    This is what the new Mr. Pollo is serving for yuca.
    Jerry B.

    Unfortunately Mr. Pollo is under new management and the quality of the food is not the same. I stopped in to pick up some yuca along with rice and beans to go. Sadly, the yuca was the worst I've ever been served and I've been to MANY Peruvian restaurants throughout Northern Virginia. Another thing I noticed for the first time was they weren't cooking rotisserie chickens and there were no customers in the restaurant. However, they did increase the size of their buffet style ready to serve lunch/dinner meals. That's where the beans and rice that I ordered came from which was very dry and bland. Lastly, it appears that they're cutting back on the jalapeño sauce and the white sauce as the containers were only half full. The remodeled restaurant has a nice feel to it, and the service was friendly and polite. But unfortunately the quality of food has gone downhill and $18 for a rotisserie chicken is pretty expensive. I've attached Mr. Pollo yuca Now vs. what it Used to be. Hope this will improve their quality of food.

    good place to get Peruvian chicken! I've always worked near this place, so I always come here. food is consistent & chicken is always juicy. my only complaint is sometimes they under cook the plantains.

    I enjoyed our dinner tonight as we tried something other than our typical Peruvian quarter chicken platter... the chicken is always well cooked and perfect spices! The spicy green sauce is good and the yellow sauce is just ok. My only tip would be to ask for the yuca extra crispy... it comes out nice and crispy and hot! Dry and soggy yucas are deal breakers for me at Peruvian joints... I did try the carne asada and I would say it is very flavorful! I know a place down the street that is amazing... but not bad. It makes me want to try the tacos next and maybe go on from there! I'll update as I make my way through the menu! If you live out in the South Riding - Aldie area... the. It's worth making a small trip out to check out this family owned place!

    +They provide small tubs for sauces. The spicy green chimichurri was pretty good. The white sauce was also pretty good with the chicken and yucca. +$16.99 for whole chicken and two sides. +The chicken was not overcooked or dry. -The spices/seasoning was a bit overpowering and caked on the chicken. -The yucca wasn't crisp and it seemed like it was just left out to dry.

    I been coming here since they opened and never had the chance to put a review. The chicken here is amazing and halal. A little while after opening they started carrying all halal items. First of all I love Peruvian style pollo and now since it is halal it's perfect for me. They also have fajitas, steak and now beef ribs and all halal. It's a must have delicious South American food, once you try you will be hooked.

    The chicken was great! It had a good balance of flavor and char. My only gripe was the yucca. Maybe I received a bad batch, but I didn't like how they were cooked. I couldn't tell if they were overcooked or under-cooked, but something was off. I felt pretty crappy for wasting those carbs without a return in taste. The yucca gave me a 3 star experience, but I'll give an extra star since the young man that took my order seemed pretty stoked that my name was Gregory like the guy from "House". Go figure. This place could be 5 stars if you order the right sides.

    We have found some of the tastiest quesadillas here at Mr. Pollo. The menu has a wide variety of items to choose from. There are a few places to sit inside but we ordered to go. We waited about 10 minutes for our food but it's well worth the wait. We will come back again.

    I will have to start with the food flavor is delicious if you live in the area I definitely suggest coming down here and trying this tasty food. There are a lot of healthy options but be careful because there are a lot of tasty and healthy options the portions are also very huge so you can order and have some to take home

    Doesn't look like much from the out side but food is quality and full of flavor. This is your typical hole in the wall experience.

    When the whole menu looks good, just get everything!!…read more Mr. Evan's' cookout worthy entrees are prepared with passion and southern sensibilities and range from seafood platters with catfish to pork smoked ribs.
