The best rotisserie chicken I've ever had! Who knew? Tucked in the corner of a tiny strip center, don't blink or you'll miss it! It's not a big place, but the flavors are big! Chicken is always moist, falling off the bone delicious! Love the green sauce and the salad, the yucca fries, everything! We need a closer location to Fort Bend county! read more

I like this location because it is bigger than the Rice Military restaurant. The parking situation is terrible. I can imagine people not dining here because they can't find parking. It is that bad. I like how they give you a piece of avocado with your Mexican rice when you order their Lomo Saltado. I recently had their Aguadito (Chicken Soup) and it was great. I almost tilted the bowl and licked it. I added 3 spoons of their Aji sauce to the Aguadito and it was just perfect. The bathrooms are very clean and the service is outstanding. There's enough waitresses and also a manager; she helps out when needed. read more

Pollo Bravo - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Winner winner chicken dinner! It's been a few years since I've had Pollo Bravo, but it's just as good as I can remember! To get to the point, clearly the chicken is the star of the show here. It's juicy, it's tender, it's deliciously seasoned. Usually when you think of rotisserie chicken you think of the kind that you buy at the deli or HEB, but the rotisserie chicken here gives those deli's a run for their freaking money. **I ordered the 1/2 chicken and it was perfect for 2 people! Sides to order: - Mexican Rice - Avocado salad: Avocado, tomatoes, onions on top of a bed of iceberg lettuce drizzled with light dressing - Nothing super fancy, but it gives nice variation to the meal. - Sweet plaintains: Perfectly fried and hot... one of my favorite side dishes. To top it all off Pollo Bravo has this bomb ass green sauce that just gives everything a kick of fire and flavor. Drizzle it all over your chicken and rice and you're in for a real treat! read more

Pollo Bravo - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Best rotisserie chicken hands down, rice is great also. The green salsa is great but hot. The sweet plantains and the green plantains are really good. read more

Yummy place! After my visit to Peru, I was craving some pollo a la brasa (Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken) so I chose to visit Pollo Bravo. We ordered the Gordo's Special (I think is what it was called) and it came with a whole chicken, large salad, rice and beans, and salchipapas. All the sides were GREAT! The salchipapas was such a nice touch and the green sauce was even better. We also really enjoyed the avocado salad because it was fresh and a great addition to the meal. The chicken could've had more pollo a la brasa flavor, which is the only reason I docked a star. The flavor wasn't as strong as it should be to be true pollo a la brasa. Now, the chicken was good it just wasn't what it needed to be to do pollo a la brasa Justice. You won't be disappointed if you order it though, it's juicy and well cooked! Also the alfajores were yummy and huge so i took some home with me. This place is also really affordable so you can feed a lot of people for cheap! read more

Great food, always quick! We always go here on weeknights when I don't feel like cooking and it never disappoints!

Ceviche was good as well as their half chicken and plantains and fries. Service could've been better since it was not busy when we went on a Saturday evening for dinner but that will not stop me from going back. read more

so we usually go to the cajun house which is always 5 star. So we tried a different place. which was Pollo Bravo even advertising on the front door said that they close at 10 and on yelp at 10pm we walked in and they said that they were closed mind you it was 9:02. I really had a taste for some plantains and some of that famous grilled chicken that I see a lot of people raving about on Yelp so unfortunately you guys get one star because you refuse to service us. if you all do close at 9 o'clock then y'all need to change on that door and on Yelp read more

Pollo Bravo - They close at 9 not 10 I guess - Peruvian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Absolutely delicious! This is really some of the best chicken I've ever had: tender and flavorful, it was delicious. The sweet fried plantains were good too, and service was great. A wonderful lunch spot! read more

Give this place a shot, you wont regret it. This is not your typical Latin American food place. Its a Peruvian food spot that apparently has some very typical food from our friends in the southern hemisphere. We started with some awesome chicken tacos covered with a green salsa, creamed, and shredded cheese. Some of the best in this city. We shared an order that came with a whole smoked chicken, beans and rice, French fries with hot dog slices (its awesome), and fried plantains. Which fed 3 guys and we had some left overs. All for 28 bucks. This chicken was awesome. I think its a smoked chicken with some great spices. The hot dog and fries were tasty, not a huge fan of fried plantains, but these were pretty good. Rice and beans... never fail. The most important part of this equation is the salsa they bring on the side. Its a green salsa that's full of flavor and spicy. Add it to everything I got and it made it exponentially better. Came out of there spending around 15 bucks a person and it was worth every penny. Check it out. You wont be disappointed read more

