omg this hole in the wall is a gem!!! I've always passed by this place since I've lived in the area but never have gone to try it! But I highly recommend!!! I got the half chicken with yuca and rice as the sides and omg, it was so good! The chicken was definitely enough for 2 and it was so so juicy and yummy! Loved the flavor!! And the rice was so flavorful and complimented the chicken so well! I've never tried yuca but it was an interesting texture and taste! Will definitely come here again! read more

Hace un 1 anio que retorne a Virginia, a Annandale. He ido varias veces a este restaurant, pero el pollo, ya no sabe a Pollo a la Brasa, estilo Peruano. Dejo de ser rico, para ser un pollo mas, que podrias encontrar en Safeway, Giant o alguna cadena de supoermercados. Y es que segun tengo entendido, ya hace mucho, no tienen Cocinero Peruano. Y la receta, nadie te la da... gratis.!! Todos en este local son Centroamericanos, sin conocimiento de Cocina Peruana, una de las mejores del Mundo, segun las informaciones de reconocidos Chefs y Organizaciones. Estare buscando un nuevo restaurant cerca, pero que mantenga la sazon propia del Pollo, de mi pais. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for quite some time now. It always tastes great, food temperature is great! Maybe only one time did I have a soso experience because the rice was extremely hard and dry. Their yellow sauce is awesome too! As with any business, there is always room to improve. I think if they were more present on social media, Instagram, Facebook. It would look nice for the business. To me it would seem like they cared about the people and wanted the people to come in and try their food. I would recommend 10/10 to anyone who wants to try some Peruvian chicken! read more

Arguably the best Peruvian chicken around. We drive out quite a bit to get it. Both the yellow and green sauces are great. Geen is spicy and yellow is creamy. The chicken is always perfect. Seasoned and tender. The sides are the best--fries are crispy and the plantains are perfect. Good food all around. Never been unhappy about this spot. read more

We came here almost every week for dinner or lunch after getting a haircut next door. It was always delicious. We got the two 1/2 Peruvian chicken with fries and rice. They are all delicious and they are price decently. Sometimes we got a flan. Overall, we love this place and we try to come back here when we visit the DC area. read more

It used to be good flavor from chicken is missing something...ownership must be new...didnt even finished my plate

Chicken Pollo Restaurant is family-owned and operated and is located in Annandale, behind Le Matin de Paris. Their menu offers a selection in Peruvian chicken (1/4 chicken, 1/2 chicken, whole chicken), chicken soup, lomo saltado, anticucho, ceviche, fried rice, and sides (rice, beans, yuca, plantains, fries, tortilla, corn with cheese, etc.). My husband got a 1/2 chicken with 1 side to go (steak fries), that came with a cup of lettuce. He also tried the 'Corn with Cheese,' which was Peruvian (really big kernels!) with 2 slices of thick cheese. The chicken itself was roasted and had the familiar spices. The aji sauce was more on the thin/watered-down side, and had more of a mustard flavor to it. I wasn't a fan of the fries as they had a weird aftertaste (maybe it was not cooked in clean oil?). I was glad I was able to finally try this place out as this place is always jam-packed with the locals. +aji was a little watery read more

Came here after working out at the gym and was sooooo hungry I ordered a 1/2 a chicken, which I should have just stuck to the 1/4 white. You get salad plus a side dish (french fries or yucca), but I ordered double salad. I also ordered a side of plantains and I have to say these were the best in the area. I've tried many of the Peruvian places in the area: Super Pollo, El Pollo Rico, Edy's, Chicken Place, Crispy & Juicy etc. so I can say that this place ranks in the top 3 of Peruvian chicken places. You first order at the counter and if you want to eat in, they told us to go ahead and take a seat and they would bring the chicken to us to the table. The food didn't take that long and I personally scarfed my food down while dipping it in my favorite green spicy sauce because after working out, I was starving Marvin. I actually shared my plantains with my friend, but could have very well gobbled them up all by myself. The chicken was really moist and the skin was nice and crispy on the outside. The plantains were cut in good chunk sizes and were cooked to perfection. They were not greasy at all unlike some places in the area. They were perfectly delicious. I would totally recommend these for anyone that likes plantains. They also serve other dishes such as carne asada and lomo saltado, so I'll have to come back and give those a try. Overall, a quality place to get some good Peruvian chicken. I'll definitely come back for those plantains and try another dish based on my experience here. read more

I went during lunch hour. Chicken was not completely cooked. The French fries where burn on the outside but raw in the middle like when you cook it too hot too fast. Will not be coming here again Huge disappointment. read more

I ordered a chicken sandwich and it came with fries. My family and I choose to eat In and here there is no reservations or anything. You can sit where you like but also you need to make sure you have your number with you. The food was amazing and tasted delicious! The yellow sauce is obviously my favorite and I will most likely come back again ! read more

