The smoked chicken burrito is one of the tastiest dang burritos I've EVER had especially when paired with their house chili sauce. Also very reasonably priced for such fresh food. read more

Dined here last night with my parents. We really enjoyed the food here. Everything tasted really clean. I had smoked chicken with beans and pickled vegetables, and my mom had the same; we also split a salad. My father had the three tacos with smoked chicken. We all thought the smoked chicken was to die for, and we all enjoyed making our own tacos with the provided corn tortillas. The meal came with two salsas. One was green and delicious, and I've never had the red one; it was hotter, but really good too. The service was great here as well; it had a family-like feel. The man who took our order appeared to be the restaurant's owner, possibly, and was very polite and knowledgeable, and he helped us make sure we ordered exactly what we wanted. The food came out rather quickly, but didn't taste rushed. I like the restaurant's ambiance; it was cozy and comfortable. I think there's outdoor seating as well, but we sat inside. I ate here one time maybe 15 years ago, and after seeing the reviews on Yelp, I gave it another try, and I am very glad that I did. My family and I will be back to try more of your food offerings. read more

Casa del Pollo - Smoked chicken and beans - Latin American Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Good to know: you get a small discount for playing with cash! I forgot to ask the exact discount. Self serve station upfront for water. Family owned second generation with both indoor and outdoor sitting. Well I'm so regular here that Yelp doesn't let me upload newest photos... ummm how do I get around this? Anyway, summer didn't officially start until I made it here for my favorite ceviche and fried plantain with sour cream!!!!! I'm so glad I got to go on Friday 6/26/26 to enjoy my usual and started my summer break. I'm loyal and biased perhaps, yet I searched near and far and their lime-based tilapia ceviche is still the best I have eaten! You have to check them out and I welcome you to challenge me with your recommendations. One of these days I might and it's a big might to breakout of my favorite and order their supposedly expert roasted chicken and decide for myself if it lives up to what they say. Until then, I will vouch for their delicious lime based tilapia ceviche and will make the drive from SE Portland for it anytime. read more

If you are looking for tender, moist and tasty chicken go no further! They have smoked and roasted. Except for the burritos the menu is gluten free. When you walk in the door you can smell the deliciousness. We had the smoked chicken taco and arroz con pollo. Portions are very generous; the arroz con pollo was enough for two. Owner greeted us upon entry and explained their specialties. Assured us there would be no cross contamination. read more

One of my favorite spots in the area for lunch! The chicken is always juicy and flavorful however you get it, and I love the included salsas for additional flavor and heat as desired. Friendly staff happy to explain the menu, and food usually comes out quickly, even during the lunch rush. Cash recommended to avoid a small card charge. read more

Stumbled upon this place while I was in the area and wow, probably the best lunch experiences I've ever had! The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, and the beans/carrots sides were so flavorful! It was my first experience with Costa Rican cuisine and I can't wait to come back. The building itself is unassuming but when you're inside it has a warm, homely atmosphere. They had some cool books to look through while you wait for your order. Service was friendly and fast! read more

So wanted this place to be a slam dunk but it just wasn't. Chicken was unfortunately dry and there just wasn't enough flavor or sauce in the burrito. Was ~$34 for both. Plenty of parking. read more

I really want to like this place and have tried it at least three times. Unfortunately, the food is bland and anything but authentic. This is coming from someone who has made several trips to Costa Rica over the years and had everything from fine dining to street Maybe they've made it bland to accommodate the tastes of the Lake Oswego, but why not provide something authentic? Do not order the chicken tacos! They are pasty white and lacking in any type of color. If you request cheese, they heap on a mountain of white cheese and don't even bother melting it. The flour tortillas are gummy and flavorless. read more

This is the hidden gem of Lake Oswego, a consistently great food spot located in downtown Lake Grove. Their smoked chicken is divine, but I find mind self almost always ordering the Huevos con Salchichón (with tortillas on the side). You can tell that this is a family run business, it's evident right when you walk through the door as you see all the photos adorning the walls and the pride that they have in their country. The owners work hard to make sure each customer is satisfied, and Mario is great at remembering names and checking in with you. read more

