Got home and some food items were missing and when I called no one could speak English. They hung up on me!! Not going back there. Take my advice, don't buy food from here. read more

Excellent service and food. Love this place. It is my go to for dinner after work. Clean and great atmosphere read more

I'm not one to usually do reviews but I was left disgusted by the lady packing the food. She sneezed in her hands and proceeded to touch my food and bag without washing her hands. I confronted the lady and asked her for a new bag. I thought she would at least wash her hands but instead she gave me attitude and rudely continued to packed my food. Not going back there ever again. I can only imagine what they do when you're not looking. read more

The lunch special here is a great deal! It is offered between 11am and 4pm! Came here as a group of four and each got a lunch special with half a Peruvian chicken, fries, a fresh avocado salad, and a drink. Service was good. Our waitress was very friendly and approachable. Tables were clean and pre-set and had a paper on it rather than placemats. (Not super sustainable, but clean) It wasn't super busy here on a week night, but it wasn't quiet either. We were able to get seats immediately and there was no shortage of service here. I had leftovers from my lunch that I was able to bring home with even more green sauce to go! The green sauce here is delicious and spicy! The salad was very fresh. The chicken was yummy, but a little bit dry. read more

I hate to give this rating since I appreciated the nice customer service on uber- I wanted to exchange on chicken combo black beans and sweet plantains -store called to verify change and advise no availability of black beans Unfortunately maybe because it was an hour to close everything I got tasted old chicken was not flavorful and dry , rice hard, plantains greasy best was the red beans which were nicely flavored and the salchipapa My small $19 jalea fried seafood was inedible and smelled way too fishy as soon as opened it I tried a small bite of squid and shrimp to verify the past due point but got nauseous from one bite so literally had to throw entire portion out Store had already closed by the time I received so did not have option yo request removal from my bill Very generous portions read more

Been coming here for their rotisserie chicken, one of the best I've tried. I'm picky when it comes to meat, so I was impressed when the meat didn't tasted weird. The chicken here is usually small, well seasoned and cooked until tender. Their lunch special is $7 which includes 1/4 chicken (dark or white meat), fries or rice (yellow or white) and a salad. You can't beat that deal. When seated the server will bring you some roasted corn kernels with their special avocado mildly spicy sauce. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Amazing food!!! The prices are awesome, you get a lot of food. The place is nice and quiet. I've been coming here for over 14 years. The chicken is phenomenal!!! read more

I'm not sure if they changed the chef. Tonight I ordered 2 specials of quarter chicken with yellow rice and salad. 1 the food was frozen (mind you I live a block away) 2 I received white old rice, it definitely wasn't fresh, 3 the salad was a mess. I asked for extra dressing and they didn't provide that. The food was a complete mess. I called and they didn't have a manager on hand, unbelievable! They said that they'll resend my order but this time correctly. Then I get another call and they state that my food was delivered 45 mins prior to me calling for the complaint which is false. The service is TERRIBLE! They definitely deserve a negative 5 star. Ive been a loyal customer and I've excused there prior mess ups but this was the last straw. Beware future customers! read more

My partner and I came here yesterday because I've been coming here for months on my own and I wanted to show him Peruvian cuisine since he'd never been. It was busy and I understood. We ordered a whole chicken to share, with large white rice, small beans and a large order of fried cassava & tostones. The girl comes out with the chicken and beans but puts it at the wrong table. When she comes to us and asks if we ordered/received our food she realizes she gave our chicken and beans to the wrong table. We watched her as she went back to the table and noticed that the table had already picked at our chicken, she apologized to them and the worst part is she thought it was okay to give us the food that that table had already breathed and picked on. Extremely inappropriate. I understand things happen when it gets busy. But to think it's remotely okay to give someone who's also paying money to eat there what felt like scraps at that point, hell no. Another girl came and retook our order and still had the nerve to ask why we sent back the chicken that was already picked on from another table. Food eventually came and it was ok. Beans lacked so much flavor, rice was a bit mushy and the chicken we had gotten seemed undercooked and just overly soft when you bit into it. I'm not one to salt my food if I don't need it but I found myself having to salt my food so many times because of how it lacked flavor. Not appetizing at all. The only things that were tolerable were the sauce with the yucca which even then seemed slightly cold. I really wanted to support this business since it seems family owned, Latino etc and I'd been coming for a while now and never had an issue till now. Don't think I'll be back...should've just gone to my childhood restaurant, Mi Casa which is a few blocks down by 115. Way better, even if it is a Dominican restaurant. I was disappointed because it was my bf's first time there and I wanted him to like it, but he was just being nice lol read more

