    Lomo Saltado
    Alexandria T.

    I've never truly had food until this day. I can't even begin to explain how euphoric eating here was. Every bite filled me with bliss. The sauces were so unique. I loved the Japanese Chili Sauce. I got the Chaufa de Pollo. My boyfriend got the Lomo Saltado. We will be back. We will bring more. Mr Pollo makes me feel like Paul Revere. I must tell the others. I must. They must experience this. I will die one day and the last words on my tongue will be Mr Pollo. I love you Mr Pollo.

    Chaufa de pollo
    Alexis M.

    This is hands down the best tasting Peruvian place within a 20 mile radius. All of their dishes are made to order and taste so good. The lomo saltado is my favorite, and the portion size is huge. More than enough if you are super hungry, or enough for 2 meals/2 people. The chaufa de pollo is also super delish. Staff was friendly. Food was great, and the place has about 8 tables inside and gets super crowded. If you are in a rush, I recommend calling for your order ahead. Normal wait is like 7-15 minutes or more on a super busy day. Worth the wait. There are several stores on this strip so sometimes it may be hard to find parking.

    It's been a long time since we last visited Mr. Pollo, and I have no idea why we waited so long to return. Mr. Pollo is a little place in the middle of a small strip center serving up amazing rotisserie chicken and Peruvian dishes. They don't have an extensive menu, but everything is so good. If you plan to eat in the dining area, they would like you to order at the counter first, then find a table to sit. On this recent visit, we ordered the Whole Chicken meal ($32.60), which comes with your choice of two large sides. We got the mashed potatoes & gravy and the beans. This is one of the best rotisserie chickens we've had, and the sides were quite tasty as well. They also have Loma Saltado, Chaufa de Pollo (chicken fried rice), Tallarin Verde con Pechuga de Pollo (chicken served on spaghetti with spinach sauce), and a few other dishes to choose from. It's a very popular place and the dining area is on the small side, so be prepared that you might not find a place to sit. A lot of customers take their orders "to go". If you're looking for delicious food at reasonable prices, I recommend that you check them out.

    Mr Pollo is the sister store of another Peruvian restaurant called Misky Misky (see my other review) the difference is this has a smaller menu, and smaller interior, but the same system of ordering at the counter and they will bring the food to your table. The menu items look familiar, and can possibly be offered at Misky Misky, since they have a pretty extensive menu there. We order 3 dishes: Arroz con pollo. Cilantro rice and grilled chicken. Perfectly grilled chicken with fluffy green rice. Tallarin verde con salmon. Basil spinach pasta with salmon: Pasta had the right chewy texture, with tender salmon. This was our favorite dish. Pechuga Al Chimichurri, grilled chicken with chimichurri, rice and salad. Grilled chicken with a subtle smoky flavor balanced well with a salad. The service was great, because we ran into the same friendly guy we met at their sister restaurant, and we will surely return to both locations.

    Greasy dish

    I work at a hospital down the street from this place, and it seemed like a good choice to try. I ordered the chaufa de pollo -- big mistake. The dish was served boiling hot in a flimsy clear plastic container, which didn't seem very safe or sustainable. It came with chimichurri and jalapeño sauce on the side. Unfortunately, the food was extremely greasy and tasted like it had been fried in reused oil. The flavor was disgusting, and I ended up throwing the dish in the trash. I definitely won't be coming back.

    Mr. Pollo is my family's favorite Peruvian restaurant. I still think that the Tallarin Verde, Tallarin Saltado, and Lomo Saltado here are the best in terms of flavors, but they are soooooooo salty now. It tastes as if each ingredient--each noodle, piece of meat, vegetable--was coated in salt. My family had to make steamed unseasoned broccoli on the side to relieve some of the saltiness; otherwise the food would have been nigh unbearable (we had ordered takeout). Also, note that the Tallarin verde comes with chicken by default; if you want beef, you have to order Tallarin verde con bistec (I made this mistake). The chimichurri sauce and aji verde sauces taste amazing! They do charge you extra for if you order extra sauce. I'm not sure how many sauces are included cost-free, but I did get six complimentary sauces for three entrees. I ordered takeout via phone on a Saturday at 11am. The food was ready within 10 minutes. It was piping hot. The restaurant is located within a small plaza, so parking has never been an issue for me.

    This was the amount of meat in the order.

    Today will be our last time ordering from Mr. Pollo. I usually share with my 4 year old and have had enough meat in the dish to share and there was practically nothing. The Togo boxes are extremely small now as well. I understand pricing across the board has gone up but if you decide to charge more give appreciate portions. $19 for fries and veggies is absurd!

    Lomo Saltado
    Tiffany H.

    We ordered the lomo saltado and it was super flavorful! It comes with your choice of sauce and you get to select 2 of the 3 options that they have. The fries weren't really crispy but the steak was tender. Service was good and we received our food within 15 minutes. This place gets extremely packed on the weekends so try to come earlier if you decide to come in on a weekend. Would highly recommend!

    Lomo saltado pretty big portion, it matches the price of the meal which is $19.99 right now
    Meena N.

