Every time I visit Atlanta, I make it a priority to eat here. Being from Lima, Peru, I have very high standards for Peruvian cuisine, and this place delivers every single time. The food is always incredibly fresh and entirely flavorful--it truly captures the authentic taste of home. It is easily my favorite place for Peruvian food in the city. Highly recommended read more

El Pollo D'el Rey - Lomo Saltado a lo pobre - Latin American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Picked up lunch from here and glad I did! The chicken was well seasoned and very tender without being dry at all. The salad was an unexpectedly addition. The alfajores were indulgent. I also had a maracuya drink that was fresh and a large portion. Will definitely be back! I saw many of the dishes I enjoyed in Peru on other people's tables so will have to try them! The staff was friendly despite being very busy! read more

This place I had to try. When out of my area, I like to try as many restaurants as I can, especially if they are Peruvian restaurants. This place is not fancy, but it's clean. The drawback today was that their air conditioning unit broke down, so it was a little hot inside, but the service was good although a littleslow, we tried the fish ceviche ,jalea, pollo a la brasa and picarones, every item was delicious. read more

Love the flavor of the food here. Had chicken plate. Definitely going back. Inca cola was good never had it.

This place is terrible. Ordered half a chicken with the two of us as it was recommended that this is Peru's speciality. It was old, no particular spices, fries were old and salad is just a lot of iceberg lettuce with mayo on it. For $22 ?! Makes you think there is nothing special about Peruvian food. We regret not going to Chick-fil-A. Would have been better for that money. This restaurant does Peruvian cuisine a disservice. read more

This place is very busy on the weekends and you will wait so be aware! The service of certain waitresses isn't the best. Others do better. However the food is delicious which is the reason I come back! I've tried pollo a la brasa, lomo saltado, ceviche, arroz chaufa and all of it is the best! read more

King's chicken, this is not. How can you have Chicken as part of your name and mess it up?! We ordered the half chicken meal ($17.50 is expensive) and the dark meat portion was not cooked well; it was reddish with traces of blood. We sent it back and they said they didn't have any more dark meat parts?! What?! how can you run out of chicken pieces at a fried chicken place? They brought white meat instead. There were leftover plumage pieces visible and it looked as if had been cooked hours before. Can't speak of the other dishes but we will certainly not be back or recommend this place. and then, 15% included tip. read more

The five stars are for the food and service. The restaurant itself is plain and a bit threadbare, but clean and quite. For the food, the beef heart "appetizer" will feed a small family some of the most tender and flavorful meat you've ever eaten. And the house made hot sauce, while very hot (and the owner came out to caution us!) is one of the most flavorful Peruvian pepper sauces I have ever tasted. The fried chicken with fries and the rice dish with chicken and shrimp (think fried rice with a ton of savory flavor) were also great food. No alcohol is served, but go for the food and booze it up somewhere else. read more

Peruvian food is one of my favorite type of Latin American food! I've tried a few things on their menu and I need to share how awesome there food is. First off I've tried a few other Peruvian places around Doraville and tucker area and I keep coming back here because it's simply the best. The rotisserie chicken is by far the best here. It's so crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The fries that come with it (you have a choice of rice or fries) are good. It also comes with a side of salad. There is nothing special about the salad except for the house dressing they make! My god I love the house dressing!!! Idk what they put in that dressing but it's my favorite dressing EVER! The lomo saltado is also great. Taste authentic, and that's what I always look for in a lomo. Looking forward to trying the chicken lomo saltado. Last but not least no matter what you order you need to order an alfajor for desert. It's a crumbly cookie with dolce de leche filling. They are incredibly good here. I've tried alfajores in too many places coming out disappointed but these did not let me down. My coworkers and I eat these on our cheat day and look forward to it every week. Only reason I did not give this place a fifth star is because their service is lacking. I've never dined in but there have been a few people vocalizing their how upset they are with the service. The first time I picked up it took them 45 min to complete my order. If you've made it this far into my review- thank you for taking the time! Hopefully this was helpful :) read more

A must try! Don't let the appearances fool you, their food is DELICIOUS. Their ceviche, lomo saltado, rotisserie chicken and anticuchos are some of their specialties. No other Peruvian restaurant compares to the food quality this place has. read more

I'm Peruvian, and I'm always looking for that restaurant that takes me closer to the food from my home country. This restaurant is by far the best Peruvian food in town. The restaurant is not the pretties but the food is amazing! Try la leche de tigre Diego style. read more

Terrible expensive Not enough food No pan Not enough waiters Tallarin saltado de pollo - how can you mess it up Its funny how the reviews below says portion is ok, service ok, food is ok.... It should not be ok It should be great or at least good. 20 dollars for 1 person lunch should be ok read more

