a woman sitting on the sidewalk in front of a restaurant
Patrick R.

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.

Top : half chicken with two sides (plantains & yucca fries) Bottom : Lomo saltado
Sarah M.

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.

Quesadilla combo with plantains and fried rice
Mel L.

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!

Half Chicken White Meat fried rice and fries
Ciara M.

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.

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.

Yuca Fries
Derek X.

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!

1/2 Chicken Rico Platter
Satabdi N D.

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.

While out running errands today, I realize that I was getting lightheaded because I hadn't eaten…read moreyet. I had dining plans for later but I need something on my stomach to get rid of this headache. I opted on THB Bagelry. They never miss. The food is always fresh and it's light (doesn't weigh you down). Confession: I have been to several other THB's but I've never been to this location before. Quite honestly, every time I pass this location, I couldn't figure out how to get in the shop. There was signage but no entrance, so I never stopped. Today I learned that you have to park in the lot (Boston & S. Clinton Street) and walk around the corner. The entrance is on S. Clinton St. Upon entering, as usual, it was very busy... always a great sign and there was a really nice flow. There's definitely a rhythm to the employees at THB, which I appreciate. There's ample seating, plenty of room, and every employee I interacted with was polite, welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. I loved it. I was in and out of there in no time. My go to here is the 'Uncle Gigli'. LOVE this 'bagelwich' (wait... did I just make up a new word?!? Ha! Check me out! Nah. I'm sure it already exists... I just like patting myself on the back when I can. lol). Turns out the 'Uncle Gigi', evidently, is a Guest Fave! Nice! It comes w/ an Everything bagel (scooped), skinnied (I leave as is) and toasted. The interior is stuffed w/ Scallion cream cheese, Muenster cheese, avocado spread, cucumber, sprouts, tomato. You can sub your choice of bread or bagel. There's even the option to make it VEGAN with vegan cream cheese and no Muenster cheese. The flavors ALWAYS hit w/ this one! I also added salmon, making this even more PERFECT than it already is. The toasted crispy outside of the bagel with the soft interior and all the fresh crunchy veggies inside & the mildly salty salmon, basically make this a salad u can walk & eat. Yummm-o!!! SCORE!!! See u soon, THB Bagelry...

I love this place. Been coming here for years. This is still my favorite regional bagel…read moreshop/chain. You can see my previous reviews for how awesome this place is. The short version is you won't find better bagels dine in or to go in the area. Their menu is well designed with a decent variety of options without being overwhelming or trying to do too much. As a regional chain, they have several locations but this one is very well situated. There's a free parking lot and free parking on the street out front. They have a decent inside dining area and outdoor seating on the patio as well. During the pandemic, they kept going with delivery and curbside pick up and eventually opened for in-store pick up and eventually for in-store dining again. Over the past few years they have been rewarded with a growing and loyal customer base. All of this means that if you want to place an order, be prepared, especially on weekend mornings, for a decent delay as they will at times become swamped with customers. I highly recommend downloading and using their app. Much better than trying to use a third party app to order. Plus you get occasionally discounts/rewards. In order to help address the breakfast rush hour, a few years ago they installed a very large wall with alphabetized shelves for pick up orders. in addition, they recently added a monitor that shows which orders are currently ready and on the shelf, and which orders are in progress with a time estimate for when it will be ready. In terms of specific food items, I highly recommend all of the breakfast egg sandwiches. Be aware that the 'ham' they list is Taylor ham; also known as pork roll. Very delicious, but not the same thing as deli ham. All of the lunch sandwiches are well-made but I am partial to the low fat chicken salad. It's great on a bagel, cold, or on rye bread as a Panini. The french fries are a must have, and I would absolutely get them with breakfast or lunch.

As soon as we sat down we were offered a cinnamon roll- this was a special treat as we had given ourself a goal of finding a delicious cinnamon roll over the weekend. OMG was that a good choice! We split it 4 ways which allowed us each to have the experience while still having room for the rest of breakfast . The rest of the meal was equally marvelous- in particular the scrapple (IYKYK) was perfectly prepared and crispy on the outside and soft inside. The decor was funky- it was only a few weeks before Halloween and so I'm not sure whether some of the spooky aspects were Halloween or every day- whatever it is- it works!

You seat yourself, scan a QR code for the menu, and a server comes by to take your order. I skipped the famous Captain Crunch French Toast and ordered the Sweet Baby Jesus: crispy hash browns topped with crab, Old Bay, cheddar cheese, eggs, and hollandaise. Honestly, it felt like a crab eggs Benedict with hash browns instead of English muffins. The presentation was lackluster, and the combination of Old Bay, cheese, and hollandaise didn't quite work for me. It was edible, but not something I'd order again. The small space creates an unspoken eat-and-leave atmosphere, which is understandable but not ideal for larger groups looking to linger. I wouldn't say I'll never return, but after this experience, I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

Both were delicious and cooked really well, but the Baltimore Burger was definitely my personal favorite! I also loved that the burgers came with a side of potato chips. They were so good and paired perfectly with the burgers! We also tried a couple of their beers, the #16 Dewey Secret Machine Sunset Squeeze and the #32 Downeast Blackberry Cider.
