Deliciously amazing. Everything delivered piping hot. I could eat here everyday. Love this place

Just went for the first time last night! Food was really tasty!

This place is a gem. Super nice ladies behind the counter, great chicken, tasty sides, and an open pit BBQ ambiance makes for a memorable lunch. Definitely recommend, and I'll be back! read more

Great food at incredibly reasonable prices! They are very generous with the portions of their sides. Our favorite sides are the plantains and potatoes. read more

I'm not being racist but if you go to certain restaurants and people of that culture are eating there, you should know it's good. Well Super Chicken Rico in Aberdeen is this place. My mom and I stopped here to have lunch. I've had Chicken Rico before and remember it being good but I don't remember it being THIS GOOD!! I think Super Chicken Rico has a bigger menu but I'm not sure if they are the same conglomerate. When you walk in, you're hit with an amazing smell of Peruvian rotisserie chicken. The smoke and spices will tingle your tastes buds and make you happy you decided to stop by. I ordered the cilantro chicken with rice. I was told it would take 20 minutes. I was fine with that; wasn't really hungry but getting something to take home for dinner. My mom got a 1/4 chicken and said here try some while we waited. Wow!!! One little wing and I was like "I need more." My food came out (in about 10 mins so not as long as we thought) and I had to try some. So much for not being hungry. There were two big pieces of chicken COVERED in cilantro (love it) with the best rice I've ever had. There was enough for a little snack and two meals for me. The green sauce is great, ask for extra. (my mom doesn't like it so I took hers too! ) If you want some authentic Peruvian chicken give Super Chicken Rico a try. It may even make you say "winner winner chicken dinner!" read more

My husband and I came in just to try the place out for the first time and let me just say the food was phenomenal! We both got 1/4 chicken with rice and beans everything was well seasoned not salty and full of flavor! Looks like we will be back again read more

REQUEST ITEMIZED RECEIPT. This place is charging unauthorized gratuity without your knowledge. I'll be happy to include one; however, let me have the option. Always request an itemized receipt of your charged before you leave. read more

Working on post Super Chicken is one of those great places when it's been a long day and can swing in get food and feed the family. It's delicious every time, Chicken is flavorful and moist. The sides selection is solid. One of our go to places for grabbing dinner that isn't a burger or we don't feel like cooking. Their green beans are a family favorite I have to always get two orders of them. Great location and delicious food that will make everyone at home very happy. My two year old gets the wiggles when she smells the chicken when I walk in the door. This place will not disappoint read more

Terrible customer service. They serve a steak dish n they have no knives. I had to bite pieces of the steak in order to eat it. I asked. They don't have plastic or metal steak knives. I also asked for a substitution - beans instead of fries. No substitutes. Terrible customer service The only caveat is that food is very fresh. Every time I go to Chicken Rico, I enjoy the food because the food is fresh. But the customer service is just plain terrible read more

Good food. Decent service. Fair prices. I really enjoy the food here. I recommend the pollo saltado. My wife digs the rotisserie chicken and the lomo saltado. And although I more prefer the green chili sauce, the white sauce is really good too (could be more spicy, in my opinion). The staff is not rude, but they do seem grumpy most of the time. They don't do phone orders (big bummer), but they are pretty quick. The prices are good, especially for the portions. read more

The green sauce, my goodness the green sauce. Super Chicken Rico is not only an awesome name for a business, but an awesome business. The chicken and the green sauce (yes I mentioned it again) is such a good combination. The rotisserie chicken is perfectly executed with charcoal. I asked for rice and plantains, and got rice and beans. That'd be my knock to 4 stars. The workers weren't really in the mood to help me, but to laugh about something in Spanish and get me through the line as quickly as possible. The food though is 5 stars for sure. Nothing fancy, just simple good cooking. read more

Great prices on plenty of dishes. They have fresh black beans and plantains. The best way to describe this place would be Peruvian KFC, extremely good selection. Great for a day you don't want to cook. Affordable to try something new read more

