10.15.25 This used to be my hubby's go to spot for Peruvian chicken when he lived in College Park. He was out that way for work and decided to stop in to pick us up a half chicken. He selected fries and rice and beans for the sides. The chicken was on the small side, but I have found that to be the case for Peruvian chicken. I was raving about the rice and beans. The best I have had at any Peruvian restaurant. I would make an entree out of just it. Wish he still lived in College Park as we would frequent it. Highly recommend! read more

Decided to try Pollo Cabana again today. Well worth the trip. Ordered the Pollo Saltado. Mouthwatering flavors with this dish. The gravy, chicken, onions, tomatoes and fries on a bed of white rice steaming hot. I recommend highly. Rosa handled my order and it came out within a short time considering the amount of chicken, rice, fries, onions and tomatoes in the dish. read more

It was so good I came back two days in a row! You have to try the burger special. I believe it's only available for lunch. The salmon saltado classico hit the spot. The service is great. The owner is friendly and puts so much care into the preparation of the food. Everything is seasoned and comes out hot. read more

Pollo Cabana - Salmon Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

Excellent food and was able to order to,have ready for pick up. Everyone really enjoyed the food.

Picked up lunch from here today. Walking in the restaurant was neat and clean. Customer service was great I actually ended up having to order over the phone because the online ordering system was not working however when I ordered online that the young lady who answered was very friendly very patient got the order correct. When I got to the restaurant she read the order back to me it took about 10 minutes maybe to get it together so I would say the whole order took 20 minutes to get together because I had to leave my building and go down and pick it up so it was just a few minutes of wait time. Everything was made correctly everything was hot and fresh. The owner was there standing off to the side just observing she was really nice very friendly but definitely return again for lunch every time we've eaten here never had a problem definitely try it out if you like Peruvian chicken. read more

I really wanted to like this place because my first order was great, but this second experience was honestly disturbing. As shown in the photo, the chicken I received was visibly undercooked--raw and pink near the bone. Not only is this completely unappetizing, but eating undercooked poultry can lead to serious foodborne illnesses like salmonella or campylobacter, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and other severe symptoms. This isn't just a quality issue--it's a food safety concern. I felt sick just looking at it and couldn't eat it. I won't be ordering again. Very disappointed. read more

Great food and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend! My daughter had the salad with shrimp and ate the entire plate which could have easily feed three people. She had roughly 10 or more shrimp on two skewers and the tres leches cake was perfect. read more

Wow, what a fantastic surprise! We we're hungry and looking for a place and this was close by. It's a modest place with a walk up order counter and a basic dining area. But the food! It was as good as any high end restaurant, served on beautiful plates. We had the steak, chicken and shrimp mixed grill and the Cesar salad with salmon. Both were fantastic! The salmon had great flavor and was perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh and the Cesar dressing was great. But even better, was the sauces that they put with it. One spicy, one tart, both excellent. The mixed grill was well seasoned and also cooked perfectly. And on top of that, the black beans were so delicious. I love it when I'm surprised by good food and this place blew me away. Super friendly staff too. Great read more

Rose answered the phone and hung up in my face! Very rude refused to put a manger on the phone This is ridiculous will NOT be ordering from here again and i used to order from here all the time I will be filing a complaint with the restaurant if they care read more

Visited this place on my way home! There is a huge parking lot, easy to get parked. Service was a little rude and lacked of information, since it was my first time here, I needed to ask some questions about the menu (normal), when I did the lady looked a little annoyed, music was loud (maybe is their style, is ok) and the table I got sitter was loose, hard to keep it stable. The food: Food was 6/10 (maybe because the service?) people used to say, if the service is bad, it would be translated to the food, service with attitude equal to a bad experience and some how the food would be tasteless. I had a whole chicken with sides, fried rice and fried plantains. (The fried rice was pretty much plain and plantains were hard.) The experience: before I go in, I checked in here on Yelp, and Yelp offered me a bottle of water from this restaurant (Elite Yelpers know what it is), so, I walked to the counter and asked for the menu the lady at the counter look at me and said, "is behind you" I looked back and I saw a huge menu on the wall, (there were more people behind me, so, I have to pick quickly) so I picked the whole chicken on the menu with two sides plus a drink, like a combo, I was clear with the chicken and the drink, but not with the sides, so, I asked where the sides are? She replied "here, you not see them?" Honestly I hadn't seen them until she pointed, ok, cool. Then I showed her my Yelp offer (a bottle of water) and she said "nop, that not apply here, is just for to go orders." Ok, forget it about it, I would like to eat here, I replied, then she handle everything to go, and no, the bottle of water wasn't there. (Can't blame them, for me is just a bad training) I didn't need the bottle of water at all, but the way they handled is what I don't take it. How to order: You go in and order at the counter, there's no servers service, after you finish your food, you clean your table (common cleaning) and go. If I recommend it? Absolutely, I would definitely order again from here, but most to go and different items from the menu, then you just go in, pick up your food and leave you don't have to interact much with the staff. I don't think one experience is enough to quit or discard a place, plus the food is pretty much affordable. read more

