I'm not sure if I'm just scarred from 3 years ago when I got food poisoning from here but this really did not hit. There was no flavors in the chicken or rice, but the fried plantains were sweet just how I like them. The portion size and the sauces are the only good thing I can say about this establishment. I tried to give it a chance after all this time but it will forever remain a no go in my book. read more

1) Half chicken, dark meat, double cabbage for my sides/food was awesome. 2) Service is always fast & friendly. 3) Restaurant & restroom is clean. This is a must for people who like good food, and they are heavy handed with the sides you choose. read more

Honestly, I don't know why I ever reviewed this place as four stars. I'm still coming here after all this time, though lunch is no longer $6.50. Still highly recommend though :) read more

Quick service, fresh hot food! People were inside picking up orders, no one eating inside. Customers kept telling employees how much they like the business and employees. Chill vibes. read more

Insanely good food. Like good enough that we happily drove 45 minutes out of our way to go here. The portions are absolutely monstrous. They can't even close the lid on the container there's so much in it. The staff is super friendly everything is constantly being freshly prepared and restocked. Plenty of seating inside but nothing outside that I've seen. The line can get long on a weekday for lunch, so plan ahead! Some of the best Peruvian chicken I've had anywhere. Definitely go! read more

Super Chicken Rico - 1/2 Chicken White Meat Sides: Fried Yucca and Chaufa Rice with pinto beans on top - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I've been coming here for about 15 years (since they opened) I used to make the trek from Edgewood because it was so good. The chicken is still great, and their menu has expanded over the years. Still my go to take out place for Peruvian chicken. read more

I haven't been back in the area in a long time and was so looking forward to some Peruvian chicken but this place wasn't what I remember. The seasoning wasn't there, the mild sauce was runny, and I was disappointed. Last time I ate there (maybe 10 years ago) it was awesome. Step up your game guys... you're losing it. read more

Pretty authentic Peruvian chicken, decent prices for a large amount of food. The staff members were fantastic, if you're hungry for some good chicken, this is the place. read more

The chicken has a nice flavor and spice but it was dry, the rice and black beans were really good. I would go back as they open maybe the chicken will be better read more

Food is always hot and fresh. Chicken is always moist, and customer service is pretty good. This is the only one that I go to.

We ordered a whole chicken with two sides and the meal came with 6 sauces which were 2 different sauces in six little cups. I liked the sweet creamy white sauce, but the creamy green sauce wasn't our favorite....just not for us. The chicken was great! It was super juicy and had a great mild flavor. The cole slaw was creamy and sweet and the green beans were nothing spectacular. I'd like to try some other sides like yucca next time. Good place to try in the area to pick up food. Inexpensive and friendly service. read more

The sides were good. We liked the green beans, plantains and yuca fries. We had been excited to try the chicken, because I love the many Peruvian chicken places in and around Raleigh, but we were disappointed today. As others have said, the large portion of 1/4 white meat chicken was well cooked and beautifully charred, but it was extremely salty, and my dad found it almost inedible. I haven't seen this in other reviews, but it was a problem for us today. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall place. I didn't expect it to be fancy, but it didn't seem clean. Our table was unbalanced, and it made eating awkward. I would have liked for them to be more environmentally friendly, too. We ate in, and our food was served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils in a community basket, so many hands were touching them. Also, there was no recycling receptacle for the utensils, water bottles and soda cans. On the plus side, their prices are quite reasonable. read more

The people complaining about this place are probably the same ones that go to McDonald's and tell their friends that food is good/healthy with a straight face. If you've been in the APG area, you know decent food is hard to find. Sure there are the typical fast food joints, but if you want something different and slightly better, look no further. I found this place when my car broke down last year. It was in some random area off the road. Probably the worst location ever. But where they lose in location, they make up in food, prices, and quantities. I attached a picture I've had now twice. No complaints except they overcharge on the drinks IMO. But hey, bring your own water or wait until after you eat. This place is underrated, terribly located, but makes tummys elated. read more

This was recommended to me by a friend and when I looked at yelp to check the reviews i was convinced, went there on a Sunday and its not that busy.

