I've lived nearby for years and have been meaning to check out Campesino Chicken. With Uptown Cafe closed on Sundays, I finally popped in. I got the quarter chicken (white meat) with fried rice and pinto beans. While the chicken could have had crispier skin and been a little juicier, it was still a very tasty and satisfying meal. When I return, I'll try the cilantro rice and get a side of ceviche. Service was quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, it's on par with the majority of Peruvian chicken joints I've been to, but I don't mean that as a dig. I'm planning on retiring sooner than later! read more

Ordered the chicken bowl - not the best decision. Sour cream was the only sauce - swimming in it along with cheese. I like my bowls bit more healthy, some salsa would have added nice tang, freshness. So Plan B, scrape off sour cream and dump in green sauce - ah much better. Oh well my fault, should have read description more closely or just stuck what they do well - whole pit chicken. read more

I believe a long time ago, the restaurant used to be a chipotle and you can still tell by the layout of their food offerings and the middle island for their drinks and utensils. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has some seating inside but definitely more like a fast food/ take out restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker was really nice and when we wanted to know what drinks they had cycling in the back they even offered us some free samples since we weren't familiar with what it might taste like! 1/4 dark pollo chicken - really nicely seasoned skin on the chicken and juicy dark meat. the portion is a bit small. 3.5/5 Fried plantain - love the seared bits which was pretty distinctive to the rest of the plaintain. cooked so perfectly and very sweet 3.5/5 Roasted potatoes - nicely seasoned but bettter when dipped with a little salt/ ketchup. Cooked super nicely with every single potato being soft and fluffy all the way through. 3.25/5 arroz chaufa - they make this fresh when you order it! you do have to wait a few minutes for them to fry the rice and combine the chicken and steak but means you get a nice very hot fried rice. most of the steak and chicken was good and flavorful but I did have a few random pieces of steak that were a bit too chewy. The rice was fried very nicely where you can taste each grain and the dish is pretty flavorful. they do give you a lot though and by the mid/end it got a bit boring. 3.5/5 read more

I purchased carryout for lunch. The chicken was delicious. The side of fried rice was very good with several big pieces of chicken. The potatoes were also good. I had been thinking of pizza or a deli sandwich for lunch, but the chicken from Campesino was a fresh and healthy alternative. We found a new and healthy alternative to pizza and fried chicken. The service was a little slow because of the lunch crowd and the fact that the chicken is cut up after you order it - it has not been setting in a big tray somewhere or drying out under a heat lamp. I definitely plan to go back. Campesino is a great place for delicious food with less calories than the alternatives. read more

This restaurant is a pretty solid Peruvian Chicken place! I have tried other places where the chicken can be dry, but this chicken was tender, moist, and flavorful. I have had better yucca in other places before but this place does it decent. I just wish the inside of the yucca was more fluffy. I like how this place is nearby and is affordable so I will probably come back next to get my chicken fix. read more

I don't think I've ever had Peruvian chicken that disappointed and Campesino is no exception. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is nice with some seating, but it seems most people order for takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The process of ordering and receiving my food was pretty quick, I was in there for maybe 10 minutes. I ordered a whole chicken with two large sides (yucca and cilantro rice) to go. This totaled to around $28 after tax. The chicken was well-seasoned and perfectly cooked all around, and the chicken breast wasn't dry at all. The yucca was fresh, hot, and crispy. The cilantro rice was cooked well and lightly flavored. You get all three sauces with your order, all of which were delicious (the green one is the only spicy one). read more

We stopped in for a late lunch, after running errands. We both got the lunch sized chicken bowl. It was great! $14. The lettuce was fresh. Beans and rice were savory. A decent amount of chicken for protein. We will go back again and try some other items from their menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice informal ambiance. Cheerful and open[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Service was okay, a tad slow because we were the only people there. read more

Not bad but had mixed review. I got the chicken...definitely the standout item here...but also got the lomo saltido which was tough and also dry. Wouldn't recommend it. Black beans are excellent as are the yucca fries. Service is generally quick and they have Inca Cola so a big plus for me. read more

Very impressed with the quality of the Peruvian chicken and all of the sides. We got a whole chicken, 4 large sides, and a 2-liter Inca cola for $38 out the door. Green sauce is the spiciest I have ever had. Chaufa fried rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. Everything taste fresh. The fried yuca is made fresh. Western Fairfax, you're welcome! read more

They make the yucca FRESH!!! The yucca is very generous portion. Chicken was very juicy. We fed a lot of people. Got the 2 whole chicken, 4 sides, and 1 litter of soda for 50$. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We ordered the whole chicken with four sides. I asked for extra ketchup and "white sauce". We did not get any ketchup and only 4 small portions of the white sauce. We got the four sides. but instead of the roasted potatoes they sent mushy broccoli which was very soft and had no taste. The chicken was ok but was cold. The fried rice did not have very much flavor. We will not be a returning customer. Disappointed. read more

Yum! We were in the area and spotted Campesino Chicken. Took out our trusty Yelp app and it's Yelp Fam approved so we definitely had to check it out. Plenty of indoor seating is available. The restaurant is clean and organized. Employees are friendly and incredibly helpful. Our takeout order was ready in no time. Everything was neatly wrapped. Their chicken is delicious, well seasoned. Their homemade sauces are excellent and go well with almost everything. Side dishes are flavorful. Some faves were their Chaufa Rice, Fries, and Platanitos. They have some awesome specials, that include a whole chicken, 4 large sides, and a 2 Liter drink. Portions are generous and the price is right. We will be back! read more

Great flavor. One chicken was quite dry, the other great. Yuca fries seemed stale and very dried out. Horchata was good. read more

