El Gran delivers as expected. Location is a bit sketchy but it's convenient and offers ample free parking. On this particular visit, I opted for a Chicken Quesadilla and a Mexican Coke. After a few minutes, my order was ready for pick up, complete with napkins and utensils. The quesadilla was nicely prepared with a healthy balance of chicken and cheese, accompanied by sour cream and a dash of lettuce. Service was fast and friendly. EGP is definitely one of the better options in the area! read more

The food was OK. I ordered a whole chicken. They cut it into four pieces and gave me two white sauces and two green sauces. So four people need to share the two sauces, got it. read more

The food smelled amazing and tasted just the same. Great portions and the price was not bad at all. Definitely glad I tried it out as I work close by and want to try something different next time. read more

They have the most fresh chicken ever and the sauces are so good- ask for extra of each flavor- there are three sauces. When we order fajitas we don't get wraps but I think maybe fajita just refers to the meat? But it's amazing. The chaufa rice is my favorite side. The food comes out quick they are nice and it's easy to order. The restaurant is clean and well lit. read more

Wow! The food here is delicious. The grilled shrimp along with the mashed potatoes were absolutely beautiful. Immaculate chicken. The food here is made with love. We ordered for a family of 7 and everyone loved it. Can't wait to order again. read more

Food is always hot, fresh and delicious! A favorite spot for my husband and I. Usually I do the 1/4 white with plantains and green beans. I also love their mashed potatoes. The pollo saltado will now be part of my rotation. So good! read more

They NEVER miss! My food is always great! I love the lomo saltado. It's tender and juicy! Yum! Check them out!

This is a solid takeout spot (even decent for dine in). The roasted chicken is normally deliciously succulent, tasty, flavorful, and juicy. I've always enjoyed the sides. This time, I got the carne asada. Although very flavorful, the meat itself lacked tenderness. The fried rice was a little hard, and the string beans were tasty. I would recommend this place for a home style dinner. read more

El Gran Pollo II - Carne asada, fried rice, string beans, roasted potatoes - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I was not expecting much. I ordered from Grubhub because I wanted something healthier than cafeteria food or fast food. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best chicken I have ever tasted. I have been all over the world with the military and I thought the rotisserie chicken from Iraq was the tastiest... this stuff puts that to shame. I want to quit my job and go work there so I can find out how they do It. Amazing chicken. read more

I've been falling in love with Peruvian food since moving to Maryland. The unique flavor, the fire grilled chicken, and the customer care they give is so amazing. I came here on a Friday night to get dinner to go. The chicken was very flavorful and moist. I really enjoyed the amount of char that it had. However, the rice and beans were very very bland and beans weren't cooked properly. The plantains were yummy, could of been fried about a minute more, but still tasty. Service was okay. I've heard great things about this place so I will definitely give it another try since it's near our home, but my first visit wasn't anything to remember. read more

I went here for lunch/dinner and got a half chicken with string beans and potatoes. I really do wish they would put cheese on my potatoes but anywho. Sometimes the chicken can be a little undone but other then that that chicken is amazing. The stringbeans are well seasoned with the onion slices. When entering and get to the counter you are usually greeted right away unless they are in an indepth conversation. It takes no time for them to have your prepared and you paying unless you are getting something made. I haven't experienced anything else here but will try something soon. They do have seating available often. I have never dined in. Everytime I have picked up for it is very clean inside. No they don't have on mask when they are there. But I keep mine on the whole time. Stop through and enjoy a meal, eat some now and save some for later. read more

Que bueno. Every good. Love their lomo saltado. Food is always fresh, though I do wish there was more food for the price. Chicken is good, especially with the sauce that they offer. read more

We started with their ceviche. I have never gotten so much ceviche in my life. The quality was great! The corn nuts that came on the side were a fun texture. For dinner my husband had the tacos. He fell in love! I devoured the cajun tilapia. One of the folks who works there said it was his favorite. I can see why. It was DELICIOUS! We both felt like we were transported to a cafe in Peru. Best date night in a long time!! Thank you all. We will be back soon. read more

Chicken is very flavorful and seasoned just right. Sides are mediocre at best, but most Peruvian places with the exception of Sardis has bland sides. Average prices here. No complaints customer service was good, everyone was friendly. read more

Consistently great food! Frequently get the half chicken, coal fired, and full of flavor. Recently tried the burrito bowl was also great. Family owned and delicious food. Support local! read more

Delicious food - chicken, gyro, sauces, sticky rice, even salad was great. Highly recommend!