Freaking delicious. It does get busy, so go early! I always get a half chicken (white meat), rice and green beans...and the yellow sauce. It's always good and very filling! read more

I got the quarter chicken with fries and potatoes. The chicken was very good , had flavor and wasn't dry . The fries were pretty bland and the potatoes were cold but tasted okay. read more

Super Chicken Rico - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

Love this place. Best seasoned chicken ever. In the south, we don't have many "Peruvian style" food, so this is a treat Ordered the fried tilapia and was "pleasantly surprised" that when it says whole fish, it means whole fish. It too was seasoned well and the way it was cooked you could easily slip the meat off the bone. Will continue to bring my out ocf town guests here for a flavorful meal Yeah. It's kinda a "hole in the Wall". And I've not seen it crowded. But I do see ALOT of take outs. The grilled/roast chicken is pricy, but healthier and more meat than most fast food chicken places read more

Super Chicken Rico - Whole tilapia - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I ordered carry out from Super Chicken Rico one night since one of my colleagues had highly recommended it. I ordered the 1/4 white meat chicken with sides of fried yukka and vegetables. The chicken was wonderful- perfectly seasoned and fell right off the bone. I could see the chickens roasting in the back when I arrived, so I know it is very fresh when you order. The vegetables were seasoned nicely as well and consisted of carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli mostly. The fried yukka was unfortunately cold and seemed to be sitting out for a while, which is the reason why I have to get this review 4 stars. I would absolutely recommend the chicken, but my advice would be to scan the sides to try and see which is the most fresh before you order. read more

One of our family's favorite pick up places for delicious homemade food at a great price. The chicken is AMAZING, we love their rice, yuca and plantains. Generous portions so we always have leftovers. Definitely recommend! read more

You gotta love a place where the customers give the best advice about what to try. The roasted chicken is no joke. The chicken is roasted over a wood fire and the smokiness and deep flavor comes right through. On my last visit a regular asked me if I had ever tried the fried whole fish )I hadn't). He begged me to add it to my order, with plantains and fried yucca. The BEST thing I have ever impulsively done! The skin was crisp and the fish tender. Across the board delicious. Remember, you may have to wait while they fry your yucca...totally worth the wait. read more

Excellent food and very friendly staff. The ceviche here is one of the best I've ever had. Keep up the excellent work and thank you

Very tasty food I an my family order all the time from them..we ordered today for my husband birthday

I Hardly ever write a bad review. Since the pandemic I've made a conscious effort to support small businesses. The food is good but when i ordered 3 dark meat plates (chicken) (for some reason they don't like for you to do that but couldn't give me a reason why) they started talking smack in Peruvian with the intent of me not understanding. Very unprofessional. I would think if I'm paying for the food why is it a problem with what I order if it's on the menu. Didnt ask for substitutions or anything. They Definitely don't have to worry about this customer spending money there anymore. More interested in patronizing small businesses with good customer service who welcome the local consumer support. read more

This place is consistently busy and the chicken is done right. I've been to a few peruvian chicken spots where the chicken is either dry or the quantities are sub par. This spot exceeds all expectations and when you're around for the APG lunch hour, you will feel it. Lines can be long so plan accordingly. I have both the chicken plate and the burrito on separate visits and it is ALWAYS good. As far as sides, I always get the yucca and beans. I've tried the pasta and fried rice and that is killer too. The staff are always friendly and patient with you even if a line extend behind you. Thats what I call service. Parking can also be a tough but find a spot and walk it. It's worth it. read more

The chicken is awesome and the sides are authentic. I eat here whenever I am in town. Quick service and a great value! read more

Super Chicken Rico - Quarter chicken dark with rice and beans. Excellent! - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

Rating them perfect based on the taste of their food. Normally, I order the 1/4 dark chicken with 2 sides but the skewered shrimp is deliciousness on a stick, too. English isn't a strong suit but you can't have everything. Don't miss this experience. read more

I don't know what it is with these people. Some times they really act like they are doing you a favor by serving you. They just slopped the food in the container where it was everywhere. They didn't give me everything I wanted. I'm so sick of ordering stuff only to get home and it's not there. This was the very last time I ever go there. read more

Very solid Pollo a la brasa joint. They do it in the typical Peruvian style and they do it quite well. The chicken is very nicely seasoned and obtains a nice smokey flavor. The texture is pretty darn good though a higher level of perfection could probably be attained through trussing or cooking the parts separately. We also got sides of fried plantains and fried yucca. Both were quite tasty. The yucca had a solidly crispy exterior with oily flavor that was enjoyable. The interior of some of the pieces still was a bit overly starchy and dry. The plantains were sweet but a bit too gooey. Check this place out if you're popping through. read more

