We like this place but unfortunately today we asked the hostess to seat us at a booth and she said that it was not possible because it was only 2 of us so we had to seat at a very uncomfortable table with everyone passing by us....to our surprise another hostess sat another couple at the booth I was requesting at beginning...weird service fro the hostess...our sever was really nice , she's always amazing Alejandra. Food was good and ambiance cool!
The service from the start was great, there were plenty both indoor and outdoor seating. The location was nicely decorated and had a very cool vibe. I ordered the parrilla del carajo, the wait time wasn't long and the food was excellent. A delicious mix of flavors and perfectly cooked. I loved the skirt steak that came with the parrilla, it was perfectly tender and so flavorful. The veal hearts were also incredible, they were cooked and presented beautifully. Would highly recommend! Their sister restaurant Ceviche 105 is also a 10/10.
The Pollos & Jarras is next to another Peruvian restaurant called Ceviche 105 which both have the same owner and seem to share the same hostess stand. We were self seated at the thick wood block bar and given menus from both restaurants, which was odd. The bartender, Juan, (i think thats his name) was excellent and gave some options for an appetizer. Chose the avocado chicken salad which was presented beautifully with a yellow spicy sauce drizzled around the plate. Watching the chef remove the glistening juice dripping roasted chicken from the oven was a treat in itself as posed proudly for a picture. The party vibe was well noticed with a blast of colors and decorated balloons of various designs. The gender neutral ADA compliant bathroom provided an industrial theme with a raw cement floor and a vibrant aztec wrap around painted wall that popped over basic white mid level square tiles.
As much as I want to give them more stars I can't bring myself to it as a Peruvian. Fabian our server was great and gave us great service. The manager as well was very courteous. Overall service was good. The portions of the food were a good size specially for the cost, but I couldn't get over the fact that they put carrots, broccoli and other vegetables in a Peruvian Arroz Chaufa. The Pollo à la Brasa had good flavor, but there was just something missing. The maracuyá drink was definitely not worth it. Overall for me this is a more Americanized Peruvian restaurant than authentic. At least they don't have Chilean Pisco for their drinks.
Walking around the Aventura Mall and got hungry and went outside to check out a few of the restaurants. This one looked like a tropical jungle outside with big colorful designs inside with rotisserie chickens being prepared in the kitchen. The bartender was so happy to see us and had an Aperol spritz with an avocado chicken salad that was soooo delish.
The Fun, Festive, Colorful decor welcomes you into a cultural dining experience. The busyness of the pinatas, floaties, colorful splashes adds to the bustling feel of the restaurant. The seating is tight. While there was a mini coat hanger inbetween tables to place belongings, it made it difficult to maneuver around to get in and out of the seat. Even getting to the table was difficult sharing narrow aisles with servers and wait staff going to and fro the kitchen. The staff were kind and attentive. The food was robust in flavor and well portioned. The different sauces in the table caddy were a nice variety of flavors to pair with the food. I really enjoyed the aioli-like sauce with the beef/pepper sandwich. The bun was lightly toasted but had a nice fluffy chew. The restaurant adjacent (CVI.CHE 105) to this place share the same owner so we were able to order items (ie, cerviches, sushi rolls, etc) from there too. Very Tasty, would definitely recommend if you have a Peruvian craving!
I've been here plenty of times and every time it's delicious!! Service is friendly and efficient. The ambiance is bright, lively, modern but yet unique and it's comfortable, whether you sit inside or outside. Went for ceviche, a tequila cocktail (Jara is best!), a Chaufa and 1/2 a chicken entree. Mom and I shared everything and it was a feast! Great causal vibes at beautiful Aventura mall.
(5/5) We visited Pollo & Jarras in Aventura for dinner this weekend and once again, it did not disappoint! Parking is free since it's located at the mall, which makes it very convenient. The vibe is fun and vibrant cute inflatable donut decorations and colorful piñatas hanging from the ceiling make it feel lively but still comfortable for dinner. This was my second visit, and consistency is everything for me. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. They start you off with a sample of their chicken soup, and it's so good that I always order the full bowl. Definitely a must-try. The prices are reasonable with great shareable portions. The drinks were strong and actually tasted good no watered-down cocktails here! Service was excellent. The staff was attentive, checked in on us, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. We ordered the Del Carajo with lambayeque rice and French fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. Why 5 stars? Consistent food quality Strong, good drinks Attentive service Kid-friendly Great value for the price I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be back again!
While in south Florida I was invited to eat at Pollos y Jaras at the Aventura Mall. The weather that day was mild which created a great opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The ceviche trio, not pictured, offered multitool types of ceviche with all three being tasty and the ceviche mad picante being my favorite. We then shared the Lolo Saltado and full Pollo a la Brasa . The meat was tender and mixed well with the sauce and fries in the lomo. The chicken was well seasoned and left you wanting to keep eating after you are full . The fires of course added a little more flavor and their house sauces were great for the chicken . I am a fan of comida peruana and will definitely eat here again when I am back in south Florida.
Delicious, fresh, vibey and attentive. Look saldato: a tad salty but the sauce is delicious. Got the ceviche from next door it was delicious and fresh. Not fishy at all The rotisserie chicken was juicy and flavorful. The fries were golden perfect and crispy Drinks were good but was a tad sweet. Service was excellent. 5/5
Muy buena experiencia cada vez que visito este lugar, la calidad y sabor de la comida es consistente y el trato como cliente es excelente. Me encanta su sazón original a la cocina peruana. Altamente lo recomiendo.
Very big portions and food was very good. The fries were surprisingly excellent and crispy. I would definately be back
We stopped by Pollos y Jarras while shopping at Aventura Mall and were pleasantly surprised. The food: We started with the causa crocante and it was insanely good. A creative twist on the traditional causa and packed with flavor. We also ordered "El Mostró de Miami," which gives you a taste of their rotisserie chicken, arroz chaufa, and fries. The chicken was juicy, well cooked, and flavorful. The chaufa was also excellent. The fries, however, were disappointing, clearly from a frozen bag and not worth eating. For what they charge, you would think they would make fresh homemade fries. The sauces that came with the meal were not impressive either. The vibe and service: We sat outside on the patio which was nice and made for a relaxed meal during a shopping break. Service was quick and friendly, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Bottom line: Worth returning for the chicken, chaufa, and that amazing causa crocante. Next time I will skip the fries and the sauces and stick with what they do best.