We hadn't been here for a while and we were missing out! We forgot how good it is, totally hit the spot for a lazy Friday night dinner and the proportions are so good we have leftovers for lunch. Highly recommend this family run restaurant. read more

Steak Burrito with green and red sauce on the side is hella bomb! Owner is a super nice guy! So much steak and cheese! Make sure you ask for the crema. The black beans and rice are cooked to perfection. Great portion too! This is EASILY the best burrito in LO and up there with the best in the greater Portland metro area. Trust me I'm from the Bay, land of the chronic Mission burritos. read more

Chicken tacos are amazing. Great salsa too! Nice people. Will be returning to try more! read more

Amazing food, the chicken, burritos and plantains are fantastic! Staff is really nice too, and they're family owned! This place is awesome

The smoked chicken is always always amazing good. This time I tried the rice with steak and it's so good and the cilantro in it is so balanced and tasty. Really good food. read more

The service is excellent, the family that runs It is wonderful. We wanted to love it, but tried the rotisserie as well as the smoked chicken. The rotisserie chicken was quite good, but the smoked chicken was too smoked for us. The chicken is smoked to a level that we were not fans of. We like a nice pink smoke ring, but it was overwhelming. The cost was quite high for what we thought was mediocre. I feel confident that if you like smoked chicken, you will love this place, but if smoked chicken isn't your jam, you may not love it. read more

This place is a little gem! Slightly unassuming from the outside, but so cute and incredible food. Truly delicious! The server/manager was lovely and so kind. They have ample parking too. A must try! read more

Consistently great food, every time! Mario and his crew always deliver. Not fancy, just yummy Costa Rican cuisine in a total family atmosphere, day in and out. Pura Vida! read more

We loved this place--friendly waitstaff, excellent food. Our smoked chicken was very tender, very flavorful, came with cooked carrots that were amazingly tasty, and enough that I felt as if I'd had an honest serving of veggies (a rarity in my experience). Kid friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Very charming with a laid back atmosphere. Service was spot on and very friendly. They also have outdoor seating available. The menu also has an all day breakfast item... never know when you are craving breakfast. read more

The experience today, compared to when I was at their old location during Covid, was remarkably better. First, the service by Chris was great. Friendly, helpful and attentive. Next, the food. Tried a half roasted chicken (as I got their early and the smoked version wasn't ready yet). Wow! Tender with a crispy skin, black beans, rice, carrots and tortillas along with a homemade red sauce and a green (chimichurri) sauce. Finished with a great coconut flan that was creamy good. Take note: the chicken portions are huge - not the puny sized chicken you get at a chain. There is both inside and outside dining but you have to look for their sign as parking is in the back. Will be back. read more

Fabulous from start to finish. Smoked chicken to die for, whether its a whole chicken, tacos, or a delightful burrito, there's something everyone can enjoy. I personally quite love the homey atmosphere in the store, gives everything a made with love vibe. And of course, the chef is quite the kind soul as well. I highly recommend using the chili oil even with the higher spice content! read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday - we got Roasted Chicken Tacos, Chips & Guac and Margs. Everything was delicious and the service was great! Highly recommend. read more

Great chicken, great hot sauce and great personality. This is the place to go get a great piece of chicken and watch some soccer. read more

It's not very often you eat at an establishment for lunch and want to get it again for dinner. That was us on Saturday. The aromatic and flavorful food was unlike anything we'd eaten in a very long time. You'd close your eyes and could believe you were eating in Costa Rica. The service was outstanding and truly could taste the love put into the cuisine. read more

Moving from the south to the west was amazing, but the only downfall was the food so when you find really good food you have to brag. This spot has some really good food.. I had a combination meal of rice, chicken, beans, carrots, with sausage and eggs, and the hibiscus drink . The chicken was flavored unlike anything I've tasted it is a true testament to original and authentic cooking . I enjoyed carrots and beans thanks to this restaurant. The owner met me and took my order and was very helpful so the service was great. Overall, out of 100, I would give this place a 95! I would certainly come back. I encourage anyone who's reading this to give them a try. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. Also, this is written with a bias of traveling. I travel all over the West Coast and pretty much all over the United States and I eat out a lot. I would call myself a foodie. read more