Can't go wrong with delicious, charbroiled, juicy chicken! 1/4 dinner is plenty enough for one person. I love the rice there and the special sauces are truly special but in a good way! I used to call this place my go to hole in the wall type of joint but now that they've spruced up the place, it's no longer run down ;( read more

Best Chicken in town (Period). Once you go Chicken Pollo, you never go back. DEA needs to investigate this place because I think they are putting crack into their chicken, or else it can't be this good!!! I can literally eat their chicken every single day. That yellow sauce and French fries... OMG.... This is better than any Korean chicken franchise in town (this is coming from a Korean guy). I'm a type of person who eats a lot but 1/2 chicken with rice and fries is enough to fill me up. Great price & great quality chicken. 10/10 will come back any time. read more

Chicken Pollo - (10/10) The best chicken in town. - Peruvian Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Our favorite pollo place. We order at least once a week. Food is always fresh and delicious. Annoying that you have to pay for each sauce! Please make a larger size. We always have to order 15-20 extra sauces. read more

Dropped by randomly on my visit to Virginia. Pleasantly surprised to find that this place had some delicious and juicy chicken. The sides, like the yuca, were fresh and on point. It may be some time before I'm back in Virginia again, but if I'm in the area, this is the place you'll find me. read more

I have been coming to this place for a while, but haven't been in so long. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with plantains and yucca. The chicken was absolutely delicious. The skin and meat was so flavorful and tender. The yucca and plantains were also very good. The pricing was fair, but the service was a little confusing and we got little guidance. Not to mention, the inside of the restaurant was also extremely hot, so we decided to eat in my car. Overall this place is very good if you're looking to eat Peruvian chicken, and I will definitely be back for more soon. read more

Chicken Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

The first time I had this was really good but subsequent times it got less good. The rice and beans are always on point though the chicken is pretty strong in spices and seasoning. The fried Yuka is good as well. read more

Good food. No heat . I would come to the restaurant but never eat here again until better heat is provided. I saw two portable heaters. But did not feel any change in the temperature. My suggestion is to call ahead with your order and pick it up and then go home (no tipping required!). I also think the kitchen closes at 8 pm (they close at 9). So all they had was my favorite the chicken...BUT I couldn't try their other food. My friends had chickens with the bones still showing pink... Is that OK? read more

I love this place. The best around in Annandale area. They definitely have a nice selection as well. I've tried a few things and so far no complaints. Service isn't bad at all. The place isn't but so big and it can get busy. You order your food at the register and you can either take it to go or if your dining in, they give your a receipt and they bring your food to you. The server are on point and friendly. Not bad at all. read more

I order from this chicken place often because the chicken is good. However, their customer service is horrible. Especially when it comes to online pick up orders. There has not been one time that I walk into the place to pick up an order and it is ready. Even though my app has a specific time listed. I at least wait a minimum of 15 minutes after walking into the store and one time I waited about 45 minutes. It is extremely ridiculous. I understand it is busy, but find a solution. read more

Always great chicken and sides. Been eating there for maybe 5+ years and have never had a bad experience. Great price for great food. Occasionally the wait can be long even if you call ahead but worth it. read more

best Peruvian chicken we've ever had. Cooked perfectly every time. And the green sauce is AMAZING.

When ordering carry out make sure you check and see if everything you ordered is there ...specially the two sauce! That's what makes the chicken taste really good. They ran out the spicy one and didn't tell me. Won't be coming back. read more

Best Peruvian Chicken in the area. They have a lot of side options. I highly recommend their ceviche. This place is really busy during lunch an a little difficult to find parking. read more

People drive from very far to get the best in Peruvian chicken. My husband is hooked and we get take out 4 days a week! Sure makes a great dinner. Can get crowded at times and has a line...you can call in advance if you know what you want to order and tell them when you get there you called. 703-914-5775 Good value for the cost as well! Patrice, Annandale read more

If I could give them no stars I would. There wait time is ridiculous, I went in for one chicken and 25 mins later I'm still waiting. Never ever going there again. read more

One of my favorite Peruvian chicken places. I haven't been here in years. I happened to be in the area and craving some so I stopped by here. As always there was a line but they do a very good job on keeping it moving along. I got my usual 1/4 chicken which comes with 2 side. Usually I just get to go. But on this occasion we dined in. They give you a number and bring your food out to you. There is a small seating area. It wasn't overly crowded. We were able to find a table right away and within minutes our food was out. The girl was very nice and got us waters. Food was just as good as I always remembered it to be. Meat tender and juicy packed with flavor. I love the rice here. If your in the area give them a try. Although they specialize in chicken they also have many other options. I need to frequent this place more. read more

Chicken Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Been going here since For 10+ years... Best Peruvian chicken and yuca money can buy. Don't waste your money going anywhere else in the area. Any of the 2-1 star reviewers on this place can suck a butt. They probably like going to Pollo Camparo where its MEDIOCRE at best. Overlook the small parking lot, less than attractive decor, and get some damn good chicken. read more

Super quick a great price, the chicken was delicious and kid approved! I'll definitely be back, it's a great last min dinner spot.

