Yummy Pollo

Really great slow roasted chicken. Like really really great. Smiling friendly service and a very comfortable place to eat. Did I mention the really great chicken?

Great chicken. Exceeded expectations! Reasonably priced.
Dark and white meats both tasty! Sides are ok.
Definitely will be back!

Great food with equally great customer service. The reviews of this place were so good, my boyfriend and I had to give it a try. The chicken is moist and delicious. The sides we tried were good. The fried yucca was our favorite. The green cilantro-​jalapeño sauce was really tasty. The price was so reasonable too. The owner is very friendly and proud of his restaurant, as he should be. I would definitely go back when I’m in the area. Can’t beat it!

I wish I could review this place more fairly. But I’ve never had a chance to actually eat here.
Once I checked the website. It had the hours listed. I drove there. Wrong hours posted online. The place wasn’t even open.
So, I took a picture of the hours on the door. Tried this place again, same thing. Store was closed at hours they claim they would be open.

I eat this once a week and it never disappoints! (Please see my previous review for more lengthy review of products)
In short:
1) Yuca fries with the white sauce is everything!
2) The chicken is always cooked to perfection!
3) I just tried the flan for the first time — OH MY GOD! I want to eat this everyday it’s so delightful!
4) service is prompt, friendly, and thorough
5) they need one in Oldham Co :)

I am from out of town and was taken here by a friend. I absolutely love this place. The chicken is moist and tender, never dry. It is such a healthy option. Today I had the cilantro rice and green beans. I eat here every time I am in town.

Had a fantastic lunch at Yummy Pollo! The restaurant was very clean and well lit with plenty of tables. We got their around 11:15 and soon after a steady but fast moving line was present. When I saw the equipment they invested in to properly cook all those chickens I knew we were in for a tasty delight. The owner Faisal Noor went into detail about the quality product they start with and all of the steps they take. I was really impressed. I got the half chicken with cilantro rice and mixed vegetables. It was very delicious. Their sauces are also very tasty! The chicken was super tender, juicy and flavorful. While writing this review I can almost taste the flavors. Loved it! Food excellent. Atmosphere bright, clean and very friendly. Worth the drive!

Finally made it to Yummy Pollo and it definitely lived up to all the hype! I stopped in around 1130 with some coworkers and there was just a short line that I got a little longer as we sat there. I loved that they cut your piece of chicken right in front of you. The food was great, fresh and the staff was super friendly!
I had a quarter white with green beans and chick peas. Can’t wait to go back and try some new sides!

There’s a reason this place has 5 stars. We literally drove an hour out of our way to try the highly praised chicken after reading the rosy red reviews.
A few reasons you, too, need to bookmark this Peruvian Paradise:
–the customer service is INCREDIBLE (the passion the owner shares with his customers takes the experience to the next level)
–super affordable — you’re looking at $ 8/​pop (quarter of chicken and two sides)
–sides: chickpeas, green beans, yucca fries, cilantro rice, veggies and more (I highly recommend the chickpeas and cilantro rice)
–indoor and outdoor seating available
–located on the south side of Louisville

This is a hidden gem, in my opinion. Had no idea such amazing chicken was hiding right in plain view.
This may seriously be the best chicken in Louisville with the most friendly staff. I was so pleased with both the service and the food. And that chicken. Have I mentioned the chicken is amazing? I don’t even usually like chicken that isn’t breaded!
I admit the green beans weren’t my thing but I like my fixin’s very old school southern so that’s probably where it didn’t strike me to the heart (or stomach in this case). Still very solid sides overall and I will definitely go back again — and bring company!

I’ve been meaning to try this place for a long time and finally went for lunch. It won’t be the last time.
When you call a place Yummy Pollo, well, the pollo had better be yummy. In actuality, they’re underselling it. The chicken is made rotisserie style over charcoal, and it’s not only the star attraction here, it’s almost everything. You order cafeteria style, and you can either get ¼, ½ or whole chicken in white or dark meat. And that’s it, as far as main options. I enjoy not being bombarded by choices, for a change.
There are several sides to choose from, including two types of rice, steamed veggies, fries, yucca and green beans. But they’re all there in service of the chicken, which is heavenly.
My wife and I both got ¼ white, and the chicken just melts in your mouth. So flavorful that it stands on its own, although the cilantro jalapeño green sauce makes a nice complement. I also had fried rice and chick peas as sides, which were quite good. But it’s the chicken that will bring me back here. Yummy only begins to describe it.

I was excited to learn that there is a Peruvian chicken place in Louisville. The chicken here, marinated then cooked on a wood fired rotisserie, is wonderful!
The owner is very friendly, greeting each customer and saying goodbye as they leave.
Prices are reasonable: $ 7.25 for a quarter chicken or $ 8.25 for a half, including two sides. The chicken is flavorful, smoky and fall-​off-​the-​bone tender.
With regard to sides, I wish Yummy Pollo offered some specifically Peruvian sides rather than all generic ones. To be sure, Yummy Pollo offers a lot of sides: steak fries, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, white rice, brown rice, green beans, chickpeas, coleslaw, green salad or pasta salad. They don’t offer any of the Peruvian sides That delighted me when I first became familiar with Peruvian chicken places in Maryland. Chaufa (a Peruvian take on Chinese fried rice) and plantains were my favorite sides. Neither is on offer here.
The dipping sauces were good, but a little toned down for my taste.
Yummy Pollo offers delicious freshly brewed iced tea, which is a big plus.
In summary, Yummy Pollo is good, and worth a return trip, but has potential to be great.

