I was finally able to swing by this place which is only 20 minutes away from the house. This is on a corner lot, in a strip mall with other businesses such as Dog Spa, Dragon Express and across from Chipotle. As you walked in, the restaurant is clean, cozy and comfortable. You walk to the counter as the menu is on an overhead and on a kiosk. Once you ordered, they will called your name and you have to pick it up. I ordered 5 items: 1) Pork dumplings 2) 1/4 chicken combo 3) Mango juice 4) Mango mousse 5) Tres leches. I was surprised when I seen dumplings on their menu and thought why not. I'm really glad I got them because that first bite. The filling was pack, juicy and delicious. You get 6 dumplings with a ponzu sauce. There were multiple combos but I ordered with two sides. The 1/4 chicken were very tender and delicious. The two sides were mashed potatoes and plantains also delicious and to wash all down was the freshly made mango juice. It was refreshing and tasty. The desserts were served in a clear plastic container but I wasn't able to enjoy it there because they were frozen . Overall the restaurant was in a good location, easy to find off Courthouse Rd in Spotsylvania in the shopping left of Giant Foods. The owners were friendly and knowledgeable. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu. read more

We've tried Paruvian chicken restaurants 2 in Alexandria, Woodbridge, Stafford, and 2 in Central Park area and Pollito Chicken definitely has the best flavor than any of the other places. The other restaurants flavor was only on the skin and Pollito Chicken was very moist and the flavor was throughout the meat! The sides were plentiful and the yellow dipping sauces was just the right amount of spice, not too hot like other places. Pollito Chicken is a real find! I highly recommend this restaurant for Paruvian chicken. read more

only 1 person working the lunch hour. had to wait an additional 30 minutes from time it was supposed to be ready. Ordered the quarter chicken with 2 sides. Received 2 tiny pieces of chicken and both sides were kids size. Total waste of money. read more

I've been looking for a good place to eat Peruvian charbroiled chicken and came across this one. I had been driving for quite some time and needed a break for food. When I came in the place I ordered right away and went straight to the restroom. That's when I noticed that the place was a mess. Not just a regular dirty bathroom this place was filthy. That's when I started thinking to myself maybe I should've done better research? I should have. I definitely should have. As I walk back out to the main dining area I start seeing everything from the sign that says. Pollito Chicken to their cooking area, their counter, the tables, the floors, the walls, I mean, everything was full of grease and grime. I had to eat I had literally no other option as I am a diabetic, and my sugar was in the low 50s . I hoped and prayed at that very moment that I would not get violently ill as I still had a long way to go. I did end up having to pull over and buying medication for my stomach. I did in fact end up getting violently ill. The food was decent, nothing to call home about, what I did call home about was the food poisoning I got from this place. I understand that there's only two of them but come on cleaniness is basic to any establishment. read more

This is an authentic family business. Mom does the cooking and daughter manages the orders. It's a pleasure for me supporting this type of enterprises. Place was clean, they are extremely nice and food was good. Of course as the name suggest they specialize in Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Chicken and fries were good, no complaints. The dessert ( alfajores ) were amazing . In my opinion the chicken could have had a bit more spices, as a Peruvian I can say that the chicken was good but not great. The salchipapas were too simple and didn't impress, they could add an egg on top and put some sauces over to make it more appealing .... Just my 2 cents. They got a 4 star based on an assessment of flavor va cost :). read more

Service and food here has always been excellent. The prices are great and their selection of food has expanded.

Their plantains and chicken are fantastic... Everything else is just "good." The service could be faster, but it's worth the wait. I'm not sure how much Asian food they sell, but it feels like they would be more successful if they focused just on the Peruvian component and did that very well. read more

This is my 2000th Yelp review! We stopped into Pollito Chicken for lunch on a weekday and they weren't very busy when we got there, but by the time we left, there were several other patrons there. They are a pollo a la brassa restaurant and they offer all the typical items, but also bowls, so we opted for a couple of chicken bowls. Their bowl comes in two sizes; the regular size with pulled chicken and 2 sides and the larger size with pulled chicken and 3 sides. We got the regular size and they tasted great! Their black beans are seasoned quite nicely, so is their fried rice. But their chicken tasted great! What I really liked was their green sauce, which was more of a lighter green, but was loaded with jalapeño and was nice and spicy! The inside of this restaurant is really clean and decorated nicely and the lady working there today was very friendly and helpful with their menu. I'd highly recommend stopping in, great food and service!! read more

This place is super! We ordered the whole chicken meal and all of the side items came in big containers. Everything tasted amazing!

