El Pollo D’el Rey

Super sketchy place, I used to love going here with my boyfriend but lately I food quality deteriorated. The ceviché tasted old instead of fresh. The food always take about 30 minutes to come out and their chicken is really dry. Need improvement on everything.

Sad to give this place one star because the food is great, but the service is AWFUL! I went and purchased some food and they overcharged me. When I called they never apologized and made me go all the way back to the restaurant to get my money back. When I walked in, no one greeted me. The only server in the restaurant was sitting down eating and looked at me like I was bothering her by walking in her door! She was unable to tell me why this happened nor was she apologetic about the whole situation. I was excited to have found a good Peruvian restaurant but NO!

Le doy 4 estrellas sólo porque el pollo a la brasa está rico. El local no es lindo y el servicio es lento. Deberían hacer una remodelacion total para que atraiga más clientela. Y las meseras deberían ser mas atentas con los clientes como lo son con sus celulares.

I am a repeat customer. The food is so good, and the drink specials are good too. The cebiches are my favorite and the corn and butter filled empanadas. YUM!

The food was ok, not exceptional. We were looking for some really good Peruvian food, but this was not it. I

Real sketchy place but amazing and delicious food is served here. Being from Peru I can say that the traditional dish, Pollo a La Brasa (Chicken fries w/​Salad) is on point! Also their Lomo Saltado (a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin, with onions, tomatoes, served with fries and rice) is excellent!!! Def try this place out!

amazing pollo a la brasa!!! This is hands down my favorite Peruvian restaurant. Being from Peru this is the closest I think I’ll get to really peruvian food. The anticuchos are amazing and so is everything else. They have Chicha which is a purple corn drink and it’s fantastic. Overall awesome place if you want to it authentic Peruvian good!

Worst experience ever. $ 20 for a horrible tasting rotisserie meal, the wife and kids tasted it, and could not go much further. The tables were sticky, and dirty, yet the worst thing of all was the service, the waitress literally never acknowledge my presence, she did not see if I wanted something to drink, and never took my personal order. This never happened to me anywhere before, but I kept myself calm, since I was with a group and I rather not ever go here again than deal with bad food, and service.

Super sketchy place. I must confess that I always order take-​out since I don’t feel comfortable eating in.
However, the food is delicious! Specially their chicken with their yummy sauces.
Yes, the fries are the frozen kind and the salad is ok at its best. But their sauces and friendly staff take the cake.
Whenever you get their grilled chicken ask for their green aji sauce and some sort of mustard/​mayo sauce. Yum!
You won’t be disappointed with the food, but i would recommend tale out for sure!

Shortly after sitting down, I as informed that this place is a Peruvian restaurant; however; there are a plethora of Mexican dishes on the menu.
I’m giving this place 3 stars but it really should be two-​and-​a-​half. I decided to try this place since it is close to my house; I could almost walk there. I got there at 11AM and they were still in the process of opening.
So nobody was there but me. I ordered a Inca Cola which is kind of an odd cross between a pineapple soda and a cola; interesting flavor in an weird kind of way but good none-​the-​less. I also ordered a quarter chicken, which came with a side of fries and a «salad» (more on that later on).
It took a good solid 20 to 30 minutes for my food to arrive. I almost paid for my soda and left to go eat elsewhere. When the food finally arrived the chicken was piping hot but smallish (for a white meat /​breast and wing portion).
I will admit that the chicken was really tasty; however, the fries were of the portioning, flavor and consistency of bland Wendy’s fries (kind of dissappointing). Also dissapointing: The «salad» was more of a side garnish or burger topping with a dash of some kind of tasty peppery dressing; shredded lettuce, a roma tomato slice and a cucumber slice.
Also of note were the condiments in squeeze dispensers: Ketchup of the standard American Variety, some kind of honey mustard /​mayo hybrid, and — most notably — a peppery green condiment that resembled wasabe paste called Aji (a-​HEE) which was amazingly good.
I would say the meal and visit was an overall mixed feelings /​mixed bag experience. In a neighborhood chock full of good cheap restaurants I would suggest that you skip this one. Yay! for Peruvian Food /​cuisine; Boo! for this place
