This chicken is amazing! We stumbled upon this restaurant when we found ourselves unexpectedly in the area for car maintenance. Thanks to Yelp reviewers for pointing us in the right direction! This location is toward the far end of the strip mall. You order at the counter, and the cashier helped make suggestions on what to order. She even gave us a free container of mixed veggies! The portions were huge and everything was delicious. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, fries were crispy, mashed potatoes creamy, veggies crisp but flavorful, and the salad was crispy. There is limited seating inside but plenty of space for the family. We order 2 quarter chicken white meat meals with two sides each for three of us and had leftovers to spare. Highly recommend! read more

Don Pollo - a meal in a styrofoam container - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Ordered Don Pollo to go as I've always wanted to try this restaurant for a while now, just never had the chance to! I ordered the fiesta for four, which comes with a whole chicken and 4 sides. For the sides I got their steak fries and their chaufa rice (fried rice). The chicken was okay, it was seasoned well, but I've had better. I loved the chaufa rice, it was absolutely delicious! The fries were okay as well, have had better. The meal comes with 2 large sauces (mild yellow and spicy green sauce). Overall the service was good, I ordered over the phone and picked up in person within 15-20 min. Compared to other locations in Wheaton where they have an array of Peruvian restaurants, this location is okay. I do like the fact that they offer fried rice. If I don't feel like driving 15 minutes to Wheaton, this is a good option that's 5 minutes away from me. read more

Don Pollo - Whole Chicken Fiesta for 4 - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Live like there'll be no tomorrow Put this in your mouth and then swallow When in Silver Spring There is only one thing To eat: chicken and sauce from Don Pollo! First there was Don Quixote, Don Corleone, and Don Henley. Now there is Don Pollo. My notes say - pretty yummy chicken, cheap, not bad at all, sauces were just fine, service friendly. Considering that it is one of the less heralded places for Peruvian chicken in the area, it was actually pretty impressive. Definitely more Salvadoran than it is Peruvian, but absolutely worth your time, and they were pretty friendly as well which was an added bonus. So if you're driving by, Pollo-ver to the side and try this out. read more

I ordered pickup on the phone and Dina took my order. i ordered my usual delicious complete chicken, plantains, cole slaw, and fries. i felt rather rushed off the phone and tried to tell her that i wanted white meat not dark before she hung up on me. Unfortunately, i didnt have time to call back to check. When it was time to pick up my order, i kindly asked if the chicken was white or dark meat but it was dark she said, she said you didn't tell me what kind of meat you wanted, rather rudely, i replied, you didnt ask, you didn't give me the time, you hung up while i was about to tell you. she replied, no i didn't - arrogantly. I told her that is absolutely not true. She continued to deny and I told her that is really not good customer service and she replied she didn't really think so because she has changed my order upon my request of change to white meat to dark meat. She acted as if she was doing me a favor and this was very degrading, especially after paying so much money. read more

We ordered this for delivery, not expecting much because the price for a whole chicken & two sides was 19.99! It was so good and juicy & way better that any Roasted Chicken I've had out here. The green spicy sauce!!! So fresh and delicious! I've never liked any sauces from sardis, so this was so nice to find because I love sauces!! Everything was seasoned perfectly We had the beans with rice and the plantains. Our new fav chicken spot read more

What a great little chicken spot! If you love rotisserie chickens with a little flair this place is for you. I have been to this plaza many times in the past for the Ross, barbershop, enterprise, and Dunkin' Donuts. But I have never tried the chicken. It was a few days before thanks so has already been to a few friendsgivings and was "turkey tired!" So I had the special of the day. The fried chicken rice. It was so good! I was surprised and the price was decent. It tasted like Chinese fried rice from budakkans in Philadelphia or PF Changs. I usually pay 15-20 for fried rice at a high end place so 8.99 was a steal. I will definitely be back in the future when I stop for my haircuts. read more

Don Pollo - Special of the day (chicken fried rice) - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Good is delicious!!! But their staffing members are RUDE! Hmmmm..... they are use to be friendly. But apparently this change :/ read more

This spot is serving meals that are quite delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly and the chicken was juicy. Perfect pricing for the portion given for takeout. I'd come again. However, I did question how sanitary their plastic utensils were. In this time of COVID-19, they left all their utensils out for customers to choose from and take. I guess I would feel a lot safer if they kept it behind the counter and gave out the utensils instead. read more

Don Pollo - 1/2 Chicken with 2 sides (fried yucca and mac & cheese) - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I have eaten here many times and have previously rated them a 4; I am sorry to say our last meal here was a 2. The chicken was old and not fresh and the sides were cold. (I ordered in and was there when the food came out and I only love 5 minutes from the restaurant.). I will have to find another place now for this kind of food. read more

Don Pollo - Chicken Rice Bowl, Chaufa con Carne - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

The usual outstanding chicken and sides. It's smaller than the other locations I've been in but was very efficient and food quality was good. read more

This place smells amazing! I got take out from here and the food was excellent! Better than Sardis and no line for the wait. I got the ceviche and the lomo saltado. The cheviche was too citrusy and the lime was over powering. The house-made sauces were wonderful and very flavorful. The ceviche came with corn nuts, shrimp, onions, calamari, and tuna. The lomo saltado was very tasty and flavorful. The meat was juicy and came with tomatoes, french fries, onions, and rice. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The tres leche for desert was sweet, very creamy, and very moist. The price was very reasonable and they have daily specials! You must come check this place out! read more

I order on Uber it and I put the wrong address so I canceled immediately and they still charged me for the food that I never get. Crazy.

