    summary: Don Pollo is a "chain" restaurant of Peruvian chicken and it's got generous portion sizes and tasty side options that are pretty synonymous with Peruvian chicken restaurants. In one word, I would describe Don Pollo as solid. There's a good selection of items on the menu and to me Peruvian chicken spots have become kind of similar to how KFC/Popeyes felt back in the day where families could go in and order a platter-style selection for their family. That's what we happened to do that day where we ordered the rotisserie chicken for a family of 4. The portion sizes were generous and all of the sides (plaintains, fries, salad, and mac&cheese) were tasty. The service is pretty "DIY" where you order with a cashier and everything at that point is on you (bus your own tables). The venue itself was ok. The location is tucked away in a pretty old strip mall and a lot of the restaurant kind of reflects that. The bathrooms felt a bit old and required a passcode to get in. All in all, I don't have complaints for our experience here and it was a tasty stop that was perfect for a family.

    Food was made well and served hot! I had a pleasant experience. Location was clean. The person taking my order was kind and helpful with any questions I had.

    Pretty standard spot. I stopped by Don Pollo after an intense workout at a nearby gym, and I was very impressed with the various chicken items on Don Pollo's menu. For my first visit, I went with a standard chicken stew. The stew was very delicious. OMG, the chicken was so juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The price of my stew, which came with rice and a small salad was about $13. I thought the price was fair for the area. I thought the restaurant was well-maintained, and it was pretty clean. Also, the service was pretty on point. Well, the service pretty much involves ordering your food at the counter, and waiting for someone to call your number when the food is ready for pick up. Since there are a lot of Latinos who visit this spot, they may call your number in Spanish. Overall, this was a pretty decent spot, and I have a feeling that I probably will visit again after an intense workout.

    I can't complain anything about their rotisserie chicken, it was nice flavor. The portion and price was ok. Don Pollo of Glenmont, it is located in Glenmont Shopping Center, where is quite old plaza in this area. If you look from outside, you might feel worry the condition of the restaurant but I was surprised a little when I got inside, their dining room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Also a plenty of free outdoor parking lot is available. Anyway, the reason why I didn't give them 5 stars because this was my first time to try them and I got the wrong item right away! Even worse the one they gave me wrong I don't like it at all. (if something that I can eat, that might be fine) p.s. I ordered 1/4 dark chicken with 2 sides - mac&cheese/plaintain but I got salad instead of mac&cheese. Salad is never my favorite, so I had to trash it. p.s. I ordered for pick up via UbeEat app. After this happened, I let the app. know about my issue and they refunded me for only the wrong item. Not that bad.

    1/2 Chicken with 2 Sides (black beans & rice, potato salad)

    I ordered a half chicken with two sides. The potato salad and beans were somewhat bland. Neither side had very much flavor. I wasn't very impressed with either of them. However, the chicken is more than outstanding. It was tender and falls off the bone. The flavor explodes into your taste buds. Colonel Sanders of KFC fame uses 11 secret herbs, and spices. I don't think Don Pollo stops short of 25. I recommend eating here. The side dishes are not much to talk about, but the chicken is easily in my top five.

    Really good above-average chicken joint. Their green sauce isn't as spicy and the chicken for the most part is well seasoned but slightly on the top-much salt side... but sall good cause Jesus is taking the wheel... but that's my minor complaint. Their mash potatoes are excellent and while I normally don't like yucca fries... theirs is pretty good. Unless that was a regular stake fry I ate. Nope... it was a yucca fry. I stand by my previous assessment. Their food is awesome. They're also pretty friendly and the service is very quick.

    What are great place! We ordered the whole chicken, fried rice and green beans. The chicken is…read moreabsolutely amazing. Comes out piping hot and fresh, tons of white meat and the sauces are delicious. The chicken is cooked on a wood fired rotisserie so it has a great flavor from the wood. Service is great. We sat at a table and they brought it to our table. Get extra napkins...that chicken is juicy and easier to eat with your hands.

    I have always preferred this location. Results across locations has been inconsistent for years…read more This time in Beltsville I ordered two have chicken white. The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

    I was craving Peruvian chicken so much after my round of golf at the university of Maryland golf…read morecourse. As I was driving back to my place, I found this restaurant at the strip mall. I was there around 3 pm. It was not busy as it was post lunch hour. I ordered quarter dark chicken with side of fried rice and yuka fries. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Fall off the bones and very delicious. I loved the nicely roasted chicken skin as well. Fried rice was good. I have had better fried rice at other places. Yuka fried with their green spicy sauce went really well. Nice and crispy. Ambiance is alright. It's a self serve place like most of the other Peruvian restaurants. Plenty of parking space.

    Dear Chicken Loco Latin American Cuisine * Chillum,…read moreManagement, 6587 Ager road Hyattsville, MD 20782 United States +1 (301) 422-0087 I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an experience I had at one of your locations. I recently placed a family order at your restaurant, and when I was ready to pay, I was informed that there would be a $3 additional charge if I chose to pay with a credit card. I was told that if I paid in cash, I would only be charged the regular price. When I asked the cashier about this policy, she stated that the new owner had implemented this charge. I believe this kind of fee is unfair and deceptive. Customers should be clearly informed before ordering that there will be an extra charge for using a card, and this fee should be prominently displayed--if it's allowed at all. This practice feels like an attempt to squeeze extra money from customers without transparency. It comes across as dishonest and exploitative. I urge you to look into this location and ensure that all charges are properly disclosed and fair. Adding surprise fees at the register does not reflect well on your brand and damages customer trust. I would appreciate a response explaining whether this is an official company policy or a local decision, and what steps will be taken to address it.
