Food is always good here. Friday for lunch they have special. Fish soup comes with a plate of fried fish french fries, rice and a salad - you have to too it off with sangria.

Second time I have been coming to this restaurant since quarantine started for my all-time favorite Jalea & Leche de Tigre. The service was fast and attentive, but the food was delicious! I understand that with everything going on, seafood dishes have not been the freshest in Other restaurant, but Here they are delicious and fresh! I have nothing to complain about their seafood. As long as they keep them fresh I will be coming back again for more! I also appreciate their outdoor seating, it is very pleasing for a late afternoon as the sun goes down and all you want to do is relax with a glass of wine.

My best friend was in the mood for Peruvian food and offered to treat......say no more, I'm in! He knew this place in Queens and I thought "I'm hungry why not local?" But who am I to complain when he's buying. I sat in his car while he drove to "Pollos A La Brasa" or Don Alex. He was able to find curbside parking close. We made are way to the angled building. It was different but looked nice enough. Heading inside I loved the look of the place. Valentine's Day is approaching so they went with a red tone and hearts. It seems like a nice place to take a fine young lady (wink, wink). So we marched in and were quickly seated. We had two beautiful woman serving us or so we thought. The service was terrible and they pretty much didn't show up enough, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We placed our orders and waited for something to drink. We waited and waited. At least we had the fried corn to keep us company. Finally we got our drinks and it was time for a little Peruvian dining. When the tostones came out I thought they were delicious. Similar to the way Puerto Rican's make them. I am a fan so I may have eaten 80 precent of them.......90 precent (Its okay! He didn't like them). When my chicken arrived I can tell you I ate 100 precent of that! It was tender and hot. The meat had some flavor to it and it was good. There was a sauce my friend kept using and he made me try. It was spicy but good enough to dip my chicken in. We asked for more and they brought it over. But they didn't mention they charged $4.50 for extra. (Come on). It's a coin toss if I would return on my own. If my friend invited me again I would say yes. But the service has to improve. Who knows, I could bring that special someone there and we might be hungry. They have time because I'm still working on the bringing someone part.

I'm not sure why all the bad reviews, I thought this place was fantastic. This was not our first option to grab food when in the area, but one thing led to another and we feasted at Don Alex. Best alternative decision ever! The restaurant was spacious and clean. The service was not the best, but that is my absolute only complaint about this place. I ordered the1/4 rotisserie chicken, which came out perfectly cooked and seasoned. Ask for a side of that green Aji sauce because that stuff literally tastes good with everything. My group also ordered a plate of loaded fries to share. The fries were glorious, it came loaded with hotdog pieces, drizzled in mayo, ketchup and cheese. Again, I preferred to dip my fries in the green Aji sauce. The fries were good for the first few bites, but then it got a little too overwhelming with all the sauces. I love this place and will definitely return. I highly recommend the rotisserie chicken-- one of the most well cooked Peruvian chicken I've ever had.
