Great mom and pop place with very very good roasted chicken. The place is small with a couple of tables. We usually order to go. A combo order of 1/2 dark chicken is awesome which we like with rice and fried yucca. But double rice is also a very good way to go. Both are also very good. Try the plantains as a dessert. Also, order a chicken tamale. These are great for tomorrow's lunch. They are really good. The service is just counter service but friendly. They are pretty quick in getting your order done. read more

(I ordered DoorDash) I ordered the 1/2 Chicken Meal, with onion rings, fries, a side of cheese fries, and jalapeno poppers. The food was packaged wonderfully, and was nice and hot on arrival. Inside of the jalapeno poppers container, there were five chicken wing sized jalapeno poppers. This would be my first time trying jalapeno poppers. It was a generous portion of half a jalapeno and significant filling, to compliment. They honestly weren't too hot and I rather enjoyed them. Inside of the container for the rotisserie chicken, fries and onion rings, there were a few pieces of chicken and six onion rings. The chicken had a beautiful herb-like taste to it. The chicken skin was soft and easily torn apart. The chicken meat was tender and able to be pulled away easily, while at the same time remaining juicy and flavorful. The pieces included in the half chicken were the leg, thigh, breast, and wing. The onion rings were a lovely beer-battered type, with light fluffy crunchy breading and a nice tender onion inside. This is my favorite way to get them. These are not the cheap style crunchy-crisp ones with a hard exterior shell. Inside of the container for the cheese fries there was a generous portion of cheese and fries with the cheese being evenly spread across the top of all the fries. The cheese fries were lovely. The fries were cooked just right and the cheese had just a slight hint of a spiced kicked to it, while remaining in the background on the edges of your tongue, not a full-frontal heated assault. On the downside, The meal didn't come with any napkins or utensils. Though with this kind of meal you shouldn't necessarily need it - but it would have been nice to see that it was included, as an option... Overall, the meal was enjoyable and I would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a new rotisserie chicken place. This one is a win in my book! read more

Absolutely SUPERB food! Ordered chicken, fries, yucca, onion rings and tacos. Everything was really delicious, tasty and hot. Order was delivered very quickly too. read more

I am picky when it comes to chicken in general, so my standards for Peruvian chicken are even higher. I had so many bad experiences when I lived in DC, but Ricky's was a very nice change of pace. The chicken is NOT dry (even the white meat!) and filled with flavor on its own. I won't say I didn't LOVE it with both the green and the yellow sauces, but I mostly used those for the delicious yuca . I got a side of salad as well; it was average. The tomatoes were definitely chopped in a hurry and it showed. read more

Food was an inedible disgrace to be extra crispy wings, sauce was as sparing as sparing could be, fries were despicable...don't waste your time & money on this. Sad...just sad. Service sucked because they were more focused on closing. Ambience is nonexistent. read more

Chicken tenders and fries are awesome according to a discriminating 7 year old. I had outstanding lamo saltado. I will order that again! I usually order the ribs but felt adventurous. I'm so glad I did! read more

We order as a group from Ricky's chicken every other Friday and have been for 6 months, two weeks ago we got rice instead of the fries we ordered with the chicken which was fine accidents happen, today we ordered a birria quesadilla that comes with rice and paid extra for a small Fry. The order was missing the small fry so my associate had to drive all the way back with the order only to be disrespected because they wanted to take the rice out and we showed them the menu that it comes with the order and we paid extra for a side small fry, the cashier then accused us of removing the fry box and we showed her where the bag was tied and there was no room for the fries! We didn't get them we are not trying to scam you the chicken here is awesome which is why our office orders from you every pay day, but if being called thieves is not enough she then continued to complain about us in Spanish as if we wouldn't understand it! Sorry Ricky's chicken but we will find a new place for the office to order every pay day, you food is amazing and I'm sure you do have people who try to scam you but being called thrives and being spoken about rudely is not the way you keep loyal customers!!!! read more

I ordered from Uber Eats and the meal arrived hot, the chicken was juicy and the fries were still crispy. The rice is scrumptious! Definitely a favorite in our house! read more