Chicken was good. Priced at $9.99 a little high for a 1/4 chicken with French fries and Iceberg Lettuce however. Until more Pollo La Brasa's come into the area, I'll be going with this one. read more

Super sketchy place. I must confess that I always order take-out since I don't feel comfortable eating in. However, the food is delicious! Specially their chicken with their yummy sauces. Yes, the fries are the frozen kind and the salad is ok at its best. But their sauces and friendly staff take the cake. Whenever you get their grilled chicken ask for their green aji sauce and some sort of mustard/mayo sauce. Yum! You won't be disappointed with the food, but i would recommend tale out for sure! read more

Shortly after sitting down, I as informed that this place is a Peruvian restaurant; however; there are a plethora of Mexican dishes on the menu. I'm giving this place 3 stars but it really should be two-and-a-half. I decided to try this place since it is close to my house; I could almost walk there. I got there at 11AM and they were still in the process of opening. So nobody was there but me. I ordered a Inca Cola which is kind of an odd cross between a pineapple soda and a cola; interesting flavor in an weird kind of way but good none-the-less. I also ordered a quarter chicken, which came with a side of fries and a "salad" (more on that later on). It took a good solid 20 to 30 minutes for my food to arrive. I almost paid for my soda and left to go eat elsewhere. When the food finally arrived the chicken was piping hot but smallish (for a white meat / breast and wing portion). I will admit that the chicken was really tasty; however, the fries were of the portioning, flavor and consistency of bland Wendy's fries (kind of dissappointing). Also dissapointing: The "salad" was more of a side garnish or burger topping with a dash of some kind of tasty peppery dressing; shredded lettuce, a roma tomato slice and a cucumber slice. Also of note were the condiments in squeeze dispensers: Ketchup of the standard American Variety, some kind of honey mustard / mayo hybrid, and - most notably - a peppery green condiment that resembled wasabe paste called Aji (a-HEE) which was amazingly good. I would say the meal and visit was an overall mixed feelings / mixed bag experience. In a neighborhood chock full of good cheap restaurants I would suggest that you skip this one. Yay! for Peruvian Food / cuisine; Boo! for this place read more

Super sketchy place, I used to love going here with my boyfriend but lately I food quality deteriorated. The ceviché tasted old instead of fresh. The food always take about 30 minutes to come out and their chicken is really dry. Need improvement on everything. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Food is amazingly delicious!! Pollo a la brasa is the best in Atlanta.

I ate here a few months ago. Maybe I just don't get Peruvian food, for which I am sad. Chicken - I really wanted to like this because its supposed to be sublimely spiced and slowly cooked in the big ovens behind the counter. It was actually kind of dry and I didn't taste anything sublimely spiced. The papas fritas - french fries with cheese sauce. And not like a yummy velvety cheese sauce, kind of a grainy, oddly flavored cheese sauce. The salad - uh - iceberg lettuce and tired tomato. At least it was cheap! read more

I'm not sure why this is reported as closed as I just ate here the other day. It's in the plaza with Dominos Pizza. The food was very good! Everything we tried we really liked. The reason I had to take off a star was because the service was painfully slow while there was only 1 other table of people eating there. The waitress was very nice and friendly, but from the time we walked in till the time we got our food was about 45-60 mins. It's too bad because I'd definitely come here more often if it were faster. read more

Food was decent but the service really sucked. One of our orders was wings and fried rice, waitress brought out fries instead. When we told her fried rice, she came back with taco rice with an attitude. We ordered 4 shots of Don Julio, chilled, she came back with martini glasses with bunch of ice and some cheap tequila in it. When we handed the cash, cashier snatched out of my hand like we owe them money. I don't care if u speak English or not, if u r not sure about something, don't just nod and act like u got it. Just bring someone else over and I'm glad to repeat it again. read more

So the food is right on point . The service is slow . The place is kinda dingy . It's a hard call . The lomo tasted authentic .

Happy I found this Peruvian restaurant. The food is sooo goooood!! The lomo saltado, platano frito, & maracuya drinks are amazing!!

