Well the chicken was tasty and very hot. I got the coleslaw and it didn't have a very good taste I also got the Fried rice that didn't have much flavor at all the rice was still crunchy it need to be poked longer. They only serve two types of sauces they are both made with mayo the first one is very spicy and the other one is kind of sweet. I asked of something different but I was told that it was a Peruvian style chicken and that's all is served. I personally isn't like mayo on my chicken ow if they had bbq sauce the chicken would have got three start. read more

The chicken is really good but the sides were not what I expected, arroz chaufa had so much oil and not enough soy sauce it was white , they gave me cold fries but were willing to remake after I spoke to the supervisor, yuca was fresh and tasty and the chicken was good but I feel like next time I should only get the chicken. Originally I wanted salad but it was pre made and it had onions and they were not willing to make one without the onions. read more

I love southwest chicken wrap and fried plantains. The service is always friendly and the food is always quick. The ladies in my office love their salads. read more

I was in the neighborhood for a client meeting and wanted a quick bite. Clean, cozy establishment with plenty of comfortable seating. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The yucca were nice and hot. But not as crispy as I like them to be. They have your standard green hot sauce and mild yellow sauce. Service is very good here. Super nice and attentive. Prices are standard. Parking is easy. read more

Positive: Clean and new Friendly service (If not highly motivated or well trained.) Negative: The food just doesn't taste that good. The chicken skin was so unremarkable that I decided it wasn't worth the calories and didn't eat it. At a place like this, the skin should be the whole point! I got there at 6:15 PM on a weekday. The parking lot was full. There should have been a line, but I was the only one there---what does that tell ya'? I ordered a quarter dark. Instead of taking a chicken off the grill and chopping it in front of me, the guy just grabbed a chicken leg from somewhere beneath the counter, from a warmer drawer, presumably. (Ahem!) I ordered plantains and cole slaw, but none of the hot sides were ready. So my chicken leg sat in a styrofoam container on the counter for 10 minutes while the plantains were being fried. As a result, I ended up with plantains that were too hot to eat, chicken that was cold, and cole slaw that was so insipid and soupy, it wasn't worth eating. Nothing about this meal was satisfying. It's back to Sardi's for me! read more

Good food and great service. I also like that the restaurant is always clean. My favorite is the mixed grill choices, steak is always tender and flavorful. The chicken is moist and seasoned just right. The employees are welcoming and is just one of the reasons I come back. read more

I would really give this spot a full 4 stars but the staff could be a little friendlier. The food is great! I've had the lamb chops and always order the Pollo Saltada. So I've been here at least 4x's and the older female isn't all that friendly and the younger one isn't that much better. The price is a little high...I wouldn't mind a smile or a greeting or a thanks for coming. But whatever. read more

Terrible food on a takeout order. The chicken and plantains were burned. The chicken was so burned that our dog nearly choked on the crispy skin! There are other options for Peruvian in this area, so we will go to those and never come here again. read more

Would give it more stars but to pay $3 for a small 16oz tea is insane. Sorry this is every bit of $2 everywhere else.

Loooved the unique Peruvian taste of the chicken. The sides were delicious especially the fried Yuca, a bit oily but delectable. The place is squeaky clean and staff were friendly. Will definitely go back. A must-try restaurant! read more

I really and truly wanted to like the food at this place. It's a stone's throw from my home. Not many decent take out options in the area. I was hoping for the best. The place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon. Not a good sign. As others have said, the chicken is bland. I figured out that one of the main ingredients in the tastiest of Peruvian chicken is cumin. I didn't taste any. I guess this place wants to be different. Different ain't good in this case! I forget what sides I had because they weren't memorable either. On the bright side, service was much more pleasant than at my other fave spots. I guess they gotta have something going for them. I don't think this place will be around long unfortunately. read more

Really happy with the chicken and the veggies that I just ate. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal at a reasonable price, check them out. The owner is very nice, and will take great care of you. read more

I have ordered from here a few times and every time my food is not good at all. It's been awhile, so I decided to give them another chance. Today, January 27, 2021 I ordered a half of chicken with two sides. The chicken was soooooooo dryyyyyyyyy. I threw that shit in the trash........I'm done. I will never ever eat there again. read more

