My girlfriend absolutely loves this place. The food is good, the prices are low, the staff are very friendly and everything comes out extremely FAST! Pretty much everything you can ask for. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't give this place a try. read more

I've been coming to coco Rico for years now. Back when they were at their old location too. This place never seizes to amaze me with their customer satisfaction and delicious food. The staff is always greeting with you a wide smile making sure you get your moneys worth. I've also used them for catering for big and small parties, and in all events it was a hit. I have and will always be a loyal customer. read more

Wow! Fantastic Peruvian chicken bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection; every bite was juicy and had a smoky flavor to it that was savory but not overpowering. The half chicken platter was probably the best meal I've had at a restaurant in a while, and the spices were on point, as were the french fries and the refreshing coleslaw. The horchata was creamy, smooth, and sweet as well. I walked out of this place full and content with the meal I'd just had and it even got me sleepy from how filling it was. I was happily graced by the smoky aroma coming from the kitchen on the way to my car. I ate here with a friend of mine for the first time yesterday after seeing the restaurant many times before driving through the area. Excellent local chicken place in Springfield conveniently located near the mall and the Franconia Metro station. I will definitely be coming here again. read more

Consistently good food. Really good peruvian chicken and sides. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

We finally tried Cocorico after passing by it all the time. A no fuss or frill type of place. It's definitely the best chicken place in the Springfield area if you don't count Nando's. We got the family special #1 that comes with a whole chicken, two sides, and 2 drinks. The chicken was flavorful (esp. the skin part) and the sides are better than I expected. The yucca was crispy but not tough as a rock like other places. The plantains were good too. All this for less than $20 bucks and they deliver too! read more

Cocorico - Family special #1 (not pictured 2 drinks) - Peruvian Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

This is a small place close to the new Springfield town center. I got my food to go and it was ready when they said it would be so no complaints there. I had heard that it got best Peruvian chicken in the area so of course I had to check it out. I got a whole chicken and this came with 2 sides as well. I chose the rice and fried yuca. I thought it was hilarious because they gave me a little container of rice and a HUGE box of yuca. I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be the same size, but im not complaining cause I love a good fried yuca. Anyways the main event: the chicken. Plump, juicy, well seasoned and lovely crispy skin parts. I love that they give an ample amount of sauce as well (white sauce and spicy green sauce). Overall a great experience with bargain prices. I'm not 100% sure if it really is the best Peruvian chicken in the area. I would have to try all the other places. I would say this place is worth it though! read more

The food is amazing. Everything I have tried has been wonderful. Do yourself a favor and order!

This place is great! Really good food and fast service. I like to get the half chicken and yuca fries. Last time, I tried the empanadas, and they were awesome; I will definitely be adding that to my order. New location is bigger and trendy inside. Great staff and wonderful owners! Highly recommend. read more

I used to love coming here and ordering Lomo Saltado until my last visit I had ordered a family size side of French fries and even fed some to my toddlers....only to find three dead cockroaches in the to go box towards the bottom. I don't know what I ever did in my life to deserve to unknowingly eat dead cockroaches but if you want Peruvian chicken .....this place is not it! read more

I have been here a few times now and I like it! I usually get the quarter chicken with two sides. The chicken is delicious, it has a great smoky flavor. The salad side is pretty boring, just iceberg lettuce, and the beans are not super flavorful. The plantains and the yucca fries on the other hand are delicious! That's what you should get on the side! I've gotten the half chicken before which is enough for two meals - you can't beat that for only about $10! read more

Really delicious food is being served here, I got lomo saltado chicken and an order of pupusas, both of these items were served up hot and fresh, the only drawback that I can see with this place is that you have to pay extra for additional green sauce, which as you may or may not know is fairly obligatory when eating Peruvian food, but the food was wonderful,will go again and try other items on their menu!! read more

I was in the mood for more Peruvian food after trying some a few weeks earlier. I had never paid attention to this "hidden in plain sight" restaurant near the mall, but I'm happy I tried it out. When I arrived on a Sunday afternoon, it was bustling with folks. I ordered the Lomo Saltado to go and waited about fifteen minutes for it to arrive. The lady I ordered from informed me that the dish would take about that long when I ordered, which I'm glad she had the foresight to tell me. The Lomo Saltado was great, and I'd like to see how different restaurants prepare it. The onions and vegetables melded well with the beef and the fries. I would come back to try some other items. read more

Cocorico - Lomo Saltado to go. - Peruvian Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

We had take out company luncheon. The chicken tasted good the texture was soft. The steam veggies were frozen ones not fresh. Pretty for that! read more

I order my food. Eat a little bit of it. Need to use the bathroom. Come back. Gone.