    I ordered 3 lomo saltado to go and their portions are really big. For some reason every time I order this dish at a Peruvian place I get absolutely no meat. I think this dish is pretty pricey in general across the board everywhere so for the price that they sell it I feel like I got a great deal because there was a lot of food. There is a reason why this place has over 1000 reviews and it's because the food is just that good. I can't wait to go back and try the other stuff however, the LS is so good that I'm not sure if I would be able to order anything else

    i really like the food. the staff is always so kind and they provide amazing service. the inside of the restaurant is very warm and cozy

    Second time trying Peruvian food (two places). Unfortunately both experiences have been a letdown. All of the dishes are extremely salty... The fried rice had weird ginger chunks that I didn't enjoy. The rotisserie chicken was dry. The lomo saltado's fries were soggy. Overpriced!!!

    Any gluten and dairy free option?

    Rice and chicken is gluten free..

    Do they ever answer their phone? Always going to voicemail.

    That just shows you how busy they are... busy means delicious... keep calling you will get thru! All worth it! We do it once a week!

    Is the listed phone number correct? We keep calling and it goes straight to a mailbox that is full.

    Yes, that's the correct number. I asked them about the last time I was there. They only have one line and the cashier is the same person answering the phone. They are super busy so answering the phone is not a priority.

    Do they do Apple Pay?

    Yes they do! Use it all the time when I'm there.

    Is there another number for this place? We called yesterday and the phone did not go through it kept saying mailbox is full.

    No only one

    Are they really closed on Monday's?

    Probably. Most small restaurants are.

    Some of the best chicken I've had recently came from a stop we almost didn't make at Burd Chicken…read more We were in the area for a softball tournament and by the time it wrapped up we were starving. This place happened to be on the way home, so we decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad we did. We ordered the lemongrass chicken and the crispy chicken, and both were excellent. The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. The garlic rice was another standout! Fragrant, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The plate also came with a small cup of broth, which was a nice complement to the meal, although it was a little mild for my personal taste. The only downside for us was the portion balance. A large portion of the plate is filled with raw cabbage, which makes the dish appear bigger than it actually is. While the rice portion was good, the protein felt a bit limited. We're also not big fans of plain raw cabbage, so we ended up leaving all of it behind. If it had been seasoned or lightly blanched, it might have felt more like a thoughtful side rather than filler. That said, the flavor of the chicken and the rice alone would bring me back. If you're looking for something quick and tasty, this is definitely a great stop. But if you're coming in absolutely starving, the portion-to-price ratio might leave you wishing for a bit more.

    After watching a movie at the Regal down the street, the kids and I had a late lunch at Burd…read moreChicken Rice. They have a nice variety of chicken items on the menu, some unique things like congee and burritos, and cane drinks with different flavors. There is a good amount of seats inside and a few tables outside as well. There's a cool mural on the wall in the dining area so it gives an artsy vibe. Doesn't seem like they are able to take your order person to person, you have to order on one of the the kiosks on the counter. We ordered the Mix Burd plate w/ 50% Krispy burd and 50% Classic Burd, Lemongrass Burd plate, and Classic Burrito. We also ordered the Honey BBQ Sriracha wings for an appetizer. Wings were great, sticky with a good amount of spice. I really enjoyed the ginger sauces that come with the dishes. The Classic Burrito was basically a Classic Burd plate in a tortilla. It was good, but I would prefer all those ingredients as a plate, as I like the ginger sauce with the chicken and when we put it in the burrito, sauce was just dripping through to the bottom and made a big mess. The lemongrass Burd was our favorite as it has the best flavor. The classic burd was tender and poached perfectly, but the Krispy Burd was a miss for me, it was the least favorite of everything we ordered. Instead of being Krispy, it was so hard and difficult to chew. I would just stick with the lemongrass and classic Burd.

There's plenty of seating. It's almost kind of like a mall cafeteria if you will? There's plenty of room for any size party. There's roughly 7 different restaurants all within feet of each other so you can get anything that you could possibly want! I got a hibiscus seltzer with Chamoy and Tajin. I also ordered the Smashburger combo and I gotta be honest. They're french fries are hands-down the best french fries that I have had in a very long time! My day was kind of crappy super long sat in business meetings where I was invisible. And french fries are genuinely bringing me joy lol! They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside perfect amount of salt. My drink is delicious, I haven't even had a chance to touch the brewery yet, but it looks incredible! I will definitely be back here..

For a limited time this spot is having a Cesar wrap for their summer menu so yall know I gotta try it. Not gonna lie it did take me a hot minute to get it but boy was it worth the wait. It had really good ratios of savory not dry chicken, some Parmesan cheese, crisp fresh nutty lettuce, crunchy fried tortilla chip bits, and just the right amount of flavorful umami Cesar dressing to make it yummy but not soggy all in a decently grilled chewy tortilla. Honestly might be able to compete with my all time favorite ggiata. Definitely come try it while you can tho cuz it is pretty good. Caesar wrap $15
