First time at Spin Pollo. We were very happy with our choice. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The fried yuca was crispy outside, tender inside. The arroz chufa was delightful. The service was excellent and the servers were polite and helpful. Everything was very clean, including the spotless ladies restroom. Will definitely go back! read more

It was my first time trying Peruvian chicken and it was AMAZING! There was a lot of people but service was fast. Not too loud inside either. The chicken was good and juicy, there was literally no bad bite. Also first time trying yucca fries and they honestly taste so much better than regular fries! The thickness was real. Pasta salad was alright nothing special but it cut through the other flavors by adding a fresh taste. Overall would come again! read more

Spin Pollo - Peruvian with yucca fries and pasta salad - Peruvian Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Mediocre. The chicken is usually pretty good, though getting a dry one occasionally happens. However, the sides are pretty bad. The rice is plain white rice with not a single vegetable, the mashed potatoes can be very dry. Choices of sides are extremely limited. The beans taste like they are from a can. The service time varies. Keep in mind this establishment has very little seating and is more of a take-out place. And the value is only fair, as prices are high for take-out chicken, particularly when they come with sides that no one will eat. We have come here several times, but I am convinced there are better places out and will probably look elsewhere next time. read more

Haven't been to Kingstowne in a little while. Discovered this place while doing some shopping, we got food to-go. We got the whole chicken with Yucca, Plaintain, Black Beans, Seasoned Potatoes and Fried Rice. The rice was my absolute favorite. The Yucca wasn't crispy enough for me, I like the golden brown look. The chicken was seasoned right. We will return when in Kingstowne again. read more

The steak and cheese was surprisingly really good! In most places it's hit or miss at a Peruvian spot but this was perfectly cooked and tasted really good, i would definitely get it again!! I'm really convinced this place has the best Yucca, it's always the best at Spin Pollo, fresh and crispy which I love and the chicken is superb read more

I ordered a quarter white lunch meal with two sides. The chicken is super delicious lots of flavor and good portion size. The rice with beans on top was really good too. I missed out on getting yuquita balls though. Those are filled with cheese in the middle. The yellow sauce is a must if you order the chicken. Just dip it in while eating! read more

Spin Pollo - Quarter Chicken Two Sides - Peruvian Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Food was okay. Just okay. The beef Loma noodles dish was salty and when we added green sauce it was extremely salty and inedible. Service was great. Everything seemed clean and staff were cleaning / cooking diligently. I will return and update my review . But for what I ordered it just didn't set off any bells. Except the yucca balls - those were a solid no for us. The texture. Needs something to accompany the cheese . Some flavor / texture. read more

Very delicious and fresh food. Came in around 5:30pm on a Monday and my food was ready within 90 seconds. I came in slightly before the dinner rush and it was slow but the staff weren't sitting on their phones... they were sweeping the floors, cleaning the tables and working hard behind the counter. I hope they stick around because having a fast quick healthy meal is more important than ever in my household :) read more

This review is long overdue for a visit last year. Unfortunately it was the first and last. We actually ordered food for delivery and was appalled that the chicken was not entirely cooked. It was slimey and not at all how chicken should taste. It went right in the trash. I had never experienced an undercooked chicken at a rotisserie restaurant. For the sides we had the yuca fries which were ok but not outstanding, and the Mc and cheese which was the best out of everything we ate. The prices are steep, and the quality and taste did not match the prices. Can't comment on the dining in experience and staff since we ate at home. I unfortunately was so grossed out by the uncooked chicken that I can't come back to give them another chance. read more

Stopped into Spin Pollo for lunch. The place was very busy. The service was quick and my food came out very hot. The lomo saltado comes with fries. I would get the dish again, but without the fries served with the lomo saltado. The churros were a great sweet treat. I just wish the caramel was served warmed. read more

I had the half chicken with two sides. The chicken had good flavor and cooked well. I had the yuca and coleslaw. They give you 3 different sauces but you end up running out with half a chicken. All the other pollo places I've been, they give you double the sauces that are provided with a quarter chicken when purchasing a half. Of course its only 35 cents for extra sauces which would be about a dollar. Pricewise the half chicken costs about 10% more than the other pollo places I usually go to that already give twice the sauces. After tax, its $17 so with additional sauces it would be about $18. Its still a good option but slightly pricey to have when I'm in the area. read more

Horrible customer service. Waited 30 min for my order and it still wasn't ready. Just cancelled it.

