Yummmm! Might be the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. It was soooooo flavorful! We ordered the whole chicken with rice, beans, and fries. I really liked their beans! We got creative and picked up some tortillas and made our own salsa at home to make tacos :) and it might've been one of the best meals we've had! Oh, can't forget to comment on the aji sauce. Bomb! read more

Toyitos Chicken - Whole chicken with rice and beans. Salsa is homemade! - Peruvian Near Me - Downey, California

This small non-descript place serves up one of the most delicious and rotisserie chickens ever. The owner is a sweet tiny Japanese lady from Peru who speaks perfect Spanish. read more

I've been looking for a good rotisserie chicken spot and found this place. I am so glad I gave it a shot. The chicken is so good and not dry at all. I got the 1/2 chicken and for my side I chose beans. The beans were delicious as well. Will definitely be coming back to this place. read more

This hidden gem in my neighborhood has been serving great quality Peruvian food for a few years now. Their menu does not have much of a selection but everything they have is excellent! The Peruvian style roasted chicken is top notch. The chicken soup "aguadito de pollo" is my all time favorites. Salad and fries are always served fresh--all for reasonable pricing. Although this place is small with only a couple of tables inside (temp closed due to Covid), its main operation focuses on take-out, thus, it gets busy during lunch and dinner times. My only issue about this place is when I ordered over the phone, they don't actually fill your order until you get there (probably for good reasons). So when you come to pick up your meal, you could wait almost the same amount of time as if you were walking in. The owner is always nice and even helpful when I thought I lost my phone. I actually left it at home, but she's gone out of her way to help me find it. A plus in my book! Highly recommended! read more

This is the closest it will get to authentic Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa!! Usually come here at least once every 1-2 weeks. Yum! read more

This place has the best Chicken in town , I've tried other Peruvian places they could never top their Pollo a la Brasa taste is legit , the flavor and texture is always perfect . Their green ají is the best as well . read more

I cannot Believe this place I went to get some chicken and considering the very touchy health situation we're going through, you would think they would be a little bit more careful Healthwise I saw the cook preparing my chicken with no mask sweating and touching everything without any protection only one glove. I love their food but this is too much I ask the cashier why is the cook without any protection and she JUST REPLY HE ISN'T Sick Like if she's an expert on who can be sick or not Regardless we're dealing with the general public And one person specially that cook can get many people sick, if she happens to be wrong about him being not being sick... It's IRRESPONSIBLE ANYWAY YOU SEE IT SPECIALLY NOW with the CORONA VIRUS BEING SOOO CONTAGIOUS I did not buy the food and went home WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT PEOPLE BE AWARE YOUR HEALTH IS EVERYTHING read more

Don't go to this place!!!! Chicken looks and tasted like boil nothing like our pollo a la brasa. The girl even asked me : did you ask for pollo dorado?. Wtf what kind of question is that!!! I was born and raised in Peru if you ordered a pollo a la brasa you'll get the chicken doradito. This chicken was nothing close to doradito. Not worth it!! Son buenos para cobrar pero el producto no valió la pena read more

They close at 7 NOT 8 now! But nonetheless, been coming here for years. The chicken is so moist and they have the best fries and aji! Sad I showed up and they were already closed for the night! read more

Nice family place. Tuesday special to go all day. Great deal ... chicken is flavorful and juicy ... better than El Pollo loco. Love the fries too read more

One word "MOIST" ! This chicken is so moist and tender. Just need a lil more seasoning internally or in the skin and it will be the best chicken ever made in the entire earth. read more

Chicken is juicy and delicious!!!! We always order over the phone then just pick up later. You can't dine in.

This business is a known it is always been good. Good quality service good people foods always pretty good.

Food is very good Highly recommended.. If you taking it to go I highly recommend to call it in cause the wait is about 20 min or more.. Chicken if fresh and ver flavorful.. read more

Very good fast food Peruvian style chicken. The menu is nice, roasted chicken and unsalted fries (which I prefer to add salt to my liking), fried plantains, beans, salad, and rice. The only downside is aji sauce isn't as tasty or spicy as it should be, it's just okay and this is very important for Peruvian dishes. If you want a quick, fault price meal, this is a good spot. read more

Always fresh Always delicious Very friendly service Best chicken soup in town. If you're under the weather this soup hits the spot. Not to mention the rest of their food. Delicious read more

Pretty soild little spot if you only want chicken and sides. The sauce is not bad. The prices are a little high

As a Peruvian I definitely approve the chicken. Daniel is a long time family friend but bias aside, I had one Peruvian chicken place I thought was best but when I came here again. I was reminded why toyitos had the best I've had. Chicken and some papas is all you need. Service was nothing to complain about and it is a smaller family run shop. If you're Peruvian, there's many candies and newspapers from Peru so you can enjoy. 5/5 read more

Horrible seating and service. I came here so excited and there were no seats or tables, the place is small and had like 6-7 tables total , if you are coming call ahead to see if they have space. We walked in and nobody said anything so we just walked out starving :/ im so dramatic. But to me a good employee would of said something like.... "If you would like to wait a tad bit we should have a table in a couple minutes. Or if you'd like we can make it to go and sometimes in that transition a table opens up." "No se preocupe amigo en un poco tiempo habrá una mesa disponible, y si gusta puede comprar para llevar y ala mejor se abre una mesa o sino de todos modos el pollo está tan bueno que no regresará aunque no hay mesas." read more

