What a fantastic chicken experience! When in on a whim and let the young man at the counter guide me. The chicken was unlike anything I've had before. The spice was perfectly suited to the moisture of the chicken and the rice was top notch! Nothing was bad, cold or greasy. read more

We love a good pollo à la brasa and before this we would travel all the way to Waldorf to get one. It's so nice to have one closer to home. Also love the fried yuca and plantains! read more

Amazing food, chicken seasoned to perfection with great sauces and seasonings, the service was probably the best I have ever had, the guy working at the drive through was very kind and sweet, the ambiance is great as well and it was a pretty good drive through. Great scenery and places to go when you are done eating your amazing chicken. read more

Nice owner and his mom. I'm sorry to say the following: When you drive up to the business, it looks closed. I walk in and the place looked deserted, not inviting at all. Fast food restaurants are more inviting. Except for a very sweet woman who asked if she could help me, I was surprised to see that there were no cooks at the front kitchen. A lady took my order and left the front kitchen behind a door. After a few minutes, I started thinking something wasn't right. I should have left. While i was waiting, i was looking around and the place looked so deserted and depressing. It looked like no one had been there in months. Old sports paraphernalia hanging, tables bunched up together. I should have left. To make a long story short, the food was awful. I believe the chicken was cooked days ago, frozen and served. Sorry, but that's the truth. I'm pulling for CC businesses to succeed, this one needs serious help. The Spanish rice is a doctored up, probably "Rice a Roni." The beans had more liquid than beans. I support CC businesses. This one needs serious help if it's going to survive!!! read more

This has got to be the best chicken in southern Maryland. The joint doesn't look like much, but that slow cooked chicken over a coal fire is to die for. This place is my new favorite food joint in Prince Frederick. read more

The food is on par with Sardis but you only get rice and beans. No selection on vegetables, fries, or Yucca like Sardis but hey, this is positive for retail starved Calvert County. For some reason, the parking lot is always full of cars and the parking in front of the restaurant is reserved for the dry cleaners next door. I've been here 3 times, this time however, they ran out of chicken and another batch was cooking. It would take close to 20 minutes before the next batch was ready. I guess they are still working out the kinks with how much they should cook. I've seen steady business there and I have never had to wait long in line. If you are doing take out, I suggest you call ahead for pickup. They have a pickup window on the side of the building. I will update this review as time goes by. read more

Pollo Delicioso - Hours - Chicken Shop Near Me - Prince Frederick, Maryland

Just not good. I don't know how this can be passed off as Peruvian. The chicken was ok but the sides were so gross. The Spanish rice smells awful and tasted even worse. And the sauces they give- gross. Their take on the yellow sauce is just mayo. Steer clear. read more

If I could give them negative stars I would. This place is insanely inauthentic. How dare u pass off somebody's backyard concoction as Peruvian style chicken. The chicken was brick cold. The black beans were some green soup concoction with like 3 black beans. The Spanish rice was from a box of rice a roni from the grocery store. Dried up and rancid. The so called green sauce was dern tarter sauce. And the cole slaw was dried up cabbage and carrots. Not a piece of sauce to be found. Do yourself a favor and runnnnnn far far away from this fake spot. Somebody lied their tails off for the 4 stars they got. Have at it. Also, the chicken combo comes with 2 sides. 1 side is the rice & black beans. The 2nd side was the Cole slaw. All this is on the menu. So tell me why they charged us $6 extra for the cole slaw. That dried up mess called cole slaw. And then the workers wanted to argue their screw up. Y'all need to stop lying in these reviews and tell the truth about this slop place. Maybe y'all r related to the owners or something. read more

Pollo Delicioso - Leg quarter, green beans, and Spanish rice for lunch :) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Prince Frederick, Maryland

Tonight our family picked up carry out. The food was done promptly and was delicious. We ordered the family platter, chips, guacamole, and Queso and our bill was only $45. This served 6 people and we have plenty of leftovers. Our server Craig was professional, kind, and took extra precautions (COVID-19) as he served our food to us. This is a great small business and I can't wait to visit again. The costumer service and food were excellent. Give them a try! read more

We had a very good experience here. The staff is so helpful and polite, our food was brought quickly and was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back, and can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

Last time I ate here the chicken I received was partially cooked. Had to toss it and lost my appetite, never going back.

