Solid RVA pick - every.single.time. Great chicken, great steak, great yuca. Service is fast, restaurant is clean. Well located near Scott's Addition. Parking is easy. Go, you won't be disappointed.
Chicken Fiesta is the go-to for rotisserie chicken in the Richmond area. It's a casual restaurant where you order at the register and sit wherever you please. Service is fast. The chicken is flavorful and usually tender, though the most recent time it was on the dry side. My go- to sides are the yucca, which is cooked to a nice crisp, and the rice, which is fluffy and buttery. I also like to get the fried plantains at an up charge sometimes and they add a nice sweetness to the meal. The meal comes with a green sauce that is spicy and flavorful and a yellow sauce that is more creamy and citrusy.
Saw great reviews for Chicken Fiesta so decided to try it myself. I had a great experience here! It's a fastfood restaurant with plenty of seats inside and outside. Parking was not a problem as there's a lot beside it. Service staff were warm and friendly. Since it was our first time trying yucca fries, they even gave us 2 pieces to try with their sauce. Yum! It was great! We were advised that the grilled salmon will take at least 20 minutes to prepare which was fine. The food was great, flavorful and affordable! Got 1/4 rotisserie chicken and 6 oz steak with yucca fries and coleslaw. The chicken and steak were so flavorful! The chicken sandwich combo was also good. The grilled salmon with tossed salad and rice was not as flavorful as the chicken and steak but it was fine. And there are the desserts. Y U M. The tres leches and flan were great! Will try the fried ice cream next time. Giving this place 5/5 for great service, comfort food, and bang for your buck!
All-in-all, in patronizing Chicken Fiesta over the years, I love this place for a quick healthier-than-not tasty meal. Their chicken is a staple for a reason. Other items can be hit or miss, e.g., their ribs and steak/carne asada can sometimes be dry and tough, other times it's perfect. I also love tamales so I'm happy you can get it two different ways. Lunch hours seem to be their busiest so I prefer to go for dinner. I sometimes get their food via Doordash and never really had any significant issues other than a missing drink or something minor. They're quite efficient with delivery.
Chicken Fiesta is one of my all-time favorite fast food restaurants (though their rotisserie chicken is so good that I don't even think of it as unhealthy fast food). I love to get the yucca fries on the side. Literally when I feel like I can't decide on a restaurant, I always end up going to Chicken Fiesta as their rotisserie chicken never disappoints. Service is relatively fast. I usually order takeout, but restaurant seems clean inside. I love Chicken Fiesta!
I eat at chicken fiesta at least 3x a week. I usually get the chicken. Which I absolutely love. Typically I'll get rice and plantains with it. Never had an issue. This night I decided on the salmon. It was edible but definitely overcooked and dry. I'll stick to the chicken. But if you've never eaten here the chicken is the bomb. The chicken soup is delicious too. Service is ALWAYS really good. A family style restaurant so feel free to bring the kids. Highly recommended.
The chicken Fiesta chicken is always a hit with my family and my wallet!! Budget friendly and delicious!!!! The portions are big. The yellow and green sauces are also really great additions to whatever dish you order. The customers at this location can be a little sketchy. When we recently went there was a drunk roaming around the dining room harassing customers. The police were called and got the situation under control. Just be aware these kinds of scenarios may happen because this place is so close to the city.
I normally love chicken fiesta, but it was absolutely disgusting this last time. The beans tasted like dirty water and the rice had no flavor. I ordered a carryout meal and I would've driven back to complain, but the restaurant had closed.
Was craving for a burrito so we tried Chicken Fiesta. It was very busy inside, I wasn't expecting so many people to be dining in, I had always thought this was a more take out type place but the inside was very inviting. We got the grande burrito and chimichanga to go. The food held up well on our drive home (about 10 minutes). The car smelled incredible and I couldn't wait to see if the food tasted as good as it smelled. The grande burrito was jam packed with lots of chicken, rice, sour cream, pico and guac. I really enjoyed the rice that came with the chimichanga, it was very flavorful. I love Peruvian chicken, the flavor really came through in the burritos. My favorite addition was the 4 extra green sauces. Perfectly spicy and added a little extra moisture to the burritos. Will definitely be back to try the enchiladas/ taco next time!
Came here for lunch and got the steak enchiladas. There was another extra $1 surcharge to get steak in it. There was a good amount of cheese on top of the enchiladas but not much enchiladas sauce. The steak was fantastic as always here. The rice was good and came with pico and sour cream. Personally not a fan of the beans here so I didn't eat them. Overall a quick and fast place to get Mexican food. I would suggest the chimichangas over the enchiladas. I ended paying $14 for just the enchiladas which is a little on the higher end but still good enough to satisfy the craving. Food: 6.3 Staff/service:n/a Value: 6.5 Overall: 6.4/10
Although Chicken Fiesta is not my preferred restaurant for rotisserie chicken (I like Canastas and DC Charcoal), their other offerings are what keep me coming back! I always get the Taco or Chalupa salad with Steak and Chicken and it's always so so good! Today, I also got a single beef taco and that was really good too! I do think they cook their beef with olives and I hate olives, but olive taste is very mild. The restaurant is also ways clean and service is always great as well. I love Chicken Fiesta and definitely recommend you try it.
Reviews are largely positive. Diners praise the flavorful chicken, generous portions, and friendly and fast service. The clean restaurant and tasty yucca fries also stand out.

