Came here because it smelled so good driving by. The chicken was okay. There was a rude worker who was shaking his head in disapproval. I don't speak spanish or whatever so I have no idea what he was alluding to. It made me feel uncomfortable and it felt like forever for my order to be ready. I really enjoyed the yucca fries, so they get all the stars here. I won't be back. read more

I go to this place weekly. While it is not cheap the chicken is consistently freshly cooked and delicious. Their fries and yuca are also great. They even use environmentally friendly packaging. What more can you ask from a rotisserie chicken place? read more

Leaving the Home Depot, we spotted Pollo Peru and immediately starting craving lunch. Walking in, the space is open and very clean. The staff behind the counters are friendly and helpful. We each opted for the 1/4 dark meat chicken, black beans, and fried yuca. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and the black beans were out of this world! So well seasoned and balanced, it was delicious and hit the spot. I wish I had ordered the plantains, but I didn't even see them on the menu until after the fact. The fried yuca was good, I just think next time I'll try another side. I would definitely come back here, the meals are very very reasonable and well-priced. I recommended this to my family as well. read more

Serving freshly cooked rotisserie chicken. The fried plantains and rice that were sides were good. The only thing is I wish their green sauce was vinegar based. It tastes like it has mayo in. Quick service. Ordered the flan for dessert and it was fresh. They have three rotisseries here! Located in the shopping center where the Home Depot is. Prices are reasonable. read more

Used to be my favorite place but lately but last time the size of the chicken portions have been smaller than they used to be, therefore less food and not as good a deal read more

Absolutely delicious Peruvian chicken. Moist, flavorful, and falls off the bone. Leagues better than any other Peruvian chicken place I have tried (King Pollo and others). I love their sweet potato fries and their yellow sauce. A solid place for lunch or dinner. read more

Just went back to Pollo Peru, I definitely give them an A for customer service and cleanliness. The cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. However the chicken continues to be very dry. I'm Peruvian so I have had pollo a la Brasa growing up at several pollerías and restaurants in Lima, have also been to almost every spot in NOVA. Due to the proximity to my place I wish that they would find a way to make their chicken Crispy yet juicy. Unfortunately I will have to continue to go to other locations for our weekly pollo a la brasa craving. The yellow sauce it's good and their green sauce has improved a lot since my last review. Highly recommend the yuca. read more

3.5 stars: Not the best Peruvian chicken I've had but a good lunch option in the area. The menu is simple and small. I got the 1/4 chicken (dark meat of course!) which comes with two sides. I opted for the sweet potato fries (not as crispy as I like mine) and salad (because I thought regular fries or yucca might be overkill). My chicken was moist and I loved the skin. It also comes with two sauces, both of which enhance the chicken. Some of my coworkers did mention their chicken being dry though, so stick with the dark meat. Quick and friendly service, clean restaurant, and great prices! read more

Pollo Peru - 1/4 chicken with sides of sweet potato fries and salad - Peruvian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I got the 1/4 chicken with beans and salad. I also got their cookie dessert with the cream in the middle. Let me begin with the chicken! Omg. Delish! Not too dry or too moist. The sauces they give you are everything! I dipped the chicken in both before devouring it! The beans say they have a Latin flavor. They were ok. The salad was basic. None of the vegetables were wilted so that's a plus. Now for the cookie!!!! Amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be so soft! It crumbles in your mouth. A person could eat this without their dentures in. The flavor was kind of vanilla. Not sure what the cream in the center was but the flavor blended well together. read more

Pollo Peru - Menu when you first come in! - Peruvian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I've been here a few times to grab a quick lunch. Times I've been here has always been during lunch time between noon and 1pm and it does get somewhat busy though the line moves fairly quickly. Consider coming here right before or after peak lunch time. I always get the chicken and yuka and it has always been consistent and good. Good place for a quick lunch. read more

Excellent Peruvian Chicken! Sides are great, & I order condiments (yellow sauce & salsa Verdi) by the cup - that stuff goes great on anything. They also have a Peruvian chocolate cake that could save a marriage, not to mention best flan in town. Dine in or carry out, your tastebuds will thank you. read more

First time there and was ALRIGHT. I know Sunday's they're busy but the line was long and once you reach the front there was a dull, bland and rude cashier. I mean rude to the point where I wasn't even greeted not asked what I wanted. Rather she stared at me waiting for me to spit out my order. The food was ok and the space was a but small and hard to walk around the tables without bumping into someone eating. I would've given then 4 stars bc the chicken was good but nothing peeves me more than a cheap restaurant, they give you about 2-3 small sauces, and charge you extra for more sauce ( .50 per sauce if I remember correctly). They also don't have fountain drinks, so you have a few bottled and canned drinks. I'd go again if I had no where to go in the area. Waku Chicken is nicer and not as cheap. read more

I love their pollo. Many times I just order a whole chicken without sides and make my own. My favorite sides are yucca and fried plantain but I omit them when I'm trying to be "healthy." I love their green hot sauce but they are so stingy with it. Overall I love their chicken because it is always consistently delicious. read more

