This place isn't the top of the Peruvian chicken places but it's a nice place. I've been passing this place for years by the mall. Never once went in, especially after I saw a 7 foot chicken dancing outside of it back in the early 00's...but my friend got me to try it one day. The burrito there is pretty good. I actually prefer their steak over their chicken. Their chicken and cheese was one of the best subs i've had in the area. lacking on cheese and chicken but very, very, very good. The burrito bowl is large and very filling. I've always asked them to call before arriving for the delivery. Not once have they knocked on the door. Their english isn't the best but they try really hard to understand you and are very polite. They always smile when I walk in. They usually take awhile on the phone but never too much problems. Try it when you pass it by read more

Not a bad little spot in Springfield right off of Franconia right by the new Springfield Towne Center. Its been here a while and I finally had an opportunity to stop in with my wife today for a lunch. We decided to split the half chicken ( two sides) with rice and plantains (one can soda) for 10.38 ( after tax). The chicken came loaded with a black pepper heavy spice and a distinct charcoal flavoring to it. Unfortunately tge chicken was dry. Luckily the blanco sauce (mayo based), and the Verde sauce (spicy) were pretty good. The plaintains were charred but warm, sweet, and mushy. The rice had that distinct takeout style taste and stickyness. The room takeout room is a small, takeout style dining room with a TV ( that was playing La leagua soccer). I can't say I was impressed or blown away by the chicken. In the realm of Peruvian chicken it seemed very mediocre. read more

If you have even the slightest craving for chicken this is the place. The restaurant is small but the chicken is amazing and for a pretty decent price. I got the half roasted chicken with fries and wifey chicken saltado, which was amazing. We will definitely be coming here more often. read more

Not near as tasty as the chicken place on Rt 7 or crisp and juicy, as a matter of fact I will not be returning. It seems to be constantly busy though and that's a good thing. You will get a boat load of sides so could not finish the whole meal, fries were pretty good but not super hot, beans and rice was just ok. Chicken was a bit dry. A little juicier might have gotten 4 stars read more

1/2 chicken, fries, coleslaw Lets get to the point: Eventhough my order was simple and usually at pollo places can be done in 5 minutes took them 20. The green sauce was weird and watery. The chicken wasnt as flavorable as I have had. White meat was terribly dry, i damn near choked on it. The skin is crispy but the chicken wing was torched. Unseasoned fries. I probably wont be back. 2hr update: i am sick. My stomach feels like i drunk 10 gallons of soapy water, imagine that! read more

This place is delicious! BF and I ordered 2 half chicken platters, he got it with rice and beans and I got it with plantains and beans. The chicken had a very tasty charcoal smoky flavor to the skin. It was so good! Went well with the tangy yellow sauce. Plantains were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of caramelization. I also got a horchata and a tres leches cake, both of which were delicious as well. I did deduct one star because the delivery took longer than expected (by about 12 minutes) but when the driver did arrive, the food was hot. Will definitely order from again! read more

Food was exquisite, came with the whole posse and was impressed as usual, I mean you're obviously gonna get the chicken but we ordered from A to Z and there were no F's on the report card. Could be a little less frugal with the sauces but all in all would recommend Expert tip always top it off with some tres leches read more

This is the place to be for some delicious Peruvian chicken! The service is quick, the staff is nice, and the food will make you feel good. You can get a whole chicken, 1/2 a chicken, or 1/4 of a chicken. It is perfectly roasted and full of juicyness. There are a vareity of sides and the sauces add even more flavor to the chicken. I defintiely reccomend the yuca as a side. They are served hot, crispy, and fluffy. I would not reccomend the fries. They are pretty flavorless and not worth eating to be honest. What is defintiely worth ordering is the horchata as it has the right amount of sweetness to it and the cinnamon is not overpowering. read more

Yum! Delicious!!!! I absolutely love Peruvian Chicken! The chicken was tender and the yucca was fried perfectly. The sauces were good as well. I couldn't stop eating this! read more

I've given this joint two stars because when it first opened it was great! It actually deserves one star because it has gone down hill, enough for us never to return. When this place first opened: The chicken's spices were flavorful and vibrant...not anymore. The portions were generous (beans and rice)... not anymore. The plantains were moist, caramelized and delicious...not anymore. We kept trying it, hoping that the cook would be replaced. We can't keep wasting our money, hoping for a change back to the beginning. I really want Peruvian chicken today, so we're trying Mi Rico Peru right down the street. read more

I ordered the half chicken with fries and plantains, pupusas, and a ginger ale. Everything tastes so fresh and incredible. Especially the sauces. I would definitely go out of my way to come here again. The chicken skin was a little salty but didn't bother me. Oh my gosh the chicken itself was so moist, tender, and delicious. Coming back asap read more

