Really delicious Peruvian chicken and stellar sides! Each chicken plate comes with two sides. We got two quarter dark plates with yuca, plantain, beans, arroz chaufa. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, and all the sides were delicious and complemented the meal. Their sauces that come with the meals are also really tasty. Side street parking available, quick assembly line service, indoor seating and take out options. read more

Food was BOMB!!!! Oh my goodness. Portions were hefty. I got two quarter chickens (one white meat, one dark meat). The white meat had more meat but the chicken was a little dry. The dark meat was a little smaller (not noticeable) but the flavor was way better and it was moist from all the juice. The sides were so delicious- the plantains and yuca fries were everything! I'm not a fan of brussels sprouts because they can easily burn but the ones here were perfection. The green (spicy) sauce was excellent and the perfect amount of spice. The mild sauce was great with the fries. Service was exceptional- was greeted warmly when I walked in and was given explanation of ordering. The server even cut a whole chicken to show me what the portions and different part of the chicken was. Ambiance was inviting- there was Latin music playing, lots of light, and seating. Highly recommend read more

Chicken Rico - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Somebody recommended this spot to us, so we decided to give it a try. This is a busy part with paid parking on the Main Street. $0.50 per hour, but there is free parking in the back streets. ChickenRico is also busy, people come and go, some dine in others take out. When you walk in you place your order where the chicken is, not at the cash register. We made that mistake, and had to go to the end of the line that had formed in the mean while. There was no signage, so for people out of town like us easily make that mistake. I went for the 1/2 chicken with 2 sides, steak fries and green beens. The chicken is of great flavor, but not as juicy as I had in another place recently. The green beens are also tasty and great, as well as the steak fries, and the potions are generous. Chicken Rico is a good spot to try, personally I prefer a different place which I reviewed a few weeks earlier. read more

The chicken is consistently delicious and they have the best sides!! Try getting a mix of all the beans...

Ordered Chicken Rico for carry out on Grub Hub. Literally obsessed with this place. Got the quesadilla combo with plantains and fried rice. Came with SO many plantains. Price point was great for the amount of food. Came with salsa and sour cream and some spicy sauces. Thought one was guac- it was not and it was very spicy. Ha! Also had the fries which were kind of a flop. This is definitely the SPOT! read more

Chicken Rico - Quesadilla combo with plantains and fried rice - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is a casual joint where you can order up front and pay right at the register. The chicken orders are quick, but stir fry plates like Lomo saltado will take another 5 minutes or so. The half chicken order came with two sides and we chose yucca fries and plantains. The yucca fries had a good crispy texture while fluffy and chewy inside. The plantains were sweet and caramelized which was a good balance to the well seasoned (salt forward) chicken and beef in the lomo saltado. The stir fried beef pieces were super tender and delicious with the gravy soaked fries and rice. The generous serving size fed us three well with left overs. read more

Chicken Rico - Top : half chicken with two sides (plantains & yucca fries) Bottom : Lomo saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The service is excellent and the chicken is always tasty and tender. MY wife loves their fried rice!

Food was a 5, experience was a 3, so rounding up to a 4. We got here after the lunch rush & there wasn't anything fresh so we waited a few minutes before ordering. The woman who took our order didn't speak a lick of English so I struggled to order but we did half chicken white meat, with fried rice & fries. The chicken was extremely tender and seasoned to perfection. The fried rice was also very flavorful - fries were soggy and bland, but that's not at all what we came for anyway. The whole restaurant floor was sticky and the tables weren't wiped clean so that was kind of an ick for me but the price was good for the huge portion size. read more

Good, authentic Peruvian chicken. Take out was ready quickly. Prices were comparable. Not a standard Baltimore eatery, but the food is good which makes up for a lack of ambiance. read more

18 years in business and going strong! Amazing rotisserie chicken and the best plantains around.

Came in to grab some takeout last night and overall, it was a decent experience. We ordered a full chicken, fries, and rice for $25, which turned out to be a generous portion that left us with leftovers for the next day's lunch. The chicken was flavorful and the rice was well-cooked, considering the quantity and the value for money, Chicken Rico provided a satisfying meal. read more

The food is always sooo good. Chicken is moist, tender and flavorful. I can't wait for my next visit.