Absolutely delicious. I had a smoked chicken burrito and it was amazing. The guacamole is delicious. Generous portions. Everything I've tried from here was really delicious. One of my new favorite places. read more

I love, love, love the smoked chicken! I have been 3 times in the last month and every time leave fully satisfied. If you are there on a night when they have ceviche, I highly recommend. read more

Came in with the family today. Have not been in for years since I changed jobs. Always enjoyed the food. The chicken tacos tonight were very good and filling. Service was friendly as before. My wife and daughter had the taco platters. The black beans are also very good. It was my daughter that got us to come out since she discovered the place with some friends. She absolutely loves it. The inside is nice, nothing too special. But this is not where you come for a fancy meal, just a good one. There are some tables outside in the back, that is where we sat. Good stuff. Recommend. read more

Looking for friendly family ambience and delicious culturally rich food? Look no further. We enjoyed every bite of our meals. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. The fried platanos the perfect salty sweet combo. The bistec was good and even better with the magic green sauce. The pork burrito was loaded and the size a small baby. We took desserts to go and can't wait to go back for more. read more

So I was in Lake Oswego for work after having moved to Costa Rica from the Portland area. I guess I was feeling a little homesick and, to my surprise, there was a Costa Rican restaurant just down the road from my office. I was blown away as I NEVER see Costa Rican restaurants in my travels. I stopped in and ordered lunch, choosing from the "Eat like a Tico" side of the menu. I ordered a traditional plate with rice & beans, also known as gallo pinto, and I got the roast chicken because I heard it was great there. OH MY GOODNESS, IT WAS SO GOOD. That chicken...seriously, the flavor was amazing, and it was cooked to perfection. And that gallo pinto was among the best I've had anywhere. Seriously, it WAY exceeded my expectations. Costa Ricans aren't big on spice or heat as a rule, and I've definitely had some bland "afterthought" renditions of the gallo pinto. This was not that. It was good as a stand alone. I had time to chat with the Tico owners and they were lovely as well and were very encouraging of my pitiful attempt at Spanish (I'm still learning lol). It was so much fun speaking with them. I will definitely be stopping by again next time I'm in the states for any reason. They are not to be missed. read more

Casa del Pollo - Pinto con Roast Chicken - perfection. - Latin American Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I arrived to pick up an Uber Eats order, and a staff member (possibly the manager/owner) was extremely rude. He greeted me with 'What are you here for?' (or something to that effect) and then condescendingly asked if I had a bag, giving me a dirty look. When I said it was in my car, he walked away, then returned to sarcastically ask if I planned to get it. As he handed me the order, he lectured me about keeping food hot, despite my car being just outside the door. I've completed thousands of deliveries, and this was one of the worst interactions I've had. Throughout the interaction, the employee's tone implied I was inexperienced. Therefore, I calmly mentioned my extensive delivery experience (over 6,500 deliveries) to provide reassurance, not to be confrontational. I understand that you're a business newly venturing into delivery, and you value the quality of your food. However, I want to explain why I believe the employee (or manager or owner) acted inappropriately. - HIS DEMEANOR WAS UNPROFESSIONAL: From our initial interaction, he was rude and condescending. - HIS QUESTION WAS MISLEADING: The employee asked (in a rude tone) if I had a bag, which is not the same as asking me to bring it inside. I do have bags (four - and certified with Uber), but that doesn't obligate me to bring them into the restaurant. I would have been happy to bring a bag inside. But that is not what was asked. - HIS EXPECTATION REGARDING BAGS WAS UNREASONABLE: Drivers are not required to bring bags inside restaurants, and at most restaurants, bags aren't required at all. There are several reasons a driver might not bring a bag in. Restaurants use various sized bags, and not all fit within standard hot/cold delivery bags. Pizza boxes are a common exception. Unless it's raining, it's often more efficient for drivers to transport the food to their vehicle and place it in the appropriate bag, rather than risk bringing multiple bags inside that may not be suitable. - HIS CONCERN ABOUT FOOD TEMPERATURE WAS EXAGGERATED: The time between my car and the restaurant when he handed me the food was likely only 10-15 seconds. His concern about the food cooling in that short time was a significant overreaction. - THE FOOD PACKAGING WAS INADEQUATE: If maintaining food temperature is a genuine concern, you should improve your packaging. My order that was handed to me was in an overfilled brown paper bag with a plastic bag layered on top for insulation. Using two separate bags and stapling them closed would provide better insulation. Furthermore, driver arrival times vary. If you're truly focused on keeping food warm or cold for delivery, investing in heating lamps, or heated shelves would be a more effective solution. Burgerville, for example, uses heating lamps. Cold items could be kept in a refrigerator or freezer until the driver arrives. - SHARED CONCERN FOR FOOD TEMPERATURE: Drivers share your concern about food temperature, as we are often unfairly blamed for issues stemming from the restaurant's packaging and procedures. These issues can negatively impact our ratings and tips. The assumption that I/we are indifferent is incorrect. read more

