I must say, there have been many a few lomo saltados that have struck my pallet they way Don pollo has. When ever I'm in a new city or town I am quick to try the local pollo a la brasa to really find a competitor, to be honest none compares hands down. Or should I say "wings"¿ read more

Peruvian chicken at it's finest. Better than crispy and juicy or any other "Peruvian chicken". This chicken is full of flavor and spice. I am always craving this chicken because it's just that good! You can never go wrong when eating here. It isn't expensive either, good price for good food, win win! read more

this place is great and needs more recognition! the chicken is juicy, flavorful, and really well seasoned! the green aji sauce is spicy and full of flavor and the yellow sauce is creamy and slightly sweet! also the sides are solid - fried yuca, rice and beans, coleslaw all very good! read more

Good chicken! Their sauce is great, haven't been able to find a good chicken place like this one out in California. Moco peeps, don't take this place for granted ;) read more

Why the star change, well it's for consistency, at 11 when you open chicken is hot, juicy, tender and delicious...yup, now at 2 it's hot and dry. So are you saying I can only get moist juicy chicken at peak times, cause that's what I've been getting lately and I can't mess with you like that. So what's my answer to this cause I've loved your chicken so much.....so why do you do me like this is all I'm sayin...... read more

The taste they gave the chicken is the best I've ever had. The sauce they make is also amazing. That's the only thing I get because it's just so good but I guess if I went more I often I might get tired and try other menu items. I like la yuca too. read more

I feel like this place is my little secret. It's in the Twinbrook shopping center and looks non-descript, but it's my favorite place to stop in when I'm hungry and want some cheap, savory food. The atmosphere is quite blah. However, their chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the portions are always generous without being too much. I always get yuca and black beans as a side. Love this place! read more

Noms. I don't even like chicken but its so good here. I work down the street from it and while most people go to la brasa my friend made me come here and I'm not looking back. It gets packed at lunch and now I see why. I crave this place every day when I look at my boring 'home' lunch. read more

OMG their dark meat chicken is the best. Choose the corn pico as one of your sides. So good.

This place is awesome!! The meal deal for the whole chicken and two sides is pretty awesome and the food is oh so good. We picked up some tonight since we were on that side of town and it made for an awesome take home meal. This is definitely our new go to chicken place. read more

Best chicken in the dc area!!!!! Crispy, and juicy! Don't forget the green sauce.

I just live around the area and the day come for me to walk and explore around got hungry and stop by in Don pollo.. OMG! I can't believe what I'm missing.. Why just now? Those are the few question pop up in my mind the moment I had a bite of there chicken. It was the best I order 1/4 Dark with yuca and Mac cheese on the side and I end up ordering another one to go. read more

Chicken was so tender it just fell a part. Along with it ordered plantain and yuca. Plantain was little burned and soggy but yuca was the best. Loved it read more

Every time I'm in the area and I'm craving chicken this is my go to spot! The chicken is so juicy and seasoned to perfection! when combined with fries and that yellow sauce my mouth is in food heaven! read more

Best Peruvian chicken in the area!!! Their sauces are on point. Once they did not complete my order and forgot my side of chicken fried rice but I saw that I was never charged for it so they must've just misheard me. No big deal. read more

I catered food for my company holiday party from here & everything was super delish. Veronica the manager was very helpful in making sure everything was done properly and delivered at the time that I needed. I will definitely be ordering from them again for my next events read more

I had never really tried Peruvian Chicken before Don Pollo and let me tell you this place is awesome. The chicken is just so tasty. Since trying Don Pollo I use this as my standard for Peruvian Chicken. I tried Super Chicken in Falls Church. And Don Pollos is so much better. Their green sauce and the other one are so good. The price is great too. A whole chicken and two sides for under $16 is great. The only draw back is I live in Virginia and they do not have a Don Pollo there. This place is the bomb read more

Don Pollo only has one main dish. It's Peruvian Chicken, and the absolute best Peruvian Chicken I've ever had, although, admittedly, I've never been to Peru. I've eaten at Pollo countless times and tried both light and dark meat - both are juicy and flavorful. Usually I get a quarter chicken, which comes with two sides. The rice and beans, plantains, and mac and cheese are my defaults. I usually think of rice and beans as unimpressive filler, but Pollo's rice and beans are flavorful, with a slight punch most other dishes of the sort lack. I have all I can do to finish, but if you're super hungry, you can probably power through the half chicken. The price is great - about $7-10 for a nice warm meal. There are cafeteria style tables and a few TVs with soccer, so you can either sit down and devour your dish, or take it to go. read more

The chicken is the best I've had (maybe pollo rico) yuca fries are great...everything else is ok.

I think I have eaten there a hundred times the past few years. Food is always good and served fairly fast.

I came after a friend recommend it. I was not satisfied with the food maybe because I came late night right before they closed either way the sides that I got sucked Mac and cheese and rice and beans the rice was water and soggy. I was not a fan and the Mac and cheese was not good too water down. I'm still trying to find a place with good Mac and cheese. The chicken was alright but when that's standard the sides really have to be good. I'll come earlier next time and then if it's still not good never again. P.S they have two Tv's I'll take more pictures next time. read more

Don Pollo - Latin American Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I accidentally posted a review meant for another business on this page. So this is my official review of Don Pollo. I love this place. It's my go to place for peruvian chicken. The chicken is good and well seasoned. There has been a few times when, I have not been completely satisfied with my order, mainly with an under seasoned chicken. However, there are far and few in between so I keep coming back because more often than not, they're really great at what they do. The only downside is the price surge. They have raised their price twice now in the past year, kind of annoying. One of the reasons I loved this place so much was because of the great food at a cheaper price. Dont get me wrong it's still reasonable but I just hope they don't ruin everything by constantly raising their prices. read more

This chicken is the best... We were having a Holiday party and the manager himself offered to deliver the food.