Pollo Bravo has consistently provided delicious Peruvian food! We love the gordo combo with the Peruvian chicken, Mexican rice, beans and maduros and it's been good every time we order it. Delicioso!! read more

I made an order for pick up since my office is so close and I love their place in Katy. When I got there, the bill was higher. I asked why and the waitress stated due to the side of salchipapa is an extra charge of 1.50. I then looked at menu and it doesn't state it anywhere, I asked for a manager. Manager was sitting down, he then proceeded to tell me that it doesn't say it but that's what it is. So I stated this is false advertisement, salchipapa is on the menu sides part but there's an extra charge?!! Manager stated if you go to Mc Donald's there's charges for substitutions...I replied I didn't substitute anything. So unprofessional, needless to say I didn't get the order and will never again go to this location. read more

Came here by accident and was pleasantly surprise. I just wanted a quick lunch after getting some bank errand done. This happened to be the only restaurant in the same plaza so it was an obvious choice and turned out to be an excellent decision! Chicken was super juicy, tender and tasty. The green sauce was spicy but godsend, so perfect with the chicken! The fried plantains were the best I've ever had!! They were sweet, tasted fresh and wasn't soggy or greasy. I have never had Peruvian food this good in CA and I'll definitely come again. They do get busy during lunch and service could be a slow, but the quality of food totally made up for it. read more

El Pollo es muy sabroso!! They live up to their motto. Of all the rotisserie chicken places i have been to in houston this one is the best.. The chicken tastes like it is marinated, the white meat which i usually get when i go alone is very very flavorful which is hard to do. The restaurarant is pretty small and usually have no problem finding a table when i go. Lunch can be busy but its understood for me that i will be the only person in the whole place who doesnt speak spanish as my primary language. On to the food. I usually get the Salad which is great. Very fresh carrots, lettuce, red cabbage, red onions and Avocados YUM ! even the house dressing is good. then follow up with either the maduros which are soft ripe plantains or tostones are green fried plantains. The chicken comes with a spicy green sauce if you need a little kick but be careful this stuff is fire. Overall a great quick bite for the easy budget. A good find. read more

The food was good and the service was ok. The salchipapa was a little weird, but interesting. I had the gordo combo and it was enough for at least 3 people. Value for your buck. I would recommend it for a nice little date. read more

The chicken is the BEST chicken I have ever had. So moist, tender and juicy! And the green sauce was amazing! I put it on everything! They could bottle it and sell. I would buy a case or two! Can't wait to go back. read more

The place is very delish. The chicken has alot of flavor and isn't dry and the green sauce is to die for. The only downside is the waitstaff. I've only been here during lunch hour and the waitstaff isn't that great. The don't refill your drink or check up on you after you have ordered your meal but it won't stop me from coming back because the food is that darn good. The rollo cake is also very good. read more

We really like their food so placed a larger order for a dinner party we're having. My husband and I had some questions about the bill and sauce and the women here just gave us major attitude and eye rolling for asking. Will not be going back to this location. read more

Everything here is so good and reasonably priced! I usually go for lunch and get taquitos dorados with fried plantains and avocado salad. Their family combos are good as well. So much delicious food and very affordable -- perfect if you're in a group and want to try a little of everything they offer. Also I must mention their GREEN SAUCE aka as the best condiment ever. Extremely good value for the quality of food. read more

They have Peruvian ceviche! I like it so much! Fresh fish, lime, onion, avocado, and toasted corn.... Delicious!!! read more

Nice little spot with excellent food and free wifi. I was going to stop at the starbucks for a meeting on the corner but it was packed. So we went around looking for wifi and luckily we found this place. It was a bit after lunch but I wanted to get something small so I wouldn't mooch of their wifi. I had the Chicken taquitos and I have to say best I've ever had. The chicken had a lot of flavor, were cooked to the perfect crispyness and this green salsa was AMAZING! read more

One of My favorite comfort food restaurant in Houston. They have the best avocado in town for real, all green and soft just perfect (I'm an avocadoaholic) always order the big side. Tostones are a MUST, the chicken is well seasoned. Try the green sauce is little hot and enhance the chicken flavor :) The service is always friendly and the place is clean. read more

Delicious food! I love Peruvian food and this place didn't disappoint me. I totally recommend it and can't wait to be back.

A good mix of Peruvian and Mexican food, of course the specialty is the chicken but they also have other tasty dishes such as ceviche, lomo saltado and my personal favorite the chilaquiles. It also offers some beverages that you don't usually find at any Latin restaurant such as jarritos, inca cola, sangria señorial and sidral mundet, but if you want to go for the classics they also have tea and coke. Also you don't wanna miss the chance to try a dessert. read more

I enjoyed the chicken here but the side of salcipapas was below par. The fries were not fresh and the sausage was dry.

