Is a never come back place, usually Peruvian chickens are really good and thought I could try this one since it had 4.5 stars usually place with this kind of stars are really good not the case here. The food quality and freshness doesn't deserve those stars; the tortillas were hard as rock the only good thing about this place are the bean, rice, and plantains. read more

The food is ok and does not meet the standards for how much it is. It's really expensive compared to other Hispanic food places within a few blocks. The servers behind the counter are nice. You order at the counter and then they bring it to you. The restaurant is pretty. read more

Peruvian chicken is a personal favorite, and full disclosure, I've been on a bit of a Peru-Pollo binge recently. So, I turned to Yelp to see where was the closest joint to get my fix. My choice today was the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides: fried plantain and arroz chaufa, also adding an extra side of fried yuca. Chicken: 4/5 - but probably because I panicked and didn't correct my order for dark meat, instead I kept the white meat. It wasn't too heavily charcoaled or seasoned, could possibly do with a little more seasoning but I still ate the whole thing --and skin (yeah, I'm one of those. Get over it.) The meat was tender, tore away from the bone, and doused in green sauce went down a treat. Sides: The yuca (5/5) was on point, perfectly fried but still light and fluffy on the inside. The plantain (5/5) was PERFECT, and a great contrast with the Aji Verde green sauce (packs a punch on the spicy scale, delicious!) The arroz chaufa (3/5) was okay, not the chaufa I'm used to eating; a little too oily for my liking, but that's down to personal taste. Lastly, Customer Service: 5/5. Michelle, thanks for being so sweet and taking care of me and participating in my Spanglish talk. I enjoy speaking Spanish whenever I can to make sure I don't forget how to converse in the language. The customer service alone is enough for me to stop in again (and the Latin club bangers playing whilst I waited, always a plus.) I'll definitely be coming back here again! read more

What a disappointment, the chicken taste so bad, smells like oil from a car, I am Hispanic and never ever ate something so bad and expensive. Never again! read more

Dined here on the recommendation of a friend. Ordered the 1/4 chicken, rice and black beans, plantains and a fountain beverage. You order and pay at the counter and they bring your food to your table. All of the food had a nice flavor. Parking in front can be dicey if traveling south on Tidewater Trail. Overall the food and dining experience was good. I'll break bread there again. read more

Perfect Pollo was perfectly delicious. They had a little bit of everything from Tex-mex to Peruvian, so I decided to try a little bit of everything. We placed our order over the phone for pickup. When we arrived, we noticed a sign outside stating "Best Rotisserie Charcoal Wings in the DMV", so I had to add that to my order. Boy, were these wings slamming! I can taste them right now...probably the best part of the meal honestly. I also ordered the TALLARIN SALTADO DE POLLO and a side of plantains. My husband and my aunt each ordered the chicken dinners. Our meals were very filling and we finished feeling satisfied. read more

Perfect Pollo - 1/2 Chicken Dark so good. Definitely will come back. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

After trying Perfect Pollo's Ashland location, I've been wanting to try this location and finally did today. Staff and service was good and friendly. Their food offerings are really good, even if they have more "American" sides to cater to those who don't want the spicy, flavorful stuff, than they have good, Hispanic sides. The food was great... Fried rice was awesome! Yuca was OK, just seems a lot like the frozen stuff. Chicken was outstanding! Nice and moist with good amounts of spice and flavor! Overall, it was really good... I want to return and try there chicken sub. read more

Seriously 2 separate meals you don't look at the menu it is buffet, but they serve you, 1/4 chicken $14.50, mashed potatoes $4.00, fried plantain $4.00, 1/2 Chicken $17.50, Sprite $1.99, fried yucca, corn, sub total $41.99 total with tax $46.11 I could buy 2 whole chickens for that price. Picture 1/4 of a chicken. read more

Great family owned restaurant. Had a great time with friends and family. Would recommend.

