This place is pure nostalgia for me, I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Even though I've moved, I still make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in NYC because they have some of the best Peruvian chicken and fried rice around. The restaurant hasn't changed much over the years, so don't expect anything aesthetic or trendy. It's the food that makes this place special. If you're in a rush, they're always quick with your order, and I also love their aguadito. I truly hope they're around for another 100 years. Love this place! read more

It honestly pains me to write this. I used to love coming here. I grew up on this place, it was always packed, often with a line out the door. Sadly, those days are long gone, and it's now obvious why. The quality has gone way downhill. The chicken portions are noticeably smaller, but that's not even the worst part. What really shocked me was how I was treated when trying to make a simple, health-conscious request. I attempted to order two white meat meals, as both my mother and I have cholesterol issues and cannot eat dark meat. I was told I had to order a mix of white and dark meat, that they "don't allow" two white meat meals. Even after explaining the health concerns, they still refused. The only "solution" offered was to buy a half chicken (with dark meat we can't eat) and then purchase an additional quarter white meat. On top of that, they tried to charge me an extra $3 for it. Being told what I can and cannot order especially when it relates to a health issue is absurd. And trying to sneak in extra charges for a workaround that they forced on me? That's just bad business. This place has lost its heart and its standards. If you're thinking about coming here ...don't. There are far better spots that actually care about their customers read more

Great Peruvian food at fantastic prices. Small place very unassuming but excellent food

Kind of expensive for just three pieces but the ribs are tasty. We also ordered the yucca fries not too expensive but could have been cooked more, a bit undercooked. Rice is a bit hard for my liking but again I'm not Hispanic and that's how they like their rice with salt and oil? If they keep raising their prices and cut down on the sizes of their ribs I'll be going elsewhere. read more

One of the places that I do not recommend so as not to get a bad impression of Peruvian food. The attention of the cashier is one of the downsides. I arrived to eat at 8:30 08/22/2024 and she became aggressive because they close the place at 9 and that I only had 20 minutes to eat, but nevertheless she kept talking to her coworker, the fact that she was doing me a favor by selling me a plate of a piece of chicken with reheated potatoes that does not reflect the decileity of Peruvian food. I had to stand up and ask for my money back because of the absolute lack of respect they have for the customer. I do not recommend this place. read more

Update: I brought the food back to them two days llater. They did make good on my complaint. They argued a little at first but we were able to come to an agreement and as part of that they game fresh food. It was good. Not sure why the food was so terrible on my last visit but will give them another chance in the future but will check all the food before I leave. read more

I'm Colombian, but I can say that Peruvian food and specially this place is delicious. All the good vibes from the universe for them !!!! Congrats!!! read more

I took my mom out to eat to celebrate her becoming a citizen. You know, big moment and all. She chose this place because it's always been a staple of hers "for the lomo saltado," she said. (im vegan, but hey, its her day) All was well until both my mom and boyfriend agreed that they had changed the lomo and it didn't taste the same. And then my small portion eating ass could barely get through half of that mountain of rice that I went to ask for a to go box and guess what?! They charged me for it. Who in the world charges fo....awful. Two stars for the hot sauce. read more

I stopped by this place for an impromptu dinner on a Friday night and WOW I was blown away! The quality of food is authentic Peruvian: you MUST have the rotisserie chicken! It is cooked just right... Juicy, tender and finger licking good! The chicken falls off the bone so softly and seasoned to perfection. I ordered a 1/4 lb chicken with rice and beans. The rice was okay- nothing to brag about but the beans were tasty! The Peruvian spicy green sauce was AMAZING!!! Definitely a must have. When you walk in you go straight to the counter and place your order. To the left I immediately noticed the fast food Chinese take out containers piled in the corner. I must admit I am not used to seeing this at a Spanish restaurant. I couldn't help but smile at the delicious smell in the restaurant but the cashier didn't seem impressed with my excitement. Her customer service skills were not the greatest. She seemed angry and annoyed. Long day at work? Perhaps. We paid and sat down. Our food came out in a timely fashion- delivered by a friendly young man. After that- history took it's course. Delicious goodness! I will definitely be back. For sure! Hopefully next time la Señora behind the counter will be in a better mood. read more