10x better than crisp and juicy. Chicken is cooked to perfection AND great the next day. Best part is there is no wait! Just walk-in, order and your food is ready in less than 3 minutes. It's great. read more

Must try!!!!! This Don pollo has the best chicken. Lots of food. Good sauces. Must try...must try!!!!!!. I don't need to write anymore. You won't be disappointed. I wish I could eat here everyday. read more

Best food in that whole shopping mall. Super fast and cheap too. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for good Peruvian food

black beans and rice are the best I have tasted anywhere! the chicken is perfect! The white meat is juicy! I love the mild sauce however I gave a four because I've had other white sauces I have enjoyed a bit more! read more

This place is the best Peruvian Chicken Ive ever had, me and a couple guys from work come here at least 2-3times a week for lunch haha, the chicken is always great hot and seasoning is so good, I always get a quarter piece of white and you get 2 sides with that, Ive tried the fried yuca,fries,mac and cheese,house salad,and the fried plantain's and they have all been good there's more choices but I fear change lol. The price is pretty decent for about $8-$10 with a drink, they also offer a quarter dark and half of white or dark both with 2 sides, they have bigger options like whole chicken and big feast to order. Not a fancy place like people say just some place to eat, they have 2 TVs on each side of the store usually soccer or ESPN on and they play good music not to loud. I love this place haha. read more

Good juicy chicken and huge side dishes! The food is extremely inexpensive. My family of 4 ate for under $24 and had enough food for at least 2 more people. The chicken was much larger than a rotisserie you might get at a local grocery store. I defiantly recommend this place if you are looking for a simple inexpensive meal to feed a crowd. read more

I'm not a pro in Latin chicken flavor but this place is great especially if it's to go seating I don't think that good of an idea.

Their chicken is definitely well seasoned all the time, which makes it delicious. I always order a quarter combo every time I am around. Their veggies are quite fresh, and other choices are not so bad either. As always, you can smell the strong coal grilled chicken smoke yards away from the restaurant just like other Peruvian grill chicken restaurants, yet their grilled chicken also tastes great. However, in my opinion, the price is slightly higher than other Peruvian grilled chicken restaurant. read more

Love the chicken here...has the right taste (unlike Sardis). I really enjoy the cucumber salad n slaw.

Have only had one occasion where the food wasn't good and it was right before they closed. Definitely one of the best peruvian chicken shops in the dc area. read more

I have been here only twice; once by myself. I've had the rotisserie chicken and a few of the sides. The chicken was very good, but the white meat a bit dry. I tend to eat MoCo-late, though - After 20:30. Rice and beans very nice, fries from under the heat lamp, mac and cheese decent. read more

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! UMMMMMMM Goooood! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! UMMMMMMM Real Gooood! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! I'm in chard heaven don't bug me right now.... Oh sorry folks but that's some tasty chicken if you haven't been here before than what teh hayale ya waiting for? Get there eat there you won't be disappointed 'cept if you expect to dine in then that's a problem cause this place is a tiny eat and go type of better than fast food place. All seats are filled all the time. Which is too bad cause this type of chicken is best fresh off the flames. It's moist juicy with nice skin and more than likely dry out too much when reheated or get rubbery when nuked in the microwave. Don't do it! Eat it there, don't care if you have to eat standing up but eat it when you first get it that's the best way to enjoy this truly tasty poultry. The yuca is a bit meh though but still pretty decent. The Twinbrook Center might be a little dingy and congested at times with some uh... interesting people hanging around but don't let that dissuade you get there NOW!!! Okay then going back to my pollo. CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! BA CHEWY CHOMP! read more

I lift heavy weights as a hobby, So, it requires me to eat a certain amount a food. I go to this place minimum 4 to 6 times a week. So, I'm a regular customer. Today, as usual, I made my order by phone saying "Please reserve me a 1 whole chicken dark meat, and Well Done". Again at the cashier, I repeated my order (because I noticed before even get there something is not right. I'm very familiar with their voice and tone because I go there often). I knew I was right when I looked at his face(looked guilty). Then the cashier said, "yeah yeah sure". After getting home, I opened it, and It was not what I asked for. Also, I doubted him in the second place when he charged me $12.87 instead of $13.87. Please do yourself a favour, and don't cheat to your own customers. That's not ethical. Without our support, you won't have a business, and don't forget karma is very dangerous, if you believe in it. He could have said they don't have dark meat. That could have saved me time, distance I traveled, and my loyalty to Don Pollo. If the owner/ Owners are reading this, please be aware of those silly mistakes you fail to avoid will cost you more in the long run. read more

this is don pollo honestly it is so good much chicken wow i had mac & cheese and plantains and corn pico and mashed potatoes and whole chicken so much chicken many chickens chicken chicken chicken chicken read more

I love, love, LOVE Don Pollo. Peruvian chicken is one of my favorite dishes and I think Don Pollo does it best. It's almost always crowded when I come here which I think is a good sign. I probably come here 1-2 times a month and usually get Don Pollo to celebrate any special occasions. I read some other reviews and some people found the chicken dry?? I've never had that experience- the chicken has always been moist and flavorful, even if you're like me and don't eat the skin. Also, if you're like me and love spicy food, I think they have the best green sauce. I've tried many green sauces over the years and have tried to make my own, but theirs is the best and keeps me coming back. read more

So delicious! Already can't wait to go back! Yuca, mashed potatoes and fries are amazing and the chicken is the best I've ever had. Highly recommend! Also very affordable. read more