If you love ceviche and or tres leches cake they have the best!! But everything we have tried is delicious and the place is adorable very unique cozy and friendly. Love this place and ps the two hottest salsa best I've had anywhere if you like more than a little heat ! Oh and the hibiscus drink is really nice. . We add fizzy water (at home and take that to go) but either way so good! read more

Delicious authentic food and wonderful service! The place takes you on a trip to Costa Rica with so many beautiful pictures.

Still outstanding food and service. They've apparently moved from the Bangy Road place back to their old Boones Ferry Road location. It's actually much better as there is a parking lot in the back making it easier to get curbside pickup (which they are still doing). The Zuniga family own and run the restaurant and they treat everyone like family or old friends. They are obviously very proud of their food as the quality and care that goes into each dish shines through. The thing I like about it most is like they say themselves "our meals are light on grease and great on taste." The roast chicken is delicious and I still highly recommend it. The other Latin options on the menu are surprisingly healthy as well. DO NOT miss the green salsa, whatever you do. To steal a line from a current TV commercial "I'd put that $%#@ on everything!!!" This visit my husband and I ordered the same thing, the Casado con Pollo ($12.00): grilled chicken fillets (I got four generous boneless pieces) on a plate with rice, black beans & pickled onions carrots. Tortillas are available upon request and I always forget to request them. I had enough food for a nice big chicken salad the next day too. Once this dang COVID pandemic is over we have to go back and try the ceviche that is only served on Friday and Saturday. It's sad that some Yelp reviewers judge Costa Rican food as being bland. Costa Ricans love garlic, but generally go really, really easy on other spices. Nothing is overly spicy or hot (as in chili pepper heat). Costa Rican food is also very similar to Mexican food but very differently prepared. Just keep that in mind so you aren't disappointed when your "tacos ticos" arrive at your table as rolled corn tortillas, filled with shredded beef (or other meat filling), then fried. They are topped with shredded cabbage and lots of ketchup and mayonnaise. French fries are usually but not always served alongside. It's all good at Casa del Pollo. read more

I was looking for a Latin flair while visiting the Lake Oswego area and my daughter had said she had eaten at Casa del Pollo once before and the food was good. We did a take order. The order was ready in about 15 minutes. The order included a 1/2 Smoked Chicken Casado - It is a plate with rice, beans & pickled onions carrots. A Chicken Burrito includes rice, beans, and pico de gallo. A Veggie Burrito includes rice and beans and pico de gallo, with pickled onions and carrots. and 2 orders of ( Sweet ) Fried Plantains. This was for 5 people. The amount of food was massive. One order of plantains would have been sufficient enough. I'm a big fan of burritos. Each burrito we had was humungous. Never have eaten a burrito filled with tons of smoked chicken. It was delicious. I couldn't finish it. Whenever I'm in town I know where to head for great food at reasonable prices. read more

The service was good. Friendly people. But the food lacked taste. It was very bland. The smoked chicken tasted old.

went to try this place since I am costarican and wanted to have some food from home....we ordered the arroz con pollo which was tasteful just way to many veggies for my taste and no beans on the side which back home I am used to. We also tried the pinto, it was okay but it was lacking some flavor. My favorite was the gallitos de sarchichon, this was absolutely delicious and I recommend if you go here this is the must have!! read more