La Casa Del Pollo Peruano II - 1/4 lb rotisserie chicken with rice and beans! - Latin American Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I have a question, is this place still Peruvian? When I stopped in today after many years the place looked dead. The workers were Colombian and the vibe just felt wrong. The beef fried rice was bland at least the rotisserie chicken was ok. read more

In our failed attempt to locate Pollo Loco (Crazy Chicken), a Colombian Rotisserie-style chicken restaurant my dad and I used to frequent on Roosevelt Avenue we luckily stumbled upon Lacasa Del Pollo Peruano II. There were so many Latin American restaurants, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian and more. We chose this restaurant because there were many people eating there and they looked to be Hispanic, so we figured we couldn't go wrong. Same holds true when looking for a good Chinese restaurant, many Chinese in a Chinese restaurant must mean good Chinese food. We ordered 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken, 3-piece Spare ribs and fried yuca. The chicken and ribs came with white rice and beans. We shared the dishes so we could get a taste of both dishes. The chicken was delicious, tender and juicy. The ribs were very tasty and tender as well. My dad said they were the best ribs he has tasted to date. The fried yuca was also very good. We were very happy with our meal and will definitely come back when we are in the area. Atmosphere is more like a fast-food/eat-in restaurant, nothing fancy. Prices were incredibly cheap considering the quality of food. Street parking. Line up, order, pay, have a seat, give your receipt to the wait staff and they will deliver your food. Highly recommended. read more

The former champ known as Pio Pio has gotten its crown taken via 10th round KO by La Casa Del Pollo Peruano! Despite also becoming a chain with a number of locations, albeit within about 7 blocks of each other, Pollo Peruano (as I will refer to it in this review) has maintained the same level of quality in the chicken and brisk service. I have been to both the 81st St and 87th St locations and both are quite similar, spartan locales. Dare I say the best deal pound for pound (the aforementioned boxing reference stuck with me here!) deal in the 'hood is the 1/2 chicken. Forgo the combo meal and it clocks in at $5 with tax! Save your extra $2 for any other side dish, or use it to splurge on the excellent fried rice. It is well worth the occasional splurge and they do make a mean version of it here. But back to the chicken, it is nice and juicy as it should be with a well seasoned and crispy skin to boot. The only knock is that it closes relatively early, considering how late many other places are open til in the neighborhood and there's no delivery. However, it is well worth the tremendous value and great flavor. All former lovers of Pio Pio, pre-decline, you have your new reigning belt holder! read more

La Casa Del Pollo Peruano II - 1/2 Chicken - Latin American Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

While wandering around the area, my friend and I dropped by for what turned out to be a tasty lunch of a half chicken, rice and beans, and tostones. After we ordered at the counter, we made our way to a table. A few minutes later our food was brought out. The chicken was perfectly prepared, not too dry and well-seasoned. And while the rice and beans were pretty standard, the tostones were among the best I have had. Including two bottles of water, everything cost about $20, or $10 per person. Yay! I'm a fan. read more

I am having a hard time walking right now and my stomach hurts because I literally could not stop eating this chicken. No idea what people expect, but its a straightforward Rotisserie chicken spot, and cheap! The chicken is unreal. The green sauce is perfectly savory/spicy It was six bucks for 1/4 chicken, perfectly cooked rice, savory red beans. I would skip the salad. The chicken is salty, yes, but I am literally craving it already and the flavor is unreal. Friendly, fast, clean, and absolutely addictive. Cheap. Don't come in here expecting a restaurant or atmosphere Nothin' wrong with this place! read more

Family favorite for over 20 years. I have never been able to find Peruvian chicken that is seasoned this well. The ribs and fried rice are also amazing. read more

