First time going to this restaurant with my boyfriend. When we came in the afternoon and it wasn't busy, just with delivery's. So we had the place to ourselves and the waitress was very nice. The place was very clean and the food was delicious. Big portions and nice presentation. We also had sangria and it was strong and delicious. Bathroom was a nice size and clean. Wide selection of food and drinks. I do recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was ok, nothing spectacular, a little pricey. Server got my order wrong after I asked for the corvina ceviche 3x, instead gave me the mixto and I'm allergic to shellfish so couldn't enjoy that. Place was empty when I got there but the decor was nice. read more

Found this place walking and it didn't disappoint! Best Peruvian rotisserie chicken I've had, and that's saying something in the land of Astoria. I like white meat, it wasn't dry in the least bit. Juicy, tender and full of flavor! Even the bones had seasoning. Anticucho Especial (Beef heart skewers) were good, not my favorite. The potatoes that come with the dish though were delicious. The sangria and margarita were so good and made well. The vibe of this place was nice and the bathroom was clean. Service was great, they checked in on us often to see if we needed anything. Will be coming back. read more

Was just at your establishment and had a pretty terrible experience. If this is the best Peruvian food and experience, I'll pass. The manager, Rosario has little to no customer service tact... if I was a white customer, I would have gotten better service unfortunately. read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: casual, local favorite, authentic Sign out front says DPAQ, I think it's an acronym for something. Doesn't get too busy so the limited seating isn't really an issue. Nice + knowledgeable servers, although service might a little slow. What I Ordered: - Ceviche Special: fried + fresh calamari = game changer. well balanced, not too acidic. sweet potato was DELICIOUS (only if you like cinnamon). hefty portion size. red sauce is SPICY - Arroz con Mariscos: has a little spice kick. also HEALTHY portion size. good variety of seafood, but the crab was hard to eat without tools - Chicken Leg w/ Fries + Beans: very tender, a little salty (typical). decent portion size for lunch + the price. fries are a little plain on their own read more

We were too hungry to remember taking any pictures. Service was excellent. Restaurant is inviting and bright, until the evening and then they dim the lights and it looks really cool. Food was delicious! I had the Lomo Salteado and it was amazing. Not overly oily or salty. My husband had a salad and Churrasco. He said it was really well seasoned and the salad was fresh. Highly recommend Don Pollo. read more

Funny story...I meant to get tacos but the place I went to was closed during lunch time so I kept walking and landed on Don Pollo! What a satisfying lunch though. My SO and I got the half chicken lunch special that came with a side. It was empty on a Thursday afternoon so we had the place to ourselves. The server was very nice, who gave us our space and appeared as needed as we ate our food. I'd come back to try out other menu items. read more

Muy malo el pollo à la brasa no comido algo mas feo que Que en este lugar no lo recojiendo a nadie

I had the tallarin verde with steak and a red sangria. The tallarin was good but I make better pesto at home. The steak was too salty and had too much fat. The sangria was too sweet, it tasted like fruit juice. They were closed for a while to remodel, everything looks the same to me just new tables and chairs in the back. I told them the steak was too salty and the sangria was too sweet. They just said OK. read more

Don Pollo Astoria - sangria - Peruvian Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ordered: Build Your Own Lunch (~$10): 1/4 Pollo, Sweet Plantains, Spanish Rice with aji verde and aji amarillo sauces Aya's take: Solid lunch special deal. Rotisserie chicken had good flavor with a nice glaze and crispiness on the skin, the Spanish rice was seasoned well, and the plantains were deliciously fried. I really enjoyed both sauces with my preferred being the aji verde sauce. The cilantro and peppers really came to life with this dish. My only complaint is that there was a Yelp check-in offer to redeem a free beverage. The worker AND manager claimed they didn't know what it was and refused to honor it. If you're unable to honor your check-in offer, it's best to remove it completely to avoid the disappointment. read more

La sopa de pollo fue una decepcion..olia a pescado! Para mi que usaron la cuchara de la sopa de mariscos estaba horrible

