Daily chop chop, quinoa salad with chicken and 1/4 chicken with tostones and Yuma fries were all delicious. Cilantro dressing was a showstopper. Service was excellent at the 9th street location!!

This is the best place in town to enjoy healthy and clean food. The dishes are never too greasy and consistently taste great. Our Hostess, Margarita, was exceptional - always attentive, positive, and energetic. Her attention to detail and outstanding service made me wonder if she was the owner! The cleaning staff, led by Nancy, was also impressive, maintaining a spotless and prestigious dining environment. I highly recommend this establishment!

We eat Alpaca in many different places. The Durham NC 9th st location is hands down our favorite. The staff there are outstanding! Tonight’s dinner was amazing thanks to Esteban, Andy, Jefferson and Margarita’s exceptional hospitality and superior service! Thank you all! See ya next time!

Fantastic chicken with the right amount of smoke! The green beans were tender but not soggy. The onions in the green beans were a nice touch. I loved the salad. Greens were fresh and the garlic dressing was awesome. I highly recommend the food. I had an extra dish to share and they were pumped when they heard it was from Alpaca. This was my first experience. Wish they had these in Charlotte.

Most delicious chicken!
Incredible fries!
Great black beans and rice!
Don’t miss out!
My nephew has been raving about Alpaca for a few months and I finally tried it. It exceeded expectations!
I went to the location near Duke. I love that they serve the food on real plates and they use real silverware!
I’ll be back the next time I’m in Durham!

This is just a great restaurant that is consistently 🔥🔥🔥. smoky, spicy, juicy, tender chicken. Insanely good green sauce. And the French fries are maybe the best I have ever had. And it is affordable and the people are great. I usually get a half chicken and double fries to go for $16 and that is enough for two meals. 💯

The best, tender, moist, and flavorful chicken. Perfect, I'm not sure what they do to get the flavor in every bite. I had the 1/4 white meat, beans, and rice and yucca fries. Busy place for a reason.

Margarita, Omar, Estefan were amazing. I was in town for a week long training and they catered Alpaca and from the first bite I knew I would be taking a large order back home with me. The restaurant is very clean and neat. The music adds a nice atmosphere, so happy it wasn’t the typical classic rock that’s in most casual restaurants in the US (yawn). Even when I reheated my food 3 hours later it was every bit as yummy. You must try Jerk Chicken Friday’s!!!

Fresh veggie options, chicken was moist and flavorful, rice and beans were prepared perfectly. Alpaca will be my go to spot in Durham when visiting. Awesome service, place was packed, food was top notch.