This place takes the term 'hole in the wall' to a whole new level. First off, it's TINY, holding only four 2-seater and one 4-seater table. There is a television suspended in one corner broadcasting a soccer game in Spanish. It is clean and orderly, but far from fancy. You order and pay at the counter. There are no printed menus; the menu options are posted on the wall (with pictures). Your options are quite simple, in spite of the fact there are 12 listed combos to choose from. This place serves chicken. Rotisserie chicken, Peruvian rotisserie chicken... so moist and beautifully seasoned it could change your life. I'm not joking. Basic as it seems, it is life changing fare. You can order it as a 1/4 chicken, 1/2 chicken, or whole chicken. You can order sides to go with it choosing from fries, salad, beans, rice, or tortillas. The combos are merely suggested combinations of sides. The people behind the counter were friendly and efficient, taking our order for a whole chicken with rice and beans sides and handing us our sodas (which came in the can with a straw) They brought out our chicken chopped into fourths on a real heavy duty plastic plate and our large sides in similar bowls with real metal flatware to eat with. They brought out a mysterious white sauce, a nondescript red sauce, and the traditional Peruvian green hot sauce. For those unfamiliar with this magical mystical green sauce, it makes EVERYTHING in life better, just by its mere existence. Dress up everything from plain white rice to chicken to lomo saltado with this spicy little Ambrose from heaven... But I digress. The chicken. Oh MYYYYYY, the chicken. The meat falls off the bone, melts in your mouth, and sends your tastebuds into orgasmic ecstasy. No customer restroom. Trust me, it's a small price to pay to experience this chicken. Or take your order to go and enjoy it where nobody can make you share it. We only managed to finish half our chicken, and took the rest home to Bakersfield. Even three days later the chicken was still incredibly moist and tasty. The BF says he'd be willing to drive back down to Los Angeles JUST to eat this chicken. I kid you not. Put Toyita's Chicken on your bucket list. You'll thank me. read more

I just ate here for lunch and needed to write this review immediately. The day job can wait, this takes precedence! Toyitos is a Peruvian-Japanese joint that specializes in rotisserie chicken. What I had: Combo #1 1/4 chicken salad fries soda (orange if u were curious) $6.50 (including tax) Before the order came out the server dropped off 4 squeeze bottles at my table: ketchup, mustard, green sauce (kinda of spicy, citrusy, lemongrass maybe?), and white sauce (like creme mexicana). The chicken was so good! You could tell it was slow cooked to deliciousness. Skin was crispy with a nice peppery seasoning. The meat was so juicy and practically fell off the bone, you could scrape the meat off with a fork. Dipping it with the green and white sauce just added a whole new dimension to my dining. The salad was chopped cabbage and letuce with tomatoes drizzled with a light dressing like italian. The fries were steak fries, my favorite! The meal was great! Tasted like happiness =) On top of that, as I was finishing up and began to pick up the sauce bottles to return them to the counter the server insisted I stop and that he'd take care of everything. The dude out-niced me! wow. 5/5 stars, not necessarily because it's the best food I've ever tasted, but because of the combination of good food, cheap price, and great service. If you're going out to eat you want to leave feeling like how I felt: full, happy, and satisfied. Thanks to Toyitos for a great meal. Thanks to the fellow Yelpers whose reviews let me know I needed to try this place out. read more

The combination of the salad and rice was addicting! 5.

Great chicken and authentically Peruvian. You know its made with love :) we would come back again.

Yummy juicy chicken, tasty spicy green sauce, the rice was cooked to perfection as well. Service was top notch. The pinto beans were also so good! My two year old especially loved the beans. It's a small place, but we found seats. They have high chairs available and are kid/baby friendly. We will def visit again. So good!! Located in a strip mall, found parking easily but I could also see it filling up fast. This place is an exceptional gem. read more

They have great food great customer service, very prompt. I always get pick up from here for the fam. We love it!

Great pollo, friendly service, fries are awesome. Been coming here for about ten years. Best rotisserie chicken I have had.

Been having toyitos chicken for a long time now and the quality is always really good. It's located in a small plaza so there is free parking. The restaurant itself is small and has about 5 or so tables only. The staff is really nice as well. I usually call in my order and pick it up (although I still have to wait some minutes). We've also ordered catering for a party and some holidays and it's fairly cheap. read more

I love Toyitos! Their moist and tasty chicken and the salad too. The fries are just perfect. I was one of the first customers more than I decade ago. I moved but I still go back. They have a friendly service. Daniel always lights my day with his smile. They also did catering for my college graduation. I even take my friends that are out of town to impressed them with their unique flavour. I wish them more decades to come. read more

Had this place last night bc it's near my aunts house. The chicken was pretty good but I've had better for cheaper. My mom had the soup and said the same. The aji chili is nice and spicy! So I loved that! I would prob come again if I were in the area! read more

We've been coming here for years and nothing has changed. Still the same flavorful Bird I had the 1st time I came here many years ago. It's a pretty small place so most of the time we do take out but no big deal we live down the street so it's convenient. They have a Tuesday Special that we like to take advantage of from time to time. Buy any large Bird and get another half for only $2. We usually get the combo with rice, beans, and Fries (well done). ALWAYS, ALWAYS ask for extra salsa...it is outstanding and a must topping for the bird. This is definitely one of the best Rotisserie Chickens I have ever eaten. Honorable Mention: EXTRA SALSA, it is D-Lish!! read more

This is a very good low key Peruvian chicken with the most amazing soup!

Great flavor, perfect steak fries and their ahí sauce was a darker color than in used to having but it was tasty. Everything was really good. I only wish there was a way to pay online ahead of time. read more

I want to echo what previous yelpers have said about this place. We came here for lunch and got such a good deal. We ordered combos which came with 1/4 chicken, salad, fries and soda. For the both of us we spent about $14. Not bad at all. The chicken was nice and tender. Try it with the green sauce. The fries were so good! It reminded me of the Red Robin fries. This is a really good place for lunch. They are closed on Thursdays. read more
