    This is a good cost effective go to! They really know how to give you A LOT OF FOOD!! I usually get the half of chicken, yuca, and beans and rice. I would highly recommend this place!

    Taco salad with chicken
    Kenyatte S.

    After a day of shopping at the Leesburg outlet mall, my husband and I decided to grab some lunch at Chicken Rico. My husband got the chicken quesadilla and I got the taco salad with chicken. The presentation of the food was great! However, the taco salad shell was not crispy and the chicken used in the salad was slightly over cooked and difficult to chew. The quesadilla was delicious! The green sauces provided were amazing and I was a bit jealous that I did not get the same thing. Maybe they were having an off day. I do plan on going back to try something else. My food was not horrible, it just was not what I was expecting.

    1/4 chicken special includes choice of 2 sides, here with salad and mac n cheese.  Mac n cheese was very good,  the chicken was uninspiring.

    I ordered the 1/4 chicken special which included 2 sides. The chicken was moist but not very flavorful in my opinion. There are better Peruvian chicken places in the area. The mac and cheese was very good. In short, if your car is in for repair and one of the service stations across the street, it is a handy place to eat while you wait. Otherwise, i'd choose other places in town if your hankering is for Peruvian chicken.

    We are regular customer to chicken Rico today we went in and ask for a smaller sizes of sides The answer was NO... The cashier was extremely rude. I'm a restaurant owner myself this was really low.

    CR is located in the Gold's Gym/Petco shopping center in a stand alone building next to Tropical Smoothie. I usually pop in after work and order sides which includes mac & cheese, white rice and mashed potatoes. Their yellow sauce is the best! When I do order chicken (1/4) it is moist. With sides it is well priced to feed a family. Portions are generous.

    1/4 chicken with yucca fries and potato salad!
    Victor H.

    One of the better PPPs (Peruvian Pollo Places) I've been too and it's right in smack dab middle of Leesburg. An extension of their Herndon location, it serves up a tasty rotisserie dirty bird along with great sides. Favorites are the yucca fries, veggies, potato salad, and spicy chickpeas. If you don't want their chicken, they have other Peruvian dishes such as the lomo saltado and carne asada. In addition they have quesadillas, burritos, and sandwiches. But for a name like Chicken/El Pollo Rico, you get what it's named for: the chicken! Don't be a chicken about the chicken, check it out!

    Great chicken at a great price. Friendly staff willing to help. The chickpeas are my favorite side but wife has to have yucca and plantains.

    The chicken was very good. The sides looked and tasted terrible. The Mac and cheese came with a side of hair. Service was lacking.

Then while driving around that gas station looking for a spot to park, I smelled some amazing Pollo a La Brassa and saw La Chocita behind the gas station. That smelled drew me in! The folks inside were friendly and sat me promptly. I ordered a quarter chicken and she immediately told me she didn't have any chicken today (I think she meant not ready yet). I said I smelled it and that's why I came in, so she said to wait and went in the back. She came back and said she had chicken, so I assumed the fresh, amazing smelling chicken I came in for that was being cooked was ready. Well, what I got was yesterday's chicken which seemed to be re-heated. It was dry and flavorless... very boring. No spices to be seen or tasted - So very disappointing! The beans that came with it were decent... not a lot of flavor, but great texture and still good. The salad was fresh, their "dressing" was the typical mayo-based sauce and it was ok. Overall - Nothing at all exciting about this visit... I left disappointed.

The parking lot needs some work, it's not paved. Apparently this place has been in business for over 20 years, they could improve in this area. You start with complimentary chips and salsa. This wasn't bad. I started off with horchata, very good. I had half a chicken all dark meat with yucca and rice. The chicken was pretty good. Flavorful, juicy, tender. The yucca was the perfect texture, crispy exterior, soft interior. The rice was okay. The sauce both white and green could use some work. I'll say, their sauce doesn't come close to super chickens sauce. We dined in. The place was clean. The server was nice. They checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. They have a extensive menu. I'll definitely come back to try out the other items.

It features a modern, trendy, and lively setting with hanging plants, stylish tiles, contemporary lanterns, and warm wood tones, creating a welcoming environment. It's popular for brunch, ceviches, sanguches, salads, seafood dishes, lomo saltados, and more. The dishes we tried were very good, and we recommend: - Causa Sampler, featuring crocante, tartare, and pollo -- all fresh and delicious. - Ceviche Sampler, with traditional, cremoso, and callejero options. - Tostones Sampler, featuring pulled pork, crab salad, and shrimp on crispy, chewy smashed and fried plantains. - Tallarines a la Huancaína: linguine with cream, Parmesan, and Huancaína sauce, topped with lomo saltado -- a unique Peruvian pasta dish that feels more like noodles than traditional pasta. - Arroz con Mariscos: Peruvian-style seafood rice with squid, shrimp, mussels, and salsa criolla, reminiscent of a Peruvian paella. - Lychee Passion & Chicha Colada: tasty mocktails made with lychee, passion fruit puree, chicha morada, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lime.

The ceviche was a bit small portion but it was so tasty! We took the last 1cc of it my lamb shank was really good, especially the base of potatoes and the amazing sauce! Fried Fish, Beef Stake, Crispy Cod Fish were great too. Our server was very friendly with a big smile on his face. He recommended also introduced everything to us. I have to mention that, their bathroom has one elevator for people who have issues with climbing stairs. So thoughtful and caring! Oh! Never forget to order one of the best cake: Rice inside Cheese Cake! It was so delicious, and might blow you away! Inside decoration also very nice. Bright and spacey. Definitely will be go go go mood with family and friends again!