Chicken Rico is one of the first places my husband and I have come back multiple times after moving to Baltimore. Moving from the west coast that didn't have a ton of Peruvian chicken options, we were excited to be able to get some more readily when we were back on the east coast. Luckily, Chicken Rico is less than half a mile away from us. We have gone there numerous times, and each time it has been fantastic. We normally get the full chicken meal with fries and potato salad as well as the chicken sub. My husband can literally house almost 3/4th of that chicken. It has always been perfectly cooked. Not dry and well seasoned. The yellow sauce is creamy and delicious, the green sauce gives it a little bit of a kick. I weirdly love that chicken sub. The warm chicken with the cold tomatoes and mayo, just really hits the spot. And we both fight over the potato salad. It's our favorite side. It's located in a pretty busy area. We normally just walk over and get take out. The guys behind the counter are always super friendly and nice. We put in an order online and pick it up. It's a pretty popular place, there's always a steady stream of customers coming in and out. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years I absolutely love the food but the night shift customer service is terrible you for the last 3 weeks 1-2 a week I try to come and get dinner before 9pm which you guys have posted as your closing time. The store is always closed 15-30 minutes early now tonight April 28th @ 8:10 pm as I'm walking to the door they lock it on me saying they are closed if I'm wrong I'm wrong but 8:10pm is not 9pm can some one explain it takes me out of my way to have to drive to the Dundalk location but hey at least they stay open until there posted time and the service there is very welcoming read more

Me and my family have been eating here for years! I recently moved to Baltimore and my company ordered Chicken Rico for the staff. The first thing i said was this tastes like the one in Langley Park. I had no idea but I recognized it immediately because no other restaurant matches up to Chicken Rico's quality. read more

This review is overdue because we already had Chicken Rico multiple times. We had the one in Dundalk and Highland Town. Both are delicious. I just happen to live closer to this one. The chicken is always seasoned so well to the point that the flavors from the seasoning enters deep into the bone and cartilage. I love eating the cartilage from the ends of the chicken long bones and even that has flavor from the seasoning. The sides are always huge in proportion. Both of the sauces go well with the chicken depending on what flavor you are seeking. The yellow sauce has more of a creamy mayo texture which is good, but if you are in need of spice, the green sauce will do it justice. I would say that it can be a little bit more spicer but I am someone who likes spicy food. We ordered to go and we haven't been in the shop since COVID-19 started and they have plexi glass over the counter and all the staff members are masked and gloved. As we were picking up our food other people in line were getting their orders quickly as well. This is definitely a place to come back to! read more

The chicken is delicious each time. It's a can't miss kind of place. You know you're going to get a great meal eat time.

Everything about the food is great. This Peruvian rotisserie is juicy, tender, flavorful and fresh! Luckily when I went to get the food, a new batch was freshly out from their coal oven and so my chicken had that addictive coal smoke flavor in it. There are 2 sauces which comes at an extra $2 and I think it is worth adding those 2 bucks to your order. They goes so well with the chicken and actually lot if other boring food in the fridge. The rice in the combo platter was a great as well. Just with the right amount of zing. The plantain fries were too oily and sweet for me. read more

Chicken Rico - 1/2 Chicken Rico Platter - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Job treated us to Chicken Rico for lunch. The food was delicious however, they got my order wrong. We ordered through Door Dash, I ordered the chicken quarter- dark meat with fried rice, pasta salad and a half and half to drink. I received white meat chicken, potato salad and a Brisk tea lemon flavor. Once again the food was amazing, I was pleasantly surprised with their potato salad, but I was disappointed I did not get what I ordered. I would suggest the restaurant pay closer attention to group orders and make sure they are fulfilled accurately and update their website, so items reflect what they have. read more

Chicken Rico is a staple for catering at the Hopkins medical campus and now personally, take out during the pandemic. The Peruvian chicken is delicious, and if you love all potato-like items like do, the yucca fries are a must. Also, the fiery green and creamy, dreamy yellow sauce are seriously amazing. If they sold the sauce in a bottle, I would get it. The green sauce isn't that spicy to me (compared to other reviews) but it gives a really great kick. On top of all that deliciousness, the price point is fantastic. For $10-15, me and my boyfriend usually get a box with 1/2 chicken, fried rice, plantains, yucca fries and a drink that very much fills us up (with a little more to save later too). Seeing the other reviews, I should probably switch it up and try the other sides! I usually order ahead and the food is already ready to go - super convenient. read more

This place really gives you bang for your buck! For $11 you can get 1/2 chicken and two sides. The fried rice is a must and the mac is also delissshhhhh! I did switch it up the last time we ordered and got the Lomo Saltado, which was good but not as good as the chicken. I've only ordered this through Door Dash and it always arrives fresh AF and I respect the hell out of that. Highly recommend! read more

I think Peruvian chicken might be my favorite food of all time! My coworkers and I ordered from Chicken Rico today for lunch and I literally ate the entire 1/2chicken meal at my desk without putting my fork down once! Chicken was 5-star, plantains were 5-star, and fried rice was meh, but didn't hurt my overall rating. One of my favorite spots in the Baltimore city area, for sure. read more

Chicken Rico - 1/2 Chicken with Plantains and Fried Rice - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We have not lived in Baltimore for over a decade, but my husband still talks on a regular basis about missing Chicken Rico. So of course on our first time back in Baltimore in at least 10 years, we had to have lunch here. Still fantastic chicken and plantains! read more

My group and I needed to stop in for a quick bite to eat. Service was quick and great, the menu was easy to read and had lots of options. Along the wall were many different drinks to choose from, along with fountain drinks. The Peruvian chicken was terrific! As for sitting, the restaurant does have a sitting area, but if it were to get super busy, they would run out of place. If I'm in Dundalk for training again definitely stopping in! read more

Looks just like the pictures.....So yummy and filling. Just get some for lunch or dinner you will be nice and full!