Had to downgrade my review as the last visit was less than impressive. The chicken was tough not as flavorful. Also, it seems they have changed their sauces. The yellow sauce was almost thick as Mayo and had little flavor. There was a guy in there eating when I sat down and he made a complaint to the owner that his chicken was still raw inside. I didn't seem to have that problem but it appears as though they may have been having a bad day or the food quality is going down. read more

I got the half a chicken plate with Spanish rice and plantains as my sides. Everything was great! I feel like it was a pretty good deal for the amount of food I got also. The little lady that was working the counter was super sweet and cute. He son who I think cooks the food was also very friendly. I'll be back. read more

My husband and I stopped in for dinner this evening. It was a wonderful experience. The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The selection of food on the menu was extensive, especially if you are looking for something gluten free. I got the 1/4 chicken and plantains. It was all very delicious. The special creme on the side for the plantains just made it extra special. The service was excellent and the food was fresh. The portions are very generous. We will return again soon. read more

The chicken is excellent, the plantains and green beans were really great. It's clean and service is great. The value is definitely good! The service was excellent. The sauces for the chicken was fantastic. They are friendly and informative. read more

Chicken was spoiled and the yuca, as well. Place was unkept and dirty. Would not recommend. Thankfully, manager gave me a refund.

Steak Fajitas are delicious. BBQ pork sandwich is great. Onion Rings were a worthwhile indulgent side. Impressive, will return to try Cheesesteaks soon! read more

Food was raw when I went to eat it . Had to wait 30 minutes just to go take it back . Completely inedible

I called and was told that it's "Authentic Peruvian" food because the owner's wife is from Peru. I traveled 45 minutes to purchase some lomo saltado. I actually want to post a picture of what it's supposed to look like & what this restaurant cooked for me. First of all, the seasoning on the meat was not Peruvian seasoning. Furthermore the meat wasn't the one used on traditional dishes. The rice that was used was minute rice or something close to the rice you boil from a bag. This was very disappointing. I wish I could get my $28 back. It was a total waste. Maybe for people in the area who aren't familiar with traditional or authentic dishes will have a different review. But my husband and I recommended our friends to purchase food with us & we were quite embarrassed. We don't want anyone to think this is Peruvian food because it is not! I am very disappointed. read more

We ate here for the first time and overall it's very good. Clean, nice area to sit inside, courteous, friendly staff. You can get takeout fairly quickly, and we got the Family Platter (whole chicken, 5 large sides, 6 sauces for $27.) The chicken is definitely the star, I don't think you even need a sauce, the seasonings go all the way through the meat. The plantains, Spanish rice, and black beans are also extremely well seasoned and tasty. The green beans weren't seasoned at all, disappointing since they look like good fresh green beans that never lived a day inside a can. The chips are made fresh and they're very good, thin and salted enough, very much like you find at Chevy's and Uncle Julio's. The salsa on the other hand, what a complete disappointment! It was one note, just tomatoes, no spice, no garlic, no cilantro, no lime... nothing. I could char an onion, jalapeño, and some cloves of garlic and blend it up along with a nice handful of cilantro and fix it here at home, but why should I have to? At the cost 5.50 for a small, I shouldn't have to do a thing. It's so close to looking like the charred and flavorful salsa at Chevy's and Uncle Julio's I had my hopes up high especially at that inflated price. Large sides are a pint, small sides are half that. The sauces are ok, heavy on the mayo, would be better on a burrito/quesadilla I think, neither were spicy to me at all. I like that the chicken is serves in quarters so you aren't dealing with cutting up an entire chicken. We'll definitely be getting a chicken from them weekly going forward, and looking forward to trying the fried rice and ceviche. I'm a chips and salsa fiend, so I really hope the tasteless salsa is just a random off day. read more

Great food and great service! Chaufa is the best dish on their menu. Appreciate the drive thru too.

I love this place. Great customer service and the food is spot n. Always my go to when driving thru

I really wanted to like this place being that Its the closest "Peruvian" chicken spot for our family. The chicken was good. Although, I'm not sure how fresh it was. The rotisserie wasn't on when we visited. The fried yucca was good, and the waffle fries were ok. Kind of strange for a Peruvian place, but I gave it 3 stars because the white rice was horrible. It was so bland. Kind of like what you get when you microwave those tiny cups of rice. Yeah! Just like that. We tried it, but wouldn't come back. Would much rather make the trip to DC or Waldorf. And we were so excited about it. Ps- the mayonnaise or whatever yellow sauce they offer, was weird tasting and the green sauce was very chunky. read more

The food was good well cooked could use a little more seasoning. The service was a little slow but they were very friendly. It's not better than Sardis but it was pretty good. read more