If you know, you know. Chicken Fiesta is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. I don't care how many fancy places open up; nothing hits quite like this. Why I Keep Coming Back: The Yucca: Honestly, if you're still ordering fries here, you're doing it wrong. Their yucca is elite; perfectly crispy on the outside, super soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Dip them in their yellow sauce! The Sauce Situation: I'm obsessed with their sauces. The yellow sauce is liquid gold, and the green sauce adds that perfect spicy bite. I always mix them because why not? The Horchata: I'm not even kidding, I actually dream about this horchata. It's ice-cold, perfectly creamy, and has just enough cinnamon to make it dangerous. It's fast, it's consistent, and it's a Richmond staple for a reason. 10/10, no notes. read more

First received burned chicken as if that was ok. If I was working here and saw burned chicken I wouldn't serve it. We ordered a whole chicken with yuca and salad and mango juice. The salad for a whole chicken basically came in a ramekin and got 6. Individual pieces of yuca for a whole chicken that's crazy when I got to a true Peruvian chicken place you get a container full of yuca almost 10time what we got here. The chicken had only a smidgen of flavor on the skin meaning the chicken wasn't properly prepared seasoning wise. The beans had no flavor not even a taste of salt same goes for the rice the dipping sauce nothing to talk about it was subpar at best. All in all not worth it go to a true Peruvian place read more

I used to love this place but then they got political and incredibly tone deaf in their Instagram. Food is good, but I can't in good conscience keep supporting this business. read more

I've been wanting to try Chicken Fiesta for a while and am happy I finally checked it out for lunch the other day. My partner and I shared an order of the half chicken with a side of yuca fries and salad. We also ordered mango juice and a alfajor. I loved the half chicken we ordered. It reminded me of Peruvian chicken we would order growing up. It was cooked just right with great flavors. It was so juicy. The salad was very plain. The yuca fries here are the best yuca fries I've ever had. They're fresh, hot, and have the absolute perfect crunch. I highly recommend ordering them as a side. I loved this fast casual spot. There was a lot of seating available inside and outside. It's great for big groups or families. The people who work here are extremely kind. You order up front and get a buzzer to call you when your food is ready. My partner loved his mango juice. I wasn't a fan of the alfajor and plan to order the flan next time. They have great prices here. I can't wait to revisit to try more things on their menu. read more

Always a pleasure with service and food ! I ordered the 1/4 Rotisserie chicken with rice and pinto beans. The serving size is still a great portion. You can never go wrong with the rotisserie here. Everything on this menu is fire. Still one favorite locations to eat at in Richmond. Been a while since I've been here , will be here for lunch soon!! read more

I ended up here to take my daughter and nephew to lunch, and we all tried something new. I have to tell you, it was a great decision because I normally go to the w. broad location in the west end, but this downtown location didn't disappoint. We tried soft chicken tacos with rice & beans. My daughter tried chicken enchiladas. Both were extremely tender chicken cooked to perfection. The taco were stuffed tight in a rolled soft taco, same as the enchilada only that had melted cheese on top. We all felt stuffed and unable to finish our food, so we had to get to-go boxes for all the leftover rice we had. highly recommend this location. read more

I'd love to know how many times I've eaten at a Chicken Fiesta since they opened the first location on Midlothian Tnpk close to 20 years ago. The rotisserie chicken by itself is so delicious. Service is always friendly and fast - yes, I mean always. The tacos, burritos, and chicken sandwich they make from the pulled rotisserie chicken are also A+. The most important thing perhaps to mention is any customer would be amiss to not order a side of friend yucca. I personally love to cover everything on my plate with Chicken Fiesta's green sauce - it's the only thing that can make this delicious meal any better. Now with 5 or more locations in the Richmond area, Chicken Fiesta is one of the best things to land on Richmond in the post-2000 era. read more

I feel like a total goofball for not writing a review of Chicken Fiesta before! This is a regular go-to for both my family and my colleagues at work. I have never tasted a single thing from Chicken Fiesta that wasn't out-of-this-world good! Some of my favorites include the Chicken Padilla, yucca fries, the Chalupa salad with honey mustard, the taco platter (dont sleep on the crunchy beef taco!!!), and ordering either a half or full chicken for myself to eat over the course of several meals. I usually end up sharing my chicken with my son, husband, or both... but not without a little bit of reservation. Consider it my emotional support chicken. Make sure you get yourself some green and yellow sauce to go along with your order and you will be on cloud nine! read more

I'll be honest I have waited this place for a long time because it has chicken in the name and I am a vegetarian. But on Friday night I was so hungry and Mexican food sounded just right. So I went with my husband and knew they had at least one vegetarian option... And that's about it just one option, a veggie burrito. I was very impressed with the decor and the vibe inside, I always pictured it a little bit cheaper, but it was pretty nice. The food was very surprisingly delicious and I absolutely loved the rice and beans. Glad to know this will be an option in the future. read more

I'm a 14 year restaurant manager and this blew my mind. Ordered half chicken combo with an extra side item of the steak that comes with the quarter chicken and steak. Asked when ordered for it not to be cut in to pieces as last time it was horrible when chopped up as it's obviously chopped then cooked. Food came out it was cut up. The guy at the counter noticed it and went to get it fixed. 10 minutes later he walks out with the tiniest piece of steak I've seen saying his manager said this is what I get because it's a different steak. If it wasn't for already working all day I would have refunded my order and gone elsewhere (I've ordered this order 3 times now) first time it was a whole thin steak(amazing flavor) second time chopped and disgusting and third time now I've gotten a corner cut of the steak for an 8$ add on. House key for size comparison on photo. Management seems to be the problem. Guy at the front was great and did try read more
