Don P. Id always a solid choice for a lunch outing. This specific location delivers some of the fastest and most friendly service out there. Half chicken with yucca, rice, and beans is my go-to, but anything you get will be a good time. Great location with patio seating it offers a great atmosphere on a hot summer day. The only reason why this spot is not a 5 stars for me is because of consistency. The chicken is not always 5 out 5, but it will always be a good meal.

This Peruvian chicken joint nails it every time. The rotisserie chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and they have a great variety of sides - everything from mashed potatoes and coleslaw to rice and beans. I've also tried their Pollo Saltado and it was delicious! The restaurant itself is modern and inviting, unlike some other Peruvian spots around town that can feel a bit dated. They also do a great job with takeout - it's always efficient and quick, whether you order in person or online. We recently tried their "feast for 6," even though there were only 4 of us. It was a good amount of food - six quarter chicken portions and 6 sides. Honestly, even for 4 people, we could have gotten away with the 4 person meal but were entertaining and wanted the extra variety on sides and just be sure we had enough. We had 1.5 of the quarter chicken portions left over, so glad we got the 6 person meal with leftovers vs 4 feeling just enough. It's a great deal the package and everything was spot on.

While on our way to grab some burgers, we caught a whiff of delicious chicken and decided to check out this chicken spot. Upon entering, we were pleased by how clean the establishment was. We placed our order and decided to take it home. The chicken was cooked to perfection - it was tender, moist, and full of flavor. We also enjoyed the sides the Yucca, macaroni and cheese, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and moist, but it lacked a bit in terms of flavor. Along with that, we also ordered a cheese empanada and a beef empanada. Both of them were delectable. Initially, we weren't given our empanadas, but the person who took our order saw how quickly we were leaving and ran after us to make we came back to the counter fetched for the empanadas. We were impressed by the customer service and the speed at which our order was prepared. The place was also very clean. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it to others. I will definitely come back here.

This Don Pollo is superior to the other locations I've been too, and possibly one of the best char broil chicken spots in the area. Their food options are better, more flavorful, and delivered hot quickly to your table. The menu here has items other Don Pollos don't, and the environment is a bit more refined. Worth a try.

What a great restaurant! We came here for the first time on a busy, rainy day and it was just what we needed. This place was fast casual but still had a hole-in-the-wall feel. You choose your drinks before ordering and they have a variety of international and regular drinks to choose from. The lady who took our order was very nice and explained the menu thoroughly, and we didn't go wrong by listening to her suggestions on what to get. There are a LOT of options on the menu, but we both did the 1/4 chicken + 2 sides because of all choices of sides (we did macaroni and cheese, plantains, chaufa, and fries as well as the cucumber salad) as well as a cheese and a chicken empanada. Everything was absolutely delicious - the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sides were all tasty in their own way, and the 2 provided sauces were also flavorful. The restaurant itself was very clean and large, and the prices were very reasonable for the large amounts of food we got. We will certainly be coming here again!
