These were well deserved meals after a long week. Treat yourself!

Helping out a friend who was staying in the area, I asked what he wanted to eat as I would pick it…read moreup for him. "I don't know, maybe something Chickeny." To the yelp app I go and Pollo Mania comes up. Sounds Chickeny to me. Peruvian rotisserie is a delicacy in my opinion, so I ordered the chicken with two sides and got the rice and beans with flour tortillas. Enough food for us to share and to give him a couple of meals the next day so he wouldn't have to cook. All for under $40 - sounds good to me. And not only did it sound good, the taste was AMAZING. I seriously had to force myself to stop eating because I wanted to keep stuffing my face. I will be back soon because that chicken was that tasty.

This place, indeed, has a mini market inside with a surprising selection of meats, pantry items and…read morechips. I recommend their chicken sandwich (napilitana de pollo $13.99 for large). It is good. It is the same price at the beef version but understandly so. The chicken meat was grilled tenderly, and the slice of ham it came with added the saltynesss the sandwich needed. Simple but effective. Also chilies adds great flavor too. You can ask for it on the side to adjust spiciness to your preference. Capicollo, one of the cold sandwich, was fine but nothing to write home about. Atlas or wings ($11.99/lb) here remind me of the ones I used to get when I was younger... I like how the spicy version is still deed fried and not saucy. (Personally prefer dry rubs.) The heat can creep up to u after a few. But not all wings are created equally, might end with with some tiny more battered ones along with regulars. Wait times can be longer during lunch times - waited 30 min for takeout during weekday lunch hour.

Food - sub par Service - slow & presumptuous…read moreAmbiance - hole in the wall & not a problem I had an intense craving for lomo saltado so came here because it popped up on Yelp. It was a hole in the wall and had relatively good reviews for lomo saltado so I had my hopes up thinking the food would be amazing. My chief complaint is that it took almost 30 minutes for my single order to come out because the kitchen was busy prioritizing to-go/delivery orders. Had I known this, I wouldn't have eaten inside the restaurant; I would've actually gotten it delivered. My next complaint is that no receipt was given as customer copy, and no itemized receipt when asking for tip. The total for this dish came out to almost $30 including tip, and the waitress/cashier didn't mention the lunch special at all. I brought it up to ask about it after I paid, to which she replied, "Oh, you probably don't want that cuz it's smaller. But it comes with a drink and soup." The fact that she assumed I wouldn't want the lunch special (when I'm there at lunch time) that would've been a much better deal at $17.99 and perfect portion size for me, and yet charged me for the regular dinner price was a bit presumptuous. It's also weird that they would ask for a tip (which I gave anyway) before I even received my meal. It's less about the price but the principle! But I was just hungry and needed to go to my next appointment, so I didn't argue, but again, the food took way too long to come out so I had to ask her about it after the 25 minute mark. Food came out after 30 minutes, and I had to get up and ask for the aji verde sauce when most restaurants usually serve it to you with the meal. The aji verde sauce which is really important to me to complement this dish, unfortunately missed the mark as well. I really missed Sol Inka's aji verde sauce that's well-rounded in every way. Lomo saltado should be balanced between the meat, tomatoes, onions, and fries, but it was definitely heavy on the fries with only two pieces of tomatoes. I would've preferred more meat too if it's the regular plate, but it felt like a fries dump. I wouldn't have had complaints if this were the lunch special order. Anyways, if you don't mind the headache & having to be extra proactive to get what you want, this is the place to be, but it's definitely not my cup of tea. $30 for a sub-par lomo saltado where well over half of it is fries does not sit well with me, considering I waited 30 minutes for my meal. Unfortunately, I'd just have to stick to Sol Inka for my regular Peruvian food fix, as the flavor is more robust there anyways. Oh, and Sol Inka also gives complimentary warm bread and butter, while there isn't anything like that here.

In my opinion was great for 2 because of the chaufa. We shared the food. We also liked the drinks. My husband said that the beer was excellent. The food is fresh, but takes a while. The service was okay. We had to ask for more napkins, then a spoon. The rice plate didn't have a serving spoon because it was meant to be for one person, and the plates to share the food were too small. But the food was so tasty we didn't mind it. (If they read this review, they will make the changes) We figured it out. The ambiance is peaceful and easy to have a conversation. Whittier has plenty of public parking, but people need to be willing to walk. Street parking is not impossible, but a bit difficult.

It's been a long time since we last visited Mr. Pollo, and I have no idea why we waited so long to…read morereturn. Mr. Pollo is a little place in the middle of a small strip center serving up amazing rotisserie chicken and Peruvian dishes. They don't have an extensive menu, but everything is so good. If you plan to eat in the dining area, they would like you to order at the counter first, then find a table to sit. On this recent visit, we ordered the Whole Chicken meal ($32.60), which comes with your choice of two large sides. We got the mashed potatoes & gravy and the beans. This is one of the best rotisserie chickens we've had, and the sides were quite tasty as well. They also have Loma Saltado, Chaufa de Pollo (chicken fried rice), Tallarin Verde con Pechuga de Pollo (chicken served on spaghetti with spinach sauce), and a few other dishes to choose from. It's a very popular place and the dining area is on the small side, so be prepared that you might not find a place to sit. A lot of customers take their orders "to go". If you're looking for delicious food at reasonable prices, I recommend that you check them out.

Customer service from the manager/owner was not good at all. The lomo saltado was disappointing too -- the beef was very chewy and the sauce was overly salty. The chicken was actually good, and the server did a good job trying to help us. The atmosphere was not comfortable because the restaurant was very smoky from the chicken cooking, and there was no restroom available inside the restaurant. Overall, the food and service from the server were okay, but the manager's attitude really ruined the experience.