The chicken here is actually better than I expected ! For about 20 bucks you get a full chicken with two sides and 6 sauces. The green one is nice and spicy and the yellow is more mustardy . I had my chicken delivered and the food came quickly and hot . I have been inside this establishment before and service was prompt. Whatever spices they use on the chicken make it flavorful and the meat just falls off the bone ! read more

If you love dry chicken, this is your place. Personally, I like juicy chicken. I think this was the driest pollo I've ever had. I almost had to order another drink because I couldn't swallow it with out taking a drink. Giving 3 stars because the yucca and sauces were great. read more

I ordered a whole chicken, plantains, rice, flan, the hazelnut pastry, and rice pudding. Everything was great. Literally, everything. The chicken was very flavorful. The plantains were perfect. All the desserts were amazing. Try this place. read more

I get dinner from Cocorico at least once a month for our family of 6. Family meal #2 is a great option for us, as we have 4 young kiddos. Chicken is always warm, savory, seasoned well, and moist. The sides are tasty and healthy. While the side dishes could be a bit larger, the truth is the kids just want the chicken and fries anyway. So the veggies are enough for me. The new location on commerce is large, clean, and has better access now than before. Friendly staff, ready-to-eat empanadas, and a cooler displaying tres leches and rice pudding greet you at the counter. I fed our family of 6 for under $45, and only waited about 10 minutes for hot fresh food. Highly recommend! read more

Ok, even though they didn't have the revueltas the bean and cheese were good, not authentic but good taste. I'm used to real pupusas. But I give it to them. I enjoyed it. The person at the counter was friendly and service was pretty fast. I'll be back. Thank you! read more

Convenient location very close to Springfield Mall. You go to the counter, place your order and pay, and wait to pick up or pick a seat to dine in. If dining in, they will bring out your food for you. Huge easy to read menu. Half chicken dark meat: Comes with 2 sides, and we ordered yuca fries with salad. The meat has a wonderful charcoal flavor and is quite juicy, some of the best flavor I've had in the area. The yuca fries were tasty, not the best I've had but still delicious. Dish comes with several cups of dip, including the spicy green aji sauce served at every Peruvian chicken place around. Price is VERY competitive and I like how they charge less for dark meat - it's actually my favorite so for me it's a plus! I'm definitely coming back here again. read more

Been to a butt load of Peruvian/Charcoal chicken spots now and Cocorico just blew me out of my pants! The chicken was full of flavor and I'm definitely coming back here. El Pollo Rico comes close but this place just rose to the top of my chicken list. read more

Cocorico - THIS PERUVIAN/CHARCOAL CHICKEN JUST BLEW MY PANTS OFF! - Peruvian Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Became violently ill after eating from this location tonight. Had chicken, beans, and rice. I'm actually ill as I write this . Not sure which piece of food is the culprit but It came on pretty quickly after consuming my meal. read more

Its no Edy's, not really even close but the chicken was good, yuca good, sauces good. Main criticism is the chix was slightly over cooked and the skin was not very crispy. Our order was ready very very quickly so that is a plus. read more

This is a go to for our family. Amazing deal for great food. Always a fan of the chicken. Excellent selection of sides.