First,
You get many options when you walk in. Not too many, but you first pick how much chicken you want (¼, ½ or whole) and what kind of meat (white, dark or mix). I went with ¼ white. And it was taken fresh out of the oven. The man (ager?) who was at the register was telling me how their chickens are grass fed, hormone free and oil free. I know he said lots of other good stuff about them too, I just can’t remember *food coma is real* but where were we? Fresh out of the oven, perfectly cooked, juicy and smelled delicious. I want more…
Next,
There were plenty of sides to choose from (mixed veggies, steak fries, mashed potatoes, cilantro rice, fried rice… And a few others:) I went with fried rice and something that was like a potato wedge but it’s made out of a «healthier» root. Anyway, both were scrumptious. They also have two sauces that I tried. Green one is spicy cilantro where the white one is creamy something or another. Both good, liked green one more.
Finally,
There were numerous people there when I ordered. Two cops «who eat their regularly,» a «just finished crew» posted up finishing their cokes and a current student, who was waiting on me:)
My fiancé is actually going to be very furious I ate here without him ;) but the good thing is, I will be back … And I’m sure he’ll be with me.
The only reason I would not 5 star it is I want the location and ambiance to be a bit better. That is all.

Simple, laid back and absolutely delicious. Yummy Pollo perfects roasted chicken with a crispy outside and a juicy, tender inside. The owner shared the the chickens are cage-​free chickens that are roasted for two hours. No sugar is added to the seasoning or during the roasting process. There are over half a dozen sides to choose from — mashed potatoes, garbanzo beans, two different types of rice, pasta salad, potato salad, green beans. Get the garbanzo beans and the cilantro lime rice — you won’t be disappointed. Unless of course you hate garbanzo beans… or cilantro, then you might be disappointed.
The chicken comes with two dipping sauces. One is a bright green jalapeño and lime sauce. It’s fresh and clean — it cleanses the palate with it’s tart flavor. The other is a creamy aioli — which adds a richness to the meat. I didn’t use very much of either because I didn’t feel the chicken needed a sauce — but both sauces were very good. The service was quick and the prices were cheap. You get a very large portion of food for under $ 10. Definitely a place to check out.

How do they make chicken this delicious? I ate a half of a chicken by myself!
My man has been bragging about this place for quite some time and he took me here for lunch a week or so ago. Yummy Pollo lives up to its name and yummy reputation for sure. It is a tiny spot off the beaten path, but it is worth finding. The owner is so nice and makes you feel good about the food you are eating. He explained that the chicken is organic and natural and they use only the best ingredients in the side dishes as well. The flavor and juiciness of the Peruvian style, charcoal fired rotisserie chicken is outstanding.
For about $ 9 you get ½ chicken and two sides. I ordered the chick peas and cilantro rice. The portions were huge! I left full and happy!

What an awesome Ferris wheel of dripping, basting chicken awesomeness this place has. A charcoal fired delight.
The chicken is great, the sides are great the green sauce also. This little eatery on bishop just off of Newberg does one thing and they do it well. Charcoal rotisserie chicken.
The other reviews fill in the details I can only say I agree! This is a great one trick pony!

I love chicken. And I love it when people do chicken right. Yummy Pollo does chicken right.
* Great chicken. Local chicken.
* Great price.
* Great sides.
* Bizarre location.
* Not the greatest hours.
Yummy Pollo is delicious. It will fill your belly, and it will satisfy your urges as it slides down your gullet.

After reading all the other positive reviews on Unilocal.I just had to try this place out. I tried 2 times before this, but just couldn’t seem to get here before the 6:30 close time.
I was greeted by the ownwer with a great smile once I walked through the door. He asked if this was my first visit. When I answered, «Yes» he welcomed me, thanked me for choosing his establishment and began to explain the menu and the process of cooking Peruvian chicken. All orders of chicken come with 2 sided and I had a difficult time trying to decide the ones to try. They all looked so good. The hot choices were fried rice, cilantro –lime rice, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, chicken peas and green beans. The cold choices were coleslaw, fresh salad and Pasta salad.
My quarter dark with cilantro-​lime rice and green beans was really good. If you dip the chicken into one of the two sauces that come with the meal, your taste buds will forever thank you. The green sauce is a cilantro jalapeño mix; while the yellow sauce in an aji Amarillo one. Both sauces really bring out the flavor of the charbroiled meat. Because I wanted to savor this flavor experience for the next day, I only ate half of my meal. Imagine my delight when I discovered that the chicken tastes even BETTER the next day. Yummy Pollo is indeed an adequate description.

I enjoyed the meal. The charcoal cooked ¼ dark chicken had a great rub flavor, and the mashed potatoes/​white gravy were pretty tasty. The green beans didn’t have a ton of flavor but they were fresh and crunchy.
Service was friendly and the owner was happy to chat about the dishes’ cooking styles and ingredients. I’m highly likely to go back again, and probably again.

I’m writing this review as I devour this food because I simply can’t wait any longer to tell everyone I know how great this place is! I mean it took me long enough to try it, so why wait anymore than I already have?
Hands down this is some of the best chicken I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Not previously having Peruvian food, I had no idea what to expect. This charcoal roasted chicken was so flavorful, tender, and juicy. It came with a couple of dipping sauces that I enjoyed, but I didn’t want to take away from the original flavor so I’d hardly used them.
For the sides I had the white rice and chick peas. Both of these were great, as well, and I’m excited to try the rest of the sides.
For just about $ 7 I got a quarter chicken and two sides– all extremely filling! Next time I’ll definitely be getting a half chicken, though, so I can save the leftovers for later.
This is one of those places I really hope sticks around. It’s in an odd location, but close enough to my work that I’ll be back pretty often I’m sure.