This place has some of the best tasting, juiciest Peruvian chicken (Pollo a la Brasa) out there, so there's no argument there. I'm knocking a couple stars off for the piss-poor attitude and service of the owner and the two female workers. On my last visit, my chicken was a bit bloody (semi-bright) and it's always safer to not eat it; besides, it happens, no big deal. So I took the chicken up and the owner insisted it was safe, but he was doing it a scowl. The two ladies acted like I was crazy, too. Mind you, I had been eating here for a few months, so they know my face. When I was reluctantly given a fresh set, they short-changed me by a 1/4 chicken. I told them and the shorter-of-the-two girls was in even more disbelief (as if I was lying). She checked my bloody order and had to oblige. The taller of the two girls always has the look of hatred and discontent. I really don't know why she works there; it seems like she hates working there. She never says hi or thanks you for spending your money there; that's fine, but at least be grateful that people enjoy your food and want to keep coming back. read more

After reading the reviews on yelp, I had to try this ethnic food. I went with my fiancee and we shared the 1/2 chicken plate which comes with 2 sides. The chicken was pretty good and for sides we had corn tortillas and corn. It was all good and a pretty filling but light meal for 2 people. The place is pretty bare but it has plenty of seating. The parking area is pretty small though and consists of a few spots on an incline in front of the shopping strip. Overall pretty good and someplace we will go again. read more

This place is not Mexican--I was told Peruvian. The fried plantains were delicious, as was the 1/4 chicken, rice, and fried yucca I tried. So inexpensive yet tasty. A very simple place in a strip mall, but actual ethnic food-looking forward to trying something else on the menu. A green sauce and a mustard sauce came with the food, good. My boyfriend had the 'Big Fat Burrito' and pronounced it good, but heavy on the sour cream type sauce. Wish the menu was a little more varied, but a good find and I will be returning. read more

I definitely needed my GPS the 1st time - but it's not like you're lost or in some bizarre area that making a quick u turn will even matter to get to the place. Some parking out front - sitting is plentiful and the counter/kitchen is pushed back to the far end of the restaurant- Friendly staff/Bilingual of course- Everything looks neat and clean. There wasn't many customers but I'm coming before most get off of work and there's a couple hrs prior to standard dinner time (6pm) - I decided on take out - smells good - looks good - I didn't forget to get the "Green Sauce" - The lighter sauce is very HOTTT if that's what you like... The food is well prepared and delicious - read more

See all

You've gotta try this place. The roasted chicken is just amazing. So juicy and flavorful! And the plantains are cooked perfectly as well. The rice and beans are good too. And you can't beat $23 for a whole chicken, 2 large sides, and 2 bottled sodas! read more

I was so excited to find this place right outside of APG. Thanks Yelp! Aberdeen isn't exactly the gourmand's paradise, and this is a welcome addition to the lunch roundup. I had the chicken Rico sub, which is chicken, cheese, red onions, bacon, and sauce. The sauce is a great smoky/sweet BBQ-type sauce. It was a great sandwich. I will probably add lettuce and tomato next time. I asked for rice and beans instead of fries, and they upcharged me, but it was worth it. The rice and pinto beans were flavorful and delicious, and reheated well when I wanted to eat more later. The sub is two halves of an 8 or 9-inch, fairly large, cut in half and served in a styrofoam container with the rice and beans. It's a good amount of food- I ate it for lunch and dinner. They included two side sauces with my sandwich- a white and a green. White is slightly spicy, green is medium spicy. Price was reasonable at $7 for the sandwich plus a $1 upcharge for substituting rice/beans for the fries. Service could have been a bit friendlier, but no real complaints. Will definitely be back. Can't wait to try the plantains and yuca! read more

Best spot for lunch in the area. Get here early because it gets busy around 1130. Don't bother with anything else on the menu just get a quarter or half chicken. The sandwich also takes forever if that's what your wanting so be prepared. read more

Super Chicken Rico - Half chicken with rice and beans - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