Hey, have I been magically whisked away to Peru? This is the real deal, kids. This place is about as authentic as it gets around NYC for Peruvian pollo a la brasa, from the juicy chicken, to the spicy aji, all the way to the decor and service. I like this place much better than some of the more "Americanized" Peruvian spots like Pio Pio. This place is casual, inexpensive and delicious. Great deal on take-out whole chickens, too. read more

One of the holy grails of the rotisserie chicken phonomenon that has swept from cities to the suburbs. This place is super clean, the staff is friendly and the food is awesome. Whatever you order, make sure and ask for extra green sauce.......it's totally addicting! read more

One of my favorite places in Queens for Peruvian food. They have a few locations in Queens. They have a chain of restaurants which are cash only, take out or eat in. No delivery. I love their rotisserie chicken. It's juicy and so flavorful. Their fried rice is also delicious. They have a few varieties from vegetables, chicken to steak. I regularly order the mix fried rice and maduros, which is sweet plantains. Mmm delicious lol You can never go wrong with lunch here and it's inexpensive. read more

Best Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken & Ribs Place EVER!! BEST GREEN SAUCE!! I've been to Peru numerous amounts of time and honestly this place I would have to say takes you on a journey to Peru and brings the Inca-nian out of you! Try their GREEN SAUCE! The Chicken is mouth dripping good, the meat just slides of the bones, it's so soft that you don't even need to chew! Same goes for the ribs, they are marinated to the Tee! Non-Salty, you don't even need a glass of water that's how good it is! Don't forget your chicha-moradada-Purple Drink! Try it PLEASE! You will love it! I've had the Aroz Chaufa rice which is Peruvian Fried Rice and It's slamming! Prices are reasonable! You can go there and sit down, you need to make the line which can be about 10mins or shorter, but it's worth it! Parking can be annoying around that area, don't worry when you park even though it looks a little sketchy you'll be fine! The Key is Peruvian Food! That's your objective! Oh yeah another tip: take extra green sauce with you, you'll be amazed with half the things you can use the sauce for, EXPERIMENT! read more

The chicken and ribs are what I've been eating for years from here. I live in the neighborhood so it's one of our family favorites for juicy rotisserie chicken and their delicious green sauce. Pay for the extra green sauce if you're getting a whole chicken. You will not be disappointed! read more

Delicious Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken at your service! This place is great! Like some of the other small "Chifa" (Peruvian-Chinese) spots I've tried, this place also offers a similar menu. Affordable, flavorful and tasty chicken. If you're in or around the area it's a great place to stop by and pick up some peruvian style chicken! read more

Food has fallen off a bit. And only one person who takes orders and hands out orders. So wait times are long and staff is rude

Love this place! I have been a faithful customer for years. The food is great, the chicken and the lomo is my favorite. Recently i came to this restaurant and was treated so rudely by the colombian cashier, shes fairly new. What a disappointment, to be greeted at the door like this. Never coming to this location again, thank God they have a location in 103rd st and 81st street. Either way , super recomend the food but dont go to the one in 87th st and Roosevelt. read more

Love this place. One of the best Peruvian Chicken spots in the area. Glad I have this restaurant 1 block away. Awesome food. Definitely should visit this place. I had the half chicken with french fries and it was so delicious. Definitely coming back! read more

I bought 1 large vegetable friend rice and 2 whole chickens. One whole chicken was utterly old and the other one was fresh. I grew up eating this food in the 90's until now, but now that the quality has dropped, I will not be returning. read more

4 stars for the whole chicken, which can be ordered for take-out for under $8 with the elusive green sauce. Extra sauce is another quarter; sister insisted on extra. The Peruvians have it down, the next day my lunch of meat was moist and the skin was charred and spiced in that way that makes mouths water. read more

