Got a takeout at the wake forest road Raleigh location. The plantains were really good and the chicken made me want to cook chicken on the grill this weekend bc of the charcoal flavor. They have a simple menu to choose from and you can't beat the price. Will go back.

Started working in Durham and was looking for good places to eat. So once again I visited this site and read all the good reviews about this place. It was so nice to know that, once again, I got good advice from this tripadvisor. The chicken at Mami Nora's is great and my family loved the black beans! I have... More

I first discovered Peruvian chicken a few years back in DC, and have had an eye out for it ever since. There is no set recipe for the dish, so it will vary depending on whose kitchen is preparing it. Mami Nora's cooks their bird over special charcoal, having first marinated it in a mixture of herbs and spices, some... More

The place was great and up there with any Peruvian chicken place I've ever eaten! I'm glad we have such an authentic place in Durham!

Some said it looked like a hole in the wall with good food when I read other reviews. It was actually nicer than I expected. It's very clean, and decorated with a Latin style. The food was delicious. We ate very late after driving nine hours to get to Raleigh for a wedding. They were closing in 15 minutes, but... More

As others have said it's a bit of a hole in the wall. But as soon as we walked in we knew why this place is rated so high. Smells great and the food was great. Fast and cheap for what you get. 3 adults for under 30 bucks. I will be back!

As a frequent viewer, not as much reviewer, on tripadvisor I was skeptical to see a take out place ranked so high in a town with some excellent food with which to compare. Plus I live less thn 10 miles from the place and had never even heard of it until a few weeks ago. My wife and I went... More

I went there with my family last night and it surpassed our expectations. We went to Peru last September and the food at Mama Nora's is the real Mcoy.

I am from the DC area where there are peruvians chicken joints all over. Here in NC this is the first I have found and can honestly say it was better than any peruvian chicken ive ever had. My family and I loved it! We heart Mami Noras!
