Delicious restaurant that all the locals seem to go to! Note; they're cash only so make sure you have cash before coming here. I ordered the lomo saltado combination which came with rice and beans ($16.75) and my husband ordered the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans. We thought the rice was cooked really well and the meats were flavored and their green sauce delicious! You basically order and pay. They ask if it's to go or to stay. If you're staying, once you pay- you find a seat and someone will bring the food to you. We really enjoyed eating here. It's a no frills dining experience but the food is all worth it. read more

El Pollo Peruano - a plate of rice, beans, and chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, New York

To those who are searching for authentic Peruvian cuisine. This is not it. I ordered Lomo Saltado because of the reviews, and probably people giving 5 stars to their Lomo Saltado have never tried authentic Peruvian Lomo Saltado. (Just look at the Lomo Saltado pics). This restaurant is advertised as Peruvian. Trust me it is not (I'm Peruvian) The Lomo Saltado I ordered was tasteless, the meat was disgusting. The taste was not even close to how it is supposed to taste, when I complained, the manager said that it is my idea "people come from the Lomo", he said. I was just speechless, and that's when I realized the manager is not Peruvian so he's just selling the name of the dish without caring for the flavor. Latin American restaurants are using the "Peruvian Cuisine" label to attract customers to their restaurants. I've been to Colombian, Ecuadorian, Bolivian restaurants advertised as Peruvian to attract more customers. If you really want to enjoy authentic Peruvian Cuisine, this place is not even close to be called as such. read more

Good as always been going to this place ever since 2005 they keep their quality and quantity only that they change their aji used to be way better read more

The food is AMAZING. & by amazing I mean it. From the rice, to the chicken & the ribs. Even tho it's pollo peruano, They do not sell just chicken they do sell ribs also. If your going to get any plate at this place make sure you get the green sauce it's a must 100%, You can't enjoy the food w. Out it. Trust me. The green sauce goes w. Everything. read more

So my coworker suggested stopping at this spot for some rotisserie chicken and I'm so glad I did! Probably the top 3 best rotisserie chicken plates I've ever had! Such amazing flavor to the skin and the chicken was nice and juicy- not dry like most places. Also had some pork fried rice and sweet plantains. Everything was just so delicious! Very reasonably priced and the place was really nice and clean. Also- the staff was very pleasant. I'm definitely coming back here! read more

El Pollo Peruano - Rotisserie chicken and pork fried rice combo- delicious!! - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, New York

You don't have to tell me twice... I've traveled through the rain. I walked through the hot sun through the jungles of the neighborhoods. All for the longing for the taste of that yummie roasted chicken. First you order at the register what you want. I usually go for #4 ($4.50): 1/4 chicken with a side of salad and fries with a can of Inca Cola (sweet nectar of the God's...mmm, tastes like bubble gum. Then you give your receipt to the friendly wait staff and they seat you. They then quickly bring over your beverages and a cup of jalapeno sauce. Within a few minutes, you will be served. I usually swirl ketchup nicely on my food (except for the salad) and then douse everything with the jalapeno sauce. There's something with the blend of the two that adds more kick Not in it for chicken? That's okay...they have other items on their menu also. Totally recommend the Lomo Saltado, which is stir-fry beef with onions w/a light gravy sauce on rice with beans. It is an ultimate comfort food and belly filler. Thirsty? Inca Cola is the way to go, to burp away all gaps left in your stomach as you inhale the food. Try the chica morado, which is a nice refreshing drink made mainly of purple corn & fruit. The cinnamon & cloves spices leaves this great taste in your mouth (a taste like apple pie). For prices that cheap and the quality/quantity of the food you get, it's all worth it... read more