I if you want to sack a charcoal rotisserie chicken, lettuce salad, and super thick cut fries or plantains to bring home for little $$$, this is it. I've never eaten in, it seems the dining hall gets very little love -all around. Parking can be tough. read more

Delicious food! Loved the chicken and Yuka fries. Try's corn was HUGE and the wait wasn't too long. Would definitely recommend.

Great Peruvian Chicken, reasonably priced. Tons come here for the fresh chicken! Places to sit and simple. Atmosphere! 1/4 chicken and 2 sides = $7.99 read more

I ordered lunch for my workers and myself, but when I opened my bag they left put part of my order. I live 1 hour away, so it's not like I can just go back for a refund. So there service gets 0 stars. Food is meh. Once I get my refund, I will NEVER go back there. read more

I would never have imagined going to Annandale for Peruvian Chicken. But the truth is, I found one of the best Peruvian chicken places!! Their chicken was much more flavorful than all the other ones I've had (and mind you, those were pretty good already!) and very juicy, very tender. A lot of times, only the skin was flavorful and not so much the meat itself. This place, however, was for some reason able to make the meat underneath the skin flavorful! A+ They don't have a huge variety of sides, so this is the only upperhand that Super Chicken has. Speaking of sides, Chicken Pollo's rice is ADDICTING! I don't know what they put in it, but it has this delicious flavor that I just can't get over. I am committed to this place for life... if they keep up the quality :) read more

Sometimes you just need some hot, juicy chicken that isn't from your grocery store's hot food section. Chicken Pollo is always poppin' - the lines can get quite brutal, especially around dinner time. My parents have been coming here for years, and it's just one of those reliable places to go if you're not in the mood to cook. I see most patrons taking their orders to-go, but they do have a seating area around the back of the restaurant for those that want to dine in. For as long as I've been eating Chicken Pollo's food, I can't speak to anything on the menu except the chicken and the fried plantains. I would say that the chicken can be a hit or miss here. On some days the chicken is so juicy and flavorful, but on other days I have found the chicken to be on the dry, flavorless side. The fried plantains aren't my fave; they can be really coarse and difficult to swallow. I'm aware that plantains are naturally starchy in texture, but I can only eat the plantain's at Chicken Pollo if I cut them into tiny, bite-sized pieces. FYI -- extra green & yellow sauce costs 25 cents each, but if you're a heavy sauce user, I highly recommend paying the extra 50 cents for them. read more

Save your money. Bad service and hygiene to the max. Made us wait 20mins, screwed up our order, and dropped a to go box on the floor and still used it. Not to mention way to many people in there for the health regulations or covid. Then we're rude when we asked them to fix it our order. I asked the girl her name and she lied straight to my face and lied obviously. Too bad for her the recipient has her real one. Avoid at all costs would give zero stars if i could. read more

Literally the definition of a hole in the wall! Amazing chicken and all the sides are awesome too. Best place for a value meal in Annandale! read more

I'd say a generous 3.5. I haven't made the Peruvian chicken circuit yet, but this place seems pretty solid. Whenever I've passed it previously, it has been full of Spanish speaking people, and Sunday afternoon was no exception. Four of us shared a whole chicken, the fried yucca, and a flan for dessert. The chicken was extremely moist and juicy, although I think the meat was maybe just a little bland. The skin was really tasty though. Super crispy, salty, and delicious. The chicken was huge and there was still a good amount of meat left after everyone was done. The yellow mayonnaise sauce and green spicy chili sauces were pretty good, but even better mixed together into a new, creamy slightly spicy sauce. The yucca was a bit starchier and drier than I remember the last time I had it, but good with the dipping sauce. The flan had a pretty good taste, but about halfway curdled. Curdled flan (flan tasting scrambled eggs?) makes me a little sad, and scrambled egg texture with smooth flan texture is not a very good combination. read more

After a lackluster rotisserie experience closer to home, my husband insisted on a do-over the next week at Chicken Pollo. This is what I like in a rotisserie chicken. Nicely spiced, flavorful skin, juice meat. (cue salivation) The rice is tasty, too - surprising that hubs likes it as well as he's Vietnamese rice purist. They add some kind of seasoning to it that gives a little salty, sweet, something flavor to it. Yuca is yuca. I think these taste the same just about everywhere. These guys, though, have the best sauce. So good, hubs bought a jar of the green sauce to take home. Really well balanced. The parking lot is a pain to get into, but well worth it. We ordered a whole chicken, rice, and yuca fries for the two of us and had enough for a second meal. read more