Thanks yelp for letting us know this place. It was 8pm on a weekday, hubby and I were hungry as hell and we decided we want to try this new place right beside Home Depot. This place hides at the end of a plaza but the interior is spacious and clean. I have to say their chicken is even better than chicken rico, the skin was so crispy and the meat was marinated so well even the bones tasted great. Also the price was extremely cheap, 10.5 bucks, half chicken+2 sides, fed 2 adults for dinner. They also have a bunch of other Peruvian items, even ceviche, not sure if those are as good as the chicken, but will come back for the chicken. read more

awesome! soooo good . try u wont b disspaointed . a lot of juice in your ceviche . a super huge peruvian choclo and spicy if u want it

First time trying this place and I will be back. Located in a shopping center, parking is no issue and the sign was well read so very easy to find. I called in my order and pick it up later. The restaurant was much bigger than I expected, Plenty of room to have a lunch or group. Note they do not have fountain soda but have lots of bottle/can drinks inside. My order was ready when I arrived. I ordered the chicken tacos. Really liked the fresh corn tortilla. The sauce that came with it was good as well. Really balanced the tastes. Gave four stars because I would like to have some other options than the sauce for toppings and the price was expensive ($10 for three tacos and a can soda). I had a taste of their lamb as well. Will be getting that next time! read more

El Gran Pollo II - Chicken Tacos - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The fried rice is always good. I usually get the grilled shrimp and it's always seasoned just right.

Wish I had taken photos but the food didn't stay out our bellies long enough. I ordered the mix fajita platter which was super huge portion and still came with a side. As a side I chose the cream spinach. The cream spinach was too good for words. The chicken, shrimp and steak were tender and seasoned to perfection sautéed with onions and peppers. My wife had the steak tacos. She is still raving about them and we'll probably be taking a trip back this weekend. When I go back I think I'll give the rotisserie chicken a try because the smell was Godly. Five stars read more

Oh my goodness what a awesome spot and the food is 10.0 across the board. I will be def coming back for more. read more

This spot is near and dear to my heart I began eating here when they first opened and was instantly impressed. Now I stop in when I can the chicken is always cooked to perfection and the flavors are bold not to mention the sauce is so good. This is a place you have to check out make sure you get the green beans as a side they are fantastic read more

Very good food. My dad when for Fire Grilled Chicken for me and the muchachos and let me tell you!! One of the best Peruvian chickens I've ever tried. 5 stars well deserved. read more

Holy four letter word that was delish! I was in need of grub near work and was lucky to find this place thanks to Yelp! It's in a shopping center and easy to park. The restaurant is pretty big and has an ice cream station up front with Hershey's ice cream. The place is clean and pretty with this glitter thing on the wall. The staff was nice and greeted me right away. The menu is huge so I can try a lot of different things! Today I got the 1/4 white meat chicken with plantains and fried rice. It was really, really good. The chicken juicy, flavorful and hot! The sides were pretty perfect too. Excited to find this place! read more

I nearly lost my mind when I saw a Peruvian chicken spot opened up so close to my house! I normally had to travel to Eastern Ave for my fix. Very good flavor on chicken. Great decor to sit in and dine. read more

El Gran Pollo II - There is a lot of space in the dinning room. - Peruvian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I've not tried the one in Towson simply because this one was closer to where I lived. Found this little gem on Yelp to try something new. Oh my gosh... we went back 3 more times that week. Obviously the roasted chicken (rotisserie style) is what brought us back... ... and the plantains...and that "crack sauce". I'm in the I.E. now and there's no place around here that has that "crack sauce". It's fresh, spicy and it builds. It's addicting. Inside is roomy with plenty of tables and seating. You also have a nice view of those delicious chickens turning. read more

Another reviewer talked about how the food here brings her joy and I could not agree more. The food here is tasty, hot and fresh. I will come here after a crappy day at work or a shitty date or any number of reasons and the food works its magic and instantly puts me in a great mood:-). How could you not be when you're eating probably the best chicken, rice and beans in the Baltimore area. Its a truly magical place and well deserving of your business. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh. They serve a good portion for your money. I literally eat here at least 2-3 times a week. lol The staff is always professional and friendly. Probably the best place to eat in this entire neighborhood. Not kidding. read more

Yum yum yum. This place is such a great find. I love it more than the other Peruvian spots I've tried around the city. I was looking for a quick meal while my child attended dance class and my husband and I found this place. It has a lot of seating and is usually empty on Wednesday evenings. There is always fresh chicken coming out and sides aren't usually sitting there for too long. We get the special of the whole chicken with 3 sides and either 3 sodas or a large Inca. We get all dark meat and it's usually cooked to perfect. Perfect seasoning and very flavorful skin. The plantains are always perfect cooked as well as the chicken fried rice. The green beans are a hit or miss but are always fresh. The staff are nice but could be a little warmer. Customer service is very important to me. Worth a try if you are in that area. Perfect for picking up dinner when you're too tired to cook. read more

The chicken was not flavorful like others I've had. I had to add salt. Also they skimp on the sauce I ordered 2 bowls and they only gave 2 sauces for each bowl. When I asked for more, I was charged 50 cents. Not to mention the food was below average and the service was also. read more

Been back several times. Always tasty. Never super busy. Staff friendly. It seems to be mostly take out although there are tables available.

Chicken - 5/5 - super juicy, love the seasoning Chaufa - 5/5 - very good. Love mixing the sauces on it Vegetables - 3/5 - I like they had a large variety of vegs in the mix. Needs seasoning. read more