Ordered these meals on Uber eats, it came really quick. The food is always delicious and not expensive. I didn't feel like cooking dinner tonight and this was the first place I thought of. I usually go in store to order and when I do the people are friendly and the food always comes out quick. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Don Pollo - Two quarter dark chicken meals one with plantains and fried rice. The other with beans and white rice and French fries. - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I had this place bookmarked for a while now and planned to try it. I was hoping to have it become one of my favorite Peruvian spots since it's so close, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The service was great, but I just didn't enjoy my meal. I ordered a half chicken (dark meat) with two sides: yuca and fried rice. The chicken tasted overcooked or reheated too many times. The yuca tasted undercooked and the fried rice was bland with very little flavor. The price was reasonable ($9.86) but I won't be back in a hurry. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION EVER! My food was so disgusting! The chicken was old and dried (dark meat) that I couldn't consume! The manager is AWFUL AND THE STAFF IS RUDE! Never ever ever go to this location! Disgusted! read more

Worst place ever, run run run away! I have order through food deliver service previously, today I was craving ceviche and my daughter order online, I went to pick up, as soon as I go inside there's a line of people waiting, the lady (whom later I discovered was the manager) scream at me "what's your name" I said "oh well hello" thank you for your service my name is Ana and my order is under so and so, she said we don't have anything for you, I pull out my cell and showed her the confirmation ticket my daughter had sent me, she scream at me, I told you we don't have anything here for you! I said well, would you please see this again, it says that it's been paid, then she said maybe it was a different location, I showed her their address, and told her that my daughter also called She said, no you guys have not called here we don't have anything for you, by this time I was furious, the lady at the cashier said "yes they called" and then they started to argue why they didn't have a ticket She then, scream at me again saying it would be a while, 15 minutes passed by the store was empty by now and I asked her what happened to my order, she completely ignored me, then in front of everyone she said that my proof was a copy and that I didn't really pay, I asked my daughter to send me a screenshot of the bank showering the $48 have been withdrew By this time I didn't want the food, I just didn't want her to keep my money, but then decided that my sanity is more valuable than $48, but before I left I told her that I am not one of her employees that she can scream at, that I wasn't gonna put up with her attitude and left read more

I love Don Pollo period. I like all their locations. Never disappointed. The only thing is I noticed that they have different sides from some of the other locations. Bethesda and Gaithersburg are the best. Both have extra side options. Otherwise everything else is consistent, especially their chicken which is the most important part! The portions are good. Prices are reasonable. They aren't shiesty with the sauces like some other establishments are. Service is good and always quick. My go to in the area. read more

Don Pollo - Peruvian Chicken Leg, Fried Yuca and Cucumber Salad - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I've had Don Pollo before, but this was my first time at this location. It's located in a shopping center off Briggs Chaney, next to the UPS Store. The inside of this location is very nice! The restaurant is very clean and tidy with a renovated/newer feel. We ordered to go, both with 1/4 white and 2 sides. It's a very affordable place for lunch or dinner! We paid around $17 for 2 meals. The chicken is amazingly tender, it practically falls of the bone. I'm a huge fan of yucca, and Don Pollo's is some of the best! I also tried their fried rice dish which was very good as well. The portions are generous, I had plenty for another left over meal later. We will definitely be back for more! read more

I loved it, but now I try to find something else. I loved loved loved the rice and beans. But 3 times the beans got less and less. They're probably saving them for their family and friends . Is there something going on with beans? read more

Delicious food (quarter chicken with two sides for about $10), super-fast and moderately friendly service, and plenty of interior seating. The interior layout is slightly odd but manageable. The ordering area is a single cashier and the takeout area is around the corner. There are fresh agua fresca beverages as well as cooler drinks. read more

Don Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Besides us getting the wrong order which was more so doordash's fault, this food was incredible. It was redelivered, hot and fresh and tasty. The chicken is seasoned so perfectly and the chaufa rice was incredible. Plantains are nice if you like that extra fruitiness. The chipotle mayo that they put in with the chicken is great. I ripped my chicken up and put it in the rice and added some sauce and it was like a Peruvian hibachi almost. read more

The plantain was inedible, overripe, and an undercooked smashed mess. Beans taste like canned. Food is pretty basic. Never again. read more

Food is okay to sometimes fresh and good. However, I experienced customer service to be rude and disrespectful. Having been there three times, the first time, I asked the cashier about available sides. She never looked at me, pointed to sign on the wall and said "they're all there." The cashier standing beside her sniggled and also offered no assistance. I went there last week and again the cashier did ask "can I help you?" but never looked at me during the entire transaction. I paid via credit card and after entering answer to the question of how much tip which was REQUIRED before transaction would complete, she gave me my receipt with no "thank you" expressed. I won't return. read more

Discovered this restaurant while car shopping in the area. It's a moderate sized restaurant with a some seating area that's good for small groups. The food is made fresh and is always warm and delicious. The portions are generous and prices are fair. I recommend the chaufa con pollo, a chicken meal and tres leches. Give it a try; you won't regret it! read more