There's a cruel fact of life that not too many people are willing to acknowledge or admit and that is the food in Aberdeen - in general - sucks. To make matters worse, Belcamp is practically a food desert so lunches are tough for me. I've never had Peruvian food before so I don't have a baseline, but I do know good food. My latest pregnancy has caused me to develop a regular craving for ethnic cuisine. When I saw the yelp reviews for this place, I knew I had to go. Popped in to Super Chicken Rico at 12 pm on a Thursday and the line. was. long. Aside from the ladies working the counter, I was the only female in the place. Clearly, all of the employees on APG and students at the nearby tech campus are clued in to the awesomeness that is SCR. All around me were nerdy guys talking about electronics and programming and networking, but luckily the line moved fast. When I got to the front of the line, the woman behind the counter grabbed a whole chicken and butchered it quickly into quarters. Her tongs hovering above, she asked what I wanted for lunch. I ordered 1/4 chicken, Mexican rice, and plantains and paid $7 and some change for it. Didn't get a soda although I probably should have. I'd never had plantains before and was super excited but I thought they were overrated. I was hoping they'd be.. crunchier.. they were mushier than expected, and I just didn't really care for them. Next time, I'm going for the cabbage. The rice was tasty but the real star of the show was the chicken - as it should have been. Very flavorful, moist, cooked perfectly - exactly what rotisserie chicken should be. The seasoning really hit the spot and satisfied my ethnic craving. To make it even more amazing, they served it with a side of delicious yellow something. The green something (I read a prior review - jalapeno puree? No wonder it burned my face off.) was too spicy for me so next time I'm going to do what the guy in front of me did and ask for two yellow sauces, no green. And believe you me, there WILL be a next time. :) read more

LOVE this place. Anytime I'm in town for work, I make sure to get a meal here. The chicken is out of control delicious. Don't be turned off by the hole-in-the-wall location or lack of bells and whistles. This is some of the best food in Maryland! And so cheap! Understand that you're getting a meal for less than $10, so there isn't real cutlery or cloth napkins. This is blue collar food and it is the BOMB. I recommend getting a meal, with chicken and the green beans and plantains for sides. Get both sauces on the side. read more

The lomo saltado is fabulous here! Tender & flavorful steak with yummy rice, fries and the fried plantains are very delicious. I had to take a star because when I ordered previously they subbed my fries for yucca because they were all out of fries. I wouldn't have minded a subsitution but they didn't even give me the option to choose and I'm not a huge fan of yucca. Still a very good place to eat, reasonable prices and one of the very few places in Aberdeen worth checking out. read more

Well I hope I don't get sick because they gave me rotten Black beans but not only that the lady that answered said she was the manager said that she would give me a "free" side next time wich is not free at all I paid for it I said you should give me a chicken to wich she laugh at me and said no any way I know she is not the manager unless the kind gentleman that is usually there got fired or quit I will go tomorrow and try to talk to him I will post the resolution of this matter I'm starting to feel sick I hope you guys don't go through this read more

Super Chicken Rico - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

Ok, so I will have to say that the selections in Aberdeen are not the greatest, so I kept looking. This is exactly why I love Yelp!! You can find the little hidden gem that is so unassuming. I ordered the 1/4 chicken white with the plantains and red potatoes. I got asked which dipping sauce I want, a green or a white to which I promptly said yes! I could've eaten the food there as they have ample seating, but had just been across the street at the Beverage Barn, so took my to go meal back to the hotel to discover the abundance of taste I could tell I was in for just from the aromas of my bag. Oh my! These flavors are so delish!! The spices on the toasted chicken are amazing!! Dip it into the green sauce and POW another wealth of flavor!!! The red potatoes have just the right amount of spices and the plantains just melt in your mouth and are oh soooo good!! I will be headed back here in this trip if I can pull it off, if not then next time for sure. I would recommend this to anyone. I just wish my stomach was big enough to order more!!! read more

With limited choices for lunch, I was thrilled after my first experience here. I got the quarter chicken meal with two sides and drink for $7.00. My side were rice and plantains. They have a lot of other sides to choose from. It was so DELICIOUS!! They give a lot of food for the price. I want to try the big fat burrito next. read more

The food is great!!! I normally always get the half chicken meal with two sides!! My two side are normally cabbage and plantains. They have yellow rice, rice with chicken, yuca, mixed veggies, beans and I believe there is one more side I'm forgetting. But all in all this is a must try if you are close to APG!!! read more

The only Peruvian Food place in Harford county I guess. Chicken is good and sides are good too. You can get a whole fish fried too.