Delicious Peruvian Chicken. Sides were very good as well. I got the mixed veggies; zucchini, carrots, broccoli in a light but savory sauce, cooked just right. The plantains were sweet, actually the best I've had. Ample portions--had to get a to-go box home. Pleasant staff & close to home! read more

The chicken is not bad but when you compare it to Sardi's, El Pollo Rico and some other Peruvian chicken places this chicken is not impressive. It's just not seasoned as well as other places. The sides are not as good either. The prices are pretty expensive too. I was not impressed at all. read more

I have grown to not like this place. It was good at first... but as its growing it becomes pricer... like seriously. I love food and i dont mind paying but this place lately is over doing iton prices. Like i ordered a medium yuca 5pieces for 2.99, really thats unnecessary. I feel like if someone asks for more sauce thats cause they know they gonna use it dont charge more for it. I would recommend Sardis anytime rather than this place. read more

I've had a lot of Peruvian chicken, but this was my first time here. Ordered online for pickup; process was relatively simple and received text confirmation. Food was decent. The reason I'm rating only 3 stars is because of the pricing. Maybe they recently changed their prices? Problem is their website (and brochures in-store (I picked one up when I picked up the order)) show the old pricing, but when you order online the prices are much higher. I ordered the Family Chicken Special - Fiesta for 4. It's 28.99 on the website and brochure, but $35.99 online. I ordered two additional sides for $4.99 each, assuming I was getting large sides (there was only one choice online), but instead received sides half the size of the sides included with the special (attaching a picture). Not a very good value for $5 each! Anyway, I just feel like if you change your prices then you need to update your website, brochures, etc, so that the prices are clear. Otherwise, it feels like false advertising! read more

Pollo Cabana - Apparently this is old pricing, but it was on a brochure in-store and is listed on their website (as of today 11/11/2020). - Peruvian Near Me - Greenbelt, Maryland

See all

Good food, very good yucca, but a little pricey for what you get. Service leaves much to be desired. Not very friendly, and always forgetting items from my to go order and then asking for my receipt to prove that I paid for it. Every time. If it wasn't for it's convenient location I'd probably have stopped going after the third time we played this little game. read more

Great food and great service! The fried rice is delicious and the portions are generous. Will definitely be back.

My disclaimer to this review is that I am biased to Pollo Cabana. I know the owners quite well. However, that's what makes Polla Cabana and it's team great. I needed a complex catering order and after some polite deliberation, they delivered; figuratively and deliberately. Ever since then, Pollo Cabana has been the goto caterer for most of our events. We typically get the chicken, arroz y frojoles, plantains, and salad. Everyone loves it because it's ethnic or unethnic at the same time. read more

In my early twenties working as waiter and attending college we used to get customers in our restaurant who'd complain about the slightest things. They were picking on everything no matter what you brought them, whether if it were drinks, texture of the BREAD, salads, and so on was never good enough. I know you know what I'm talking about :-) So the people who have given this restaurant a poor rating fall into that category of people. They are maybe never happy about anything and in this case, I know they are wrong about Pollo Caban and I think they should check their taste buds. My colleagues and I were attending a meeting in the area and we stopped by Pollo Cabana. THIS PLACE IS OFF THE HOOK!!! We usually go to Super Chicken near Tyson's Corner and we like their chicken but man...this restaurant's chicken falls off the bone!!! Everyone in our group got different side dishes and we shared it and boy did they taste great. So glad we were able to taste everything on the menu. So ignore those who have given this place a poor rating and go try it. Believe me; you'll kill that chicken in a minute! read more

The chicken was perfectly cooked with excellent seasoning on the skin. They also provide two dipping sauces including one that's hot!

Sardis and Crisp & juicy don't hold a candle to this place. Love their flavorful not overcooked yuca (Sardis is yuck!) and crisp and juicy rotisserie. Prices are totally reasonable, unless your point of comparison is McDonald's. But it's terrible that they are right next to la fitness. I can smell the goodness while attempting to work out, which seriously derails my workout.. Still, please stay:) read more

All I can say is yumm... I always get the steak burrito with green and white sauce or the steak bowl they are always nice and their choice of juices are delicious too :) read more

The food is great, very tasty, but the service sucks. the lady got my order wrong twice and refused to correct it.

