My wife and I had dinner there on 3/14/2025. She had a quarter chicken with fried rice and salad. The chicken was delicious. Skin was flavorful, crispy. Rice was well seasoned. Salad was fresh. I had chicken and pasta, I can't remember the name of the dish. The dish was well seasoned. Packed with perfectly cooked vegetables including green peppers, tomatoes, onions. Very flavorful, delicious. read more

Chicken Rico - Amazing Quarter Chicken White with fried rice and black beans. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Terrible service. We had to repeat or order like 10 times- no one was writing anything down. Cashiers looked like they were in the worst mood possible. It wasn't even busy. When we came in we were 1 out of 3 customers they had. And I still got my order wrong. For a meal that was over 100$ we were highly dissatisfied . Definitely not coming back. Highly recommend Wishbone Chicken instead, it's much better. read more

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. read more

Chicken is great! We ordered to go and love the value if the family meals to include sodas. My favorite is the fried plantains. Love how they come out soft but crisp and caramelized around the edges. Just mouthwatering! read more

I ate here on. Sunday afternoon near peak lunch. The chicken seemed a bit dried out and left me wondering about their preparation timings. The chicken was flavorful, but lacked the moisture and peel action I enjoy from peak rotisserie. I had the plantains which were consistent with the chicken. read more

Placed a takeout order for pickup at 6pm, arrived at 6. Got home (10 minute drive) and the Chicken Burrito tortilla was completely saturated, could not even hold it, everything was falling out of it, and found 2 bones in one half of the burrito. I did not eat the other half. Yucca fries were cold and dry. Half chicken platter, the chicken was completely dried out. Been going here for years, this is my last order. read more

Great food for a nice value and service is always awesome too! Variety of sides to go with tasty rotisserie chicken and green hot sauce is excellent! read more

We highly recommend eating your food at the store/right away. The white meat is a little dry, but the sauce helps. We like the green sauce the most. Hot tip: you can ask to get only the green sauce and they will give you additional green sauce in replacement of the other one. read more

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.

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. read more

I'll put down a marker and call this the best Peruvian chicken place in Leesburg. Didn't realize I'd never rated it. Consistently good bird here. Sides are also excellent. Hours are weird in CoV times, that's universal, nothing is open late and everyone is short-staffed. Definitely a fantastic value for the money. 5/5 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Love the service. They are also very nice the food is also amazing! They season their food perfectly and Tthe portions are huge.

Always good and the staff is very accommodating. The yellow and green sauce/dip give you is superb. Rotisserie chicken hits the spot everytime!! read more

I used to like this place, but the staff just seem to not care these days. I went in around 8:30pm and was told that they were no longer serving chicken. This place is a chicken restaurant and they had clearly decided to make a quick exit at closing time. There were chickens in the rotisserie, which they had shut down. I was told that all I could have was sides, really??? Obviously I left and as I sat in my car outside, ordering from somewhere else, I saw 3 more people walk in and the out again as there was no chicken being served. Glad they can afford to turn away business. I wonder if management is aware that they do this. Will not be going back, Leesburg has other rotisserie chicken options. read more

The owner or whatever has now neglected my initial email complaining about his employees closing early and has took it into his own hands to find me on Instagram and message me there. Very childish and slightly creepy. He still hasn't acknowledged the fact that his employees closed up early the night my family and I went there for dinner. I'll keep updating, but as of now oh no no no. Sad As a reply to the owner, Danny's, rude and untrue reply to my yelp review - here is the original "nasty" email I sent :) If this is "nasty" and "harassment" then wow did this guy exaggerate...as far as the email server being blocked - that's his excuse for taking 2 weeks to bother me on Instagram. As you can see, I left my number for someone to contact me. I didn't want anything for free, that doesn't excite me. I wanted a sincere apology because they ruined our plans because his employees wanted to skip out on work 30 min early read more

While the chicken is good the Yuca is terrible. Its so expensive and they gave me old cooked yuca. It used to be good and they gave you a lot.The last 2 times the yuca was not good and the portion is small. I don't know why restaurants serve bad, not fresh food because now I'm filled with regret and telling myself don't ever go back. read more

Got a steak sub and Mac and cheese, meat was over cooked and cold, Mac and cheese was so over cooked the macaroni was smushed together clearly been cooking the noodles all day read more