I hadn't been here in a while so I decided to pop in. They have some additional and new menu items so I was excited. I wanted something sweet so I got the churros with caramel on the side. 4 nice size churros with dip for 5.99. I don't use the dip and they were good. I also got the lomo saltado and like always I enjoyed it. It was juicy and flavorful and just what I wanted and needed. My food was cooked to ordered I didn't wait too long they did have a lot of door dash orders and Alot of people on and out ordering which is always good. read more

Not sure whose idea it was but when you order a half a chicken, why am I only getting three sauces? It's the same as in ordering a quarter chicken the math is not mathing! More chicken, salmon, tomato sauce they couldn't explain to me that logic so I left the chicken there and won't be going back!! There are too many Pollo places to go to with better customer service. read more

Every time we've ordered food from Spin Pollo, the food has tasted fresh and wonderfully made. The restaurant is always busy but clean and organized. The food arrives on time and they do well on delivering the food when the food order is placed over the phone. read more

I forgot how amazing the food is here at Spin Pollo. They are known for their chicken, but their carne asada is excellent also. This is an ideal location in Kingtowne with plenty of parking and outdoor seating. The indoor vibe is pretty cool too, when it's hot outside. Spin Pollo has several healthy options, fresh ingredients and nice large portions. Great for takeout or a causal date night. Excellent service, friendly environment. Try the churros for dessert. read more

I pass by this spot all the time and the smells finally won me over! The chicken is cooked to perfection! I got a 1/4 dark and it was some of the juiciest I've ever had. I thought it might be just because they had just opened up for the day but I went back the next day at a later time and the chicken was just as fresh. The yuca is delicious here and seems like they always have some fresh out of the fryer. The sauces are all tasty and I can't pick a favorite. This place is the real deal! I'll be back soon read more

Came here on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. We went for a half chicken with the side of fried yucca and fried rice and an order of lomo saltado. I also was told to try the chicha morada (a purple corn drink.) Chicken was great. Since I did takeout the skin doesn't stay crisp, but the flavor was quite good. For most of the pieces, the seasoning seemed to penetrate the meat. Fried yucca is pretty much fried yucca and the fried rice was also good. I shredded up some chicken and like to mix it with the rice, yucca, plus some of the green sauce (it's got a kick!) I barely got a taste of the lomo saltado as my wife had it. Large slices of beef. Also good flavor, more soy sauce forward and not as strong a vinegar taste. I had no idea what to expect chicha morada, but it reminded me a lot of jamaica (hibiscus tea.) read more

While Luis C's review may be on point for authenticity, I will tell you that as far as the Peruvian Chicken, it is on point. Delicious. It's not just the blah rotisserie chicken that so, so many "Peruvian" chicken places try to pass off as Peruvian. Juicy, fresh and full of flavor! I will be back to sample more of their menu. To Luis C., authenticity is hard to find around here, but I've found that only Waku Chicken in Herndon and El Rancho in Springfield (which is more pan-latin than Peruvian) come close. Either way, Kingstown has so many options and it is good to have some additional variety. Spin Pollo has an expansive, but still limited menu compared to my reference locations above. They may expand their offerings as they move forward, or they may focus on what they do best. Only time will tell... read more

I went here for the first time today, I ordered through door dash. My order was ready and complete, the staff was friendly and it looks like they do alot of take out order The chicken was juicy and moist, just the right spices! I ordered a side of fried rice and onion salad. Both wore very good! I also ordered a side of plantains which were yummy and caramelized just perfect, along with some yucca balls which were absolutely scrumptious! Their sauces are very good but you only get to choose from either green or yellow or pink not a combination like other places. I did pay extra for additional sauces though, they also sell their sauces in a squeeze bottle. Overall solid new place here in kingstowne!! read more

I live in Kingstowne so it's convenient for me to grab a quick bite. Their Peruvian chicken is one of the best I've had including the plantains. I've come to this place several times and has also been my go-to place when I'm craving for peruvian chicken. read more