When it comes to Peruvian chicken the flavor in the chicken is the most important part. Not sure how they season or marinate their chicken at Perfect pollo, but the taste was just not there for me. My whole family was not impressed. The chaufa rice also had a strange taste. Again, not sure what spice it is, but it had almost a sort of sweet taste that just did not suit our palates. I've had great Peruvian chicken and based on the reviews was hoping this would be another place I add to my go tos. The size of the sides are also very small compared to other places. For the price in my opinion they are not worth it. The service was great, but unfortunately I will not be returning due to the flavor in the chicken and chaufa rice. read more

Had lunch here with my grandson who recommended it. The service was prompt and friendly. Prices were very reasonable. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious! We had the 1/4 chicken platter that came with two sides and a drink. We also shared the Bang bang shrimp appetizer. The menu had an outstanding variety. Something for everyone. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I really was looking forward to eating here based off the yelp reviews. It may have been my fault ordering just a chicken quesadilla and some fried plantains. The fries were soggy and didn't have much flavor. The quesadilla was packed with chicken but it was a little dry and to seasoned. The plantains were just OK. It was a ball full of grease and didn't make me feel too well. I wish I just didn't eat it. read more

Not enough positive hyperboles to express my feelings. I just really and truly hope that more businesses take on this model. Cleanliness, Great Food, and Great service. The peruvian style rotisserie chicken is hands down the absolute best in the area. But maaaaaaan is this place spotless. I cant believe its been open over a year. I cant even dream up a complaint... by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe turn down the radio next time "Bad to the Bone" plays? wait... but thats what the food is.... its B@D@$$$ .. right down to the bone... MMMmmmMMMmmMm.. delissshusss. read more

What a hidden gem in Fredericksburg. I love peruvian food so when I passed by here one day, I made a mental note to return. I ate here almost everyday for two weeks. The chicken is sooo good and the rice is so flavorful. They have sweet plantains just the way I like them and I love their yucca. The sauces really tie everything together. read more

From the time we walked in until we walked out of the door the hospitality was amazing. Frank the owner really makes you feel at home. The flavor and freshness of the chicken ( which are cooked every 20 minutes) were perfect. Lots of options for sides including fried rice, plantains, vegetables, French fries and salad. They also have other meal options including beef and seafood. They had a variety of sauces for dipping that were enjoyable and catered to different taste buds. Atmosphere is very casual and relaxed located of Rt 2 near the Field House. Overall great experience. read more

Another fantastic meal from Perfect Pollo! The chicken is the absolute best we have ever had in our lives. Tonight we even bought an extra to take home. We love the friendly staff, the cleanliness and overall atmosphere, it's a 5 out of 5 every time! read more

We have quite a bit of experience with Perfect Pollo. We were generally happy. Today we were not. It's been a while, I will admit, since getting food from them. I got the quarter chicken (dark) with the two sides. It was $11.50. The amount of the chicken (the size of the 'quarter') was extremely small. Compared to what I have received before, it was tiny. Before the quarter chicken was enough for both lunch and dinner and filled up the take out box. No more. I thought they had left half of the chicken out it was so small. Maybe because of the size, it was a bit overcooked and dry. The disappointment was palpable. I'm sorry to say that this might be our last time of getting food from them. It is good food but way too expensive when you get such a small portion. read more

I feel kinda bad leaving this review because the employees were SO nice but the food was just bad. The chicken lacked flavor and the rice was so dry and hard I felt like I was eating rocks. The yellow sauce lacked flavor as well and the green sauce wasn't spicy AT ALL. They were playing boring music from the 80s. I wished they played more ethnic music or just something Peruvian since this place is a Peruvian restaurant. The reason they're even getting 2 stars is because the employees were friendly and they're also taking safety precautions during the pandemic. They were all wearing masks and wiping down each table after guests left. I don't think I would come back just based off of the food. read more

We were passing through this town looking for something to eat. This business brings us so much comfort - great and juicy chicken, kind staff and their kindness means a lot to us. They offered water to my little dog, and gladly let us use their restroom no matter we buy anything or not. LOVE this place! read more

Haven been disappointed at other Peruvian Chicken places, Perfect Pollo was a pleasant surprise. Food: The chicken is very juicy and not dry/rubbery at all. The meat comes right off the bone. The Chicken sub w/ fries was also very good and probably the best value item on the menu. Everything comes with two sauces: an aioli and a spicy green sauce. For those looking for Halal food, this is one of the few Peruvian places that's completely Halal as the Owner was proud to point out. Unfortunately that means no pork, but at least there's seafood. Service: The owner is very enthusiastic about talking with his customers and is very kind. The staff are attentive and reasonably quick in their preparation. Good food takes time to prepare, but they aren't slacking as you can easily see. Location: The restaurant is very clean. The plastic utensils are higher quality than most takeout places and there's less waste. There's plenty of hand sanitizer (The city is opening up from Covid-19 at time of review). There is covered outdoor seating. read more

