This place is a great Peruvian restaurant!! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. I absolutely loved everything about the camarones al ajillo and could mix the sauce/marinade on everything on the place. Nothing we had was bad and I would recommend trying this place out. The service was great and so was the music. read more

I really love Chick-O-Rico the food is always flavorful, and I've had great experiences here before. This is my second review because I was disappointed with my visit today. I placed an online order at 1:27 PM, with an estimated pickup time of 1:55 PM. I arrived at 2:10 PM, expecting the food to be ready, especially since I was on my lunch break. Unfortunately, my food was just being prepared when I got there. As someone who works during the day, I order online specifically to avoid delays. While I've met the owner before and found them very kind, there was no apology or acknowledgment for the delay it was handled like this was completely normal. I still enjoy this place and want to support it, but I hope they can tighten up the online ordering process and communicate better during delays. Time matters, especially during a workday especially when the establishment was not busy at all. read more

For a while I've wanted to try this spot as I drive by the area regularly. It's South American Latin food. The location is great with comfortable outdoor seating when the weather permits and the decor inside is very welcoming too with a Latin charm to it. The beef empanada was good but a tad salty. Frankly both dishes I tried were a tad salty. Even though I didn't have the blown away experience that I had hoped for I'd definitely give the restaurant a second try. Maybe for the rotisserie chicken next time. I've had really great Latin food before so I won't give up on this spot just yet. read more

We had the Paradilla Chick o Rico platter for 2. Came with 2 sides. We got plántanos and house salad (which was very good and enough for 2. I loved the grilled steak and chorizo and my hubby liked the grilled chicken and black sausage and skirt steak. Anyway,we had plenty of food to take home after we finished our lunch every single item on the platter for 2 was super and it is my hubby's favorite restaurant now. read more

Chick-O-Rico - Paradilla Chick o Rico for two - Colombian Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love coming to this restaurant. We've been here twice now. It is always a great experience trying Peruvian foods. The quality of the food is perfect. Service is amazing and attentive. The last time I had Mojarra Frita (fried tilapia) and much to my surprise it was the WHOLE fish. Once I got the hang of it, it was so much fun to eat. The plantain dishes are to die for. Prices are very fair. This is one of our favorite new restaurants and hope to make it back very soon! read more

I have been searching for a Peruvian restaurant with good food since relocating from High Point, NC, to Charlotte. I discovered this spot and decided to give it a try. Upon entering, I immediately decided not to dine in because it was too hot inside. They were having AC issues. In fact, they were installing portable units when I arrived. The outside of the restaurant had a decent look, and the inside was ok. I found the music too loud for my taste. I was greeted by the hostess, who was very pleasant and welcoming. I ordered the Arroz Chaufa, a Peruvian-style stir-fried rice with chicken, egg, scallions, and plantains, but I had them add steak to it. I did not care for their food. It smelled delicious, but it wasn't good enough for me to want to go back there again. I cannot say that others should not try it, but compared to other Peruvian restaurants I've eaten at, I can't go back there. read more

A Peruvian and Colombian restaurant. The food and service here are amazing! The interior space is humongous and the interior design is inspired by architecture of Barranquilla, Colombia. Tucked in the corner of a large shopping center is this gem. There is plenty of parking and is accessible from two sides. There is a lovely outdoor seating area if it is a nice day. It is like you are being transported to South America after your first bite, taste like a home cooked meal. Everything is fresh and made to order. The rotisserie chicken was my favorite with the house sauces. The food is truly authentic with a lot of their menu items you cannot get from anywhere else in the area. The prices are fair as well and they have daily specials every day of the week. Highly recommend Chick-O-Rico if you are looking for some Colombian or Peruvian food. read more

Yummy yum yums. We stopped in for lunch and man was this place a delightful find. We started with empanadas: one chicken and one beef. These were different because they were a cornmeal pastry rather than a fried, flour based empanada pastry. DELICIOUS. My husband got the 1/4 chicken with the fried rice side and plantains. The rice was incredible. I got a salad topped with Peruvian chicken and avocado slices with a light, green dressing that was happiness making. They have a beef heart appetizer (unfortunately they were out today) that my husband has been searching for forever. The restaurant is light and airy and charming. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. It's taken us a while to try this place but it will now be on the rotation. If you haven't been, give it a go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food and service. Love the lomo saltado. Brought the food out pretty quick and together.

This was a random lunch try but I left with knowing that I will definitely be a regular. First of all my service was amazing. Clarena was super informative and so helpful! She gave me a sample of their complementary juices, which I ended up going with the chichi Miranda and she also gave me a complementary piece of chicken because I was super confused on what to try if I could try the whole menu I would lol. But it definitely gives me a reason to go back. For my entrée I ended up getting the beef skirt steak with the rice egg and Yuka fries as well as the sweet plantains. Everything about this meal was so good. The steak came with a chimichurri sauce that I did not even need because the steak itself was seasoned so well and it was cooked wonderfully. I cut it with a freaking butter knife. That's how tender it was.! The sides were nice as well especially the plantains they were sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet which is how I like them. I am definitely going back! read more

This is the second time I've eaten here! Great food and great service. Much better than other local competitors. The guacamole isn't on the menu but they made it special for me.

It's the real deal and I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Really good Peruvian and Colombian chicken. Best I've had in the area in the last four years! Flavorful yet not spicy. The beans are my favorite! The yuca could be better. Some of it was very hard to chew and stringy. Chicken was very good. And the sauces are top notch. Plantains good too! Skirt steak was all right. read more

This place was so good! My husband and I did the meal for two and had plenty leftover to take home. They have chicken tenders for picky kids, which my little one ate and loved. The staff is friendly and the food came out quickly. I will definitely be back. read more

The chicken at Chick-O-Rico literally melts in your mouth like butter! The staff is super friendly and attentive. I cannot wait to go back and try even more menu items. I don't even have any pictures to share because I tore down that food so fast. The white rice was extremely good as well and I usually don't enjoy white rice at all. The steak was good and the portions are good. The atmosphere reminded me of a nice restaurant in NYC where it's welcoming to come eat alone, a couple or a group of friends. The coffee was so good, I wanted to swim in it. I will definitely be back. read more

Coming from a region with a lot of Peruvian Pollo A La Brasa options, we've been on a hunt to find places like that in Charlotte! We stumbled upon this place right around dinner time and decided to try it even though it was pretty empty. Food was well seasoned and piping hot! Portions for French fries are HUGE and their sauces are pretty good! The staff was a delight and the younger gentleman that rang us up and took our order was so kind and would come check on us to see if we needed anything throughout the meal! Wish it wasn't so far but we will definitely be back when we are in that side of 485! read more
