Came here for the best of both worlds, chicken and seafood/fish. This place has chicken in their name so they better have good chicken. And yes their chicken did not disappoint. It was moist, flavorful and tasty. Ordered a half chicken and it comes with fries and salad. No changing those sides either. That's a bummer. Another place in the area has options for sides. But my husband enjoyed his chicken so that's good. I ordered Peruvian ceviche. It's my fave and it did not disappoint either, it was so big that I had it for three meals so I def got my money's worth. It comes with fish and shrimp and sweet potato and the soft corn and peanuts. It's very traditional and it is served in lime acid type base. It's so good and refreshing. We came in after being outside in the heat and this was perfect for me. The location is older but it's nice inside and a good amount of tables for groups and non groups. Our service was great and everyone was very welcoming. read more

Very good pollo a la brasa. This review is for delivery. I ordered via DoorDash, and the food arrived on time, hot, and reasonably well-packaged. We ordered a whole chicken, some white rice, french fries, sweet potato fries, plantains, and salad. The portions were good for the price. The fries were pretty soggy on arrival (they should have punched holes in the containers to help release the steam), but they did crisp up well in the air fryer. I thought the pollo was pretty good. Still pretty juicy, well-seasoned. Excellent yellow sauce, and the green sauce had a good kick. I think I prefer Cuenelli's, but the best restaurant is the open restaurant, and Cuenelli's closes too early. The chicken also keeps well and makes for an awesome sandwich the next day. I'll happily order from them again when I'm craving pollo a la brasa outside of Cuenelli's opening hours. read more

This must be THE place, we were trying to find the best roasted chicken in Tampa and I think we found it, we started with the ceviche carretillero mixto, it was delicious, very well balanced and seasoned, Peruvian Ceviche is one of my favorite things on earth, and this one was outstanding. My boyfriend got one of the soup and it was also sooo good, I tried a little bit and it was great! When we walked in they told us that we had to wait for the chicken at least half an hour, we decided to wait, and honestly it was sooo worth the wait, chicken was incredibly tasty and delicious! We also had to ordered one to go too.. Service is great overall, both servers on duty were so kind and on top of the table, I am definitely coming back for sure, next time I have to try their Lomo Salteado. Restaurant seems very clean, a little small but that actually made the place cozier. Best roasted chicken in Tampa. read more

Best Pollo Asado I've ever had!! I bought some food to go and it was super tasty and delicious, the Pollo asado came with French fries and a fresh salad. The place is small but has a good vibe. Service was good, just keep in mind that there's usually a long waiting time (specially on weekends) but definitely worth it. read more

AVOID! Pollo Rocoto offers 0% customer service. Very disappointing experience for the second time. I don't know why I thought to give it another try. Food wait times are EXTREMELY long. Waitress I had didn't care at all that we were waiting for a long time and she never checked on us. Restaurant is too small for the amount of tables they have inside. I tried the Jalea seafood dish which was not the greatest. Parking is the worst as we had to park at the skating rink next door. AVOID this place at all cost. Soo frustrating!! ON TOP OF ALL THIS I WAS CHARGED A credit card SERVICE AND GRATUITY WAS INCLUDED. Gratuity??For what??? Horrific service?? Ridiculous! I would STRONGLY recommend Pollo Norkys which is right across the plaza. read more

Horrible customer service. This is the second time that I ordered food and it is not ready when I went to pick it up. The girls are not friendly at all, when pointed out that they made me wait 11/2hr for my food they caught an attitude The owner didn't even care. The food is ok but I do not recommend this place. read more

This is some of the best Peruvian Chifa I've ever had. My husband and I LOVE Peruvian food and try new places as often as we can. This was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Tri Color Huancaina. It came with three different huancaina sauces. Absolutely delicious. Then we shared the Chaifa de pollo. Again, delicious and authentic. This is our new place to come when we are craving Peruvian. The service is amazing and it's a family owned place. Father son restaurants right next to each other! Great job ! read more

Pollos Rocoto - Chaufa de mariscos - Peruvian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Calling all Peruvian food lovers (and all food lovers for that matter)! This place has been around for a few months and started out by serving Peruvian style chicken. Chicken was very good. Highly recommend. Really good plantains too! But recently, Pollos Rocoto added a Chifa menu (Peruvian-style Chinese food... if you didn't know, this is definitely a thing!!). GAME CHANGER! They have some of the classics and the food has been EXCELLENT. My brother and I (always on the hunt for delicious peruvian food) have been twice now and have loved it! The Arroz Chaufa con Chancho (pork fried rice) is perfection! Tallarines Saltado con Chancho (pork lo mein-like) and Kamlu Wantan (sautéed seafood with sautéed veggies and fried Wantans with a sweet sauce) also excellent. The stand out for me is the Ti Pa Kay. If you've never had it, imagine sweet and sour chicken, but WAAAAAY better. If you've never tried (or heard of) Chifa... do yourself a favor and try this place out! It's a small place, but the service has been great and very friendly. Will be going back VERY soon!! read more

I rarely write reviews but some places truly deserve credit for their work, and I believe this is one of them. If you enjoy Peruvian food, this restaurant is a great find... High-quality ingredients. Meals are freshly prepared. Generous portions. Good presentation. Family run with personable service. Simple yet clean restaurant. Fair prices. The only problems we've found so far are that we wish we had discovered it sooner and sometimes it takes a little work to communicate (as our Spanish is about as good as some of the staff's English). Pollos Rocoto is well known for its pollo a la brasa (Peruvian rotisserie chicken), and there are so many other things that look delicious when we look around at other tables. We want to try more, but we're hooked on the ceviche and jalea (Peruvian fried fish plate) and have a hard time giving up on them to try anything else. :) If you don't normally eat Peruvian, it might be time to try. Check out their hours of operation before coming and don't be in too much of a rush. It's a small restaurant with a small kitchen -- if they are busy it might take a little while. read more

This is our second visit, the first we tried the traditional "Pollo la brasa"....because this is a good base for my wife and I as to the quality of the restaurant. It was amazing the flavors were on point and the salsas were authentically delicious. This time we ordered a "mostrito" a mix of "pollo la brasa and chaufa with salad and fries." To start the restaurant is well decorated and well laid out. It is very clean and more inviting than several other establishments we have visited. We obviously will be returning again, as well as trying out their sister full dining location Sr. Rocoto. The food yet again was delicious, the chaufa was a basic fried rice (but authentic, not Chinese buffet version) the fries and pollo were yet again perfect! read more

Best "Pollo a la brasa" that you can find in Tampa, the stuff are really nice and the prices are affordable .

This place is nasty! I would not recommend. I would post 0 stars if I could. Cashier was rather rude at that. I would find better food for money. read more

In my experience i went with my family and the food was excellent specially the Chifa. To me the Tallarin Saltado is the best in Tampa. The Chaufa was excellent the service was great.