Absolutely delicious! This is probably my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Florida. I've visited Peru many times and their Pollo a la Brasa tastes just like how they cook em' there. And of course, you gotta have your sauces as well. They provide 6 sauces in a rack they leave in the table. Please don't hesitate to try them if you haven't! When I come here with family, we usually order 'Pollo a la Brasa' with french fries and salad. I usually like to order Chicha Morada or Inca Kola for my beverage. The staff is always polite and cordial to me. And I love the decor they have inside the restaurant. read more

I am Peruvian, very proud of our internationally recognized cuisine, and I always like to support Peruvian restaurants when they truly deserve it. Nowadays, many restaurants sell a so-called "culinary experience," which should include not only the food, but also the way customers are treated -- regardless of whether they dine in or order takeout. I have been to this restaurant many times, as well as to Cvi.che 105 at all of its locations, and I have always had good experiences, specially good food. Unfortunately, this time the experience at this location was extremely disappointing. Because of its location on our way home, we placed an online order for pickup. When I arrived, I politely asked if they could include the free appetizer they normally serve to customers who dine in called "aguadito". The manager immediately refused, saying it was only for dine-in customers. Even after I pointed out that I was paying the same price and leaving the same tip, I was told that management had decided not to include it for online orders. This response was so ridiculous and absurd. At almost every Peruvian restaurant, when you order takeout, they include "canchita" without even being asked. In this case, I asked for it and was still denied. Honestly, it felt like at the pickup counter they wouldn't even offer a glass of water if you asked, despite the fact that I was purchasing two rotisserie chickens with fries at a price higher than many competing restaurants. And believe me, this is not about the small appetizer itself. It is the response that makes you upset. That appetizer, which is served to every dine-in table, probably does not even cost a dollar, yet they choose to say no to a loyal customer who is spending his money at their restaurant. That kind of attitude is what leaves you feeling frustrated, angry and unappreciated. It is clear that Chipoco's managers do not understand that the "experience" should apply to all customers, not just those sitting at a table. Or perhaps they fail to realize that there are many excellent Peruvian restaurants nearby, offering both great food and proper customer service. Good luck to Chipoco at the Sawgrass location. I hope management changes its attitude, because this is exactly how restaurants lose loyal customers. As for me, I will not be choosing this restaurant again for any future "experience." read more

The best Peruvian chicken in the area! There are a lot of Peruvian restaurants in south FL but this one stands out! Chicken is the best - juicy, flavorful...yam! Sweet potatoes were excellent! Ambience is nice but gets noisy as tables are close to each other . The place gets full very fast but to our luck we didn't need to wait... It was a quick stop to try this spot and we definitely will be back to try more food ....cannot wait! read more
It's been almost a year that I don't visit this location. I came in with my dad and my nephews to grab a quick lunch before dropping them off at the airport. It was not too busy and we were sat fairly quickly. We were a party of 6 and our server took care of us fast. I order their tropical sangria that had lychee and I enjoyed a lot. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. I also ordered the anticuchos de corazón de res and they were delicious. Overall I will come back again. read more

Copy of the bill of the rudest server we have encountered coming to this restaurant for years since they opened up as a Aventura Local's patrons, Brian doesn't represents what real hospitality restaurant industry is, he was extremely unpleasant, unprofessional, aggressive and not polite; always rushing, we did not enjoy our meal in a very special occasion, as women's international day, march 8th, we felt so uncomfortable that we even skipped dessert to go somewhere else at the mall to have our customary happy ending sweet treat, we just wanted to get out of there, we come here very often once a week minimum and we have had great times , food always on point, drinks, greeters, but this man was awful, as a server, such a shame with this horrible service experience. I will continue to go back to eat but avoid Brian as server. read more