OMG! This is the worst chicken place I have ever gone to. Smells amazing but once you try the food it's horrible. I ordered 1/4 chicken with a side of fries and plantains. The plantains didn't even look like plantains, they were BLACK and CHARCOALED! The chicken felt as if I was chewing on leather. Check the photos! WOW!!!! read more

Pollo Peru - Had no flavor and felt like I was chewing on leather. HORRIBLE TASTE! - Peruvian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

See all

Best I ever had. My first time here. Will never go to another Peruvian food place probably. Almost 99% sure I won't. Great service. Clean restaurant and Food came out at a decent time. The place looks beautiful and the art adds something to it. Keep improving please! And no one will want to eat anywhere else :) read more

Pollo Peru is my favorite chicken spot in the area. They have a great menu with a wide variety of different side options to choose from. I was disheartened when they took the yucca off the menu and made it a specialty item. But that alone hasn't and won't stop me from frequenting the establishment. The prices here are fantastic, delicious flavor, and overall pretty consistent each time I have been. My favorite side are the sweet potato fries! If you get a chance and are craving some chicken, definitely check out Pollo Peru. Ask for extra green sauce!!! =D read more

When I saw a Peruvian chicken placing opening so close to where we live, I knew I had to give it a try. So we finally went last night. And I was a little disappointed. Granted, I'm comparing it to Sardi's which has some of the best chicken you will ever eat, but I still expected more. I'm not used to having to wait at a peruvian chicken restaurant. Usually the chicken and sides are made and just need to be boxed up. But for some reason, even with only two other people waiting, it was still a 10 minute wait. I got the 1/4 chicken with sweet potato fries and plantains. The fries were ok, but could have been crispier. The plantains were the highlight of the meal- cook perfectly. The chicken itself was ok, but was definitely lacking in spices and the rich flavor you usually get with this type of dish. The sauces were disappointing. First, they only give you one mild and one hot, and want to charge if you want more. Neither had much flavor. I came in with high hopes but left disappointed. read more

Pollo Peru got really flavorful juicy chicken and I love the yuca! Dipping sauces are pretty good, too. Gotta try their alfajor shortbread cookies filled with dulce de leche!! So yummy!! read more

Chicken is delicious and so are the black beans. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because they charge you extra for yellow and green sauce :/ read more

Food: 3 stars. It's hard to mess up Peruvian chicken. Mine was very good, crispy skin with the seasonings reaching below to the meat, however my order of yuca was under cooked. The green sauce was actually spicy for a change which I love, but the white sauce did nothing for me. They could have just given me a container of Hellman's, which I think they did. Location: 5 stars. It's less than 5 minutes from where I live and the only Peruvian chicken place I know of in Reston. Intangibles: 2.5 stars. A couple of reasons for this. First, you can't see your food being prepared. I like looking over the selection of side dishes and deciding what I want. I like seeing them chop the chicken in front of me. I like seeing how much dressing they squirt on my salad. I like seeing how many sauces they throw in my bag. I like seeing if the yuca looks old or the salad looks brown so I can choose a different side order. It's a different style of food prep that I'm used to seeing from Peruvian chicken joints I frequent. Secondly, I feel like I'm being nickel and dimed here. At other Peruvian restaurants my order of yucca is pretty much thrown in there willy nilly with the chicken. Here the yuca looks carefully stacked, as if they counted exactly how many pieces I was to receive. They also charge for extra sauce, which some places do and some don't, but universally drives me nuts. On the flip side, on my first visit I ordered a 1/4 chicken white and got 1/2 chicken white so go figure! Maybe they were trying to get my repeat business by throwing in some free chicken. Do they think I can be so easily swayed by free food? Sadly, yes :) read more

Pollo Peru - Peruvian Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Awesome chicken, great deal, fried plantains, and sweet potato fries. Seriously, there's not much more I can say about it, it's heaven on a plate. I can buy a whole chicken with two large sides and feed myself for a week all for less than $20. I haven't eaten in yet, i mostly order to go, but the dining and waiting areas are very nice with modern clean decor. The staff is always friendly and the kitchen (which is in view) always looks clean. read more

I regularly go their for their Pollo Peru melt sandwich. It is quite good. A good chicken sandwich for $7.41 ! I had tried their peruvian chicken as well, it was good , not great ! read more

We love Pollo Peru in Reston. The spice on the chicken is perfect, the lettuce for the salads is always crisp, and the staff is friendly. Their rice pudding is a great treat too! read more

Chicken was delicious, but their sauces were unimpressive. The yellow sauce was like mayo + a smidge of something spicy, and the green sauce was really spicy and overly pureed to the point of a slimy texture. We also ordered rice and salad, but the rice was just white rice, which (as an asian) I can just make at home. I had hoped it would be Spanish rice, at least. I'm really big on dipping my chicken into a mix of the sauces but they only give you 2 for a whole chicken which is a little lame... read more

