ratings. I tried them both so I can speak from experience.