I only eat the Lomo saltado from here, the key is to pour the green sauce all over the meal. It's def not your normal Lomo, it's more of a guisado flavor. Portion is huge and I share it or save some for later read more

Rickys chicken has very delicious food. I have been here two times and I honestly enjoy their meals. First time I went here , I got their steak rice , fries and plantains every thing was so good. Only thing that was off was the overcooked steak and it was kind of tough. I also ordered the chimichanga which was delicious ! Im in love with their rice , it has such a nice flavor and it's definitely my favorite side. I also got their tres leches cake which is good but not great ..kind of pushing to "just okay" because there's not a lot of cake but more cream . read more

What a disappointment! My family wanted to go to kikiriki but instead we went to try Rickys. Chicken is whack. Yucca is whack. Had the "Lomo saltado" and it was taco steak meat with French fries. Wasn't even marinated steak like it's supposed to be. Sad day read more

Normally the food is very good. However today I ordered shrimp enchiladas and I must say I am highly disappointed. The enchiladas contained mostly shrimp shells and almost no shrimp. Poor quality control. read more

Chicken was good. Yucca was undercooked and I was given half a container of fries mixed with my yucca. Yucca costs extra so this was disappointing. read more

Excellent tasting rotisserie chicken. I ask for extra crispy. Good ambience. Sauces are delish. Highly recommend.

When I first started going to Ricky's I would only get the steak sandwich but one day one of the workers recommended the Lomo Saltado. I'm so glad she did because it's AMAZING! Since trying it here, I've ordered the same dish at other places but none have been as good as Ricky's. The only problem i have is with the rice- sometimes they put olives in it and I'm not a fan of them so it ruins the rice for me. But besides that everything else is perfect. read more

The chicken was rubbery... the white sauce was absolutely the worst thing I have ever tasted... it was so much grease at the bottom of the food tray... So yeah NO I will never eat here again... read more

Seasoned meticulously same way everytime, and They are generous with all of the sides if you chose menu specials Seems very clean inside and organized And reasonably priced read more

I have never eaten the chicken I always get the Lomo Saltado which I really like. So sorry I can't comment on the quality of the chicken. The place is very small I think about 6 tables and on the times I have went it was always crowded. There was steady stream of customers of various nationalities purchasing food. The majority of the staff (the ones I have encountered) are working on their English so if you place an order over the phone, please be PATIENT with them. They are very nice (especially the guy) and friendly to me as well as the people in the place. In terms of the food the meat was cooked perfectly as well as the fries. They weren't too soggy as I have encountered at other places when getting this meal to go. The rice and sauce is yummy and I must agree with the other yelper about the peas!! As you can see in my pic, I think I had half of one in my meal! Onions were nice and sweet also. I always get the rice pudding which is yummy but they were out of it on this day :(. They also have a good selection of various juices and sodas. I usually order over the phone and when I arrive it's always hot and ready. On the one time when I ordered in person by the time I went to the bathroom, bank, and back my food was ready. I don't know about the chicken but if you like steak and / or Lomo I'd def give them a try! read more

Ricky's Has Got To Be My favorite Peruvian chicken place out of everywhere I go!If you're in the mood for chicken, Go to Ricky's! Just Got Dumped? Go to Ricky's! Amazing Friday Feeling after school? Go to Ricky's! Such an amazing family that runs the place and the best flavor!!!! My family orders from here so much they have our order memorized. That should tell you how much I love the place also the fact that whenever I eat at another chicken place I feel as if I'm cheating on this one read more

The chicken was juicy and the rice was tasty. The white sauce has a vinegar taste to it and the jalapeño sauce was not that hot or spicy. It's good for a local restaurant. read more

Literally addicted to this place. The pollo is always juicy and tender aswell as well seasoned. The best green sauce i've ever had!!! I buy it by the pint and if I could by the gallon, it goes on everything!!! Also if you get yuca ask for extra crispy its the best way! read more

