    Got a Half Chicken Only ($11.76) and a side of Tortillas ($0.80). The chicken was moist and very flavorful. The Aji Verde was creamy and does have some heat. Service was friendly and prompt. There was a very limited amount of parking. I opted to park in the residential area that was around the corner.

    Sundays best! A quote I often heard growing up, so when it's Sunday and you need to eat after your activities, this is a pillar of Sundays best! The first spot that contains not only the best grilled chicken but with side orders and the prices continue to remain the same! The ambiance is quiet and humble, with a delicate touch of woodsy feel. Love getting here and spanking some wood and saying "this is some good wood to cook with ". The parking is limited but I always park in front of the wood and you're good . I paid a total of $35 for everything in the picture and it was the best! Come down and try the Sundays best chicken. The food speaks for it self. The customer service is great! 10/10. Forgetboutit, the other chicken spot and try this!

    Sad and disappointed is all we have to say. We were so excited to try this place from all the hype online. We got in and ordered and as we were waiting we looked down and saw a roach walking towards us. I just couldn't stomach staying not knowing if there were more in the kitchen. My husband went up to cancel the order and the manager didn't say anything when my husband told them why. I'm sure the chicken is as good as everyone says it is but for now I'd skip out on it.

    Papas fritas, white rice, pollo à la brasa, anticichos.

    Food is always a 10/10. The chicken is cooked very well, not greasy like some places. My husband loves their anticuchos. Their green sauce is good too. The seating area is limited so grab a table when it's available. We also got our food relatively quick. Will always pass by this place whenever I'm in the area!

    Decided to raise my rating because the chicken always delivers, juicy, flavorful, and never dry. Yes, they've made a mistake before, but it only happened once, thankfully. Even during their busy lunch rush, they manage to serve customers in under 10 minutes, which is impressive. The only downside is the limited parking. There's a nearby grocery store parking lot you can use, but it's at your own risk. Also, if you walk in while they're grilling more chicken, be prepared to smell like smoke for the rest of the day! The dining area is small and casual. You order near the entrance where you can watch the chicken cooking, and you pick up your food at the opposite end, which is also the takeout area.

    5 stars Great chicken. No frills. Good service. Really good flavor. Wood fired. pollo ala brasa may be the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had.

    The roasted chicken at this place is amazing. The chicken is very tender and juicy and the aji sauce is very flavorful and juicy. I ordered the half chicken with fries and salad. The salad had beets that was good. The fries were also good. My friend got rice and commented that it was a bit dry. They also have antitcucho (beef hearts) as an item. The staff was very nice and helpful in cleaning the tables and getting out order, food and amenities. The space is a bit small with 5 tables max and parking is very limited. But overall great spot to get some Peruvian chicken.

    It's been about 14yrs since last stopping through and grabbing a whole chicken. Literally was heading away from town when ai thought of dinner plans and got off the freeway and doubled back. Smoked Pollo Rotisserie Burritos it is. From the moment ai pulled up, the aroma filled the air (literally taking me back to familiar times) outside and ai was very optimistic and thoroughly encouraged that quality and flavor remained the same. Was making Chicken Burritos, Black Beans and Rice, Sautéed Peppers and Onions with this smoky flavorful chicken. Cannot express enough how delicious my dinner turned out last night and ran it back (for seconds) for lunch today. Plenty of smoke flavor. Tender succulent well cooked and worth the U-Turn. Use to come by somewhat regularly back in the day. Surely will resume my frequency from this point on. Gracias Pollo Ala Brasa and Staff for a great meal experience. You hands down have the Best Rotisserie Chickens EVER!

    It was just OK. Rice was extremely bland and you're expected to cut through the steak with plastic utensils...

    Hadn't been here in about 8 years. Went for dinner...wasn't crowded…read more Food was good but I could definitely tell the difference with the amount of food/sauce I received on my meal. I remember when the cream sauce was thicker and a bit more flavorful and it used to literally cover the fish. Not nearly as much sauce was on my plate this time. We were only given 1 serving of tartar sauce for our calamari (which was delicious) but for 2 people, it was not enough. At $3 for another serving! Nope I could buy a whole jar at that price.

We were seated right away and the restaurant was mostly empty. Upon sitting, they brought out some bread to snack on, kind of like a free appetizer. Our server gave us some recommendations. I went with the oxtail fettuccine and it came out as expected! Though, some oxtail was chewy instead of tender and the fettuccine was pretty standard. Serving sizes were huge, so all of us took home leftovers, which was nice! Kinda got 2 meals in one lol. We also got some maracuyá (passion fruit) juice that was refreshing. Just note you'll need to ask for ice on the side if you want it cold. Overall a solid spot for a chill family dinner. Would come back if I'm in the area.

We came in as a party of 7 and had a RESERVATION to celebrate my friend's birthday, spending over $250, but the service and atmosphere completely ruined the evening. First, the security guard was an awful host--demanding a $10 service charge after one hour into our meal. Shortly after, our waitress did the exact same thing. On top of the forced extra charges, the flavor profile was noticeably off compared to other Pollo Inka locations we've been to. No bread was offered and they removed it from the menu! To make matters worse, after being seated directly in the dancing section, we were asked to leave for not paying an additional "dancing cover fee" that was never disclosed to us beforehand. Treating paying customers--especially a large group celebrating a special occasion--with such hostility and continuous hidden fees is unacceptable. We won't be returning.

There is a medium sized parking lot but it is a very busy center so parking can be difficult sometimes. We both had the Pollo Saltado which comes with a cup of chicken soup and fresh rolls. The Saltado is shredded rotisserie chicken grilled w/ onions, tomatos, french fries and is served with garlic rice. I know, I know french fries & rice but believe me it works so wonderfully. And you must drench it in the Aji sauce, it's a magical thing and I put it on everything! The staff is friendly and the store is very neat and clean. Something that extends to the parking lot which is always well lit. If you need to walk off the meal there is a Trader Joe's & Five Below in the center.

I'm glad I dined-in because I enjoyed the experience here from start to finish. The service was outstanding - the server was very nice and the food came out lightening fast. But I think the food was even better. I ended up ordering the Lomo Saltado instead of the Rotisserie Chicken. Not sure why, but I did not regret my decision. My order came with some dinner rolls and soup. The Lomo Saltado was a home run. The beef was tender - the whole dish was packed with flavor. The rice and cilantro soup (not sure what it's called) was fantastic too. It was very simple, but satisfying to eat. Move over chicken noodle soup. This would be the perfect thing to have when you're feeling sick. One thing I should warn you about. There's a bottle of green stuff sitting on every table. Proceed with caution when pouring it on your food. It's tasty, but very spicy. That thing immediately set off alarm bells on my tongue. I'm really curious now as to how good the Rotisserie Chicken is. That was what I was originally planning to get after all. Guess I'll have to come back again soon to find out.
