    Lunch Special Menu
    Chris S.

    I tried Pollon for lunch. I was greeted right away when I entered and ask if it was take out or eat in. Eating in I took a booth and was asked what I wanted to drink and given the menus. Monday through Friday they had a lunch special which consisted of picking an appetizer and an entree. The restaurant It was very clean and neat. I got a Unsweetened tea, Appetizer 'Causa De Pollo' and Entree 'Tallarin Saltado De Carne'. The Causa De Pollo was a lunch size that was delicious. It was I think a scoop of rich mash potato's with a scoop of like chicken salad on top with a delish sauce. The Tallarin Saltado De Carne was a very good stir fried noodle beef dish with red onion, tomatoes and scallions. I splurged and had flan for dessert. For me it was a great introduction to Peruvian Cuisine.

    Lomo Saltado

    This place offers fast service delicious Peruvian food. I tried the lunch special stir fry dish Lomo Saltado with Causa de Pollo. So good. I ordered 2 orders of Peruvian chicken to go for my friends. Stay tuned how the like it. The hostess was very kind and offered additional sauce.

    The food is delicious, fresh and good size portions for the cost. The service was a little slow but it was a busy Friday night and only 3 people were working. The decor is simple and clean and the ambiance is casual.

    The decor was up to standard for a smaller restaurant but didn't feel too crowded or tight. The food was pretty good, and the portions were adequate for the price. I was very satisfied with my meal and had plenty, so I wasn't left wanting more. Our server was very professional and courteous considering the large group we had. I would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for latin cuisine.

    A surprise visit here with my son and his family. Service was great. We had the fried snapper which was excellent. I would recommend the whole snapper.

    This is a little gem in Longwood. Chicken was so good. I haven't had good Peruvian style chicken in a while. We ordered a whole chicken that came with 2 generous side portions. We decided for Yuca Fries and Fried Plaintains. Both really good. I also ordered the Garlic Potatoes. The only item I did not like. Staff was friendly and didn't have to wait too long to get the food. Can't wait to go back. We finished that chicken in record time.. it was that good.

    Yummy quick lunch spot for some good Peruvian food. Perfect spot to do a pick up order. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but the service was excellent! Food came out fast and it was all delicious. Fair pricing!

    Chicken plate with fries and a salad

    Had an excellent dinner here tonight. All of the food was really tasty. Highly recommend the chicken plate. The chicken was really well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side salad was fabulous! We will be back for sure. Great mom and pop place. Comfortable and clean inside, nice music and the waitress was super sweet.

    Yucca fries, beans, rice, salad to go with

    Being in the area I decided to give this Pervian cuisine small place a try. I am typically skeptical of Spanish food these days as I prefer not to bother if I can make it better to my liking at home. I was wrong though, I got the rice and beans and salad with yucca fries all to give a try. The rice used seemed like jasmine rice and it was freshly made (as I don't put it past these days to get stale food - pet peeve). The beans/frijoles had flavor and paired well with it. The yucca fries also piping hot and fresh - not overly oily either, my other pet peeve.. The side salad and side dressing was a nice touch to have with the lunch. I read in the past reviews they have good dips/sauces so I made sure to ask. She offered garlic sauce, a hot green sauce, and salad dressing I went with all 3 and it did a great job of enhancing it all. Service was busy but still welcoming - I forgot to order my typical mango smoothie and despite someone waiting in line she was still nice about having to ring me up twice. The mango smoothie half milk half water is my thing and it didn't disappoint here. The lighting was lacking a bit inside and it was busy so I decided to take it out and eat outside. Also, not sure if service is always quick there but my food came out in about 5-10 minutes while still fresh! Il def be back for another dish.

    Excellent food. Tried for the first time. Went to a beer and plant event and then decided to try this place. Did not disappoint. I ordered basically the house fried rice and it was so flavourful, I'm not a big calamari fan but in that fried rice it was cooked perfectly!! Will go

    Recommended by a Peruvian friend and it did not disappoint! Went for Sunday lunch and it was not very crowded but it did begin to fill up later (still early afternoon). The food was amazing, the atmosphere very pleasant, and the service beyond friendly. Either intend to go there or be drawn in by the amazing smells from the kitchen. Either way, you won't be disappointed!

    A little bit salty for my taste but I told the waitress and they made it fresh all over again so I was surprised !! It was delicious and really well cooked with fresh ingredients. The pollo taste was so good... the portions were huge and the 3 of us had more than enough for sure. The drinks were ok. It is about 30 mins drive for us but We will come back again for sure.

    Their logo. Nice, small place.

    I have only now just found out about this place? We found it on a lark because my son was hungry- but for something we never had. So I threw out the idea of Peruvian food?! And with that; we came across this wonderful restaurant. It is a little hidden, right next to a bar and in a shopping center. Very subtle, but it's there! It isn't a huge steakhouse by any means, but big enough for a couple of families and a few couples/duos in search of a great meal. I got a chicken and rice dish with onions atop and mixed veggies within. My son got a fish dish which looked delicious, and had what seemed like a full salad as a side - with rice. Both meals were tremendous! So much food! And seasoned just right. The rice was cooked perfectly- just dry enough so that it made you drink to wash it down as opposed to drying out your mouth. Furthermore, the place is clean and staff friendly. The woman who took our order sensed my son didn't know what he was getting with his first choice (raw fish) , so she guided him to something more his liking. Service was quick and prices are sensible. Great food and service. Will be back!

I ordered the 4 box combo with fries and coleslaw. Service was friendly and efficient. We were greeted immediately upon walking in, and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the quality did not match my past experiences. The chicken tenders were small, dry, and lacked that freshly cooked texture I normally expect. The fries also tasted like they had been sitting rather than served hot and crisp. The biggest issue was the coleslaw. After just a couple of bites, I noticed an unusual taste that made me stop eating it immediately. Later that evening, I began feeling sick to my stomach, and that feeling continued through the night. I have had better experiences at other Raising Cane's locations, but food quality and freshness are essential at any restaurant. This visit did not meet that expectation.

They were very nice and I did have everything I needed in the bag by the time I brought it out to my car. The fries were so beyond soggy. The "ventilated" lid did nothing except trap water in. When I took off the lid to the fry trays, the water from the steam of the fries dripped all over the table, my leg, and shoes...that's how soggy they were. All in all, my coworkers still love Raising Cane's and demolished 3 trays of chicken tenders, two trays of bread, and one tray of fries.

It's a quick-serve concept where you can order at the counter or go through the drive thru. My friend and I opted to eat at the restaurant. We walked right up the counter and placed our orders.

I ordered a trio with a scoop of fancy Nancy, a scoop of buffalo barcaly and broccoli salad. Each trio comes with a pickle and cookie. For $15, it's a great deal.

I heard about this place via tik tok and didn't realize it was a franchise. The service has been good so far. I've gone in and sat down and had a decent experience as well. Overall, it's very casual, and a small place to pop in and grab a quick bite to eat.

Seems to have a lot of regulars dropping by for carry-out orders. Service was excellent - very nice people. Reasonable prices, but portions are fairly small. Ordered the "best chicken in town", - the chickens are very small, and the 1/4 chicken breast I had was noticeably dry. The seasonings and flavor are very good though. But I have much better from any Peruvian chicken place. Had the zucchini in tomato sauce as one side an it was outstanding. Pasta salad was average. Pita bread seemed dry. Hummus was very good. Potatoes had great flavor but also a little dry. Rice pudding dessert was very tasty. Overall I was disappointed because I had hoped this might become a go-to spot for me to hit regularly but unfortunately I cannot imagine a scenario where I'd make the effort to go back.