Nice open roomy place. Staff was very friendly in explaining the menu and options. I ordered 2 different food choices to take home. Although I really wanted 3. There is always a next time. Music was at nice level where you can hear yourself think, for which I appreciated that and the prices where really good for the amount of food you were getting. It appears they have several regulars that come in. read more

I really like this place for their ceviche. Perfect portion & flavor. And everything else I've tried is really good too. The one thing I wasn't completely happy with was the anticucho as it is meant to be a thick cut of meat (heart) and it was just very thinly cut which takes away from From the experience. The service could be faster but I take the slow service in exchange of a delicious ceviche & papá a la huancaina. The drinks are pretty good too and they have a lunch special that I personally really enjoy. This a good solid Peruvian restaurant in an area that is really missing more options for this cuisine so I strongly suggest we support this business so it stays in the neighborhood! read more

Food is still consistently great. Good portions of protein in each dish, cooked very well. Service can be slow, especially for takeout. Have received things lukewarm, next to something piping hot that was clearly just cooked, after over an hour wait. The employees work very hard and fast, but seem to be often understaffed. We continue to return when not in a rush, but I think you have to be ready to wait. I hope they set the staff up for success with more help where possible. read more

This is my first time ordering at this place and Maybe the last time. I wanted to give a try since I dont have a peruvian restaurant near by. The Chicken: seasoned outside; bland and tasteless inside! If you dont put the green sauce it taste like plain boiled chicken. The beans: salty! Salty! Salty! The rice: it was okay! But pretty much everyone can make plain arroz amarillo! Salad: horrible! They hide all the yellowish lettuce with toppings! Cucumbers were old and bland! Looks like I had this salad sitting in my fridge for 2 days and it has been only 20 min on my table! Went straight to the garbage! read more

Service service excellent. Some wonderful flavored chicken Nice spices. It's a pretty place

Ordered for pick up on a Saturday for dinner and was not disappointed. The Arroz Con Mariscos was delicious and so plentiful, not too salty and definitely mouth watering. Also had the cheese empanada, beef empanada and guava/cheese empanada combo which was very good. My girlfriend had the nazca, and the chicken was basically coming off the bone, so good. Huge portions for what you're paying for, which is also very nice. Most likely will have leftovers for the next day. Will definitely order again. read more

Came here with the gf just a few nights ago and decided to write this up since we passed by Don Pollo and are already planning our next visit. I got the ceviche mixto and asked them to make it extra spicy, the gf got the Churrasco. Both plates were to die for! The steak was cooked medium and had such amazing flavor on it. It must've been marinated for hours in garlic and a few other spices cause that thing was bangin'! Her pasta was amazing, cooked to perfection and I can't say enough about how great that pesto sauce was. My only recommendation for those looking to try the ceviche is that if you're coming hungry is that you should get a side of white rice. It goes amazing with the ceviche marinade and will help fill you up! read more

Cute place. Drinks were surprisingly good. The anticuchos were solid. The ceviche was bad- bad cut of fish and very fishy. I had to send it back , waitress was very sweet and took it back. Looking At the other reviews it looks like no one orders the ceviche here. Maybe we should have tried something else. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE. My wife and I had food Poisoning twice. Last week I order chicken and rice and instantly after 5 minutes of eating the meal I start felling bad and throw up all night and then last night we give the place a second chance because we order a few time before and never had any issues and we tough was maybe something else but this time my wife throw up all night she is with fever and body aches. ( she order chicken saltado, ceviche ) We will never order from this place ever again. Uber eats and seamless need's to check up with their rating because for some reason is 4.7 in both apps and we can't add a review. while in reality the ratings are very bad from this place. I wish I saw all this reviews.. please be aware. read more

Don Pollo Astoria - Peruvian chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Astoria, New York

The food is reality good, especially the Green sauce & rotisserie! the friendliness top notch. The prices-a bit high for take out. The cost for half a chicken is 6 times the cost for a whole one at Costco. But i understand the restaurant industry is struggling Remembering to put everything in the bag? Needs improvement. This is the second time I've ordered & something was forgotten. There always apologetic & compensate with something extra, which I'm glad. But some o can't always turn around & come right back, this is an issue To fix that, you have to have a habit of checking off with a pen, each item, as you put it in the bag. If the food wasn't so good, i wouldn't come back, & i wouldn't post $13 for whole chicken, When i can get a whole one from Costco, 6 blocks away. Don Pollo is a closer walk, & that chicken really is good. read more

