About

YUNTA ( Yoon-tah ) which translates to “FRIEND” is derived from Quechua, the native, ancient language of the Inca Empire of Peru. The yellow sun represents a modern take on the golden sun temple known as ‘Coricancha’ – the most important and influential temple of the Incan empire. The meaning and philosophy of YUNTA are “friends” or “friendship”. The spirit and culture of YUNTA are happiness, gratitude, and generosity, all of which are ingrained in the core of hospitality veterans Randy Garcia and chef Bruno Macchiavello. In 2013, the two restauranteurs opened Viva Chicken, a Peruvian rotisserie concept based in Charlotte, NC that quickly created a cult-like following. Both founders believe YUNTA is the next natural progression of their vision to showcase the variety and depth of Peru’s gastronomy, known to be one of the best culinary destinations in the world.