Nothing special about the chicken not thoroughly marinated. The menu offers Chinese/Peruvian dishes, I thought it's kind of odd combination. 99% of the side dishes are additional fees. Overall a pricey but not special! read more

Food is good Burritos filled with too much rice though Would recommend the quarter chicken and two sides read more

Meh. The food isn't that great the chicken only had flavor on the outside. It's also pretty pricey for what it is. It's sad because it has potential -based on friendly employees and cleanliness. read more

Delicious. My kid loves it too! we ordered 2 whole chickens with 6 sides for 3 of us. It was very good chicken, the yuca taste like fries. we couldn't even finish half of the chicken... definitely will order again but may be just 1 whole chicken with sides next time. Those dipping sauces cream creamy, good with anything. The yellow one is not spicy at all, the red one is a little bit spicy, the green one is more spicy from what we had. read more

Well, I tried! I was excited to give this place a chance. But not going to happen. I ordered at 522pm. Smelled good inside......then I waited and waited and waited. I watched one employee take a nap in the corner while I watched the only other employee run around. It was clear no organization. I watched her take out more chicken cut it up, my mouth was watering! But nope after 40 minutes and they only did one order in that time frame.......I quickly realized my meal was not even ready. I went to the counter and was told yep I'm doing your order right now....I looked over in the box and it clearly was not what I ordered. So I said I wanted a refund.....after some debate and them realizing that they hadn't even put my plantains in to cook.......I was done.....I got my refund and left.......SO DISAPPOINTED, WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS MEAL, read more

Delicious! Just had burritos, chicken, sides and stuffed date night! Take to go and enjoy with someone special

Usually good tasteful chicken. Been several times. Only once (near closing) did i get an order that wasn't as flavorful chicken. Sides good. Customer service is great! Will keep going. read more

Two stars because I have eaten here multiple times with great success. Two stars because after eating their half chicken plate with rice and beans yesterday, I've been up all night sick with food poisoning. We think it might have been the black beans. Currently laying out in bed while typing this fighting the urge to again. read more

Ordered dinner from here tonight for the first time. The chicken was a little dry but had a great flavor so it was easy to overlook it. The best part was the black beans and rice. Wow! Delicious! Can't wait to get dinner here again. read more

Delicious food! I really enjoyed the side dishes and sauces along with the chicken. There were not many leftovers, but the few we did have were great for lunch the next day. read more

Stop by this place randomly as we were traveling on a packed I-95. Chicken was excellent! Yucca and plantains as sides were also just as great. Each freshly fried at the moment. Yuccas were nice and crispy without being over-fried (barely golden but fully and deliciously cooked). Friendly staff as well. read more

Excellent food always. Staff is friendly and helpful and always smiling. Prices are reasonable. Pollito Chicken has become a favorite in our house. read more

Mildly dissatisfied regarding the taste of the food. Did not live up to the Peruvian expectations.

Best Peruvian Chicken in town. The fried rice was better than most Chinese places I know

This is feel good food. Like you're in a better mood after you eat it. This place had caught my eye a number of times while visiting the chiropractor across the street. Finally happened in today and was quite pleased to not only find out that it was a local business, but that the food is real and made with love and respect. Very generous portions for sides. Quality food at a fair price. In a city full of disappointing chain restaurants and big box concepts, Pollito chicken is a beacon of family owned deliciousness, one of my new favorites. read more

I enjoy this place for its close location to my neighborhood as well as its decently priced and tasty chicken sandwiches and burritos. Its one of the few places I can also eat and the food doesn't upset me. Their servers are always friendly. I'm glad they're in the area :). I do wish they would use takeout containers that can be recycled, though. read more

So glad I decided to give this place a try. I got the chicken bowl with three sides (sweet potatoes, coleslaw, plantains) this place did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were good size! I will be returning. The ladies there working were very sweet and greeted me with a smile as soon as I entered. Oh yea I also got tres leches and also didn't disappoint! I feel like the price is great for what you get. Very happy customer here! read more