Food quality has gone down recently. I ordered a breaded fish that comes with French fries and rice and received a plate FULL of onions and one fillet of fish. No French fries but instead a small baked potato and a lot of rice. Sorry but not worth the $18. read more

Flavorful! The chicken is always moist! They also give great servings of food. I always order the half or whole chicken with rice & beans. I also order the salsa Criollla. It's vinegar based with onions and cilantro! Adds a great kick. The prices are reasonable, and again, you get a lot for your money. This is my favorite Peruvian restaurant! The staff are courteous and very efficient. The restaurant has great space for individuals that want to sit and dine. It's also very clean and upkept. The downfall for me, is that delivery takes quite a bit of time. read more

I ordered chicken lomo saltado. Unfortunately every single thing on the plate was extremely bland. Very disappointed, I was looking forward to it. read more

So So So So good. Green sauce is amazing. I always order extra to take home Only issue is the Rice is translated Backwards Arroz Blanco (Rice Yellow) Arroz Amarillo (Rice White) Its the opposite of what I want every time but Still great food read more

I WOULD NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! I live near by and decided to pick up 2 chickens for dinner. The cashier advised it would take 10 mins. I had been sitting waiting for over 20 mins when another customer came in and ordered a chicken to go. Within 10 mins the gentleman received his order and left. Already annoyed I get up and ask the cashier for my order and she says another 10 minutes. I would never come back here to wait 40 mins for a simple order. Thank god I didn't order sides otherwise I would be waiting until tomorrow. Side note: A customer came in. He had placed an order over the phone. When he came in to pick up he was told it would be another 20 mins. This is unacceptable. The restaurant wasn't crowded with people. Point of the story. Don't come here unless you want to waste time. read more

This is a fairly good restaurant that deserves all stars. Come in on a Saturday afternoon. Nice bright windows in the front with plenty of nice light going into the tables. Location was pretty good by the train but came in by car because was raining. Ordered the chunks of beef with onions tomatoes French fries mixed together. On the side I got beans and a drink. The food was great and plenty. Very yummy. Simple restaurant for your daily and casual dining. This isn't a luxurious place but for its category deserves all of the ratings for the great thing I came in here for: good food with a reasonable price. And because it exceeded my expectations this is a 5 star restaurant. read more

I've been getting food from here for a while it's usaulltv amazing but it has gotten worse over time !! It Usually takes forever for the food to arrive or they send a really nice older man that gets lost. Today was terrible and I think the last time I'll order here my rice arrived to my house the container was crushed soft and wet due to the steam from the food. They nice enough to replace the rice but they need to reconsider different to go containers going forward. read more

I have been eating takeout from this spot for a couple of months now....and I need to write a review on it. I get take out at work and never have been to the physical location. I will go and check it out and update this review accordingly. The reason for my love with this place is two-fold.... 1. The chicken fried rice. 2.The Green sauce. Now you might be wondering....what qualifies James as an expert on these matters? I have personally eaten this type of food for years now...on top of that, I have also sampled food from every Peruvian spot within miles radius of my job for years now. And I mean...every spot. lol While they were all good for their own reasons....Armandos got me and my co workers hooked. We order from here 2 or 3 times a week lately. I also have eaten tons of fried rice from different restaurants representing different parts of the world. (I should get a list going of best fried rice spots.) The Chicken Fried Rice is some of the best Fried Rice that I have had.....hands down. Plenty of huge pieces of chicken with a little bit of chives. Add the Green Sauce to it and you will fall in love like I did. I crave it at times randomly ..... and I think that you will too. Next I will dine in and maybe meet the man himself.....Armando! lol read more