Campesino Chicken - 1/2 Pollo White Chicken combo with yuca fries and Platanitos - Peruvian Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

My husband and I ordered take out. The food was insane. I did my research on selecting a Peruvian chicken restaurant and that work delivered. Not only is the food reasonably priced, but it's absolutely delicious. The chicken on its own is delicious and so flavorful. This is not your average rotisserie chicken, so those that complained about the price, clearly haven't had a Giant rotisserie chicken, Wegmans or Costco lately. I ordered the 1/4 dark, which came with two sides and my husband ordered the chicken and cheese sub, which came with fries. I went with black beans and cilantro rice and they were both wonderful. Normally, I am a huge sauce fan, but this food didn't even need sauce. Though, I have to say, the yellow and pink sauces, did deliver. We will 100% be back for another round of this amazing food! read more

The quality of the chicken and sides have been consistently good. The portion and the price are just right. Haven't really dined in but the place has ample seating and looks clean. Service is always friendly and helpful. Really good option for a rotisserie chicken dinner for the family. Keep it up! read more

Tried this place for the first time today. It is located a few stores away from one of my favorite Thai joints, Ocha Thai Kitchen & Cuisine. I ordered a 1/2 Pollo Regular with two sides to go. The chicken was very tasty although it was not "hot out of the oven" hot. The two sides, broccoli and plantanitos were also very good. I will definitely go back there soon. read more

Happened to be in Centreville and stopped by... Chicken here is actually very good and this is coming from someone who eats a lot of rotisserie chicken They couldn't do a half or whole chicken dark meat only, which is the reason for the 4 stars read more

Their Peruvian chicken is our go to food. The Philly cheesesteak is also good. We usually get to-go.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD! Ordered a half chicken and only got 2 pieces...what sense does that make? very disappointed, definitely check you food before you leave read more

This is the best Peruvian Chicken we've ever had. We usually order the chicken burrito with a whole chicken for later. It is delicious. The fries have always been good and never soggy or stale so we always finish eating them. Their sauce have never disappointed us - it's never watered down like other places. The chicken is season so well!. I can't compare it to any other place. Lol We have eaten here 3 times a week before. We love it. read more

Tried for the first time for dinner .. I was the only customer there. While looking through their food display, first thing I noticed were gnats flying around and on the food. So avoided anything sitting on the bar. Ordered their Peruvian chicken and some freshly cooked fries. Took it home to try and was so disappointed. The chicken was extremely dry :( I will have to try it again some other time when they have the gnats under control ... and I will probably need to go earlier in the day instead of the evening so I can get fresh food I guess. read more

If you are looking for delicious Peruvian food then you need to check out Campesino Chicken. We tried the lomo saltado and Pollo saltado and both were very tasty. The steak had good flavor and was very tender. My chicken was also nice and moist. Very good size portions and they give you three sauces which are all delicious too!! The aesthetic inside the restaurant is very welcoming and colorful. It's more of a quick grab type of place. Will return to try more food off the menu. read more

Campesino Chicken - Pollo saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Disclaimers: My husband did the ordering, we ordered take out. (I usually look at a menu but we were looking for a quick fix at a new place. And I think food tastes better dine-in) We got a whole chicken, yucca fries, and pinto beans. The seasoning on the chicken was amazing. I didn't need any of the sauces (and I love sauce). The white meat was ALMOST dry, so if you're afraid of dry meat, stick to dark meat. They offer 3 sauces, all mayo-based. The red one is probably tomatoy (tastes like fresh tomato, not ketchup or tomato paste), yellow is mustardy, and the green is herbs. I wish the green sauce was more spicy, other places the green sauce is usually the spicy one. The yucca fries probably taste best dine-in. The steam from the fresh fries took away the crunch. And they were a bit dry. Pinto beans were good, nothing noteworthy. read more

If you love Crisp & Juicy in DC, try Campesino when you're in Centreville! My favorite is the dark meat plate with choice of two sides. I also like the pink sauce that comes with the chicken. For sides I like getting rice and a vegetable. I love to try their fruit juices, made with fruits from South America. Campesino always hits the spot! read more

I got the quarter white meat chicken. The counterperson provided excellent service. She gave me a sample of the salsa criollo in addition to the two sides included. The chicken was very moist and tender. It needed the green salsa to bring out the flavor. The arroz chaufa (fried rice) was very good and very generous. The side salad was very fresh. read more

Great Peruvian chicken place. This was our first visit to this place, they have more side options than super chicken. We had the whole chicken with coriander rice, broccoli and roasted potatoes. The place felt clean and we enjoyed our food and the sauces provided, will definitely be back to try out their other sides. read more

As a Peruvian myself, this is actually hands-down one of the best places to get real Peruvian chicken in Nova. It's not dry or seasonless like other places and the sides are great options to eat a meal with. They also have an extensive menu that includes other traditional Peruvian dishes as well as sandwiches and rice bowl that seem good to try too. Service is also pretty quick and attentive, and we eat in-shop or order for take out. read more

Mediocre at best. First time and last time ordering from there. But really to charge $5.50 for that large salad ridiculous. read more

Love Peruvian chicken. Best spot in the area is Chicken Rico in Herndon. Chicken Latino is hot garbage in centreville. Was happy when I saw there was a new spot to try. Got a quarter chicken dark with fried rice and plantains. Happy to report all 3 were really delicious! I've had better green sauce but it was still good. I'm about to go back right now and try for a second time. Hopefully it will be just as excellent. read more

Great food and serving size for the sides! Plantains are bomb!! The whole chicken is a good deal and feeds many.