Finally tried Peruvian food, and I was not disappointed. Trying their chicken with the two sides was very light in the belly and I felt healthy in the end. I chose the ceviche and the chicken meal with two sides. I chose something different than the usual , potatoes and rice. I bought plantains and it was the medley of vegetables. It wasn't dry at all being under the light. It still looked fresh and newly cooked. The plantains wasn't super sweet and the vegetables was steamed. The chicken wasn't dry and it was perfect. The ceviche had 3 kinds of seafood. I was lucky that they have the seafood the I love to eat. It had fish, shrimp and octopus. It wasn't too acidic and it was truly refreshing . I would definitely buy from this place again because the flavor is endless. Their dine in was safe too , especially how they put the tables with a good distance . You can also eat outside . I guess the only thing that I don't like was, I did an order through yelp, and it was cancelled and they said it was because they cancelled it cause they couldn't handle my order so I had to go to the place and reorder it. read more

Some of the best chicken I've ever had. I love Peruvian food and this stuff is some of the best. The family bundle is the way to go.

The food and in store service are really, really good. Before COVID, we went there a lot. We ordered a couple of times with delivery. The first time, the order was wrong. The second time the driver came to the door without a mask and told us that we owed $10 cash for delivery. The third attempt we were told the delivery fee was $10. Food cost $20ish so that is a 50% delivery fee. My guess is that they do not want to deliver. So we pick it up. That does mean that we don't get Perfect Pollo very often as other places are more reasonable in delivery fees. And their staff wears a mask. Just sayin'. It makes me sad to rate this so low as the food (especially the potatoes) is very good. But I feel like the delivery fee is simply too much. read more

Great food with great taste and quality. I have been to this restaurant multiple times with my family.

Decent food! I wasn't expecting much when I went inside, but was greeted by a few staff members and offered some small conversation by someone who appeared to be the manager. When I visited there were a few families eating with children, a tv playing and everything I was able to see appeared clean and orderly. We went about an hour of closing so there wasn't as much to choose from but they offered alternative items and the menu seemed to have a bit of variety from what I expected. I didn't like that my yucca was s a bit dry but that could have had something to do with my timing. Overall, I'd definitely go back! read more

Yummy!! We came here today based on the reviews and it was worth the drive! Hubby and I both ordered the 1/4 chicken and chose the rice (cooked with mushrooms and onions) with black beans and the plantains. It was all very, very good! The service was quick and friendly. The price was fine for a good meal. The chicken was moist with great flavor that matched well with the rice and beans. The plantains were amazing! I love good plantains and these were cooked perfectly. We will definitely be coming back here. read more

Some of the best Peruvian chicken I have ever had. My wife and I shared the half chicken and it was delicious- tender, juicy, and slide off the bone. The sauces are also delicious. The sides (yucca fries and green beans) weren't quite as good and lacked freshness/flavor so we will try different ones next time. The establishment is clean and the service is top notch. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Perfect Pollo - 1/2 Chicken Dark, Fried Yuca, Green Beans - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

The smell invites you in and the smiling faces greet you. Staff is super helpful and happy to explain the dishes and options. The Peruvian chicken was tender, flavorful and moist. I had the 1/4 white, rice and black beans and it was more than enough food at a great price. A friend ordered the chicken salad and it looked delish, my only suggestion would be to take the greens up a notch from plain old iceberg to a spring mix or spinach. The place had a steady lunch crowd but they moved them through quickly it never got crowded. They also had other traditional Peruvian dishes that I can't wait to go back and try as well as some steak and chicken sub options for the non adventurous in the group. Do yourself a favor and stop for a meal read more

We stopped here on our way to Fredericksburg to do some shopping and we are so glad we did! Excellent food...the fried yucca is my FAVORITE! So much better than French fries but I'm sure their French fries would've been delicious too! We ordered a couple chicken subs and the 1/4 chicken. Super clean place and a very sweet staff/owner! I ordered a chicken sub to go and they kept it in a insulated bag until we were done eating our meal so it would stay warm. We will definitely come back to this place and really wish they had a location in Southern Maryland (hint hint)! read more