My first foray into peruvian chicken was in college when Ricky's Chicken first opened up. Maybe it was because it was my first taste, maybe it's because I havn't tried any better, or maybe it's because whoever is preparing this food sold their sould to the devil but this is the best peruvian chicken on the east coast!! The sauces are addicting, send the rice by the truckfull to my house,and the chicken...I need this in my mouth right now. The inside is nothing to brag about. Standard cafe type setting. Futbol on the tv. Inca Cola stacked to the ceiling. I usually get takeout anyways. Also, what's up with the random peas in peruvian rice? Does each store just buy 200 peas for the entire year and ration it accordingly? Step up the pea game. TL;DR Peruvian chicken at it's finest. read more

Decent Peruvian food! I love their rotisserie chicken with their green spicy sauce. The favorite thing to get there is their tres leche cake. The cake is just irresistible, it's milky at the bottom, unlike most places where the cake is dried. read more

Food and people are amazing. Lomo and the trés leche are greatness. Everything taste fresh and the aroma is even better. I've been coming here for years and passed by today having to experience it all over. read more

Disappointed is being generous. Ordered online, was charged to do so even though I wasn't made aware of a fee to order online, and they encouraged ordering online. I saw it in my receipt when I picked up. Ordered pupusas and they put them on top of a thin piece of wax paper, that was soaked through in grease and that laid on top of the slaw. So it was all wilted, hot and soggy. I checked the bag and when I noticed, and asked if I could just pay for a side of slaw, and not make it a big deal. It was given to me for free. Ordered 1/2 chicken with yuca and rice. Had to pay extra for white meat, even though it's half of the chicken. Fine.. But then there was hardly any meat on the bones. Rice was plain, no flavor. Yellow sauce is not traditional. It's tangy and more like a salad dressing Yuca... missing from the bag. I called to tell them and they gaslit me. I was kind in letting them know and not even an apology, just a straight "are you sure?" Like... really? Yes I'm sure, I'm staring at a puddle of chicken juice in the container where the yuca should be. I told them to just forget about it. Won't bother ordering from here again. There are better chicken places in town. read more

Fabulous chicken, very reasonable prices, and great service! Their entrees all seem to be consistently good; hubby also loves their tres leches cake for dessert. One of my favorite desserts in the world is flan, so of course I had to try it on our recent visit to Ricky's. Their flan is good, but not great -- it should be firmer and more dense. Great flan would definitely earn this business 5 stars from me. read more

We dined in and saw how busy this place was with take out orders. The plantains seemed to be a hit as a side order here. The roasted chicken deserves three stars. It was pretty good; tender and nicely flavored although I agree with another reviewer that El Pollo Rico might be a touch better. The yucca we ordered was also fine. The carne asada looked fabulous the seasonings made it seem like someone had confused salt for all other spices known to man. We tried pairing bites of the steak with the rice, tortilla, and both sauces but could not mellow out the over-salt. Finally, we complained about how salty the steak was. The guy behind the counter insisted there was nothing they could do about the marinade. Yet, to their credit they prepared another steak with marinade rinsed off. read more

Fast, friendly, helpful service Healthy, quickly and freshly prepared dishes. Recommend the sauteed strips of steak with rice and beans. If you enjoy your beef medium-rare then ask them to not cook it as much as usual. read more

Ricky's Chicken is amazing! All of the food is so fresh. They have online ordering that is super convenient and they do not cut your chicken until you arrive to ensure that it is still hot when you pick it up. There is a fee for online ordering (about $1.50), but still makes it easier than calling. read more

Excellent chicken, generous sides, and they have many many more menu options to choose from--perfectly tender chicharones and yuca are my favorite! This is an excellent takeout spot for this side of town. Definitely call ahead, it's a small place with a relatively small staff. If you're not familiar with the area, this is located in the same plaza as the Mapledale Giant, in the standalone cluster on the left. read more