Great peruvian chicken at a great price. I got the 1/4 chicken dark with coleslaw and fried plantains with extra green sauce. For $7.04 almost cheaper than Starbucks, and way more protein. The plantains were nice and dark brown, and the green sauce was great -- chunkier than I've had before, and I liked it. The chicken was not quite as juicy and might have been just slightly overdone, as the skin was almost hard, but I also came in at 1:30pm and things had slowed down since the lunch rush. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt -- I'll be back. read more

We really love coming here for the chicken! The portions are big, the food is delish, and the prices are incredibly affordable. It's a great place for lunch or dinner and it's in a convenient location. I'd highly recommend the plantains and fried yucca. Honestly, any selection is good and you won't be disappointed. read more

Looking for a quick lunch after depositing money with Home Depot I decided on a first try at one of the Polo Chicken places. This is fast food. Don't think otherwise. Clean and fast so kudos in that department. The price is also good. The chicken was moist and well cooked (I hate rare chicken). The skin was well flavored in spices. Fries were big but greasy. The cole slaw was something they must have bought; i don't recommend it. Two sauces accompany the chicken. The green speckled sauce is spicy and if you can tolerate the heat it's good. The light green sauce tastes like mayonnaise so it was not to my liking. They need to upgrade their cutlery to be able to cut the chicken. If you pick up the chicken you'll want to wash your hands. They have one mens room with one sink. There were four people waiting to use it. Add more sinks or put one outside the bathroom. I likely would not go back unless I had no choice. Better than nearby Wendys and the New York Deli that isn't from New York and isn't much of a deli (see my review elsewhere of that place). Anyway, for a quick lunch near Home Depot in Reston it's ok. If you've got time there are better places nearby. read more

Great chicken and great sides. Really quick too. Can't beat it, price was reasonable as well.

A great Pollo joint in Reston by the Home Depot. I like that you can order the chicken with or without sides, dark or white meat. My favorite is the 1/4 chicken with black beans and rice. if I'm filling extravagant, I'll order the Alfajor ,shortbread cookies filled with dulce de leche (a creamy caramel) and topped with powdered sugar, for desert. This is casual dining. read more

Stopped here first time for lunch and would not come here again. Chicken had so much salt and i couldn't even finish my chicken. I felt my blood pressure going up. read more

Love the food and great customer service. Messed up my order once and they went above and beyond my expectations to compensate for the mix-up. A combination of great food and service is hard to find but I guess it's at Pollo Peru. read more

Tasty and consistent local peruvian chicken restaurant. Always satisfied with the quality of the food and the yuca/sweet potato fries are excellent sides. $.25 per extra sauce is the only real knock here. read more

I ordered via the online website last night around 6pm. I ordered a whole chicken (dark meat), all yellow sauces, cole slaw and sweet potato fries. The chicken was very dry. It was flavored perfectly but way overcooked. I got two green sauces which i did not ask for. They tasted pretty bad. The two yellow sauces were good though. Both sides were delicious. I really wish they would learn to cook their chicken properly. If they did, I would prefer this place over Waku in Herndon. read more

I stop into a lot of these style rotisserie chicken places but this one stands out having perhaps the juiciest chicken, where-as other places I find the white meat in particular to be a little dry. It took a little longer than I usual wait but worth it in the end. The yucca and sweet potato fries were healthy portions and delicious. Yellow sauce was good and I loved their green sauce since it wasn't as hot as other places. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

I had a horrible experience, my chicken was uncooked in the middle.. never going there again. This is a disgrace

This is my go to place for Peruvian chicken! I just found out they're doing so well that they opened a 2nd location. They focus on chicken only and do it the best around. Do yourself a favor and stop in soon! read more

This is the best chicken place of its type in the area. You can buy whole birds quarter bird or1/3 birds. The sides are great especially the black beans and rice.they have excellent desserts sitting in a refrigerated display case right by the cash register. They are always too much for me to resist so I end up purchasing one. they frequently have special so if you want to buy a lot of food for your family just find out when the specials are. They serve two types of sauces a mild one and a spicier one they are both excellent. read more

This used to be my favorite lunch spot but new management has ruined it. They raised prices and decreased the food amount especially the sides. They are even tricking customers by offering extra sauces at the register (you used to be able to ask when you picked your food up) which I thought was great but they only half filled the containers! Ridiculous either charge for extra or just give more sauce out, but don't try to trick people. Totally turned off, time to find somewhere new. read more

This is the best Peruvian Chicken - bar none. My friend has tried most restaurants in the D.C. metro area and even commented how this was the most flavorful. Keep up the good work guys and don't change a think with your chicken recipe, your green/yellow sauces and your black beans. Amazing food - and I'm not even a chicken fanT read more

Way better than the other places in town, ate here weekly before moving further away. The chicken has always been hot and moist, the white rice is lightly seasoned with salt and garlic, and the beans are thickened and seasoned instead of that watery mess you get everywhere else. Oh, and it's cheaper than most other places! read more
