Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Delicious, well spiced, juicy chicken. The same is true with the steak, flavorful rice, and crispy yuca chips. The ladies behind the counter were great. I would definitely recommend this place"
"Been coming here for a decade and at the old location. Can't go wrong with the chicken on the rotisserie. The smells and juiciness of the chicken cannot be replicated."
"Well... you could not finish my 1/2 chicken with a side salad and yuka. This means that the portions are pretty good size. The food was delicious and the service was fast. For 1/2 chicken and Malanesa de polls we paid $32 (no drinks). They offered water cups and we took them. The white sauce is mayo like, the green is spicy (you have been warned). I would recommend to friends."
"Delicious Peruvian chicken and Yucca. I love the white and green sauce they have. I always have to get extras because they are so good."
"This seems like a mom and pop type of place when you walk inside. The place was dated, and the staff was busy cooking and serving. They have a good menu displayed with many food items to choose from. I ordered the whole chicken with rice and beans and plantains and salad for a family of four. The chicken was perfectly cooked, you could taste the wood fire it was cooked over and rice and beans went perfect with the chicken. This place is worth spending money on if you crave south Latino food!!!! I am a fan and will be back again to try more of their food listed on the menu and get more of their chicken."
"My family started coming to Su Pollo back in 2017 and we come back yearly just for the food. The customer service is always warm and friendly and the food is always hot and fresh."
"My first time here and the food was amazing! Everything was super fresh and the chicken was juicy and flavorful! The yucca was fresh. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t have a big variety of sides but everything was on point! I highly recommend this restaurant!"
"Small spot, looks like they just renovated their restaurant. When I got there around 1pm, there was a 30 minute wait for dark chicken so I instead got a steak and cheese as I’m not a fan of white meat. Portion size is very reasonable and generous! Although, they did have one piece of dark meat left which I got for my girlfriend, she thought it was a little salty, I thought it tasted pretty good! For steak and cheese and a quarter of chicken ran me around $33 (including 2 waters and a coconut water)"
