I went in this place right after they opened at 11am. You can tell it's under new management, I believe it even has a new name. Anyway, the nice gentleman at the counter promptly took my order and said it would be a few minutes. That was fine, as I knew it would be fresh. A minute later, a gentleman walked out the kitchen with what appeared to be a pesticide applicator. He turned around and his uniform confirmed my assumption. He then began to spray pesticide in the direct area where the food station was. I politely cancelled my order and walked out. I can't speak for the food, but the exterminator totally ruined my appetite. Won't be back. read more

Me and my Mom love Hector. He's the manager there and always treats us well. The food is excellent and he encourages his team to have a positive attitude which we end up feeling and tasting in the food. If you're a first timer get the Chicken Quesadilla with the yellow sauce (2 is good enough). bang for your buck and you'll be full till the end of the night. read more

Mala reputación. Hoy día decidimos ir a almorzar a este lugar. Llegamos a las 3:10pm Preguntamos si aún nos podía atender y la señora dijo que sí. Vimos el menú, y pregunté sobre la carne azada, que tal era o si lo recomendaba. La señora respondió muy groseramente diciendo que a ella le gusta que los gustos de la gente no es su problema. Le dijimos amablemente que que solo estábamos buscando recomendaciones para comer, pero ella no nos dejó ni hablar. Honestamente jamás volvería a este lugar con tan desagradable empleados que tienen. Por eso no tienen income por que ellos mismos se encargan de hacer correr a sus clientelas. Señores dueños. Pongan más atención a quien contratan para trabajar ahí, porque ustedes contratan para que la gente les genere dinero en ventas y en dar recomendaciones en la comida. Por gente así se van a ir a la quiebra. read more

I have tried a lot of these peruvian chicken places and decided to try this one for lunch. I ordered the 1/4 white chicken combo with shrimp. My order was initially rung up incorrectly, but the person working there quickly corrected my ticket. This was not a big deal, but I have seen several reviews for this place complaining that orders seem to be incorrect frequently. I think the price point is good considering you get a drink and two sides. The inside looked clean and is spacious. My only real issue was the wait time. Most of these pollo a la brasa places get you in and out quickly during lunch, but this was the slowest I have experienced. I agree with another reviewer that calling in ahead is wise. The food itself was delicious and was a large portion. The shrimp were amazing and the chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. Overall I think 4 stars is fair for this place. read more

The 2 "large" sizes for me looked like small. I was expecting a bit more for 2 large yucas. The fried yucas was alright tho.The chicken is alright had a smokey taste to it. Try to go for the chicken when you smell it outside from the store (i didint get mines cooked fresh which you know just a me thing). The people were very nice and can speak both english and spanish. They got apple pay and several mexican food options which i didint know of. The place was empty (i went around 2) and kinda dark. Maybe with more service this place could make some yummy food and upgrades (being the only pervivan style chicken in this area). In a short summary, not bad. read more

On 1 January 2025, I walk in to this "restaurant" at abaout 2 pm First when I walk in. The lights were out, Dinning area was dark. I waited to be attended, and no one was at the front desk, so I served myself a drink from the cooler which I opened knowing that I would eat and drink there and I would pay for the food and drink. 5 minutes later, a guy come from the back and asked me how I could be help, to what I answer I want a quarter of chicken, he replied breast or leg, I said anything is fine. I ask him what side the order included , to what he responded. Read the menu. He was kind stutter in spanish to what I ask him if he speaks spanish or prefer English, he responded with a question as if I speak English to what I say yes. So I ask him in English of what was the sides for the order , to what he responded is your food you add whatever you want to.. To what I said , that please charge me for the drink because was already open, that I will not eat there. He replayed thanks GOD. To what I said why he would treat costumers like that, to what he responded I being a d...h... I ask him for his manager to complain to what he responded he was the manager. I told him he shouldn't be in that position because that is not a way to treat a costumer. He responded just pay for the drink and get the f. Out of here. He challenged me by saying his name was Cailo' if I want to file a complaint with the owner. Well I hope the owners see this review, and as he thanks GOD when costumer refuse to eat there, he can get an answer to his prayer and no one go there to eat. As for me I would never be back to eat there, and I don't rec I mend that place to anyone read more

Great food in town. The Rotisserie chicken is a must. Been ordering the Family meal several times and never disappoints when gathering when family members. read more

Enjoyed the chicken, ribs, beans & rice, and sweet plantains. My husband loves the chicken, but I thought the ribs were well cooked & seasoned. Meat falls off the bone, the white bone/cartilage is soft and can easily be chewed on without cracking your teeth (if you like eating the soft bones) - The crowns on my molars and teeth caps thank the chef! And no meal is complete without fried plantains! read more

Always delicious and portions are generous. One of our favorite places to order from!