Sister restaurant to ceviche 105 which is next-door. They have more Peruvian cuisine here and slightly different menu. The food here was tasty, but the portions are small. Don't plan on sharing too much. The flavors were very good and the cauza was the winner. The Tito sauce was excellent. The chicken was just OK. I am used to Peruvian, roasted chicken, being extremely juicy and flavorful and truthfully I don't think this was any better than Pollo tropical, therefore I give them three stars as their main focus should be on their chicken as in the name of the restaurant. Service was excellent. Location is at the Aventura mall so pricing was not bad for the mall. Probably would not go back with the number of proving restaurants around and also next-door ceviche 105 is superior. read more

I recently tried Apollo y Jaras for the first time, which is the sibling restaurant to Ceviche 105. While both share similar menus, this one focuses more on Peruvian BBQ, whereas Ceviche 105 specializes in seafood. We ordered the Lomo Saltado, Pollo Saltado, and Milanesa de Abuela, but unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the meal overall. To start, we were served a complimentary soup, but it was too salty for my taste. The Lomo Saltado, which featured both steak and chicken, was also quite salty, though it had good flavor. The Pollo Saltado was similar--flavorful but on the salty side. The Milanesa de Abuela was lacking in seasoning, and the Huancaina pasta was so overwhelmingly cheesy that it overshadowed the other flavors. The Pisco Sour, however, was a highlight! It was light, refreshing, and definitely enjoyable. As for the service, it was decent--nothing special, but it got the job done. the ambience was nice, it was more laid back than Ceviche. The ceiling was adorned with vibrant Peruvian colors, featuring an array of blow-up balloons that beautifully represented the essence of Peru. Overall, while I had high hopes for Apollo y Jaras, I wasn't completely blown away. The flavors just didn't balance out the way I expected. read more
Pollos y Jarras has always been one of my favorite Peruvian restaurants when visiting Miami. This is my second visit to this location at the Aventura Mall. I love the restaurant's decor is colorful yet still feels trendy. We went closer to 5 p.m. and were seated right away. Typically, you get a complimentary "aguadito" soup before you place your order. This time we didn't even though all the other tables around us were. For our appetizer we got the causa limeña ( chicken) and it was good. I ordered my usual fish ceviche, to my surprise the portion was significantly smaller compared to the last time I went. It was still the same price and the flavor was ok. We also ordered a side of yuca fries and the Chaufa Criollaso steak which is Chinese-Peruvian rice made in a wok for extra flavors. My husband liked it. Overall, the experience felt odd and I have fixed feelings. Maybe it was an outlier day and we got the wrong server. read more

Visited Pollos & Jarras this past weekend and was so impressed with how delicious the food was. My husband and I went for lunch. We were immediately seated inside. The service and ambience were great. We loved the mini soup starter. It was so delicious! I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and it was so good, full of flavor! read more

Came here with my family and had an amazing lunch. Our server was super attentive and was very helpful with explaining the menu. This was my first time eating Peruvian food and I will 100% be back. My Carne Asada was perfectly cooked and the rice was delicious. This might be one of the best Rotisserie Chickens I have ever had. Very juicy and flavorful. The restaurant was super clean and the decor was very cute. Amazing place to stop by and eat after walking through the mall. I really recommend this place. read more

The food here is always amazing! The service though is what lack a bit of personality. They had to correct our latte order and our server wasn't careful. He spilled soup on me once he brought the welcome soups, which are always delicious. read more
Went to the location in the aventura mall, it's near the Nike store (the mall is massive so you can definitely get lost). Overall the ambience is colorful and fun while the servers are dressed like it is a fine dining restaurant while their menus reminds me of senior frogs. Laminated with one page, a sign about the quality of the food. The restaurant appears to partner with Civ.che 105 so you can order from both menus. To start, I ordered sangria, but I ended up with medicine and some fruit. I thought it was odd when the sangria included brandy and Fanta. Others got the sours which were very good, so I had the regrets and a touch of envy of my friends drink orders. Onto the food... it started off well with chicharron and yuca fries. They were both nice and crispy, I enjoyed the pickled red onion on the chicharron. There was actually some meat on the chicharron, so it was a little cross between a chicharron and a pork chunk. The yuca fries were perfectly fried but wish we had more. Although the meal was making its comeback, the entree's fell short. The rotisserie chicken was fine, it wasn't much different than a costco chicken besides the steep price difference. We ordered the ceviche that has 4 different types. 1/4 was good, which was the spicy one although I couldn't taste the spice. The other 3 ceviches were super tart and lacked flavor. The steak we ordered made up for the previous two entrees but it was pretty small. We also ordered the Peruvian fried rice, which was a nicely plated food court fried rice. read more

First time coming to this location. I have been to their downtown location quite a few times though. Food is consistently good, so is service. The only thing I will have to say is that our server: Melissa (I think) missed a good opportunity to make service a bit better. Once we sat down, they brought out their famous consomé. She asked us if we had been there before. I said yes but that my husband hadn't been at any of the locations. So she said with a smile: oh, so u know what this is. Lol. I did but he didn't. She left to check on other tables and I explained to him what it was. Other than that, it was great as has always been my experience at their downtown location. read more