This place blows. Looks unhygienic both in the kitchen and the dining room. Chicken was dry like it was sitting in the warmer for hours. Nothing especial. There are better chicken places near by. read more

I've driven by this place so many times and don't think anything of it but my boyfriend said that this place is good so we gave it a go. They have a small parking lot but no big deal there's so much other parking around it. The decor was surprisingly more dine in friendly than a mediocre diner. We ordered a whole chicken, dark meat only, and Lomo saltada. Because we asked for dark meat only it was a dollar extra. When you open the box of chicken it smells like heaven. The chicken is so well seasoned and sooooo juicy. For sides we got yucca and rice. Yucca is crispy in the outside and piping hot on the inside. The rice comes with specs of peas and carrots and is perfect for some juicy chicken. Lomo saltada was so good too. I can pretty much say this is my new favorite spot for chicken. Do it, go here. read more

Cocorico is delicious! We've eaten there twice and fully enjoyed what we've gotten both times. The pupusas are amazing! The chicken is moist and flavorful. We had a daily special that consisted of steak eggs fries and rice and it was delicious. The beans really stand out. The desserts we've had have been good. The horchata was yummy. Definitely looking forward to our next visit! read more

5 STARS FOR THE LOCAL CHICKEN PLACE! This place is truly the brains behind the peruvian chicken spices. We are not a fan of peruvian chicken, but stopped by to try it anyway since the location is so convenient. Stopped in around dinner time, I ordered the steak and cheese and my husband ordered the half chicken with yuka. My steak and cheese was really the best I have tasted in a long time, aside from the fact that I am pregnant, the meat was juicy and seemed extremely fresh. I had a bite out of my husband's chicken (plate) and I couldn't believe it. The white meat, which is generally dry, was juicy and spiced to perfection. The yuka, which I have never tried before, was an excellent alternative to fries and the white sauce it came with was YUMMY! We have have tried other peruvian chicken places like Super Chicken (A-OK) compared to Cocorico, which is why we weren't fans in the first place. The staff is very sweet, and the service was quick. Also, the place is very clean considering the area, and you can see the kitchen staff wearing gloves, headpiece, and aprons which is a big deal for people let alone, pregnant people. I think we found our new favorite spot in Springfield. read more

Love everything they have. From their chicken to their falafel wraps. We also love Karen! She's one of the most friendliest and professional staff. read more

This place is perfect for some rotisserie chicken with rice beans and tortillas.. don't forget your green sauce!!! Nom nom nom

Cocorico is a good Peruvian chicken place. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. They have different combination sets that you can get. I got the half chicken with yucca fries, plantains and a drink. The yucca fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The plantains were sweet and had the right amount of give, it wasn't to soft or to hard. Nice place to check out if you want some Peruvian chicken. This place gets a 3.5 out of 5 from me. read more

Horrible customer service!!! Gave me the wrong order and didn't want to pay for there mistake.

I ordered my food well in advanced on Yelp Eat24 so that it would be ready when I got there for pick up. When I arrived, my order was not ready. The young lady told me that it said my order was requested for the next day at 10:30 AM although I never specified a time. I figured out that it was an error with the Yelp app and their restaurant. Finally , I got a bag of food but I realized it was missing the half chicken and 2 sides that I ordered. Apparently, it was overlooked on the order. When she realized I was still waiting, she insisted that the chicken was in the bag that I already received. However, I was certain that it wasn't since I already checked the bag. She asked which items were missing but she was not listening to me since she seemed like she was rushing to get back to the register. She brought out dark meat chicken with no sides although I paid extra for white meat chicken and two sides. I then had to wait longer for her to bring out the correct order. Waited over 30 mins in the restaurant even though I placed the order 30 mins prior to coming only to get a half ass apology and get caught in the thunderstorm. I will NOT be returning to this unorganized restaurant that don't care about their loyal customers. And to make matters worse, the chicken was extremely dry and under seasoned!!! read more

I love going to this place!! There food is halal!!! I always get there chicken cheese with the spicy sauce in it. It's tastes amazing. The prices are really good as well!! I tried there baklawa which was good but not the best!! I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Amazing grab and go Peruvian chicken, have been going here for years. Order on yelp or online and pick it up. Also very kind staff and great desserts! read more

First time ordering for delivery. The side of black beans (which comes in a black bean sauce) had a long black hair in it. Honestly ruined my entire appetite and I wasn't able to eat the rest of the food that I ordered which was a burrito bowl (which contains black beans) and fried plantain. I recommend ordering from here with caution. But if you choose to order be certain to check your food for hair. I hope that Cocorico will review their food prep area. Hair nets would be a feasible and affordable enhancement. read more