Disappointed. This used to be a very good Peruvian Pollo spot. The pollo has lost that Peruvian pollo taste, it bland with no flavor. The fries and yuca are over cooked and have a very dark color to allude that the oil is old or they are left out, I received cold fries and yuca. The black beans and rice had a funny smell almost as if they also are old. And on top of it all, the service is unfriendly and I. Even got an eye roll from the young lady when she almost ran me up with the wrong order. It's like they are being bothered when you arrive. Don't know what happened to this location it used to be a gem now it's just a spot I will avoid. Spin Pollo in Kingstowne is head and shoulders better. read more

DON'T GO! . If I could give the place a zero start rating, I would. Terrible customer service. The place is not clean and has no pride of ownership. The owner is rude and mean to customers and staff. Should not have an establishment if they are not willing to at least be clean and courteous. Food is okay but the presentation is messy. read more

Stars is for the food, good food. Call your order in ahead of time. Word of advice. Just don't care for the sauces that they have

Employees are super sloppy. One dropped my order of plantains on the floor, she picked some of it up threw it in the trash, and kicked the rest under the counter. Then she went and rinsed her hands with water and no soap. She then stuffed the order into a plastic bag without even bothering to close the containers. When I got home one of my orders was missing. To make matters worse, Blood squirted out of the chicken when one family matter tried to eat it. Will NEVER eat there again. read more

This place is absolutely delish !! & consistent. I've been coming here for lunch/dinner... First I was a little hesitant about the whole in the wall looking place- but after trying the chicken quesadillas I've been hooked! It's a great kids combo that comes with fries and a drink for only $5.00. I've also had the chicken fajitas and that comes with rice, salad and beans very flavorful and taste so good. And how could I forget to mention the Guacamole !!!!!! Yummy to my tummy !!!! They also sell calypso lemonades and the Peach is my favorite !! You should give this place a try...I will update my review should I try anything else... read more

I have sampled more than 15 chicken establishments in Virginia, and I must say that this particular one stands out as the worst. The quality of their food is abysmal, and what's worse is that it is significantly pricier compared to the other places. The exorbitant price does not align with the subpar quality of the food served at this establishment. read more

I placed an Uber Eats order for them tonight. When the food came my drinks were missing. I called the restaurant to let them know and the guy who answered told me to f**k off. The lack of customer service nowadays is awful. Sent a message to Uber Eats and the are refunding my order. High Uber Eats and a big thumbs down to this place. read more

Possibly the worst chicken quesadilla Ive ever had. Could be I'm used to grilled white meat being used in every quesadilla Ive ate before... Not ripped off dark meat pieces of a rotisserie chicken and soggy tortilla .. completely different taste ..somehow too sweet and in my opinion sloppy . Not worth the money for the quesadilla. To add after the recent reply: I did state " to be fair, it was leftovers in the picture " so in my opinion it was the worst I've had. I was told to get the quesadilla based off what is said about it selling so much but have never had a quesadilla made with dark meat. Nor strips that's just seemed like pulled apart chicken. More so fajita or grilled chicken.. cut in chunks.. it was in fact soggy from the beginning based on the heat and it being in a to go box. That's as fair as I can possibly be to let others know what they may expect considering this quesadilla vs others they've had in past. If you like it you like it . No knockin it . read more

Horrible customer service and food. We ordered delivery and received a dessert with mold on it. When we called in to speak to managemen the owner (female) was placed on the phone. She did not even apologize for the selling us the old product. Very rude and unprofessional. We will NEVER order from this place again! read more

Told myself to give it a try even though I read all the reviews. 1. I thought it was hilarious that the young employee does have an attitude. Which is stated in 80% of the reviews. 2. Only one had a on a mask and no gloves. 3. My chicken was very very dry and flavorless. I just thought it looked dry and maybe moist on the inside. Absolutely not! Everything taste like it's been sitting for some time. The rice & beans over cooked and flavorless. No seasoning at all. I couldn't even eat the plantains which are my favorite. The were fried up and not warm or hot at all. Also some sauce was supposed to come with my chicken meal. It never made it. I had two tacos I should've just made at home. The ice burg letter medley on the taco was a big miss for me. OMG and the Queso ABSOLUTELY NOT! I tried one chip of it and couldn't finish it. It's definitely not homemade. It taste like family dollar cans of queso. Which is completely off brand but you get what you pay for. They should seriously be ashamed of the queso. I think the pricing is good but I wish the food was. Everything you see here unfortunately made it to the trash. I also feel sick this morning from it so I'll be taking it easy and only having fluids. Definitely try for yourself but for me it's a hard NO! I will not be back. read more

