This place was overall very good. A lot of food for the money and it tastes great, but a bit on the salty side (which was fine for me!)
There is ample parking here but it is a gravel parking lot with tons of pot holes, so low cars, beware!
I got the quarter chicken which had a ton of chicken. It was extremely well seasoned. I wasn't asked if I wanted rice and beans or fries and salad and the menu didn't say for the quarter chicken, only the whole chicken. But the rice and beans were very good. I'm pretty sure the rice is with tomato bullion rather than blended tomatoes, but they definitely added other flavors to it. It also came with two charred jalapeños and onions.
My husband got the carne pobre. This serving was absolutely gigantic. It doesn't look like a lot of meat, but it truly was. And it was not as charred as it looks. There was actually a mountain of fries under the carne and a huge scoop of white rice under the two eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection (again the meat was salty). The dressing on the salad was really delicious and lettuce was nice and crispy! It also came with a side of 6 or so corn tortillas.
The horchata was very good as well.
For the interior, there is tons of tvs everywhere, and the booths make me think this place doubled as a club at night or it was previously.
The staff was generally very nice but not very attentive (again not a problem, but it may be for some).
Would totally recommend!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 12, 2023
I've wanted to try the Peruvian version of pesto pasta for a while so i was happy to find this place! The place was clean with sparsely placed tables, harsh lighting and generally lacked any warm or ambiance. I think the building was a car show room in a past life.
The pasta was good. A bit overcooked and soft for my liking but edible. I really enjoyed the verde. It wasn't basil strong like its Italian cousin and packed a little more spicy heat. The carne asada was fantastic. Five out of five! The salsas were unique and both the green and yellow were great. I would have bought the yellow if they sold it separately.
I'd god back for the asada and yellow salsas! Be prepared to use your translator app if you want to interact more than just ordering food and a drink.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - 1426481963May 3, 2023
Needed some food before heading to the airport, and this place was close to the rental car return place. We love Peruvian food, so wanted to give it a try.
Empty when we arrived at around 3:30pm. So many things we wanted to try, but ended up ordering:
1) Anticuchos - 2 skewers served with corn and potatoes. The hearts were so flavorful.
2) Tallarin Verde w/ beef - love the noodles, and there was so much of it.
3) Carne a la Parilla - I wanted to order Papa a la Huancaina but thought that would be too much food. This dish comes with the Hauncaina sauce on the side, so best of both worlds. The steak was tender and very flavorful. Good with the rice and corn. The sauce, on the other hand, was a bit on the bland side.
Decent portion sizes and prices are reasonable. Enjoyed our dishes and wish we could return to try their other dishes.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 19, 2023Updated review
Not as good as it used to be since the move to the new spot. Everything was sort of just mediocre.

I wasn't like over the moon excited but I was excited. I am now over the moon excited for the next time I come here. The space is huge and super clean inside. Service is prompt and friendly. Food...wow. We split the half chicken and it was super moist and flavorful. I took my time to savor each bite. I thought the fresh salad was super good, even if it was just mayo on top :) the yucca fries were crispy and soft. I literally ate every single little bit (even the silly crispy pieces that were the size of an ant). I had told myself I wouldn't eat carbs or anything bad but I killed the whole plate on my own. - Erik s.King, WA7353Nov 30, 2022

They are BACK and delicious as ever! They just opened their new location:
San Fernando Roasted Chicken
16616 International Blvd
SeaTac, WA 98188
Get down there and get your chicken on! Bring cash this week. CC machines coming next week. Official Opening is next week, but they are open now. Typing this with greasy fingers. LOLHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - P S.Seattle, WA11525Mar 14, 2023
Parking is terrible! Their parking lot is small, and like everyone in the greater Seattle area, people take up 1.5 spaces for their jalopy like it's a Ferrari. It's not comforting to dine-in when you're worried about your car being towed cause you took the risk parking at an adjacent business. You are better off parking at the Tukwila - International Blvd station, then take the train to Sea-Tac station and walk to the restaurant.
Their food is just as good as when the restaurant was previously on Rainier Ave. My friends and I split a whole chicken and fries. Delicious chicken, well seasoned and moist with perfect crisp edge to skin.
I ordered a pork tamal for myself, but ended up having to share cause my friends liked it so much. There's a nice salty and bright flavor from the olives in the tamal and the pickled onions on the side.
We also ordered ocopa, also delicious with notes of mint and peanut. I should have got an order to-go, so I can sop up the green sauce with bread at home.
Would definitely recommend. Except be mindful of parking if you're driving. Also they are stingy about their house made sauce condiments, especially their red sauce that reminds me of peri peri. It's spicy and wonderful with any of their dishes. It's a limited commodity.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Kimberly A.Seattle, WA180167Dec 30, 2022
Friendly staff, DELICIOUS Peruvian cuisine. My husband is originally from Peru so we have tried all the Peruvian restaurants we have come across. This one is by far my favorite as far as the food goes. Give it a try for yourself!

I was so happy that San Fernando's opened up a branch near the airport. Much more convenient for me as I live in Olympia. And definitely worth the drive. I got the chicken, fries, yucca, salad and the papa rellana. All very tasty and the chicken was moist and flavorful. Everyone should go here. I don't want them to go away ever!

We ordered food to dine in. While waiting I decided to reask for a glass of water since they missed it when I asked for it when I was ordering food. They told me I had to pay for a glass of water because they close at 9. But it's 8:15 pm. Also, why wouldn't they tell us we couldn't dine in. I'll wait until I get my food before I post this, but I doubt I'll ever come back to be told I can't dine in anymore and I now have to pay for water, 45 minutes before closing.
