    For a while I've wanted to try this spot as I drive by the area regularly. It's South American Latin food. The location is great with comfortable outdoor seating when the weather permits and the decor inside is very welcoming too with a Latin charm to it. The beef empanada was good but a tad salty. Frankly both dishes I tried were a tad salty. Even though I didn't have the blown away experience that I had hoped for I'd definitely give the restaurant a second try. Maybe for the rotisserie chicken next time. I've had really great Latin food before so I won't give up on this spot just yet.

    Chicken, rice and red beans were hot and delicious.

    Paradilla Chick o Rico for two
    Jane Wood B.

    We had the Paradilla Chick o Rico platter for 2. Came with 2 sides. We got plántanos and house salad (which was very good and enough for 2. I loved the grilled steak and chorizo and my hubby liked the grilled chicken and black sausage and skirt steak. Anyway,we had plenty of food to take home after we finished our lunch every single item on the platter for 2 was super and it is my hubby's favorite restaurant now.

    A Peruvian and Colombian restaurant. The food and service here are amazing! The interior space is humongous and the interior design is inspired by architecture of Barranquilla, Colombia. Tucked in the corner of a large shopping center is this gem. There is plenty of parking and is accessible from two sides. There is a lovely outdoor seating area if it is a nice day. It is like you are being transported to South America after your first bite, taste like a home cooked meal. Everything is fresh and made to order. The rotisserie chicken was my favorite with the house sauces. The food is truly authentic with a lot of their menu items you cannot get from anywhere else in the area. The prices are fair as well and they have daily specials every day of the week. Highly recommend Chick-O-Rico if you are looking for some Colombian or Peruvian food.

    Soo good! I came here by recommendation and was so glad I did. I had whatever the special was. And the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

    This was a random lunch try but I left with knowing that I will definitely be a regular. First of all my service was amazing. Clarena was super informative and so helpful! She gave me a sample of their complementary juices, which I ended up going with the chichi Miranda and she also gave me a complementary piece of chicken because I was super confused on what to try if I could try the whole menu I would lol. But it definitely gives me a reason to go back. For my entrée I ended up getting the beef skirt steak with the rice egg and Yuka fries as well as the sweet plantains. Everything about this meal was so good. The steak came with a chimichurri sauce that I did not even need because the steak itself was seasoned so well and it was cooked wonderfully. I cut it with a freaking butter knife. That's how tender it was.! The sides were nice as well especially the plantains they were sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet which is how I like them. I am definitely going back!

    First time trying this spot and it turn out to be pretty good. Food has good flavor Along with reasonable price as well. The wraps are huge and you get nice addition of fries.

    The chicken makes viva chicken look like a joke. This might honestly be the best chicken I've ever had a Peruvian/columbian restaurant.

Great location in south end near the light rail. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were seated promptly. The restaurant is gorgeous! I was in amazement walking to my seat. The host was about to sit us at a table, but we requested a booth and were accommodated. Our server was very nice and thoroughly explained the menu. We started off with the empanadas and I ordered my first virgin "pinny yolada" :). The empanadas were mind blowing! They were nice and hot, flavorful, and absolutely a delight! We were so impressed, we decided to order the double fried wings afterwards. The wings were good and had an interested flavor with the tamarind. After the wonderful appetizers, it was time for the entrees. I ordered the short rib yuca gnocchi and my friend the arroz con pollo. On paper the gnocchi sounded sublime, but in actuality it was lacking a lot. The entire dish lacked so much flavor, even with hot sauce, additional salt, and lime it tasted bland. I was very disappointed. The empanadas and service were a saving grace, I ordered two orders of empanadas to go for my family. However they were so expensive. I paid $14 for 3. Even though I loved the empanadas, I probably would not be back.

The only complaint was the soup. It was well stocked, however lacked seasoning. Every other dishes was superb. Flavors were there. The sauces they offered were so delicious. I will definitely try them again.

I am usually seated immediately if table are open and they come to the table quickly afterwards. Kudos! I love their empanadas. They are smaller and use corn meal for the crust instead of being more like pie crust as Cuban style empanadas are. They have a fabulous breakfast menu but I usually go for lunch or dinner. They have daily lunch specials that are listed on the website. These change daily. If you want to get an overall feel for Colombian food then try the Bendeja Paisa. It has grilled steak, pork rind, sausage, rice beans, Corncake, sweet plantains, an egg, and sliced avocado. All of their Flank Steak and Skirt Steak dishes are fabulous! Two that I really enjoy are Entrana and Carne Encebollada. They have seafood dishes too. Cheers!