Maryland finna lock down again, and I'm not surprised nor mad. With takeout options like this, who needs dine-in? Pollo Cabana has the typical delicious Peruvian rotisserie chicken concepts, but this time I opted to try something a little different. The Italian fused menu is a MUST TRY. The Linguine a la Huancaína with Shrimp Saltado was delicious. The yellow sauce (huancaína) isn't like anything I've ever tasted before-- it's creamy and spicy and freaking delicious. The brown sauce the shrimp was in had a hint of sweetness to it. Them two flavors together.... chile listen. read more

Good for a quick lunch take out spot. They prepare food in 10 min. The Peruvian sauce is the least flavorful of any spot i have eaten at. In a pinch it is fine, but probably would not go back. Average portion size for price point. read more

Very few casual culinary fans may remember that Austrian Chef extraordinaire Wolfgang Puck voiced Chef Smurf in the 2011 movie The Smurfs, headlined by Hank Azaria (Gargamel) and Katy Perry (Smurfette). But what if, seeking to entrap the joyous blue horde, including the sultry Smurfette, Gargamel learned that Smurfs secretly salivated over charbroiled Peruvian chicken. He would undoubtedly swing by Pollo Cabana on Greenbelt Road in Greenbelt, Maryland, and, leaving his mischievous cat Azrael in the car, place the following order: 1 whole Peruvian chicken (enough to feed the entire Smurf cast of Lysistrata, including the Smurf chorus), 1 charbroiled Camarones (with two skewers of shrimp), and three Grilled Shrimp and Salmon combos, all with double fried rice. Why the grilled salmon and shrimp combos, you ask? Gargamel and Azrael's track record snatching and holding onto Smurfs is pretty poor, after all. read more

Very happy with this find! We dined in as a family and were very satisfied with how friendly the staff were. Food came out quickly and was delicious! Such juicy chicken. Will be happy to come back the next time we're in the area. read more

It's good,, but sometimes the chicken is a little pink and the beans have been always dry. But overall I do enjoy pollo Cabana very much. read more

Pollo Cabana - Half Chicken with four sides. - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

I had the shrimp fettuccini pasta- Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! Staff was extremely friendly and the wait was extremely short. 10/10

Pollo Cabana is on my weekly lunch cycle due to the lack of choices for lunch in Greenbelt, MD. The service is always great, quick, and hassle free. The selection is pretty standard for your neighborhood DMV Peruvian Chicken Place. I usually get either the Quarter Chicken Dark or Half Chicken Dark platter that comes with your choice of 2 sides and their white + green sauce. The chicken has been pretty consistent for me minus 1 or 2 times where it came out a little dry (I went during a non peak time around 1:30pm so I assume it was just leftover from the lunch rush batch) but overall it is seasoned well with salt and typical Peruvian herb mix. The sides are pretty consistent with the fries always being the right crisp on the outside and potatoey on the inside (Fries on are the medium side of thickness if you like that). I usually get a combination of fries, fried rice, or mixed veggies in which kudos to their mixed veggies, they are seasoned quite well and with a buttery taste on them (probably not the healthiest but not expected to be at a place like this) Overall this is an OK spot to get a good priced lunch. read more

Pollo Cabana - Half chicken dark with fried rice and Cole slaw - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

All of the food was completely bland and un(der) seasoned. The chicken, beans, and fries all severely lacked seasoning. The fries didn't even have salt! They were naked pieces of cooked potatoes. the Cobb salad was not tasty- chunks of wet lettuce, chunks of barely seasoned chicken, a few large tomato slices, hastily diced red onion, shredded cheese, and some avocado. Will never order from here again. read more

Pollo Cabana - Bland unseasoned French fries - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

I visit this place whenever I go to my masseuse, so it probably helps that I'm in a great mood when I'm there. I usually get the salmon. It's cooked well and has a tasty sauce to compliment. I usually get the string beans and yucca as sides. The yucca is a true standout of the meal. I couldn't rate this place without trying the chicken, so I forced myself to try it. I was surprised and refreshed by the flavor. Their chicken is lighter on the spices, which really highlights the char grilled flavor. Overall, I still prefer the spices, but I love the fact that Pollo Cabana stands out in this way. Definitely check them out if you're in the area. Also, note that if you get something cooked to order (especially salmon), then you might want to grab a Snickers. I definitely recommend calling ahead. read more

When dealing with fresh fish and customers, you should always make sure it hasn't been sitting out before selling it. I asked for the salmon dinner and they went in the back with the last piece saying they were bringing back fresh piece for me. Fast forward 4-5 hours later and it seems like there's some type of bacteria in what I ate because I'm not feeling well. My stomach is very upset...The fish they served me was not very hot nor did it seem that fresh. I only ate a small piece because of that... glad I didn't eat the whole thing. Sad to say, it was better the last time. read more

Pollo Cabana - I only ate a small portion of this, and it made me sick. Look how old the plantains look. And over cooked at that. - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