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the chicken is to die for and the whole meal is less than $10...YOU CANNOT GO WRONG! I have to admit that I sometimes buy like 5 chickens when I have a dinner party and pass it off as my own....A whole chicken is less than $7...I LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Today I ordered a whole chicken with fries, when I looked at the chicken I saw the bones on the wings and it was all cut up bad as if they were to serve it and no one ate it so they put it back to sell to go & the chicken was undercooked and didn't have skin on 50% of it. I asked the lady the please change it. She gave me such an attitude telling me that's just the way they cut it. IVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR OVER 15 years, I KNOW HOW THE CHICKEN IS CUT. I told her okay fine, but can I please get another one (in a very nice manner). She mumbled under her breath and gave me another one but in a Chinese container without being cut. At this point, I'm not going to ask her to cut it, god forbid they spit in it. So I just took it. Oh and I also found something other than French fries in my fries. DISGUSTING. They use to have really nice people working there the same guy, now it's a lady and she's definitely horrible at customer service. I've been coming with my parents for over 15 years and now come myself. Well, I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. read more

The food was good. I used to go there almost every week to eat Until I noticed that THEY REUSE CHILI (green sauce for your food). When somebody don't use it all; because they give a lot if this sauce, they keep it for the next customer or mix it with others sauces from other customers. I saw it on my eyes.This is the reason i give only one star and i will not come back there anymore Beware of this restaurant. read more

My family loves this place!! We used to take out from here since 10 years ago! It's the best rotisserie chicken.. taste extra yummy when you add the green sauce! Add some chifa and yuca and you've got a meal. It's also very cheap. It's more of a take out place with seating space. Do expect a standing line to order depending on the time. Just went today and they've got an "A" for inspection, so it's clean too! Hahah read more

Things just got real, especially when you add the salsa verde, damn that sauce is the bomb. Always go for the beef(lomo soltado) chicken is just too much common. read more

The food is delicious and for the price the portions are great. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the fried rice is nothing special. Our table also ordered fried yuca and tostones which were both great! However, the service is terrible. The food was brought to our table right away, but the workers don't seem too interested in customer interaction. The workers are very dry and have an attitude as if they don't want to be working. This place is better for quick meals. read more

They dont sell two 1/4 chicken because of policy and thats it. No exception. So if youre not into white meat deal with it or go elsewhere. No signs posted about it, its a get there and find out scenario. Same goes for the location on that jungle 82nd street. read more

This place sucks!!! I am amazed at how many stars is getting! When I visited this place just by the look of it made me doubt about staying but since I was hungry I gave it a try. The place was dirty, it looked like those dirty White Castle restaurants. I ordered a chicken and rice something simple, my boyfriend ordered Ribs and Rice. We sat down and Bam! the food came out. I was shocked at the service! too too fast and as a result our food tasted old, burnt- my chicken was dry, his ribs were Burnt! Not even once did the "waitress' came to ask us how we were doing. We are not bad customers I felt like complaining but I just left it like that knowing that NEVER AGAIN will I go back! I also didn't think about leaving TIPs the girl did NOTHING to make us re think about our experience. We left her $2 bucks- In conclusion THE FOOD THERE IS YUCKY! Service: FAST FOOD QUALITY: TERRIBLE!!! I would go to PIO PIO for better food ! read more

I order to go and they didnt let me sit, and they treat me really bad. Food is too salty. they charge you for the sauce.

I don't mean to kill this place, but some of the other reviews are overly glowing. The chicken was just ok, the beans were tasteless and undercooked and the maduros were overcooked. Table sauces were bland. This place is cheap and fast, but far from five stars. read more

Came in at 815 very hungry they told me it was only cash so I walked to the ATM and back by 835 and they refused to serve me since they closed at 9 they only wanted takeout orders...pissed me off but I asked the manager nicely (mind you there wasn't anyone else ordering) but he was rude and told me to leave read more

This place ain't that good anymore,it use to be better when the owner and his family worked in the restaurant but I guess he made enough money and so he hired extra help and Now the chicken tastes too salty, I rather go to Peking BBQ in woodside or caravan chicken in Astoria which are way better! Funny thing his brother owns those two restaurants, but the quality is much better read more

Chicken is great, and very good portion for the price.
