Alpaca Peruvian Chicken – Capital Blvd

Alpaca Peruvian Chicken on Capital Boulevard is one of the Raleigh homes of a small chain built around Peruvian charcoal-roasted chicken. The business has been veteran, minority, and family owned since 2007, and that shows in how the staff talk about guests, as familia instead of customers.

Quality, respect, and gratitude are the values the owners name, and they apply them to each plate that leaves the kitchen. There are vegan and vegetarian dishes for anyone at the table who is skipping the chicken. The standing greeting here is vamos a comer.
