This is a restaurant that I LOVE going to. The food is delicious and you can taste the love and care put into each bite.. The atmosphere is welcoming, traditional as well ...the restaurant is owned and ran by the family. When you walk into the restaurant, you are greeted & welcomed with a smile. There are televisions in-house and music is playing to further your experience/enjoyment. I love their , fried plantains, yucca fries and I love their chicken bowl, which is great when you are needing a fast meal on the go. read more

Latin, not TexMex or American Mex. More authentic dishes and flavors that hit the spot when you want a meal with authenticity. Our server was fast and helpful too. They could use more soft drink options, and a soda fountain instead ov expensive canned soft drinks. read more

Pollos Tete - Arroz Chaufa - Peruvian Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

This is simply the best spot to get food in Jacksonville, NC. The food is always on point plus the owners and staff are top tier. I have to restrict myself to ordering only once a week! The Saltado and the Chauffa are my favorites. 12/10 read more

Ever since I discover Pollos Tete I have been very loyal to come here every time I crave some good South American food. They are excellent at recreating and putting their own touch to the Peruvian dishes they offer and their desserts are pretty good. Service is very fast and they are very attentive. Its a family ran business, so the owner herself or her son will take your order, cook and serve your food. I really really enjoy the taste of the food and you can tell they put effort every single time, making their dishes look good and presentable. If you'd like to try my favorite I love the Lomo Saltado with extra meat, no fries and maduros instead, for the drink I match with a Tamarindo Jarrito and I use only the yellow sauce on the maduros and the rice. 10/10 every time! Enjoy! read more

Pollos Tete - Lomo saltado with extra meat, no fries and maduros instead. My favorite dish - Peruvian Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Best food in my opinion always courteous and prompt Lynn as always thank the pollos team

I wish I could describe the taste of the food. There is so much flavor packed into a single dish. I got a steak rice. It reminds me of fried rice with the veggies but the spices of South American food. The best mess of Asian meets South American dish. Besides, they got almost a perfect score from the health department. The ladies working are on top of cooking. There's minimal wait. The only thing negative I have to say is the plastic silverware. That uses real plates but plastic utensils. It's a great place to enjoy some Peruvian styled foods. Try it out you won't be disappointed. read more

Our first time here, the place is very clean and well maintained. The employees are friendly. Chicken fried rice is very delish. Unfortunately the plantain was not very good, they were hard and dry. read more

So we were hungry not wanting to leave the house. I saw pollos tete had 4 1/2 stars from Yelp (which is hard to come by in our Jacksonville community) so i was anxious to experience it. I DoorDashed it. It got here super quick and it was hot. Full of flavor! Crispy chicken! And I thought I'd just be getting some regular degular black beans. Nope. Seasoned really greatly and every bite good! The thank you stickers were a nice touch too. The hot sauces were pretty tasty. The mild one being our favorite it's kinda a mustard base where we get a tomatillo reference for the green one. read more

Love the food here, great flavor and always hot and fresh. Service is great, they make you feel at home when you come here .

We just finished the most delicious meal at Pollo Tete and encourage anyone looking for full rich flavor of perfectly prepared food to try anything on their menu. The fries are hand-cut and crispy, the plantains were sweet with scrumptious charred bits, the yucca was soft inside with a thin crunchy coating. I don't normally like the dessert Flan but this one was excellent if you love caramel. It's a little place with informal ambiance but you don't have to order at the counter- you can be seated and be waited on. The service was attentive and friendly. It stood out to me that he didn't ask if everything was good... he asked if it was perfect! They must get that a lot because it's our new favorite place to eat in Jacksonville! read more

3 is being nice. All these raves about the chicken. It was a rotisserie chicken. It was bland. None of it fell off the bone. The black beans were... black beans. The rice was... rice. There was nOthing special here. Even the fries were soggy with zero salt. Plantains? One bite. Equally just unImpressed. I know it's Monday and I ordered before dinner orders so I got the B team but I could've done better in my sleep. Snoozefest . Quality ingredients with zero love applied. DoorDash delivered in an orderly fashion. It's going to my dogs. read more

The customer service was awesome. Two very nice ladies were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is immaculate and you can see the kitchen from the seating area. Everything is spotless and they are extremely sanitary. If they are allowed they may eventually put up a screen, like another restaurant on their strip. The chicken is well seasoned. Do not expect a crispy skin but it is delicious. My little ones thought the fries were too big but that was only a complain to get dessert. They loved the rice pudding (arroz con leche). Especially, after they dated each other to try the hot sauce. I loved both sauces and used both while eating my 1/4 chicken meal. I love my plantains ripe, soft, and sweet. These were firmer and therefore more savory. I'd go back. read more

If I was on death row the chicken chaufa would be my last meal. This place is delicious and service is excellent.

Chicken is AMAZING here! The lomo saltado and rotisserie chicken are must haves. The yellow and green sauces are hard to choose from because both pair well with the food. Cashier is also super friendly. read more

First time I came here and it was really delicious. My husband and I had lomo saltado and Eating it reminded us of how much we missed it .living in Cali all my life and since I gotten to the east coast wasn't able to find any good Peruvian food but this restaurant met all my expectations ,would recommend coming here . read more

Got the half chicken and didn't regret it some of the best food I've ever sat down and ate I will say the service and food are 10 out of 10 will be coming back read more

The food is excellent and portions are satisfying but it's no five-star dining experience! Plastic flatware, simple Latin decor, and a beverage cooler don't tamper the friendliest cashier and server. It's clean with a lively soundtrack playing. Jacksonville lacks a lot of yummy options but this place is at the top of my list now! So flavorful! We loved the pollo Saltado and dipping sauces. If your iffy - this place was definitely worthwhile. Can't wait to try something new off the menu next time. read more

I had the pollo ala brasa , it was not good at all . No good seasoning on it and tasted like it was microwaved , I know good Peruvian food cause I'm originally from New Jersey . I decided to roll the dice and try it here , big mistake . After the chicken I went straight to the toilet . NOT good Peruvian food on my opinion! read more

I love this place. The charcoal chicken is great. They have potatoes and plantains (and perhaps other) side dishes. The workers were friendly and helpful and explained the food choices. Prices are reasonable however they are lacking ambience. You can order to go. Try the Aztec cola. It's different. read more

We tried this today and its the best Peruvian food around! Lots of flavor and great portions.

Excellent food and friendly service. My husband had what was like fried rice with chicken and and was very good tasting. Lots of flavor! I had 1/4 chicken with white rice and plantains. Everything was cooked well and perfectly seasoned. read more