My boyfriend and I really love Coco Rico. We order the bistec al pobre (or something) all the time. Just had the noodles tomatoes and onions and I added shrimp. Pretty tasty. I asked them to add green peppers and they did it for me! So nice. The delivery guy is the best and always so sweet. I highly recommend. Some of the best roasted Peruvian style chicken too. Very comparable to Pollo Rico in Arlington. But these guys are my go-to! read more

We totally enjoyed our dinner here. My husband ordered the chicken special and is quite picky about his chicken and he thought it was delicious - very moist, tender and full of flavor! I had the chicken quesadilla. It was huge, full of the same chicken (mentioned in my husband's dinner) and more than I could eat. This was a great choice for dinner read more

The best chicken and the best steak tacos in Northern Virginia, absolutely awesome food and the service people are nice and courteous! This place is a homerun especially with their pricing if you haven't had it try it you won't be disappointed!! read more

Took my girls to try out this spot and was very disappointed. We all ordered a quarter white meat with 2 sides and the chicken was super dry and cold, felt like we were chewing rubber. It's like they gave us leftovers of what was cut. The sides options were good. read more

Terrible customer service! I ordered my food online using HubGrub and entered the restaurant five minutes past the time my order was promised to be ready. Six employees were behind the counter and I was totally ignored for 15 minutes and there was no line of customers waiting to be helped. When I finally asked for help, one lady at the counter told me to wait a minute. When she looked up, she asked me the name on my order, which I told her and she then asked to see my phone. She then located my bag of food which she motioned for me to take, not bothering to hand me my bag as I saw her hand directly to prior customers. Her attitude was rude and dismissive. Why have six people behind the counter if they can't be bothered to notice a single customer who has not been helped? Never going back. read more

Chicken was OK but the fries they gave me were fried with old oil and were disgusting. This place doesn't. Care about serving quality food in the least. Stay away. read more

Cocorico - Fries are fried with old oil! Chicken was the only thing that tasted ok. They clearly don't care about the food quality or their customers. - Peruvian Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Ordered my food online through eat 24 as directed by the website @ 6:32 I placed it to be ready for 7:00pm. I arrived there at 7:02 and my order had not been prepared nor ready and there was about 7+ orders ahead of me. People arrived there at the same time as I did placed there order and left before I did. I didn't receive my food until 7:20. I was on my break from springfield town center picking up my food and ended wasting my whole break just waiting on my food. There didn't seem to be any manager on site, I demand to speak to someone about this situation. Will not be coming here again! read more

Used to be my favorite place to eat. I went there for lunch today. The chicken is much smaller and does not taste the same. Also the side salad came socked with dressing. It was way over normal. I returned the salad and asked them to get me dressing on a side. See pic attached with the salad without the dressing. It is very old. Not sure what happened to that place. read more

I love this place. The chicken tastes the amazing and the sauces are soo good. I have tried other Peruvian places but this is the best one. Make sure to also get their garlic sauce. I haven't tried other menu items only the chicken. read more

The pupusas were not how I've had them anywhere else (much larger but much thinner) but still delicious! Plenty of shrimp in the burrito and the yuca was moist. I was not a fan of the chicken-just not as flavorful as other restaurants in the area. Yellow sauce was good but green sauce could use some work. read more

OK food and stays open later than most Peruvian chicken spots around the Annandale/Springfield area.

I love the chicken here. We always get the 1/2 Chicken Platter with Yucca, Rice, Beans, and Plantains. Great healthy dinner choices without sacrificing calories. The service is quick too. I use the online ordering through Yelp to save time. read more

Orderd a Barito bowl. what I got was A sour cream soup bowl with 2 tablespoons of rice and three pieces of lettuce and six beans.

*HALAL CHICKEN* One of the BEST! Peruvian style chicken restaurants . It says Halal right on the doors . I have been to several other Peruvian style chicken places and this one stood out . The sauces give the chicken a lot of flavor and the chicken is cooked to perfection..not too dry and the crust is so tasty! Rice and beans are delicious as well . It's pretty decent proportions or else I would tried the other sides . I prefer this over Super Pollo read more

Don't listen to the naysayers. This place is fabulous. Love, love this chicken. Perfectly seasoned, moist, and so mouth watering. I am salivating already. Love the fried yucca dipped in mayo. Yummy. There's another Peruvian place near Ballston that everyone raves about, forgot the name, but that place is terrible with no freaking parking and so damn crowded. Will never drive all the way down there when this chicken is just as good, plus never crowded and we always take out and bring the chicken, sides, and flan home. This place is superb compared to the one in Ballston and Edy's on Bailey's. Edy's is always crowded so I hate it and it's owned by Asians so not authentic enough plus they don't take credit cards?!? So I haven't been to Edy's in a good 11 years. read more

So delicious! I definitely recommend the saltados mixto, best dish I've ever tasted it is a great portion with great taste.