The customer service is great and no complaints on the food. My green beans were not sealed properly and the guy felt so bad he gave me a clean rag to wipe up my car and told me to keep it. I love customer service when they care and respect you. I was driving my new car and he made me feel better about green bean juice all over my leather seats lol The chicken is great although a tad too much salty but that could just be the rotisserie flavor. With my family having high pressure I think I will be the only one who eats here often compared to them. I did suggest pupusas to the cashier because they are delicious and most Latino Rotisserie places sell them (hint hint I sure would buy them ha) Again great food, friendly pleasant staff and great prices is why this business gets 5 stars. Oh yeah we went an hour before closing time and the food was still delicious and fresh. read more

This was fast becoming my family's favorite place. The other day I ordered online and went to pick it up. The girl working was HORRENDOUS. She was lazy, rude, and let me stand there for 15 mins before she even addressed me at all. She just stood there fixing a computer mistake that she made. She took so long that it became actually comical how rude a person could literally be. Then when it was time for her to talk to me she didn't even speak she literally just waved her hand in a motion that you would use for an annoying child. I was so shocked and insulted. Then she literally talked to me like I was the one who was stupid. She was so bad that the cooks seemed embarrassed and annoyed. I was so upset. We absolutely love this place and it was fast becoming our favorite. Every other time that we have been there everyone was amazing. This place is getting one more chance from us then we won't come back. read more

Unfortunately we had a very unpleasant experience. The customer service was very nice and the buffalo dip was average in taste. However, it was no longer hot by the time we received it. I had to warm it up, along with the queso dip. Eating the queso dip was like eating spoon fulls of diced onions and peppers, with a little bit of Velveta cheese melted on top. The jumbo wings were small, extremely, extremely dry and way over seasoned with Old Bay. Not sure if I'm willing to return. read more

5 stars compared to other Calvert restaurants, not compared all Peruvian chicken around the rest of the DC area, esp around Hyattsville and Adelphi. But it's still pretty good, and a much needed option for Calvert. We were getting tired of driving to Waldorf. The chicken here is as good as any of the Waldorf restaurants IMO, so save yourself the trip. We got the Superbowl special, which is a really good deal for under $40 -- 2 chickens, rice, beans, 2 other large sides, and 2 2-liters of soda. The chicken was thoroughly marinated, spiced, and charcoal grilled. It was a good quality, meaty chicken. The green beans were nicely steamed and garlicky. And the fries were waffle style and tasted a lot like Chic-fil-a. Beans and rice were fine too. Definitely call ahead if you want to get your food and get going. Service was good, and they try their best, but it's all manual labor inside with the chicken cut to order, and the fries and beans were cooked fresh too. So it takes time if they're a little busy. Looks like they're still figuring things out behind the counter, so the line can get slow. Don't let that stop you. We need support diverse dining options like Pollo Delicioso in Calvert, especially when the food is this good! read more

I'm rating 4 starts instead of 5, only because of cost being a bit higher than similar food outside of Prince Frederick. The food itself is very good, ready on time, and always packed with my complete order. I'll admit that I don't stray far from the chicken (tastes great) and sides, but I have tried most of the sides and have no complaints. The waffle fries are great as are the rice and plantains. Sides are a little pricey by themselves so be sure to check out the combos! read more

5 STARS!!! Peruvian chicken joints can be very different and this place is no exception. This is, by far, my favorite patrician chicken spot now!!! The seasoning on the chicken was AMAZING and everything else was great, from well cooked and flavored rice, too fresh fried yucca. The pinto beans were great, and the sauces were obviously made with love, like everything else we had. We will be visiting next time we are in the area. (Only bad thing is that this joint ruined the local Peruvian chicken joint for me!!) read more

I love this place. I go with a half chicken Brussel sprouts and green bean. Delicious! One of the best parts of the experience, are the people. A very kind older lady often helps me, and the cook from the back, maybe the owner, is very passionate about the food. Excellent food and a refreshing break from the apathetic young people that dominate the wait staffing in Calvert Co. read more

Went here for a quick lunch. Got the half chicken with Cole slaw and green beans. Sides were pretty good but the chicken was amazing! It was easy to order online for Carryout and everything was ready when I arrived as promised. This place is great and offers something unique for the area so hopefully they'll continue to thrive! read more

Ok, this restaurant was recommended to my wife from a friend... and we figured why not give it a shot.... The atmosphere was fun and a little tight, like a hole in the wall restaurant. The food was excellent! The chicken was seasoned perfectly and tender, the sauces were great and had a little zing to it As for the sides... The coleslaw was good... the plantains were great The beans had good flavor, ( I just like my beans a little softer) This was a good experience and fairly inexpensive ... Great place for some good Peruvian chicken read more

This chicken is awesome. The flavors they are able to get on there really put Pollo Delicioso a step above the rest. Staff is friendly and our food has been ready on time every time. We live about 20 minutes away, else we would be there much more often. read more
