The nicest people and amazing food always. We tried their jerk chicken and it was incredible. One of our favorite places to eat!

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.

We love the food and folks at the 9th Street location in Durham! The food is so fresh, and I love that I can get a veggie plate at lunch to last until dinner. Everyone always laughs at me but I LOVE their fries..and green beans…and plantains are the best I’ve ever had. Seriously. 😬

I cannot get enough of their chicken, holy moly. Everyone is super nice, the floor is usually pretty clean and they’re never out of that amazing green and yellow sauce. I take my friends here all the time and they LOVE IT. We usually split a half chicken with 2 sides and a house salad and it’s the perfect serving. And their cilantro vinaigrette is 🤌🤌🤌🤤 highly recommend