I don't know what everyone is talking about with the "sketchy" comments. It was all families with their kids when I went today and very chill inside. Not fancy of course but the food was very authentic and affordable and large servings. I had the fish ceviche which was very tasty and my husband had the lomo which was very good as well. I will definitely be back! read more

Although the chicken is tasty, I prefer Mexican chicken with its crisp skin. This Peruvian version of roasted chicken seems boiled in texture. The papas fritas are your regular frozen version. The salad, however, is very, very fresh and the spicy aji verde sauce is so good I want them to bottle it and send me a crate every month. I love chicha morada (purple corn boiled with pineapple rind, cinammon and cloves) but theirs is a tad sweet for my liking. Incidentally, I saw my server go out and come back with 2 bags full of pre-packaged half chickens from the grocery next door. read more

Good Peruvian chicken! Not sketchy as people say and the service is fine. Also other good Peruvian dishes. The closest you're going to get instead of actually going to Peru read more

Food is great. I got the pollo saltado and it had great flavor and a big portion. Be warned: Service is awful. They'll bring out your drinks and your food and that's about all the service you get. The food is brought out after an outrageous amount of time. A 15% tip is added onto the bill so the staff doesn't have a motivation to treat you well. Would probably go to another Peruvian restaurant with better service if I'm back in town or just order take out. read more

Real sketchy place but amazing and delicious food is served here. Being from Peru I can say that the traditional dish, Pollo a La Brasa (Chicken fries w/Salad) is on point! Also their Lomo Saltado (a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin, with onions, tomatoes, served with fries and rice) is excellent!!!! Def try this place out! read more

Good place to get Peruvian chicken. the service is pretty quick and great tasting chicken. If you have never had Peruvian chicken try this place out and you won't regret it ! read more

amazing pollo a la brasa..!!!! This is hands down my favorite Peruvian restaurant. Being from Peru this is the closest I think I'll get to really peruvian food. The anticuchos are amazing and so is everything else. They have Chicha which is a purple corn drink and it's fantastic. Overall awesome place if you want to it authentic Peruvian good! read more

I am currently sitting in this restaurant and I can tell u that it's absolute shit. Not only was my food dry but the sauce tasted horrible. the service was underwhelming. I'm ordering an alfajor I'll let y'all know how it is. read more

Worst experience ever. $20 for a horrible tasting rotisserie meal, the wife and kids tasted it, and could not go much further. The tables were sticky, and dirty, yet the worst thing of all was the service, the waitress literally never acknowledge my presence, she did not see if I wanted something to drink, and never took my personal order. This never happened to me anywhere before, but I kept myself calm, since I was with a group and I rather not ever go here again than deal with bad food, and service. read more

Sad to give this place one star because the food is great, but the service is AWFUL! I went and purchased some food and they overcharged me. When I called they never apologized and made me go all the way back to the restaurant to get my money back. When I walked in, no one greeted me. The only server in the restaurant was sitting down eating and looked at me like I was bothering her by walking in her door! She was unable to tell me why this happened nor was she apologetic about the whole situation. I was excited to have found a good Peruvian restaurant but NO! read more

Me and my parents and siblings were all hungry and we wanted to go get some Peruvian food . We were so excited to go to a Peruvian restaurant because we are Mexican . The minute we arrived we open the door and stand waiting to be attended , no one said hi to us . They were all staring and it wasn't even busy, so we look around and assume I guess we'll grab a seat . We sat there and then waited for the waiter which was a while , she asked us what we wanted to drink and we let her know . She comes back brings us our canned soda and some cups , we noticed that only two out of 7 cups only had ice. we ordered and then waited for our food , when our food arrived we were like ummm is she going to hand us silverware.. if it weren't for us telling her she probably wouldn't have given us any . we finish up and my dad tells her we are ready for the check and if we could get a to go box , we wait for like 25 minutes and see she is helping others and we are sitting there waiting and waiting , when finally I decide to go up front and pay because she had obviously forgot about us . I pay and we were not going to leave a tip because that service was not worth tipping I'm sorry to say, but come to find out the tip was included in the receipt and was 15% we weren't gonna tip because we just weren't satisfied with our service . The food was so good, but I definitely will not be coming back here . disculpe que me exprese así pero veo que no soy la única que piensa que su servicio es pésimo. Ojalá que el jefe tome en cuenta lo que tiene que decir sus clientes y pueda arreglarlo . read more

Just moved here from NYC where we had a convenient Peruvian restaurant down the block. I found the restaurant to be a little sparse, but the atmosphere was light and happy, and the food amazing! i will definitely go back! read more

Never again. The food used to be really good. I'm a gringo that speaks Spanish, but rather than saying that they don't speak English "you know because we're in the United States" They told me that they're closed and they re-open in 30 mins. I simply asked who the hell opens a restaurant at 12:43pm, when the signs says you're open at 11:30. So I returned and got horrible food. The food used to be amazing, but they've gone down hill with the food and horrible attitude. read more

My stay in Georgia was very tasty. I had the chance to visit a few restaurants; this one was one of them. Lomo Saltado excellent. Ceviche was good as well. Pollo a la brasa A1. Definitely will recommend. read more

The food was ok, not exceptional. We were looking for some really good Peruvian food, but this was not it. I
