1/2 dark meat chicken
Ketsanee P.

The chicken was crispy outside but tender inside. Nice flavor seasoning. Cooked perfectly.

This was Pan Latin-American Cuisine I was super hungry and ready to eat, we happened to be in this shopping center and so I decided to give Pollo Central a try. They offered rotisserie chicken, tacos with various options and various empanadas with a selection of meat options. I had the tacos, as I was looking for something quick and easy to eat. They were tasty and I enjoyed them. I've heard that the roasted chicken was special and a real delight. I also ate these Latin American cookies with a Carmel Center flaked with powder sugar on the outside of the cookie. They were a pure joy to eat. The food was delicious BUT the service was a little slow, it took a while to get our food. The restaurant wasn't even that busy. I would've rated them higher if the service was better. Also the tables were dirty, and it took several attempts to find a clean one. I would try this place again, I'd only hope they improve the customer service experience.

These chicharrones? Are the devil. Super crispy outside and phenomenally juicy inside. So juicy they leak upon biting.

Listen, if you JUST go here for the chicharrones....do it! It's well worth the effort and the trip. They are delicious, SUPER juicy...and phenomenally well-seasoned. They're all I ever order. I don't get here very often but when I do....Lordy! Chicharrones! Chicharrones! Chicharrones! Big ole pieces of slow roasted pork with a crispy outside and well, I've already described the inside. **masculine swoon** At some point I'm sure I'll get around to ANOTHER menu item - maybe. PS - the green sauce is the one you wanna dip.

Awesomeness!!! I stumbled upon this place today. Omgoodness. Fresh!!! I ordered 3 different tacos, chicken quesadillas, qtr white chicken platter. I was full with food left over. The restaurant is clean and with rustic seating. The ladies rest room is very clean. They're patient and friendly. I didn't know the menu and asked about items i was interested in and she didn't smirk or bat an eye. Not a place if yr rushing, though. Its quality food.

I love to come here for the carnitas! Their rotisserie chicken tastes good, but I have my favorite spot to go to for that. They are pretty close so the next time I stop in and get a order of my favorite dish, I will come back and update this post with the photo. I keep eating it and forgets to take a picture, most times I finish it in the car before I get home, no time to take pictures. Lol The only issue I have is I love to order the Carnitas only, not the entire meal, because there are times when I don't want all that food I just want the side and they put three pieces of Carnitas in there and still charge the full price which is totally unfair; if it's a side, it's a side, if it's a meal, it's a meal then you charge the prices accordingly. I am willing to come back and come back as often as I want to but I do not appreciate feeling like I've been ripped off.

Decided to stop by one day for lunch and I'm glad I did. Conveniently located in the aspens hill shopping center , reasonably priced , and friendly employees. I ordered the quarter dark meal with fried yuca, rice and beans, and extra medium sauce. The yuca was fried just right, the rice and beans were good as well , and the chicken was juicy with crispy skin and cooked to perfection. Great spot for some good priced Peruvian styled chicken, they have a display of tres leche near the register that I will most definitely try the next time.

Great Service good Horchata & Chicken fries are too good and soft Mac and cheese is a mustthis is my plate before I finished my food almost forgot to take the picture lol.

Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and the entire experience was professional and seamless. I have never been much of a fish eater--I love shellfish, but what I jokingly call "swimmy fish" has never been my thing. Well, the cod they served completely changed my mind! It was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite things on the menu. Our officers and guests raved about the food throughout the evening. In fact, the officers enjoyed it so much that they were already asking if we could order our Thanksgiving meal from the same caterer! When you're organizing a large event, having a caterer you can rely on makes an enormous difference. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and they helped make our awards dinner a special evening. Highly recommend!

I just received a call from her stating "oh sorry we are not opened Memorial Day weekend." End of sentence. Matter of fact. No empathy. So unprofessional. I had to ask if she could refer anyone else. I just retired from banking after 49 years and am very proud of my customer service history. This by far was the WORST customer service experience I have ever encountered in my life. Obviously poor planning and communications on their part. They completed wasted my time. FURIOUS!!!!!