I try coming to this restaurant as most as possible. They serve excellent Peruvian food, you have a view of the kitchen and everything looks very clean and seem to use good ingredients. Food comes pretty quick and the staff is friendly. Highlights : Roasted Chicken Lomo Saltado Sweet and Sour Roast Pork Mixed fried Rice Green Hot Sauce (Extremely addictive and elevates each dish.) These are excellent dishes I recommend everyone to try. They also have nice sides fried cassava, french fries and they have a good purple corn drink called Chicha Morada. This drink is an acquired taste it has cinnamon and cloves which are flavors I'm not used to being in a drink. The Green Hot Sauce is a must try its wonderful and not too spicy, its perfect. I would buy gallons of these if I know where to purchase it. I rate this five stars because being in this restaurant I haven't had any complaints everything is spot on. I suggest everyone to try it and try Peruvian food which is surprisingly good. read more

The lady was super rude. Got our order wrong. Once we we were leaving she started screaming out for tip. How do she expect a tip? People should really learn manners. read more

Oh man...1/2 a chicken, pork fried rice, salad, and some fragrant, delicious green sauce on the side. Also as mentioned by a previous review, you will indeed hear the Chinese guy behind the counter speak fluent spanish (which is pretty dope). This place is most well known for its rotisserie chicken, and it's very solid chicken. Semi-crispy skin and moist, tender meat throughout the bird. Pork fried rice with a simple lettuce/tomato/cucumber salad is decent, very Chinese-takeout-ish however which is why I will give this 4 stars instead of 5. But without a doubt, go for the chicken here - you won't be disappointed. And don't forget, get some extra sauce cause it's good enough to bathe in! read more

El Pollo Peruano - Platanos fried is dirty oil and super dry - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, New York

See all

This is my go-to spot for Peruvian chickens when I need enough for a party. Everyone loves these chicks! Just the right amount of seasoning and flavor. OHHH, and that green sauce is to die for!!! I have always just walked into the establishment and ordered 3 or more chickens and walked out happy. Not to mention how amazing the car smells on the ride home. It's a wonder they even make it home! I know that I can pretty much order anything on this menu and their food will always be excellent! If you haven't tried Peruvian chicken, you are in for a treat. read more

I absolutely love love love this place. Its right across the street from my boyfriend's house which is a plus. They're roasted chicken is delicious, along with their pork fried rice & special sauce. They also have ribs which are great. The pricing is amazing too. You get a well portioned plate for $8. Really good spot if you want to try Peruvian food. read more

El Pollo Peruano - 1/4 chicken w/ pork fried rice & salad ($8) - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, New York

This place is a crap show. I say this as a previous Peruvian restaurant waitress who knows how absolutely insane clients are. Service was absolutely horrible. With about 6 tables empty each with 4 seats They didn't accommodate a group of 5 people and a baby. The sauces served were watered down. They also didn't have mayo or coke. It was one of those moments when everything that could go wrong did. Never. Again. Este lugar es solo y pura basura. Yo he trabajado en restaurantes de pollo peruano (Don Alex) y le lo ingrato que la gente es pero este lugar se pasa. El servicio asquerosamente horrible. Tenían como 4 mesas de 4 sillas vacías y no pudieron acomodar un grupo de 5 personas y un bebé. no tenían mayonesa ni Coca Cola. Las salsas que nos dieron estaban aguadas y obviamente viejas. Me importa 0 lo supuestamente "bueno" que sea el tal pollo. Ni por error en un sueño volveré. read more

Great food, clean surroundings. Waiter service too. Good prices. I recommend the roast pork / sweet & sour. It's awesome. Share covered it so well... =[ read more

The chicken is delicious and moist. The sauce that comes with the combo meal is a great compliment to the chicken. The combo comes with pork fried rice and a salad with a Slice of cucumber and tomato. We come and eat here anytime we r in the neighborhood. Never disappointed. read more

El Pollo Peruano - I just love this meal - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, New York

I decided to give the place a shot again and found a fucking roach in my food. When I brought my plate up the counter I was endlessly apologized to, and asked if I wanted another plate. Why in gods good name would I want another plate? To play roach roulette? I've never been so disgusted in my life. read more

