    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.

    Very Peruvian place. Tastes very good. Casual. . ....in a strip mall next to a bunch of other Latin countries restaurants.

    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 !

    Hands down the best chaufa in the Tampa Bay Area. The ceviche and causas are also spectacular. Small and cozy restaurante that takes you on a delectable trip to the heart of Peru. Excellent service too!

    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!!

    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!

There isn't much parking in the front, but there's a sign letting you know there's additional parking in the back. The restaurant looks small when you first walk in, but there's actually more seating off to the right, on the other side of the bar. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and inviting. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious! We also tried the sangria, and I must say--it's the best I've had in the Tampa Bay Area by far! There's also a picturesque little spot with stuffed llamas that's perfect for photos. mI was told they have a live band two days a week, and I would definitely love to go back and experience that! I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be going back. Everything we tried was delicious, but the steak, Patacones Rellenos, Tallarín Verde, and grilled octopus are a MUST-TRY!

I was trying to order fish ceviche only, but when I checked Uber Eats, the only available option was the seafood mix, which I cannot order because I am allergic to the seafood included in it. I called the restaurant back and asked to speak with a manager. Instead of trying to accommodate the situation or find a reasonable solution, I was repeatedly told that they could not take my order and that I would have to physically come inside and wait for it. What made the experience even more frustrating is that the person I spoke with identified herself as Kimberly, while the receipt shows the name Maria. I would like clarification regarding this discrepancy. Overall, the customer service was extremely disappointing and unnecessarily difficult. I would appreciate a call from the manager or owner of the restaurant to discuss what happened and why a simple order could not be accommodated, particularly when I was trying to avoid an item that could cause an allergic reaction.

Our server was also very attentive and nice, checking on us and getting our food out quickly. The restaurant is small, but it had a good amount of patrons when we went on a Sunday afternoon for some lunch. It is very clean and modern inside, the decor was nice. If you're looking for some legit Peruvian food in Tampa, this spot is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back for sure.

Unfortunately the service was not great during this visit and our waitress was no where to be found most of the time to take our order or to bring the check. She also split our orders incorrectly and had to redo our receipts. I ordered a house salad and I don't know why but they added feta cheese and then charged me to add it. I explained this and they did remove it. None of these things were a huge deal but the amount of time that passed waiting and trying to get the attention of our waitress was horrendous. We were there over 2.5 hours. That being said usually the service is fine so maybe it was just a bad night.

I ordered a whole rotisserie chicken to go. I think in all, it was about $16 - $17. It was about half the cost of a whole chicken I had bought a few days earlier that was cooked over coals. So, in price comparison, this was better. But, for the price, you are only getting a whole chicken with no sides or drinks. It came with two sauces on the side. The chicken was moist and had good flavor, about what you would expect from a rotisserie chicken. The sauces were ok, but nothing I was wild about. Overall, I would go here again. While the style of the cook was Peruvian, I didn't taste anything different/unique about the chicken except for the sauces, which were merely ok. If you live closer to a big box store and regularly eat rotisserie chicken , I'd go and get their rotisserie chicken as that is roughly 1/3 of the cost of this.
