    Inside Restaurant
    Cristina Cici B.

    Peruvian chicken is a personal favorite, and full disclosure, I've been on a bit of a Peru-Pollo binge recently. So, I turned to Yelp to see where was the closest joint to get my fix. My choice today was the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides: fried plantain and arroz chaufa, also adding an extra side of fried yuca. Chicken: 4/5 - but probably because I panicked and didn't correct my order for dark meat, instead I kept the white meat. It wasn't too heavily charcoaled or seasoned, could possibly do with a little more seasoning but I still ate the whole thing --and skin (yeah, I'm one of those. Get over it.) The meat was tender, tore away from the bone, and doused in green sauce went down a treat. Sides: The yuca (5/5) was on point, perfectly fried but still light and fluffy on the inside. The plantain (5/5) was PERFECT, and a great contrast with the Aji Verde green sauce (packs a punch on the spicy scale, delicious!) The arroz chaufa (3/5) was okay, not the chaufa I'm used to eating; a little too oily for my liking, but that's down to personal taste. Lastly, Customer Service: 5/5. Michelle, thanks for being so sweet and taking care of me and participating in my Spanglish talk. I enjoy speaking Spanish whenever I can to make sure I don't forget how to converse in the language. The customer service alone is enough for me to stop in again (and the Latin club bangers playing whilst I waited, always a plus.) I'll definitely be coming back here again!

    Perfect Pollo was perfectly delicious. They had a little bit of everything from Tex-mex to Peruvian, so I decided to try a little bit of everything. We placed our order over the phone for pickup. When we arrived, we noticed a sign outside stating "Best Rotisserie Charcoal Wings in the DMV", so I had to add that to my order. Boy, were these wings slamming! I can taste them right now...probably the best part of the meal honestly. I also ordered the TALLARIN SALTADO DE POLLO and a side of plantains. My husband and my aunt each ordered the chicken dinners. Our meals were very filling and we finished feeling satisfied.

    1/2 Chicken Dark so good. Definitely will come back.

    After trying Perfect Pollo's Ashland location, I've been wanting to try this location and finally did today. Staff and service was good and friendly. Their food offerings are really good, even if they have more "American" sides to cater to those who don't want the spicy, flavorful stuff, than they have good, Hispanic sides. The food was great... Fried rice was awesome! Yuca was OK, just seems a lot like the frozen stuff. Chicken was outstanding! Nice and moist with good amounts of spice and flavor! Overall, it was really good... I want to return and try there chicken sub.

    It tasted exactly liked it looked. A little dry and the fries were a little wet. Nothing to write home about.

    I really was looking forward to eating here based off the yelp reviews. It may have been my fault ordering just a chicken quesadilla and some fried plantains. The fries were soggy and didn't have much flavor. The quesadilla was packed with chicken but it was a little dry and to seasoned. The plantains were just OK. It was a ball full of grease and didn't make me feel too well. I wish I just didn't eat it.

    Not enough positive hyperboles to express my feelings. I just really and truly hope that more businesses take on this model. Cleanliness, Great Food, and Great service. The peruvian style rotisserie chicken is hands down the absolute best in the area. But maaaaaaan is this place spotless. I cant believe its been open over a year. I cant even dream up a complaint... by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe turn down the radio next time "Bad to the Bone" plays? wait... but thats what the food is.... its B@D@$$$ .. right down to the bone... MMMmmmMMMmmMm.. delissshusss.

    BEST POLLO Chicken in the area! The sides are so good. Will definitely come back and maybe bring the family next time!

    From the time we walked in until we walked out of the door the hospitality was amazing. Frank the owner really makes you feel at home. The flavor and freshness of the chicken ( which are cooked every 20 minutes) were perfect. Lots of options for sides including fried rice, plantains, vegetables, French fries and salad. They also have other meal options including beef and seafood. They had a variety of sauces for dipping that were enjoyable and catered to different taste buds. Atmosphere is very casual and relaxed located of Rt 2 near the Field House. Overall great experience.

The soda fountain could have been a little cleaner. Everything was very sticky, and the tray was overflowing. The tables and around the tables were clean.. The hush puppies, biscuits, and the macaroni and cheese were the best I've ever had from a fast food restaurant. As for the chicken, it smelled amazing. Unfortunately, from my taste, I found it very salty and greasy. The chicken was well flavored, but it was just way too salty for me I also tried their banana pudding and unfortunately, once again, at least from my taste, it was lacking the right flavors. I did try their honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich I found that to be delicious So for that alone, it's totally worth a trip. I did forget to take a picture of banana pudding and the honey butter biscuit sandwich

    Fresh, Fiery Nashville Hot Chicken Worth the Wait…read more Stopped by Crimson Coward for a weekend dinner craving Nashville hot chicken, and the food did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, packed with flavor, and the spice level was spot on, just the right kick. Service was friendly, though the food took a bit to arrive. But that's because everything's made to order, which really shows in the quality and taste. The space inside is minimal, with bar tops for seating, but the outdoor seating at National Harbor adds a fun vibe with plenty of people-watching opportunities. I'd definitely come back. Great food in a lively spot makes for a perfect combo. Now I just need them to come to the Central FL Area.

    Had an opportunity to meet the owners, and attend Crimson Coward's soft opening…read more The restaurant is located in the Eagle Village shopping center, near Mary Washington and directly next door to Sweet Frog. Off street parking is ample. The restaurant is clean and spacious, with counter service. The menu has a variety of heat options available for their chicken, from "country" (no heat) to mild (a touch of heat), medium (a slap of heat), hot (feel the burn), to burn baby burn (the hottest level). My adult sons, and my son's girlfriend were in town, so there were 5 of us. My oldest son ordered the 4 piece tenders (mild), with fries and a drink, my youngest son ordered a chicken sandwich combo mild, his girlfriend ordered macaroni and cheese and fries, my husband ordered the 4 piece tenders (no heat), and I ordered the 3 piece tenders (no heat), then we split the Joey Eat Fries, which are Boneless breast, Crimson sauce, slaw, pickles, and cheese, over a bed of Crimson fries. We ordered those with our chicken mild. I'm so happy we didn't order beyond mild, because I can't take too much heat, and the mild was too spicy for me, but perfectly spicy for my husband. For those that like very spicy, you will love the heat, it packs a punch! The tenders with no heat, still were amazing! Everyone in our group were highly satisfied with the size of the chicken tenders/sandwich, and were impressed with how juicy and fresh they were, without the greasy texture. My husband is picky about his chicken tenders, and said that these were by far his new favorites in the area. My son's girlfriend said that her Mac and cheese was great, and the fries were good too. But the Joey Eat Fries were fantastic! Sooo good and more than enough for two people to enjoy; massive, and a meal of their own. The only thing that left something to be desired, was the bread. Would have been better toasted with butter, and perhaps a toasted garlic bread option. Prices were comparable to other similar establishments. We were impressed with the friendly service, speed and delivery of the food, and the quality of the meals. Their grand opening is Monday, April 1st, make sure to check them out!