Get the Chicken!! The rotisserie chicken is delicious! Juicy, seasoned well, crispy chicken skin( and who doesn't love crispy chicken skin) and golden brown! See pic. The Meals come with 2 sides and range from $8 -$11 depending on white/dark meat and the amount( 1/4 or 1/2 chicken meal). The sides are limited. Rice, beans, plantains, yucca, French fries, seasoned potatoes( I think they are roasted) and green beans. Here are the Cons: 1. The restaurant is small so you will leave smelling like smoked chicken if you dine in. 2. If you drive too fast you will miss it. It's tucked away on a small street across from a dingy motel 3. No kids Meals. 4. Cashier wasn't very friendly Overall, solid 3 to 3.5 stars for the Food. read more

After all the great reviews we decided to stop here for lunch on our way to Baltimore. I would call this Peruvian junk food, so be ready for a fatty splurge. It tastes really good, but there was a pool of liquid grease in my takeout container after I finished my sandwich. My husband and I shared both the Chicken Rico sandwich and a chicken BBQ sandwich. The style of sandwich reminds me of po' boys, if you're familiar with Cajun food. They were similar, both with the roasted chicken, ranch dressing, lettuce, onion, tomato, on a soft roll, and add bbq sauce for the bbq one. The french fries weren't great but we did go after the lunch rush so maybe they rushed a new batch for us? They weren't crispy and got a lot of the fatty oil from the sandwich on them in my takeout container. I regret that we didn't try the plantains or some of the other menu items, but we will go back next time we head south. The staff was very friendly and food was made to order very quickly (we were there between 1 and 2pm on a week day). The restaurant was clean and organized when we were there. I am posting a couple photos of the menu because I had such a hard time finding anything for them online (no website nor menu page). Another Yelper put a menu up but I could barely read it. read more

Food is fresh and hot. The seasoning is on point. Good variety of menu choices. The portions are very generous.

I've been to this location as well as the one in Baltimore. This place is much smaller. It tastes like the same recipe as in Baltimore, but the rotisserie chicken was very slightly not as blackened. Then again, I went in during lunchtime. I think that the prices may be a little bit lower here too. The portions here are equally as large. I ate the rotisserie chicken with fried yucca, plantain bananas, and corn tortillas, with a coconut water (with pulp) drink. read more

Hello, Unfortunately, I need to report a food safety issue based on my experience on January 2, 2022. I purchased chicken and green beans from Super Chicken Rico located in Golden Ring Shopping Center ( 8640 Pulaski Hwy, Baltimore, MD 21237) to find an insect of some kind at the bottom of my green beans (please see attached photos). The store was made aware and did not offer reimbursement or apologies. Please inspect this facility for health and safety concerns. They are a really popular restaurant in the community and they clearly have an infestation problem that I am sure that consumers are unaware of. This is very disappointing and disheartening as someone who expects that food safety would be a guarantee. At minimum not to have or to potentially eat a "roach like" appearing bug that WAS NOT ON THE MENU!!! Feel free to contact  me if you have any questions via email or on my cell at 443-760-1760.

This place rocks! Come early so u can get the chargrilled chicken when its hot and fresh and before they run out. I came at around noon, and the lines were already forming and many of the sides were already gone. I tried the chicken white rice which had a hint of curry or something asian and is sooo gooood. The fried yuca with green pepper sauce will blow your mind away. I take that back, anything with that green pepper sauce is win. And finally, of course the chicken was fricken awesome. I got the 1/2 chicken (comes with both light and dark meat) which turned out to be too much even for me!! Just means more leftovers i suppose. The 1/4 chicken is enough for most average ppl. Oh and get the Inka soda its like cream soda with bubblegum flavoring. Gasp!! All and all for the price and quantity nothing really comes close in that area of MD. I mean ive been to some places in nyc, like pio pio which i think are not as good as here. Go! read more

Burritos are large enough to feed two. Dinner plates are scrumptious especially the yucca. I love the creamy sauce on the side. Food is always fresh. Staff always seem busy and standoffish but it may be due to the language barrier. Nevertheless I'm glad this place is convenient to my home & work. read more