Beware of incomplete/ mixed up orders when ordering online. I just ordered 2 full family meals to give one to a neighbors' family and one for our family. Instead of Pollo Cabana giving each of us each our sides (fried rice, fries, green beans)--they combined them all together in one box. A "family meal" should be treated as ONE separate meal with SEPARATE sides. I just spent $70 and am missing half our meal!!! I called Pollo Cabana and talked to the manager and they said I should have told them not to combine 2 family meals (??!!) how would I know if they don't state their crazy policy on their website??? They didn't apologize or offer to fix the issue. Terrible customer service. read more

Service was good at the counter. Place was clean. The "star" of the place which is the chicken, was eh okay. I don't know if it was because it was right after lunch rush but my chicken took a while to come out, the fries were stale but the fried rice was good. The sauces helped a lot due to the chicken being so so on the flavor. It's a decent place to go back to if you are there and looking for a quick bite. Just don't expect sardis style. read more

Pollo Cabana - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

Probably come here about once a week because it is a convenient location for me. The staff is friendly and the restaurant appears clean although I always get my order to go. My rating is based solely off of the Southwest Chicken Burrito. I know, this is a Peruvian joint and I should live a little, but during the work day, I want a simple meal that will not put me to sleep or incapacitate my internal organs. This checks both of those boxes. If you are a devout believer in the Church of Chipotle, this will probably not convert you. However, if it's Thursday and you've already polished off 3 burrito bowls from there earlier in the week, maybe you should give this place a try. The ingredients are fresher and when Cynthia from accounting makes a derogatory remark about your dietary habits, you can laugh in her face because you clearly got Peruvian food today. Take that Cynthia! read more

Pollo Cabana - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

My issue is customer service. If I ask you a question and you DONT understand don't say yes and later on say you didn't understand me. Ask me to repeat myself. I wanted the meal but it came with a 2 liter. I asked if they had a Diet before placing my order and she said yes. Guess what, no diet. My house has diabetics and the soda went in the trash. It's a waste to even get it I had no use for it. I was disappointed because I could have gotten a different meal without the soda. I don't have a problem with anyone not speaking good English, I'm patient I can explain we can figure it out. But don't lie and then laugh and say you didn't understand. read more

Cannot recommend this place. Nice people and lots of choices but Peruvian chicken is marinated in great spice blends and this is missing this for sure. The servers are nice and the price is good- comes with 2 sides- the arroz chauffeur had very little soy sauce and was nothing more than white rice fried. The yuca fries were tasty enough and a side had 8 good sized fries. The chicken had very little taste- will not be back. read more

Visiting from Cali and a friend brought me to this spot, ohh boy good good food. I had the chicken and shrimp combo, yumsters! They both were seasoned perfectly and the 2 sauces that come with, spicy and just tasty. My sides were black beans n rice and plantain; both the perfect side piece to pair with chicken and shrimp. I also purchased the pescado(fish) ceviche, yum yum good!! I will definitely try to make one more trip here before I leave. read more

Fantastic shrimp. Wonderful ceviche. When I'm in town I ALWAYS stop here. The sauces are so delicious they've started selling them in large containers! read more

So I have two favorite items here: -Half Chicken Platter - $11.99 The chicken has a great marinated flavor and it is super tender. I usually get white rice which isn't listed on the menu and steamed veggies. -Lomo Saltado - $15.99 Juicy steak with onions and tomatoes marinated in a delicious lomo sauce served over french fries and rice. They also have a variety of drinks and desserts. Food comes out super quick whether dining in or taking out. read more

Sardi's has better rotisserie/Peruvian chicken, the rotisserie chicken is FAR from their best dish. However, their steak + shrimp combo and shrimp linguini is VERY good. The presentation makes the food extremely appetizing! They are extremely stingy with their mild/spicy sauce, it's an inconvenience to have to ask + pay .50 per (extra) sauce every time. It's not about the money - it's the service. The cashier (same cashier every time - small, petite lady) acts as if you're bothering her, her attitude is terrible. It's almost as if they want you to pay extra for sauce - their sauce containers are the size of a big toe + never more than 1/3-1/2 filled. Annoying. Also, call ahead if you're on your lunch break, sometimes they take quite some time to prepare your food! read more

Peruvian chicken is such a common theme in this region that it's difficult to find a place that stands out, that's actually better than average. This one manages to do so. Unassuming, located in a strip mall next to an auto parts store, you kind of know what you're in for. Chicken, Peruvian style, two sides, about ten bucks. Been there, done this. Then you bite into the chicken. It's perfectly seasoned, juicy, and flavourful. It's really good chicken! The sides are great, too. I love their plantains. Cooked well, not too sweet, just delicious. The yuca doesn't taste like bad French fries, but is a unique and rich flavour -- as it should be. This is one of the best Peruvian chicken spots in the region. Hands down (chicken up). read more

Pollo Cabana - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

The food quality has gone down significantly. I was a huge fan for a long time but after recent visits I have noted the rotisserie chicken is very dry and not as well seasoned, the plantains are dry and hard where as they used to be nicely carmelized on the outside and soft in the middle, and they used to use the large green beans and now use the French style thin ones that are over cooked mushy though still flavorful. Not a restaurant that I seek out anymore. Do not recommend. Looking for a new favorite Peruvian restaurant! Any recommendations please send my way. read more
