    a meal in a styrofoam container
    Aileen M.

    I needed to take a break from Sardis and the chicken here is just as good! It's located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring and is affordable and filling. They give you plenty of food so you'll definitely have some tasty leftover!

    Whole Chicken Fiesta for 4
    Sandra S.

    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.

    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.

    Special of the day (chicken fried rice)

    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.

    1/2 Chicken with 2 sides (fried yucca and mac & cheese)

    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.

    Really authentic Peruvian chix. Fast, inception, large serving. Highly recommend. Good for pick-up, dine-in, or delivery,

    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!

    Two quarter dark chicken meals one with plantains and fried rice. The other with beans and white rice and French fries.

    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.

    Fast and very fresh. The place looks brand new and is very clean. I always get the half chicken and two sides. All the suaces are tasty too.

    Great food and service, good pricing. Only downside is that the shopping center it's located in is not great.

    I was craving Peruvian chicken so much after my round of golf at the university of Maryland golf…read morecourse. As I was driving back to my place, I found this restaurant at the strip mall. I was there around 3 pm. It was not busy as it was post lunch hour. I ordered quarter dark chicken with side of fried rice and yuka fries. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Fall off the bones and very delicious. I loved the nicely roasted chicken skin as well. Fried rice was good. I have had better fried rice at other places. Yuka fried with their green spicy sauce went really well. Nice and crispy. Ambiance is alright. It's a self serve place like most of the other Peruvian restaurants. Plenty of parking space.

    Dear Chicken Loco Latin American Cuisine * Chillum,…read moreManagement, 6587 Ager road Hyattsville, MD 20782 United States +1 (301) 422-0087 I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an experience I had at one of your locations. I recently placed a family order at your restaurant, and when I was ready to pay, I was informed that there would be a $3 additional charge if I chose to pay with a credit card. I was told that if I paid in cash, I would only be charged the regular price. When I asked the cashier about this policy, she stated that the new owner had implemented this charge. I believe this kind of fee is unfair and deceptive. Customers should be clearly informed before ordering that there will be an extra charge for using a card, and this fee should be prominently displayed--if it's allowed at all. This practice feels like an attempt to squeeze extra money from customers without transparency. It comes across as dishonest and exploitative. I urge you to look into this location and ensure that all charges are properly disclosed and fair. Adding surprise fees at the register does not reflect well on your brand and damages customer trust. I would appreciate a response explaining whether this is an official company policy or a local decision, and what steps will be taken to address it.