This place is amazing! One of my favorite places in the DMV area. Their food is simply delicious, well prepared, fresh and evenly balanced in portion area. Superb customer service, the two ladies at register are extremely attentive and go above and beyond to explain items on the menu. For me this place is Greenbelt's hidden gem and should not be passed upon. It's perfectly located next door the LA Fitness gym. If you're health conscious like I am, then this restaurant will offer a variety of selections to meet your food choices. Continue to be consistent with your service. read more

The staff was friendly. I got carry-out. The chicken was okay. I did have the strip steak and that was delish. I also liked their fried rice which had pieces of chicken in it. The veggies were good and the Yuca fries had not been freshly cooked which made them dry and tough-like. They had quite a few customers when I went in. I will go back and try something else. read more

I'm surprised at the reviews. I love this place. There aren't many take out places in the area, and I'm glad there is finally a good place! I've tried the chicken and the wraps and found both to be flavorful and good! The place is clean & the staff is friendly which is hard to come by. read more

So I think everyone deserves a second chance, so I went back to Pollo Cabana today. I have to say it is much better than when I originally went there in 2012. The rice and beans were good -- not dry like last time -- and the chicken was moist as well. Its not earth shatteringly good, but good enough that I will go back again. The staff was very friendly and quick, and the place is very clean. My only complaint is the price. For Greenbelt, this place is very pricey, and that's the main reason that I may go back once every 3 months or so rather than once a week, which is how often I would ideally like to eat Peruvian chicken for lunch. Pollo Cabana -- drop the price to something more reasonable, and you will have a weekly customer. read more

What a pleasant surprise tucked away in this sprawling strip mall! I was in the area for work travel and visited this little gem x2! The salads are delicious - chicken is amazingly moist. Don't forget to try a desert - the rum cake is fantastic! read more

Sardi's is much, much, much better! Also, do yourself a favor and DO NOT order a chicken quesadilla at this Peruvian restaurant (what was I thinking?). It's on their menu, but it was awful. I literally threw it away because it tasted so bad. read more

What a gem! We were starving and driving on 295 when we turned off to find a place to eat... The name intrigued us so we stopped for dinner. The staff was super friendly and helped us order... The food was SUPURB, authentic, and all HOME MADE! My super picky classically trained gourmet chef husband was super happy and even wanted to go back and order a quesadilla while we were still in the parking lot! Don't waste your time in this shopping center going to any of the fast food chains... Give this place a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

This place has spicier green sauce compared to Sardi's but what this eatery has in spice it lacks in flavor. The chicken was so-so! I would pick sardi's hands down. The yucca were quite large in individual size and the plantains were alright. The employee who waited on my order was quite friendly. read more

Excellent food and service. Overall it's just one slight notch below Sardi's but I'm happy to eat here any day.

They fell very short, the roasted chicken was ok, I've had better, the black beans lacked flavor it desperately needed and their mixed veggie side was completely bland. I wish I had chose another lunch option but I didn't... read more

Ignored the other reviews and tried this place. I agree with the others saying the food was bland. I had the half chicken and it was below average. It was also dry and overcooked. Vegetables were also overcooked and dark brown. Does this merit one star? Not necessarily, but when I went to use the bathroom to wash up a ROACH ran across the floor in front of me. Not much else will make me lose my appetite faster.... read more

Long wait time. I waited 20 minutes for an order of fries. Just for them to forget to put fries in the bag. I will never return

I had the 1/2 chicken (dark), rice & beans, and fried plantain. It was excellent. Chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, fried plantain was plump, and the rice and beans were hearty. Also had some yuca fries with the yellow sauce and that was also very hearty and delicious. Prices are also very good. You will be full and then some with a date/partner for under $25. read more

Best Peruvian chicken in the area. Make sure you get the yuca, coleslaw, fries and plátanos are good too! 4 stars because they can be stingy with the sauces. You have to pay a little extra for additional sauces, but you need to get it because it is bomb. The chicken is always cooked very well! read more

I stopped by this past weekend with my daughter for lunch. We shared the Ranchero Salad and a small fry. The salad was delicious. My two year old couldn't get enough of it. The fact she ate the salad over the fries says it all! The fries were very good too though. The chicken that was in the salad was very good and I look forward to trying the rotisserie chicken on its own at a future visit. The rest of the ingredients in the salad were fresh and delicious. The place was clean and not extremely busy, though it was Memorial Day. Service was fast and friendly. I absolutely plan to come back and I think my daughter as well is looking forward to sharing that salad with me again! read more