Food is okay.... i guess one has to be a fan of spending $12+ for a small-ish lunch plate. Fries were room temp. All their menu items in the store are way over $10 - too much for lunch. I won't go back. read more

I came here pretty late on a Sunday evening. The chicken was good but a little dry, but it may have been due to the time I came. I will have to give this place another try. read more

Chicken was super moist and well seasoned. Plantains were cooked perfectly to caramelization. The cole slaw had a bit too much mayonnaise. Good size portion - would be plenty for dinner. Wish there was a Chicken Rico near my home. Definitely going to eat here again when in town. read more

What we ordered: 1. Lomo saltado: beef strips with onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a gravy sauce, served over steak fries, with a side of rice. 2. Pollo saltado: same as above, but with chicken strips instead of beef strips. 3. The half roasted chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and chick peas. Both the lomo and the pollo saltado were oh so delicious!! Rich flavors, huge portions, and super filling! They came with a side of jalapeno sauce and a honey mustard sauce, which was great with the fries and chicken/beef! So good that next time I plan on ordering the fries separately just so I can enjoy the sauce flavors more. Our kids had the roasted chicken and devoured it! The mashed potato was creamy and buttery and while I thought that the chick peas were just okay, my husband loved them! Definitely try this place out and order the saltado! You'll love it! We will definitely be back! read more

Reading the reviews, that one star one way below mine is crazy. No one has a right to demand a business be open then threaten to slander them on social media, even if they have posted hours. I'm normally a Guapos guy, so that's tops in my book, but this is the best place in town. Easy to feed a whole family on a whole bunch of food. Always friendly, and they've always either got Liga MX or la Liga on TV. read more

Good food. Great service. Cheap prices. We ordered a whole fried fish and they fried it fresh for us even though there was one sitting out. They also fried up fresh French fries. Get the chicken (of course), but the fish was well seasoned and fresh. read more

Nice sized restaurant, many options to suit your cravings and the staff was very friendly. The tables needed cleared and wiped down so I dropped a star but I'd go back again. read more

I felt that there were a good variety of options offered, all of which my family members had ordered were cooked quickly by the friendly staff (but the food was freshly made). In addition to everything tasting great (I loved the sauces that were provided), the portion sizes were wonderfully generous. Essentially, the food and service was well worth the price, and I'd definitely recommend any Leesburgian or tourist who's just passing through to try the place out. read more

Really enjoyed the chicken here. Fiance said it was good but not as good as our favorite place out of town. He said it was missing the crispy skin. It could be it took maybe 10 mins to get home and the skin wasn't as crispy, not sure. We had fries and fried rice, which were good. Also tried the chicken and steak sandwich. It was good (a bit heavy on the mayo). Would totally come here again. read more

Chicken, charcoal chicken, rotisserie chicken. They were tender, juicy and extremely flavorful. Staffs are nice, friendly, and some are really cute. They'll give you a load of side orders like no tomorrow or they hate the owner of this restaurant to the gut. The place was decent, somewhat clean, colorful ceiling and a broken exit door that require 500 calories of force to push out. Price, acceptable. Will return. read more

When they first opened they had a few issues with service but since the Covid 19 shut down it seems that they are putting customers first. Usually they would stop making meals thirty minutes before they closed but now they cook until closing. They even let a few people in after their posted closed hours last week to get whatever they had left as I guess closing due to Covid caused them loss in income to the point where they don't turn away customers....even those who come in at 7:59 when they close at 8:00. Keep up the customer service. They would get five stars but the app they use for online orders has the wrong prices with an increase of $2-$3 per item. read more

This review isn't about the food it's about the fact that they operate whatever hours at any given day. Their website, Google and Yelp show certain hours but that doesn't mean they're open, some days they just close early ... this isn't a way to run a business. Update your hours on your website and on Google this is how people find out when your business operates it's not 1988 when people will drive over to see if you're open or not. read more

I went and tried the lomo saltado and it was nothing but onions and fried i bairley had any meat and the meat was just chewy and nasty on top of that i ended up paying 27 for that and a side of Yuca fries that where undercooked ! I felt like they overcharged me a added a tip without me knowing ! I don't recommend at all food was mid ! Made me throw up and i'm not the type to write review. read more

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