We have made here many times. .... But the last 2 times .... Everything was saltttty we were there for a total of 38 mins and had three to four bites and we packed it all up to go . We did tell them it's salty and I think the table behind us said the same read more

Most of the Peruvian restaurants are closed due the pandemic, so I found Don Pollo and I thought it would be good to order from them. I was wrong and I will never order from this place again! The food was Salty and dried! read more

Just tried this restaurant for the first time and ordered to go. The staff was very friendly and the wait was very short. I ordered the mixed ceviche and aji de gallina. The yellow sauce was really tasty and portions are a really good size. Got a passion fruit dessert which was by far my favorite thing so would recommend ordering one. Will definitely be ordering from this place again. Oh and P.S. order the Chicha Morada to drink! read more

This place is amazing. Got the don pollo combo with chicken, chicken chaufa, salchipapas. The chicken is out of this world. Has to be the best roasted chicken in Astoria, easily. I'm angry at myself for putting my food down so that I can write this review and am ending it here so I can keep eating. ORDER FROM HERE, ITS DELICIOUS! read more

I loved the chaufa super good, nice location and staff. The rotisserie chicken was also great!!

I had the Chaufa mista plate which is a mixed fried rice plate with chicken, beef and shrimp. I was not impressed with the cuts of chicken that they used. They seemed to be low quality meat cuts like gizzards and other organ chicken meat. If they are trying to save money I would not suggest this as a way of doing it. read more

As a Peruvian who is a die-hard for the classics, i can say that this place is legit! We ordered the Rotisserie Chicken (Pollo a la Brasa) and Aji de Gallina and both were excellent, properly cooked and very nicely served for a to-go order. The portions were also quite generous. I'm looking forward to try the rest of the menu items, but based on these two orders, I'm sure they won't disappoint! read more

As a Peruvian, I do not recommend it, because it is one of the worst "Peruvian" restaurants I have visited, horrible service, inattentive and no cordiality. It seems that you enter a funeral home, not a restaurant, because the waiters are grumpy. Only when they charge you do they smile and bully you for the tip. I am Peruvian and I know the taste of Peruvian food and in that restaurant, they sell anything but Peruvian food. ZERO CORDIALITY. ZERO FOOD. ZERO ATTENTION. ZERO IN CULINARY ORIGINALITY. AND ZERO IN TASTE. STAY AWAY FROM THAT RESTAURANT. I do not recommend any dish. They are all "bad IMITATION of Peruvian food" Me, to that pseudo Peruvian restaurant, I'M NOT GOING BACK AGAIN! As a Peruvian, I recommend, PERUANOS ORIGINALES restaurant, as PUNTA SAL, in Sunnyside and WARIQUE in Jackson Heights read more

Came here for cheese empanadas because I was craving them. Ordered them and they ended up being cheese and guava although they menu says it's just cheese. Why not put that in the menu? What if someone is allergic and gets sick because of this? Horrible! (And they taste disgusting too) such a waste of money! read more

I've ordered delivery from here a bunch in the last several months. I usually get the lomo saltado with some sides. I've been noticing that the order comes with less and less meat every time. I'm basically paying $19 for potatoes, sauce, onions and rice with a couple small pieces of meat. I'll probably stop ordering from here. Seems way too over priced for what I'm ordering. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant, especially since Mezquite closed. Friendly service, excellent maduros. The chicken is offensively salty, dry and baked, not rotisserie. The beans are equally salty and with those two in any bite you can't taste anything but salt. The rice was good, appropriately seasoned, but combined w the other ingredients another salt bomb. The expected highlight green sauce was the consistency of oil. I'll try again once you settle in. read more

Happy hour margaritas were addicting and the food portions were amazing! Our waitress was such a sweetheart too! We'll be back for sure

Pretty decent spot. Came here for early lunch. Food was fresh and flavorful. Server was attentive. The only issue with this place is parking. read more