Came here for the first time and will definitely be back again! Such delicious Peruvian food!! Ordered breaded chicken with rice and half roasted chicken with my favorite maduros, yummm read more

Unfortunately food was not good. Green spaghetti with steak was barely passable. Green sauce in the pasta tasted strange, like some unknown ingredient was added. Steak was small but ok. Papa a la huancaína was just bad and they neglected to add the boiled sliced eggs to it! Heresy for that dish! Yellow sauce was watery tasteless and barely yellow and for $7??!! No good. Best thing was the aji verde (Green sauce). The spot i usually get my Peruvian food fix is almost a block away but it's been closed lately for some reason. Fortunately for me being that is was my birthday, my big sister from Brooklyn unknowingly to me cooked for me and saved the day!!!Well my search for decent Peruvian cuisine continues! Chimpum Callao!!! read more

Love the food here. Always hits the spot. I could eat it every night. So far I've eaten the chicken, rice and beans, the ceviche is excellent, chicken Chuafa (chicken fried rice) and the jalea. Salchipapas also very tasty. read more

I come here for the chicken, unfortunately you have to come on The Weeknd's when it's busy cause you'll get a fresh chicken. When you come during the week you can tell it's overnight chicken because the wing is very hard to chew on. If they were to keep it fresh all the way. I would have given them the 5 stars. read more

Wanted to try something different. The restaurant looked very appealing from the inside and out. The service was great. I forgot the name of my dish but it was basically noodles with pieces of steak. I wasnt to fond of it. The dish was rather salty and bland. Also had mango milkshake which was pretty decent. read more

I been to the one on Howard beach great but this one is the original bigger complex more modern has a bar the owner is a nice guy gave me a glass of wine waiting on my pick up order The chicken great The yuka fries , plantains sweet or fried with green sauce on the side great selections to choose from read more

So This has quickly become my go to. The way I ended up here is pretty funny. There was road construction or something and the only streets I could take led me to here. I had to pick up dinner and saw this while waiting at the light and decided to try it. I love Peruvian food. Anywho, I picked up chicken, rice, and beans, the usual. My bf and I loved it! The green sauce is spicy and creamy, I think we just love this place for the green sauce honestly. Since then we keep having cravings for this place and have been back quite a few times. We've done sit in and take out. Sit in, the place is nice, pretty average. Waiters friendly. Pretty good prices too. One downside, the beans, its more runny and watery, I don't mind it too much but if you like you're beans differently, just keep that in mind. Also, When doing take out, you get like one container of green sauce and it's 25cents for more. I don't mind paying more bc we honestly loveeeee their green sauce, but idk maybe they should give at least two or three minimum. Will be back for sure. KEEP MAKING THAT AAAMAZING GREEN SAUCE. read more

Food is really good BUT as others have mentioned, the service is really terrible! The owners should really hire more English speakers. I feel like they only cater to the Hispanic community. I remember recently I made 2 orders for delivery and while placing my order I had to repeat myself 3 times! And guess what?! They got my order wrong!!!! Like completely wrong. Lol. The funniest part of the whole situation is that I had to repeat myself because the person was talking to someone else while attempting to take my order. The service when you go is bad too, maybe because of the area? This place has potential to be a really awesome joint, if only the owners would pay attention to the bad customer service.... read more

I cant believe I lived in this neighborhood for over 10 years and last night was first time i actually dine in. The restaurant is clean and plenty of space. It was not crowded which is surprising considering how great food was. We ordered ceviche, grilled fish rice and beens, seafood rice, and half chicken french fries. All orders were plentiful and delicious. I enjoyed a bit from all orders. When you visit dont forget the red sangria. First impression is "where are the fruits". Dont let that bother you. It was best sangria ive ever had. I had two cups and i felt very nice! ;). Large cup, no ice strong and its only 4 dollars. U cant beat that! The price is right. We all ate well had few sangrias and it all came out for 75 dollars. The bill included tax and gratuity. I recommend visiting this restaurant. Only thing negative i can add to this review is that the waitress were not as attentive to customers. They were not bad , just not as attentive as i would have liked. read more