I came here for lunch many years ago as I heard it was really good. But I wasn't impressed that time and never came back. So, when someone suggested it again recently, I decided to give it a try again and the experience was the same. The restaurant is mediocre when it comes to cleanliness, but for a place that cooks and sells Peruvian Spiced rotisserie chicken, there was absolutely no smell of this upon entering! I expected to enjoy some great smells and there was nothing, which was slightly disappointing, but I ordered the chicken anyway. The Yuca I got was very thick cut and was barely fried through and through, so when trying to bite it, it was nearly raw in the middle, which was "yucka!" The rice was tasty though. And when it came to the chicken, I realized why I didn't smell anything - it was clearly pre-cooked and very dry. It probably came from a warmer. I get that they can't really make rotisserie chicken to order, but it should be somewhat close to fresh or they can make chicken the way Nando's does, pre-spiced and marinated, but cooked to order. They also have Styrofoam plates and plastic spoons and bottles of soda, etc. Not what I prefer, but something I can most definitely take, if the food was worth it. Sorry, but I'm not coming back. read more

Got take out here with my mom! We absolutely loved the food- got the 1/2 chicken with two sides and the carne asada meal. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. The tres leches cake was decedent. Food was ready fast! read more

I really love Ricky's chicken and am a regular here. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I think that the only truly stellar meal here is the chicken. Anything else is average. That said, if you go for the chicken, it's outstanding! The portions are huge and prices reasonable. Peruvian chicken is one of my favorite foods and the way that Ricky's seasons their chickens is addictive and keeps me coming back. It tastes hearty, juicy and flavorful. The sides are all delicious, my favorites being the plantains, fried yucca and the rice (which is chock full of veggies and even olives!). Chicken also comes with two sauces, of which I can't choose a favorite because I love them both so much. The yellow sauce is very creamy, tangy and almost sweet, while the green is refreshing and a tad spicy. The horchata is also delicious and made in house. Love to go to Ricky's when I need a quick, no frills but extremely satisfying meal. Can't recommend the chicken enough! read more

I stopped in at 7pm for a quick dinner to go. And I was highly disappointed. The chicken was good. The yellow sauce is weird, I think they put vinegar in it, instead of yellow - it's pinkish. They charge you$0.25 per sauce. Most places give you one yellow and one green complimentary, but they do not. And the Yuca was so overdone it was brown and hard. I will stick to the Latin Grill in Springfield for my chicken and yuca. :/ read more

Ricky's Chicken - Overdone Yuca is the worst. :( - Chicken Wings Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I haven't found a good place for pupusas in the woodbridge area until now. They have really good chicken and their white dipping sauce is delicious. The 1/4 chicken comes with 2 sides, I get the yuca and the rice and it is very filling. Its probably a little expensive but you would pay the same amount for a #1 at McDonalds and definitely a lot better quality! The place is small and looks dirty but they keep the place clean. Not much space for a lot of people. Very Spanish, they even have novelas playing on the TV but if you are looking for authentic food, you should really stop by. read more

Our favorite local pollo restaurant! The chicken is delicious. My favorite sides are the rice and yucca, but if you're not a fan of yucca, go for the fries, which are also very good. My favorite sauce is the green and they always give us ample amounts of all of the sauces, despite complaints in previous reviews. I have 3 young children and they all love Ricky's, too. It's great when we can agree on what to have for dinner! read more

I ordered chicken enchiladas, red velvet cake and mango soda. The best part of my meal was the mango soda which was not homemade. The enchiladas had no cheese -- none. The red velvet cake was dry and the icing stuck together. I did not finish the meal which included three enchiladas, rice and salad. I ate two. read more

First time ordering from here food was ok. My two star is not for the taste but for them leaving out an item I paid for. Refusing to reimburse me. The food was delivered at my job and for I and some co-workers. Paid a nice amount and they forgot to add an item I ordered with the food. When calling to ask if the can rectafi the mistake they made it was no we can not give u your money back but u can come get it. You can get it with your next meal. Now if I could go to the restaurant , it would of went and not have it delivered. This was my first time ordering and I am met with this, why would I come back again. I ate thier food. The food did not make me forget about missing item. It was just ok and still pissed. Delivery fees, process fees, tips is no joke to get the order and have missing food. read more