I decided to give this place a try after seeing all the reviews. It was sooo worth it. I ordered the lomo and pollo saltado to go along with tostones & maduros. It was a ton of food and the price was incredible. The food was sooo delicious! I shared my dishes with a friend of mine for lunch and she also enjoyed every single bite. Next time I'll definitely eat in because when you do you actually get a cup filled of the green sauce. It's just sooo good on everything!! read more

My co-workers and I love this place to solve our lunch or dinner issues and they tend to you fast. Their chicken combos are definitely worth the relatively long walk over there, very moist and flavorful. Green sauce is good, wouldn't call it amazing, but I love to dip my fries into it. Funny, didn't realize they had a phone number till i yelped it hahaha. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is always good. Service is quick and friendly. The prices are great too.

Poor customer service!!! They don't answer the phone and they also do not listen to the customer when the do answer the phone they just yell at the customers when they call ask try to ask a question read more

This place has gone downhill. They use smaller chickens that are 80% bones with the sorry excuse that they are less likely to come out raw on the inside. Ummm...buddy, I'm a chef. Give the chicken more time if that's an issue. So basically they raised the prices and now there is less food on the plate. Won't ever be coming back to this place. You guys lost another long-time customer. read more

I ordered 1/2 chicken w. pork fried rice. It is perfect. The chicken is juicy and tasty! The green sauce is a classic! I will definitely recommend to my friends. read more

Food was awesome! Got two half a chickens with fried rice and salad. Only thing is its cash only. Walked in and ordered and left with my food in about 10 mins. read more

The food was great. The staff couldn't be nicer. The food was well priced. Right near US Open Matches. We will be back.

Chickens is really good and that green sauce makes it all the more worth it. Plus it's great to hear the Asian guy behind the counter speaking Spanish read more

I was around that area and took a chance my son wanted chinese my wife South America food what best then a Peruano food you have both. My wife had the lomo salteado My son had the fried rice with ribs I had the 1/4 chicken with fried rice with sweet plantains the best out three was mine the chicken with fried rice wifey liked so much that I had to order a half chicken togo thats how much she like it It doesn't get the complete 5 stars is don't have the credit machine Only Cash people but it was worth it we left full and happy not that expensive next time we around that are going back read more

This no frills spots serves delicious roast chicken. As far as sides - I had the fries and salad which were pretty standard. Unfortunately the salad comes with a thousand island -esque dressing. I would just prefer to use their delicious green sauce and will do that next time. It's a bit of weird space (long and narrow...that's what she said?) but the tasty food more than makes up for it. read more

Omg I love this place. The fried rice with half chicken is sooo addicting & that green sauce ahhhh!!! LOVE IT price is great also!

I really love this place. I come here all the time and always order the rotisserie chicken, it is just that good. The green sauce as another reviewer mentioned is simply addictive. The prices are also very reasonable, you will definitely leave full because the portions are just right to slightly large. I took off one star because the only improvement this place needs is the customer service, the waitresses spend too much time talking and not attending customers. If you order take out, this would be a five star place to try. Be sure to ask them for some green sauce in a little plastic container with your to-go order. read more

Sweet and Sour Roast Pork and their fried rice are amazing All the rest are so so . But its a much better choice (for me ) then the asian food in the area its a nice change of spices and i really enjoy my time here read more

This place is horrible and and it never caters to the customers need. I would give it Negative stars if I could. It's nasty and dirty and if you order any chicken, and you want breast then GOOD luck if they have it at that moment because if they feel like just giving you thigh then that's all they'll give you. Sort of dictating what you can only eat. I walked out because I wanted a basic 1/4 chicken with BREAST and rice and salad, and they DIDNT WANT TO GIVE ME THAT, all they had at that moment was thighs. They didn't want to cut another breast side even though they had about ten cooked chicken in visible plain view. Horrendous service. A you can only eat what they want you to eat NOT what you want to order. Good luck if you go getting what you want!!!! It's horrible and it sucks.!!!!!! read more

Something is wrong with there food I use 2 love it I use to eat it almost every week end with my wife and 2 year old son and my 6 year old daughter. We would order the fried rice with the chicken..
