    1/4 Chicken (no sides)
    Andrew C.

    5 STARS for the food and customer service. Located in the Walmart Shopping Center in Burke is this fairly new Peruvian Chicken spot. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with two sides. When I got home, I realized I only received 1/4 of chicken. I returned the to the store and the lady was really great about the situation. She discussed with the staff, and translated to me what she said to them. She was really apologetic and sweet about the situation, correcting the order and offering an additional 1/4 chicken on top. (Again, please don't fire the staff, mistakes happen). Now, for the food, the chicken was seasoned beautifully. Through the drive home, back to the store, and drive home again, the white meat portion managed to still be soft and tender, peeled so easily. In the kitchen, you can see they use a wok to cook their fried rice, so the fried rice has extra flavor from the "wok hay". This is now my new go-to Peruvian Chicken spot. Will definitely be back here in the future.

    Dried up harden chicken
    Kyung K.

    Ordered whole chicken to go for dinner. Drove home to family and first bite I could tell chicken wasn't fresh. Tough, hardened dried meat, unable to eat dinner, I returned back to restaurant to get replacement. After explaining that the chicken I received is inedible to front end person, I had to wait 10 mins or so for manager to come out from back office to talk to me. Instead of apologizing and getting replacement right away, manager insisted that chicken they gave me is fresh and some people prefer to have it cooked even more. After going back and forth I ended up getting replacement. As a consumer, I get that sometimes you might get a bad batch, but it's not ok a business doesn't make it right when issue is raised, instead they defend their error. As much as I would want small business to succeed, I will not be ordering from this place again

    Best Peruvian chicken in the area. The potato salad and fried rice are super sides! They also have good plantain!

The only problem is that I am always the designated person to pick up the food (10-15 orders). The service is incredible; the owners and staff are super cool and always have pleasant conversations. The place is small but not tiny, with a few Peruvian decorations to keep people engaged while waiting for the food to be ready. Since we order often from there, we call or email way ahead of time. It is worth the drive. We have tried more than a few places around, and Wild Chicken is still the best-flavored rotisserie chicken in the area.

Anytime we are craving Peruvian chicken, Wild Chicken is the only place we will consider period. We've been loyal customers for over two years, and the food has been consistently phenomenal every single time. Honestly, it has somehow gotten even better over the years. The chicken is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. Anytime I bring someone here for the first time, it instantly becomes their new favorite spot I've even caught friends and family ordering from there on their own without me because it's just that good! On top of the incredible food, the service is outstanding. The owner and the staff are always welcoming, attentive, and kind we have never had a single bad experience here. Wild Chicken is an absolute gem, and the extra drive from Alexandria is worth it every single time. Highly recommended!

Out of of all the outstanding Peruvian chicken spots in the DMV, El Pollo RICO is the GOAT. Even Anthony Bourdain gave it a thumbs out, back in the early 2000s. Ordering is quick and easy and there is plenty of seating inside this restaurant. I recently placed an online catering order for a big event and found the servings to be plentiful, affordable, and delicious. The order was not ready at all when I came into the restaurant but they were able to cut and box up chicken straight off the rotisserie with the quickness. I'm pretty sure they even through some extra french fries in my bag for the hassle which was much appreciated. Everyone was raving and I'm looking forward to ordering from them for future family events.

The rice and other sides are bland, and the coleslaw is overly sweet. I used to order just the chicken and skip the sides, but they've taken away that option and now force you to choose two sides. That's unfortunate because if they offered chicken by itself, I'd probably eat there twice a week.

    + Five-Star Plus Review: Casa de Campo…read more Casa de Campo delivers a meal that goes far beyond expectations and earns a true five-star plus rating from the very first bite. Let's start with the rice, because it deserves center stage. Absolutely out of this world. Each grain is perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and clearly prepared with care and tradition. It is not just a side dish. It is comforting, bold, and memorable on its own. The kind of rice you keep going back to even when you think you are full. The rotisserie chicken is equally impressive. Cooked to perfection, it is juicy, tender, and packed with flavor all the way through. The seasoning is balanced and authentic, enhancing the natural taste of the chicken without overpowering it. Every bite is moist, savory, and satisfying, with a beautifully cooked exterior that shows real attention to detail. What truly stands out is the consistency and quality. Nothing feels rushed. The food is clearly made with pride, skill, and respect for the ingredients. This is comfort food elevated by technique and heart. Casa de Campo is not just a place to eat. It is a place to enjoy a full, satisfying meal that leaves you happy, full, and already planning your next visit. If you are looking for incredible flavor, perfectly cooked food, and a dining experience that delivers every single time, Casa de Campo is the place to go. Five stars are not enough. This place earns a five-star plus rating without question.
