La Granja Restaurant Little Havana

A Little Havana branch of the Florida Peruvian chain, built around rotisserie chicken, rice and beans, and big family platters.

Checked October 2026

For a cheap, fast, filling plate of pollo a la brasa on SW 17th Avenue. It's a chain with a long, mixed menu, so stick to the chicken and the Peruvian specialties rather than the wraps and bowls.

The chicken order

Rotisserie chicken is the reason La Granja exists, and the menu makes it easy: a quarter, half or whole bird with any two sides. The specials bundle rice, beans, fried bananas and a soda, and the weekday lunch special gets you a quarter chicken with rice and beans until 4 pm. Sides run from black beans and yellow rice to tostones, fried yuca and garlic potatoes. It's a single $ on Google, and this branch holds 4.8 from about 940 reviews, which is a strong showing for a counter-style chain spot.

Beyond the bird

The Peruvian side of the menu is where it gets more interesting. There's fish and mixed ceviche, jalea, a seafood rice, aguadito chicken soup and huancaina potatoes, plus chicha morada alongside the mango and passion fruit juices. Desserts lean Peruvian too: suspiro a la limeña, alfajores and pionono next to the flan and tres leches. Skip the burrito bowls and fajitas unless someone at the table insists. Beer and wine are on the list if you want one with dinner.

Feeding a crowd

The family meals are built for groups: a half chicken, half pound each of grilled steak and pork, large rice, beans and fries, and four sodas, or a doubled version with eight. That's an easy order for a household or a hungry table without anyone negotiating. Hours are the same every day, 11 am to 10 pm, so it works for a late lunch or an early dinner any day of the week. Catering is available through the chain if you're planning something bigger.

Good to know

The quarter chicken lunch special with rice and beans runs Monday to Friday only, until 4 pm.