Very fast service. Great food. Green plantains were fantastic. Avocado salad was good. Chicken was good, not the best. The green salsa they give you makes everything better. Will come back to try out more of the sides. $11 and change for 1/2 chicken and 2 sides. Sit down and served. Tipped. Bathroom was nice and clean. read more

Pollo Bravo has amazing food. Everything is fresh. Their avocado salad is so delicious with their dressing. The chicken has great seasonings and is juicy. My entire family loves it. read more

They have the best chicken in Houston!! Don't forget the sauce, it green with a little spice. Theit fried plantains are as moist and yummy as the chicken. If you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for!!!! read more

Great service. Recommend the chicken, green and sweet plantains, spicy green sauce and Mexican rice. Avocado salad was blahhh. Just iceberg lettuce with avocados and Italian dressing. read more

The food here it's so good, I tried the whole chicken family combo since this has a sweet plantains, salad, fries, rice and beans. I enjoy every one of them.....I could rate this place with a five starts but the air condition was set too cold and I mention that to our waitress and she said that they will set it up at temperature....after a while other customers around me started saying the same about the temperature. I had to rush to eat and leave because of that. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I get the 1/2 chicken with fried plantains and rice. The sweet plantains are also very good. The best part about their food is the green sauce. So flavorful! Some days it is spicier than others, but otherwise it is very good. If you wanna be healthier, the side salad isn't bad either. read more

I love this place so freaking much. The chicken, sides, and whatever that green sauce they bring you to put on it all are amazing. I am so sad that the location in Memorial closed down as it was the closest to me, but I'm just so relieved they have other locations. This one is just as good as the one that closed and the service is great too. Thanks Pollo Bravo!! read more

The chicken was average, lacks deep flavor and the crispy skin, clearly not worth the drive, but, the service was very good. The french fries are budget brand, taste frozen, skip them. The plantains are sweet as advertised.The avocado salad had ripe avocados, just 3 slim slices, nothing like the photo in the menu that looks like it has a large avocado sliced into about 8-10 slices. The salchipapa reminds me of once again, frozen crinkle fries from the dollar store with vienna sausage slices, YUCK. In conclusion there are much better chix places available. read more

If you're on the west side of town and you crave Peruvian chicken and that amazing green sauce, this is where you go. Also salchipapas.

I tried their famous half peruvian chicken + fried spicy cassava (yuca) + salchipapa (fries + sliced hot dog). Their green sauce was on point, just the right spice level. I didn't care too much for the sides but the chicken was excellent - tender, juicy and well seasoned. I couldn't finish the half chicken. It was definitely way better than the rotisserie chicken from heb or costco. I would say it is more similar to pollo tropical. Located right off the 59 freeway on Hillcroft. Parking is easy, it is in a small plaza. read more

The world needs more restaurants like this one: simple, delicious, affordable, and healthy(ish?). I'd go for the gordos combo to split between a few people. It's a whole chicken and several plates of sides (fries, beans/rice, plantains) for about 20.00. The chicken is delicious alone, but the green aji sauce validates this restaurants' existence. Highly recommended. read more

This is an awesome hidden gem in the back of a shopping center. Wow, the chicken is great and the service matches. Great environment, background music, Peruvian flair and wow did I mention the chicken? Will definitely be back! read more

Man am I glad I found this place on Yelp! I must say that Pollo Bravo hits a home run in price, food, quantity and service. I generally don't like white meat (don't judge me) because it's not as flavorful or sometimes I feel it's too dry, but the chicken here is the bomb! Add the green sauce and it's a party in your mouth. The sides at Pollo Bravo decent, but nothing to call home about. Overall, I did enjoy my experience and my taste buds will definitely be back. read more

Fresh, fast, and yummy Peruvian chicken! Love the family-style options for an easy weeknight meal. They also nail the green sauce! The restaurant is really cute inside as well - don't let the strip mall fool you! read more

Game day dinner for 1: quarter dark meat chicken + salchipapa as the sides (you have to add some money to substitute the 2 sides with that) with the green salsa. Nothing to rave on the chicken since there are plenty places in town to get the same kind of rotisserie chicken, although the spices on the skin is a bit different in this place. However, salchipapa is why I'd come here - crinkle cut fries and fried sausage - dip the fries in the green salsa and mayo and you're set. 1 out of the very few Peruvian restaurant in Houston. If you're a soda fan, you may want to try the Peruvian national icon - Inca Kola - a yellow, bubblegummy taste soda from Peru. read more
