Reviews for El Pollo Rico in Fairfax, VA
I APPRECIATE you guys & the chicken is great but PLEASE do something about your fries! They are constantly hard and dry. : (... Will try again in a few months. Read more
Amazing chicken, tastes just like the original in Arlington! Skin was crispy, chicken was moist and fries and yuca on point.... Management was friendly and really cared about your order. Definitely a go to place for Peruvian chicken in the area. Read more
Honestly the best chicken I?ve ever had in my life. From the flavor of the chicken, the crispness of the fries and yuca, the... flavor of the sauces, and the great customer service. This was really a great experience and can?t wait to come back more thanonce. Read more
Literally terrible. Not only were the employees rude and in a rush to get you out but the food is lacking is SO many ways. Our... chicken was literally soggy, the portions for the sides are tiny, pricing is okay but I paid for double sauce and didn?t evenget the amount of sauce that should have come with the meal. My family loves Peruvian chicken we eat it frequently for an easymeal everyone loves and we will NOT be returning here. Go one mile more down the road for some delicious food with much betterportions and customer service Read more
Need to be more generous with your fries and sauces. Chicken is good but not the best. I rather go all the way to super chicken... in Tyson?s as they been serving descent sized portions and never complain about giving out extra sauces. Read more
I am so glad Fairfax can more conveniently enjoy what Arlington, Wheaton, and Woodbridge have been enjoying for years and years.... I just had to visit this location of the pollo a la brass experts in their first week. In their first week growing pains theydid not have a couple of items I would normally order. I settled for a half chicken with both types of starches and a side ofbeans. (For those into sodas to drink I recommend having an Inca Cola to get that Peruvian bubble gum flavor to contrast withthe spice level in the chicken.) The chicken was as I remembered: flavorful without being too salty and nearly perfectly roastedand cooked. The green sauce adds the perfect complement of heat to the chicken. Both potato and yucca sides go well. The beans(not pictured) were also fine, although I wonder whether black beans would be more appropriate. Avoid the cole slaw which has asomewhat mushy texture and way too mayonnaise-y and over dressed a taste. They did not have any fried plantains or alfajoresbesides the last one I got this evening which was a disappointment hopefully rectified as they ramp up this location in thecoming weeks. I am definitely looking forward to future visits and enjoying the king of Peruvian barbecue chicken! Read more
They just opened this past week and I?ve gone a couple times already :) Best chicken in nova. Very affordable. I?m glad I don?t... have to go all the way to Arlington anymore to get bomb chicken. They don?t have all drinks in stock, but it?s understandable asthey just opened and likely still working through some kinks. Very kind and hardworking staff. If I had to give feedback, theirFrench fries can be hit or miss sometimes. I prefer crispy but sometimes I?m given soft. Either way, I love this place anddefinitely recommend giving it a shot!!