Great food and they have a wider variety of sides and options than most Peruvian chicken spots in this area. They prepare the food quickly and it's always fresh. This is our go-to Peruvian spot and we're lucky to have it in our neighborhood. Pro-tip -- if you order the family meal, remember to grab your beverages before you leave! read more

The food here is pretty good... can't really go wrong with pollo a la brasa. However this place literally gives THE smallest amount of rice ever . I usually get a quarter chicken dark and rice and salad ... any other place that's similar to this I have a hard time finishing all the rice.... but this place... I finish and I'm still hungry . Today I ordered a bowl and it was literally filled with iceberg lettuce and a half of a half a scoop of rice. I was fishing in my bowl for rice bc the lettuce made the whole thing watery. I understand trying to cut costs and not over feeding, however another scoop of rice with the meals would be sufficient- especially since I'm being charged for everything extra - including sauces. read more

I just bought two ceviches but it looks like they just sell me the onions and the corn

Sneaky little cashier overcharged my credit card...watch them...very dishonest! Be sure to check your receipt!!!!!

Staff is not friendly and the place feels like it needs a professional cleaning. Mouse trap next to table, yuk. Food was just ok. Not coming back. read more

It was a long few weeks while they moved locations. This is our go-to place in the neighborhood. Everything is amazing, but really, you gotta get the chicken. I'm so excited they opened in a larger location. read more

Consistently good chicken and rice. Extremely quick so as soon as you place your order be ready to go pick up. Prices are reasonable, can feed 3-4 people for about $30. Have had a couple times when a side is forgotten for carry out. Upon calling the restaurant they aren't able (or willing) to refund the difference so only options are to either go back to restraint or to get a credit next time you go back which obviously doesn't work for non-repeat visitors. Unsure why a purchase can't be refunded the specific amount... Overall recommend, just check your order before you leave if carrying out. read more

I love ordering from Cocorico the chicken is my favorite!!! But today I decided to try something else, what I think i made the wrong decision . I ordered delivery trough DoorDash bistec a lo pobre and was really disgusting to see a big piece of fat in the middle of the plate it was almost same size of the piece of steak ! I wouldn't mine to get a smaller piece of steak than to see fat all over my plate! Rly disappointed :/ read more

So many things to choose from. Had the tamales, half chicken, and a special. All were all really good and filling. Did takeout and the food was on time. Really well priced. There's really nothing not to like about this place. read more

I love this place! Amazing Peruvian chicken and Lebanese sides (hummus, garlic paste are amazing) big fan of the Lebanese chicken sandwich too! Thought they closed as I drove by their location but thankfully I called and they have me directions to their new location. Amazing staff and lovely family owned business. Would highly recommend for eat it or take away. read more

The food is great but the customer service is horrendous. The girl upfront has such a crappy attitude.

I visited Cocorico and shared a quarter chicken with yucca and fries along with the pollo saltado. We also had an Inka Cola. The chicken was extremely moist and the portions were a good size for my appetite. I am sure others would probably prefer the half chicken, but the 1/4 was fine for me. The chicken was served with a yellow and green sauce of which I much preferred the green. Still, something was missing. I felt like some good american hot sauce would have been nice but overall it was a good value and pretty good food. The restaurant is fast casual with self seating and pickup. The ambiance is very basic and feels very ethnic/family owned. read more

Despite moving 15 miles away from Springfield, VA to SW DC a few years ago, my wife and I still venture out to eat at Coco Rico. Why? In 5 short words...their chicken is the best. Oh...and it's also very affordable. We usually order the half chicken and two sides (rice and beans). If you decide to dine in, don't expect many frills. You will get a clean dining room, friendly staff and a consistently delicious meal. Oh yeah...the location could not be more convenient (it's right off of I-495, I-95 and I-395 for all of you weary travelers). read more

Excellent! I have not found a great peruvian chicken place in Alexandria and this one fits the bill. Great business, excellent food and lovely people. It was a little difficult to find but Google Maps knows the way - they are just on the corner of an intersection. read more

What a little gem in Springfield! It's not much to look at from the outside, but inside you'll find amazingly seasoned Peruvian chicken, crispy yucca and delicious sauces. You absolutely cannot beat the 1/2 chicken deal, at just under $10, that can easily feed two people. Take a chance on this little place. You won't be disappointed! read more

I waited 15 minutes to buy 3 tacos that cost me 12$ (w an horchata). I don't care how good those tacos are I'm not coming back! Oh yeah the tacos suck! read more