Today, I ordered the chicken burrito, for which my hopes never rose above three stars on a yelp scale). Today this 1.5-3 star maybe turned my taste buds into a 4 star believer. Piping hot and dripping juice out of its foil wrap. My burrito was pipping hot and ready for the taking. It comes with rice, corn, pico de gallo and that juicy chicken. While the rice is bland, it serves mainly as a filler. The corn was sweet (frozen tasting) and the pico de gallo tasted fresh and citrusy. The flavors rounded off so well, I pushed my limit and ate the whole thing (can you say I.T.I.S.?). This was clearly not an authentic Mexican burrito, but I don't think it was trying to pose as one either. I loved it though. Enough to make me want to come back and try other tex-mex items in the menu. read more

La Brasa Chicken - 1/2 chicken burrito MmmMmmm - Latin American Near Me - Lorton, Virginia

Just found out about this place last week even though I've lived like 10 minutes down the street for like 2 years now. Great advertising! Not! But this isn't where they lose a star. Let's start with what works: First, this place is obviously the hidden gem in a somewhat run-down shopping center. When you walk in, you are greeted with a huge menu and a pretty clean eating area. The service is quick. Second, lets talk about prices! I got the half chicken combo meal. With that, you get 1 large side and 1 small side. Ignore what the words "large" and "small" are. I got large rice and beans and it was basically half the plate! The small plantains were more than enough. The chicken is a big whoa. It is huge. It makes me wonder where similar competitors are getting their chickens. And all this for about $10! Is this real life? But let's get to where they lose the elusive Perfect 5 Star Review from yours truly. If you are eating to-go, this place is perfection. However, I came during the work day during lunch. What you are given as fork and knife is a big stretch of those definitions. The fork is more flimsy than a the plastic lid on a Planter's peanut container. The knife isn't much better. By the time I was done trying to cut away the chicken from the bone, my fork looked like it was in the mouth of a toddler for the past week - bent, crooked, and unrecognizable. Some of my friends also had the same issues and their forks broke. But, maybe this is why you get all this food for a $10 steal. The restaurant decided to purchase their eating utensils at the dollar store. read more

I just ordered from your restaurant on grubhub and my order was cancelled because my order was given to someone who was NOT the grubhub driver. I'm not sure how that is even possible and after waiting for an hour for delivery I had to try to figure out another meal for my family to now wait another 40-55 mins. You not only wasted my time but also the driver's time who was waiting to collect on my behalf. DO BETTER. I also don't have a conventional name which makes any "mix up" even more ridiculous. I will never order from this restaurant again. read more

The worst service ever. Long wait for average food! Always short staffed. Last time going to this hole in the wall.

Love the Peruvian chicken here! I always get the 1/4 chicken with rice & beans and fried plantains (plantanos). Although the place could use a little bit of an upgrade, the food was delicious so it wasn't a big deal. Lunch time rush can get very busy and it can be a bit of a wait to get your food but well worth it! read more

I am happy that you responded to my post. I stand behind my post and you and I both know what happened on that day. As a matter of fact, I am also glad you mentioned that you were not having the best of days, and that was obvious. I beg to differ with why you would start telling lies about the rest of what happened. You know for a fact that I did none of those outrageous things you stated. I am NOT that kind of person. I am a reasonable person and I thought that since I had been coming to your establishment for more than two years, that my simple request for warm fries was not too much to ask. I don't know why you choose to add the untrue statements about me, but you and I both know that you just told an entire scenario of lies, and you especially at NO time cried while I was in the restaurant. I was there to pick up food that day to take to a family that had just lost their father from cancer and I told you that was why I was late, and I apologized for being late. I only asked for a new order of fries. I did not ask to have the entire order redone. What does the cost of the meal have to do with anything?? And to be clear, the meal wasn't cheap nor did I get a "deal" because I ordered through Grub hub. We are all human and if you are willing to be honest, you did NOT treat me with respect that day. For you to say "God bless my soul" I recommend you leave God's name out of your mouth because lies and God's name should not come from the same place. I am done with this issue and your restaurant. If anybody else has any problems with this restaurant, I suggest you record the incident, because I can see that the truth will not be told by this woman! read more

Man behind the counter literally could not care less about my issue and did a very good job showing that. ‍‍‍‍ read more

My last time eating here. Absolutely disgusting how they treat customers and they work without washing their hands. Heard so many things and until now it's proved. Disgusting service and bathrooms everything. Maybe they're used to eating in a fucking trash can. Never again eating here and I highly recommend not coming to eat in here. Coming from a Hispanic person that ate here often. Don't come here ! Just don't! Friends of mine have worked here and after what they've told me it's disgusting!!! read more

The food here is alright, the chicken is pretty dry for the most part and my orders get messed up frequently.
