I have been a big fan of Peruvian Chicken and rice, after having a Peruvian in Stamford close to work. My younger colleagues used to have that as good, standard food. When 'Tastes of Danbury' included Po-Yo, I wanted to try the Chicken and did just that. Had Chicken and Yuca fries and cheese fries. The Chicken, I believe, is marinated for a long time with the special Peruvian herbs and spices. (All Peruvian, not just here) That shows in the Chicken. I would call this flavor one of the best of this kind. Loved the chicken. Also, asked the nice lady what are the main take out orders for. It seems to be this chicken. My companions got the Ghost Chicken - which I heard was decent. The tacos looked real good. I loved the 5 different sauces that came with the table. Each one unique. They had beers on tap, which sealed the deal for me. Good place. Excellent staff, very friendly. read more

My husband and I were at the Danbury Street Festival. The Festival had food trucks but only out in the sun. Who wants eat with the sun beating on them? Not Me. So Po Yo was our choice. They had tables outside and in the shade - Ding Ding! This was also our first time at Po Yo. The staff was friendly from when I went inside to see if we could sit outside, our server, and the girl who brought our food out. Instead of bread or chips our meal started out with popcorn which was a nice change. My husband was not that hungry and ordered nachos, and I went with the cuban. Good thing I can eat because the nachos were HUGE. Layers of tortilla chips, shredded cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, red onions, and black beans. On the side for toppings was cut up avocados, salsa, and sour cream. Besides the 1st layer it got cold sort of quick. We're not sure if the nachos finished before my sandwich or it was just the nature of the layers. My cuban was nicely toasted. The shredded chicken good. It had my fav the spicy mustard. I felt like there may have been mayo or another sauce that I could have done without. The shoe string french fries I chose as my side had just enough salt and were very good. Overall a good meal. Something different besides pizza and chinese food. Worth a try! read more

Had a hankering for some good rotisserie chicken. Found really good reviews from Yelp, so we went. It was late, so we decided to order as a takeout. There was only one person in line, so not long to wait. The cashier, however, wasn't too friendly. Said it would be about 20 minutes. So we told them we would return. Ran to McDonald's for fries and got back just in time. Parking is really tough. In fact, they were towing someone when we got there. So I got out to pick up the food as we had already paid for it when we ordered. The cashier I saw was a different lady. And there was no line. Not was there anyone there. But I waited a good 10 minutes before they acknowledged I was there. Fortunately the first cashier told the second cashier I paid so they gave me the chicken. Got home and unpacked the chicken. The aroma was mouth watering! We got two sides- onion rings and tostones. Onion rings were really good. Tostones were dry and flavorless. Not our taste but maybe someone else might like them. Sauces were tasty and hit the spot. Overall, would return for the chicken. It was delicious and moist. Our greeting did not make us want to dine in. But maybe it was an off day. Worth a return visit. Did I mention the Chicken was SO good?! read more

Always delicious! I'm a huge fan of their quinoa bowl, which is enough for two people. Tostones are perfectly crispy, yucca fries are perfect. Great sauces too! read more

Always a great spot for a cold night dinner. Chicken is very flavorful, Cuban was deliciously pressed, onion rings were huge, beans tasteful and yucca fries perfectly executed. They offer 4 signature sauces in varying levels of heat which is awesome for different palettes. Staff is very friendly and quick to help you. Great atmosphere! read more

Came here tonight randomly with my family because my dad lives nearby. I always give kudos to service staff when they deal with my family because I feel like we're chaotic. I loved the ambiance, felt like 90's Miami vibes. The food was great! Chicken was seasons and cooked very well. Rice, beans, and tostones were great. We will definitely be coming back! read more

First time eating here last evening. I had the Talk to the Ham(Cubano) sandwich that was delicious. Yummy side of cheese fries. Perfectly chilled mug of hard cider . My husband had their rotisserie chicken that was the moistest/juiciest chicken I think I have ever eaten. Would be nice if the City of Danbury had some better lighting along Main Street to show off a nice place like this! There is a parking structure just around the corner on Library Place Highly recommend read more

My wife and I have been here a few times and it's always been very good. I really like the rotisserie chicken and the sides are very good. Prices are reasonable and service is good. read more

Food Service Ambience very good. Please try and serve the food hot instead of mildly warm.

I first saw this restaurant on Instagram yesterday and immediately placed an order to pick up. The place is well decorated and my food was ready when I got there. I ordered 1/2 chicken, rice, beans and yucca fries. The chicken was absolutely delicious. I'm from NY and Malecon is one of my favorite restaurants. This place rivals Malecon and I'm so glad that I don't have to drive far to get amazing chicken! The sides were good as well but the chicken was the star of the show. Can't wait to go again. read more