I'm so glad our wedding planner recommended Spilled Milk Catering! We were nervous about being able…read moreto serve Indian food when booking Anderson House for our engagement party, but Amit and his team came to our rescue and served a unique brunch menu for our guests. Since we were planning a daytime event, we knew we wanted an eclectic mix of Indian and American dishes with several passed items as well as live stations. Amit sent over a long list with so many options for us to choose from - our parents were blown away with the creativity of the menu items. During the tasting, he was receptive to small changes my parents wanted to make and had a wide variety of things for us to sample. We had a hard time narrowing down our list because there were just so many great options. Amit was present during our final walk-through and had excellent suggestions for where different stations and bars should be placed at the venue. We wanted a mimosa bar and he was accommodating to our juice requests (mango/guava/etc). Most importantly, Amit was able to make Paan (a traditional Indian mouth-freshner) which my grandmother was delighted to have at our event! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and hope to work with Spilled Milk again in the future!!

I reached out to Spilled Milk Catering for a wedding quote and unfortunately the experience was…read moredisappointing from the beginning. While other catering companies responded within 1-2 business days, it took Spilled Milk nearly a week to get back to me. Once they did, they asked me to complete a questionnaire, which I did promptly. Sadly, I heard nothing for almost another week. After following up myself, they finally responded and informed me that they could not provide a quote unless I had already secured a venue. During that same week, we had spoken with 8 other catering companies who had no problem providing thoughtful proposals without needing our venue locked in. Spilled Milk's justification? "We are not a copy and paste catering company." The response came off more condescending than professional. If this is the level of communication and inflexibility they show before being hired, I can only imagine what it would be like working with them through the planning process. This whole interaction made my fiancé and I feel like our business was not worth their time. We regret wasting our energy on a company that clearly had a "we are too good for you" mentality from the start.

I recently used Farm to Feast to cater my daughter's Sweet 16. From start to finish, everyone at…read moreFarm to Feast was wonderful. Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

Their service to 150 people is very professional and they anticipated our needs like telepathy. Talmom Silva worked with our budget and made our event sing: the presentation of the food was exceptional. I love their chicken salad sandwich! The boxed lunch we ordered for the conference attendees had a sandwich or wrap (the chicken salad sandwich I had was delicious!), fresh fruit salad, choice of coleslaw or pasta salad, a bag of chips and a natural grain bar of honey and oats. I work with a lot of caterers and noticed that the team Talmom, Ricardo, and Giovanni work very well together and they genuinely enjoy being of service to other people and respect each member of their team. The simple reception we needed was done BEAUTIFULLY! Home Style Catering is an excellent partner for any event! I would want them to cater my own wedding reception!

It was a stress free evenig. Chef Ricardo - your food and presentation was amazing! So many of our guests raved about how delicious everything was and how much they enjoyed watching you cook. I was so pleased with everything that came out of the kitchen, specially the carving station with the tenderloin... Crab crostine appetizer is the number one...

From our very first…read moremeeting through the big day, my husband and I kept saying how grateful we were that we chose them. Corcoran handled both our catering and all of our rentals--and absolutely nailed it. The food was exceptional. We're still getting texts from guests saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had--some even said it was the best event food, period! We got compliments on everything from the starter salad to the passed hors d'oeuvres. I wasn't initially excited about the beer corn fritter, but it ended up being my favorite bite of the night. But what truly set our experience apart was working with Jordan. I honestly can't say enough positive things about her. She became like a second planner for us--offering expert guidance, always responding quickly and thoroughly, and saying yes to every single request with grace and positivity. I had so much trust in her judgment, and she never steered us wrong. One week before the wedding, in a moment of pre-wedding panic, I decided I wanted to change our napkin fold. Jordan didn't just talk me through options--she went to the showroom, set up our exact table settings, tested multiple options, photoshopped in our decor, and sent over a mini lookbook... only for me to choose the original one. That's the level of above-and-beyond care she provided. On the day of the wedding, I shared a special moment with Jordan about my grandmother, who had passed before the wedding. She held my hand, we shed a tear together, and I felt so supported and comforted by her presence. It meant the world to me. We will absolutely be recommending Corcoran--and specifically Jordan--to all of our friends getting married, as well as to colleagues planning corporate events at 101 Constitution, where we got married. If you're looking for a caterer and rental partner who will care deeply about your event and help bring your vision to life, choose Corcoran. And request Jordan!