I'm somewhat taken-aback by how overrated all these Yelp reviews are. The audience in Aberdeen is easy to impress. I've eaten 5-star Peruvian food. This is not it. But it's probably the only decent Peruvian food option for 20+ miles, so it fulfills a purpose dutifully. The food options are decent. Peruvian dine-in/take-out restaurants in MD follow a very similar model, line-up and fill your plate or styrofoam box with chicken and sides. Get a drink and you're good to go. The chicken is good but not great. The sides are very disappointing as the Yuca is generally very dry and tasteless, the plantains are not given in sufficient proportions, the mixed veggies are bland...it's disappointing overall. But as said, it fulfills a purpose. The bathroom is okay. Seating is limited for lunch rush. The parking options are limited but sufficient most of the time. The atmosphere is acceptable. Remember folks, 5-stars is supposed to be the best you can get. With affordable prices, this place is worth visiting once every other month. But there are so many better options for Peruvian food throughout MD and DC. read more

Always a sure thing, food is always amazing. We had planned on using a Groupon and eating at Chicken On The Roof but we walked in there, took a look around then walked out and high tailed it to Super Chicken Rico. read more

Super Chicken Rico - 1/2 Chicken, Braised Cabbage and Mexican Rice - Peruvian Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

Nothing special if you've ever been to any type of Super, King, Supreme, or Grande Pollo. Good Peruvian style chicken at a cheap price. I got 1/2 a chicken, 2 sides, and a soda for $11. This place only had one channel on the TV, which was tuned to a soccer game. It's across the street from a shady motel, in the not-so-nice neighborhood, but it felt safe. It's the only type of Peruvian chicken place in the area though, so you won't find much better. I've heard this chain is one of the originals though, so I gotta give it props for that. read more

Placed an order over Yelp, waited and drove there to be told they're out of chicken and I have to call grub hub to cancel order. Would have been nice if they called or at least answered their phone. read more

Very good hole in the wall. I tried the half chicken with a side of rice and beans. The chicken was excellently seasoned and cooked. The seasoning blend had cumin and maybe some paprika also and it was incredibly moist. Although sometimes the sides at a place like this are underwhelming, I have to say this wasn't the case here. The rice and beans were a perfect side. It was also well seasoned and moist without being too wet or dry. Honestly, for the price and quality, you can't beat it in this area. read more

Look, I'm not a food snob. I'm the furthest you can probably get from it--if it tastes good, didn't make me sick, and didn't cost me my first born, I consider it a winner. That said, Super Chicken Rico hits all of those points. The food is very good--if you haven't had Peruvian chicken, go somewhere else first so you can come here and taste what it should be. The 1/4 and 1/2 chicken specials are a very good value for what you get. The sandwiches are delicious. My only advice? Get there early--boy does it get crowded at 12PM. read more

Having had phô for lunch, I thought why not try the other place in town I've been wanting to find (it's hidden in a strip mall), and I wound up with their Lomo Saltado, which is beef with onion and tomato over rice and french fries. They didn't have the ceviche ready, but that's okay. Maybe it's because I haven't had any Peruvian or Cuban food since I left Georgia but I found the food here to beexcelltent :) The steak just melted and was as tender as it could get. The veggies complemented everything well, and by the time I finished there was little left. There's another Super Chicken Rico down the road on the way to Edgewood; I'l try them later in the week or next weekend, for a comparison. read more

Amazing chicken, Fatty Side orders. A food lovers combination. However if you want healthy order just the chicken or just keep driving down the road. This place gets really busy at lunch. If you have the time to order and leave, enjoy at home or at office. If not, eat there, although seating is cramped and limited. read more

My go to place other than Carsin's Run while I lived in Aberdeen. The owner here is very genuine and friendly. The chicken here is roasted the Peruvian way. If you are looking for something good and in the mood for some ethnic food. This is your place. Let's be real though, it is 4 stars for Aberdeen. It may hold a candle to the other Peruvian restaurants, but if that was the case the review would be 3 stars. read more

Loved it! Chicken is the best! Yellow rice and beans great and Inca Kola is so tasty!!! Don't forget the green sauce!! read more