Quite possibly the best chicken that ever existed. If you haven't had PERUVIAN rotisserie chicken before, you might be thinking, "how is this better than the overpriced rotisserie chicken in supermakets (ie Safeway, Wholefoods, Fresh and Green). This is on a whole another level. I can't tell you how they do it or why it tastes so good, but I don't care. These peruvians make their chicken sexy in your mouth. Chicken: incredibly moist moist moist. Flavors permeate all levels of the chicken whether its dark or white meat. Unbeatable. Side: many to choose from, all are good, but the chicken is def the main appeal. Some of the options include yuca fries, regular fries, fried rice, salad, beans, etc. BEST DEAL in town. I fell like I'm stealing when I come eat here. The prices are cheap and the portions are large. Enough said. read more

When I say this is one of the top 10 meals of my life, I really mean it! It's an unassuming storefront on Main St. USA. I don't know how safe this area is in general but I've now been twice and haven't felt uncomfortable, both times at night. You walk in and there will likely be a line. Start at the right, put in your order and wait about 3 minutes for everything to be ready. I took a friend the 2nd time around and we got the amazing family deal of a whole chicken, two large sides and three cans of soda for only $16.99. The chicken is the superstar here. You could probably stand one up on it's back legs and trump it out in front of the paparazzi. I've never had chicken this good in my life, at least a whole chicken. The "exotic" rub and marinade process is different for US palates but is still succulent and as moist as can be. The Colonel must have chicken-envy when walking into a place like this, you don't need to deep fry chicken to make it this delish. It's cooked over hot coals right in front of your eyes, the sides are ala carte so you can pick and choose what you want after looking at them. I'm still upset I haven't tried the plaintains, the beans and rice are that good where I just haven't had the room when eating to add a 3rd side to what I was getting. I've never had Latin rice with egg in it, like you usually get in Asian fried rices....that's a great touch. Forget the chains in Inner Harbor, make the 3-mile trek out to the eastern Bal'More suburbs to this hidden gem if you're into "ethnic" foods as much as I am and finding one of the best meals you can ever devour. read more

Being new to Baltimore I discovered this place when going to CVS. Made a point to come back and try the chicken. Was not disappointed.

Muy rico. read more

I was in Baltimore visiting a family friend and she ordered take out from this place. We just finished a hike so the food was the perfect refuel meal!! Wow, the chicken was nice and tender, perfectly seasoned. The beet potato salad was well balanced. The yuca fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The green sauce was so good I wanted to drink it. This place is a 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Yesterday I thought it would be fun to try a few new restaurants since COVOID-19 has us all in the house for a while. I had never tried Chicken Rico before but I could not have been happier that I did. The food was absolutely delicious. When the food was delivered it was still hot which is a huge plus for me and delivered in recyclable containers! I got the black beans, plantains, and the fried rice and dark meat. I know they only give you two sides but PLEASE get all three the plantain were the sweetest plantains I've ever had in Baltimore. I like tho mix the plantains beans and rice together for a sweet and savory flavor experience. Honestly I will definitely be ordering from them again. It was well worth the money. read more

This review is for delivery only as I've never been to the actual restaurant. I've ordered from here once through an online delivery platform and didn't have any issues. However, when I actually made the mistake of speaking to one of the employees at this restaurant on the phone, I knew that I will not be ordering from there ever again. I feel bad giving such a low rating for a place that has decent food, but I just can't make myself eat at or recommend an establishment that does not care about its customers and clearly does not reinforce good customer service on its employees. Overall, food isn't bad. Pretty standard Peruvian food- 4/5 Service, however, wow- 0/5. Management should probably record some of these conversations for quality and training purposes. I literally was not able to even ask a question, he just hung up on me and never picked up again. read more

What to say about this place? or any other real chicken ricos for that matter...except that it pulls you in through the door with that charcoal fumed, limon-chilé-cumin infused-crispy skinned-juicy-salivation inducing chicken, that is served with the perfect sauces and the perfect sides (I always get the yuca). read more

Chicken Rico - 1/2 Chicken w/ 2 sides (I got yuca fries and beans) - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Chicken Rico has excellent chicken. The meat is tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The skin has a deep fattiness that has absorbed the char and woody/astringent Peruvian spices that are slathered on the chicken towards the end of the roasting process. The fries are fresh and have a tender consistency quite respectful of the potato's original meat. Prices are reasonable. read more