Spin Pollo is a newer Peruvian eatery that had opened up in the Kingstowne area - I had heard some rave reviews about this place from those who live in the area, stating that it's one of their top choices for meals. The menu offers family styles, chicken combos with sides or no sides, wings, subs, and even house specialties (such as the lomo saltado). We had the following order to go: +Yuquita Balls - you can choose between 3- or a 5-piece order, in which we opted for the 3 pieces; these were mashed yuca balls stuffed with a blend of 3 different types of cheese inside; unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of these, as these tasted more like a dessert rather than a savory appetizer; also, the cheese inside were a bit coagulated and not the lovely melty consistency that you expected; also, I feel the oil could be changed as there was an off-putting taste to these +1 Whole Chicken with 2 Sides - from the extensive list of sides, we went for the mashed potatoes with the gravy on the side; I felt the chicken itself was not flavorful - the skin had its spices and seasonings, which made it super salty, but none of that permeated through the meat; the chicken itself was extremely large in size - think of like double the size of Costco's rotisserie chicken; it kind of freaked me out in how large their chicken was; I also felt the chicken could have been cooked longer, as there were some areas that were red/pink, which is a huge no in my book Also, the prices here are definitely steep; considering, the place is super stingy with their sauces. Note that only 6 little cups of sauce come with a whole chicken, but at least the sauces could be filled to the top rather than halfway - pretty janky, if you ask me. From this meal, we had enjoyed the mashed potatoes immensely; the gravy wasn't need, and it was weird with its clear liquidy look, but the potatoes themselves were super whipped, creamy, and buttery - definitely one of the better sides we've had in a while. Not sure if this place is worth a return visit, but I'm glad I was able to give them a try. +super stingy with sauces (even for family meals) +good mashed potatoes - avoid the gravy (not needed) +located in the Kingstowne Towne Center read more

Glad to have another option for Peruvian chicken in Springfield. There's really only a handful. This was my first time in after seeing that they recently opened in the Kingstown shopping center. They are located between Home Goods and &Pizza. There seemed to be quite a few people coming in and out, which is always a good sign. There were also quite a few people who looked like they were waiting for their food. What I realized after getting to the counter, is that there was a 10 minute wait for white meat chicken. That was a bit disappointing as I am not a huge fan of dark meat. Went with the dark meat anyway since I wanted to try the chicken. Comes with 2 sides. Went with the white rice and black beans. They have a variety of sides that are out for you to see. All sides looked fresh and full. I was a little turned off that there wasn't much attention given to keeping the dining area clean. There were all kinds of food remnants on the floor. Seemed like everyone working had to be behind the counter, which is prob why they weren't able to keep the dining area clean. Aside from them not having white meat chicken available and the unkept dining area, the food was really good!! I was happy that they knocked that out of the park. Chicken was perfectly seasoned, the white rice was more than just a basic white rice. It had mix veggies in it which was tasty. For me the most important item when eating Peruvian chicken is the green spicy sauce. I fall in love when the green sauce is good. Their's is good!! It is just the right amount of spice and has the perfect consistency. I got super excited when I saw they sold it in little bottles to take home for $3. That's what you call a win. I'm hoping in time they get things moving a bit smoother. I'm a fan and am happy to have found my new Peruvian chicken spot! read more

Good is great every time. Extremely sad I moved out the area. Many may not like the mixed veggies due to lack of seasoning but I loved it. Chicken is always cook properly and their green sauce is FIREEEEE! Literally. read more

This has been the worst chicken I've ever had. The chicken was so dry I choked on it. Another bad thing about the chicken was it's bland taste. The service was alright. The place looked nice but the food was straight DOG! I wouldn't even give a piece of chicken to my pet dog because of how bad the food was. The beans had a weird smoke taste to it. Don't get the roasted potatoes they taste like fish with butter. Grocery store chicken is better than this and priced way better. read more

Our go to for Peruvian chicken in kingstowne. Why drive far. So many choices for things to eat here. Nothing ever disappoints here.

HUGE portions and moist, tasty chicken! Ordered pick up, but service was fast and friendly. Clean, quaint set up, not that big of a space. We ordered the fried rice, which was a fusion of flavors. I recommend sticking with the plain rice, which still has veggies mixed in. The plantains were my favorite side dish. Definitely will be back for more soon! read more

Really good chicken! The only downside is that since it is authentic rotisserie chicken, some of the items where they shred it for you can have bones in them. I have discovered one instance of a bone in my Chicken Burrito and another a very hard inedible piece of cartilage. Would be nice if they were a bit more careful, children could choke on that kind of thing. But the flavors are delicious, and this location has Churros which are also good but a bit pricey. read more