Love this place. First restaurant the we ordered from when we moved to Richmond Hill, and we order at least once a month! We always do pickup/delivery, we've never actually gone and sat inside. We usually order the combo #2. A whole chicken, rice, beans, hot dog & french fries, green plantains, and an avocado salad. So much food that it's enough for dinner one day and the next. Some times we replace the green plantains for sweet, and we've almost never had a problem with it. We have recently tried different appetizers each time - the cow heart was really good, and the Papa A La Huancaina and fried yucas were tasty too. One or two times they have messed up/forgotten parts of our order when they've delivered it, but always have fixed it no problem. Food is delicious, and we'll be ordering from here until we move! read more

Great place! Just found it thanks to Yelp as I was driving home with the kids. People are incredibly nice, friendly and warm. Unlike many other places where they sometimes snub non-latino customers. Service took a little while but hey they were busy and I want fresh food so I'm not complaining in the least. Took food home. Food still tasted great after a twenty minute drive. - Chicken was excellent! Juicy and tasty! - Fried Yucas (as suggested by other Yelpers) was great and the garlic dipping sauce was perfect for them! I picked size SMALL and the order was enough for all of us to try and enjoy (family of four). - Tostones were good too but cooked slightly more well then I would of wanted. Still tasted great and the same garlic dressing dipping sauce made them fun to chow down also. I suggest getting the SMALL because we ordered a Large and there was still about half an order left when we were full and finished. And I haven't figured out a way to successfully reheat tostones so they had to get tossed. - Yellow Rice was good too. I like the peas and small carrots and such in there. It might of been slightly dry but slathering it with green sauce made me eat way more then I should of. - Green Sauce was very tasty and excellent on the chicken and rice. It is a little less hotter then the spicier counterparts out there but had a great fresh mild spicy taste with the thick consistency that I like. Another thing I really liked about Pollo Rico was the price was lower then the other Pollo spots. The extra green sauce alone, which others Pollo spots are now charging offensive prices for extras, was a very fair 4 for $1 extra at Pollo Rico. Definitely worth a try. read more

The food is beyond delicious...however the service is what makes this place get only 4 stars. I typically get a chicken combo and share with my fiancé..the combo #2 is plenty for the both of us and we have plenty of left over for our lunch the next day. The green sauce is just the right amount of spice and goes with every dish on the menu ! I highly recommend this restaurant and I will keep coming. read more

If I could leave a review with less than one star, I would! I don't mind paying for good food, but this place has high prices and low quality food. Even lower quality customer service. I'm disgusted with this place. There are plenty of better food options around. Don't waste your money here!! read more

This is an excellent restaurant. I live quite close and order from them often. My favorites are the whole chicken with the green sauce, yellow rice and beans, the avocado salad and chicken soup. It's always delicious, they're very friendly on the phone, deliver quickly, and the delivery person is always very pleasant even when the weather isn't very nice. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area. read more

Most of their food is salty (chicken, beans, fish,..). That's why I give a 3 stars. However, they do have the best maduros (sweet plantains) and tostones (plantains) in this neighborhood. They are not too soggy not too salty. read more

Great food, great service; every time I place an order for pickup, it's usually waiting for me with a smile. The lunch special is the best deal in town; 1/4 Chicken breast, fries or rice, soup or salad (GET THE SOUP) plus a 12oz beverage for $6.80 (tax included) I've also had a sit down meal & had a very positive experience. The only suggestions would be to 1) Paint the place & redo the bathrooms & 2) The special Peruvian sauce should be green, not yellow (maybe too much mayo) This place is in my top five in the neighborhood! read more

This is a very humble restaurant. My family and I order from here on the busy days when there is not enough time to make dinner at home. The food is fresh and the maduros are great! Try the rotisserie chicken too. Delivery could be quicker and servers a bit more welcoming but besides that it is a great choice for a classic Peruvian dinner. read more

Great Peruvian & Spanish food served fast by stunning & smiling staff; they have a great lunch special that ends at 4pm M-F Delicious soups and don't forget the special "green sauce" that enhances all their dishes. They are right on the corner of 110 street & Jamaica Ave where parking is usually available. Enjoy!! read more
