Chicho’s Chicken

Great Food, But Hygiene Issues Need AttentionChicho's Chicken offers delicious food that I really enjoy, but I've consistently noticed some health concerns that need to be addressed. On my latest visit, the staff member preparing my food attempted to plate my order without wearing gloves, and their nails looked noticeably dirty. This made me uncomfortable, so I decided to leave instead of completing my order.The ambience is typical for a fast-casual spot--nothing exceptional, but it gets the job done. I hope management can improve hygiene practices to enhance the overall dining experience. I would give a 2.5 if possible.

So, there is a new Peruvian chicken spot located in Capital Plaza!!! I heard about this place through a family member. They raved and sang the praises of this establishment, so I had to experience it for myself!I was welcomed with warm and upbeat customer service and placed an order to go for Lomo Saltado. The location of the restaurant is in a strip mall, where there are other eating establishments. Inside is clean with ample seating and the lighting is just right! My order was ready in no time! The order comes with three Peruvian style sauces! One white/mayo sauce, one chipotle sauce, one spicy green sauce! Upon arriving home, I washed my hands and opened up my entree! The aromas hit me first! I could smell the garlic and fresh herbs! The rice looked fluffy, and the steak and fries were perfectly marinated and juicy! Upon my first bite, I tasted everything that I saw with my eyes and was in absolute paradise! From the bold flavors, to the perfect texture and grill char of the food! One thing I also love, is that the portions are very generous! Please check this place out, you're truly in for a treat! Happy New Year & Cheers!

Wow, when you're hungry, everything sounds amazing! And since I was in the mood for something different, I decided to order from here. I used DoorDash to place my order, and one of the reviews had me sold because it mentioned one of my favorite Peruvian dishes... lomo saltado!When the dish arrived, I was blown away by the presentation and the fragrant smell. They definitely didn't skimp on the steak, onions, and other ingredients. However, when I took a bite, I was disappointed to find that it lacked a lot of flavor. I should have gone with my gut and not ordered it at all! Other establishments that I've had this dish at never miss the mark!I also ordered the 1/4 chicken dark with fried rice, black beans, and string beans. Unfortunately, it was a bit blah. The sides were easily a 2.5 out of 10, and the chicken had no charcoal flavor whatsoever! I was really hoping for something decent after the lomo meal.Overall, I have to say that this restaurant missed the mark with me. I'll continue to frequent flavorful Peruvian restaurants that can deliver juicy, delectable dishes!

I came here with my mom while visiting home, and I was very pleased with the food! The chicken was soooo juicy with amazing crispy and flavorful skin. The fried plantains were a godsend. The green beans were very tasty (although a bit too oily). The yellow sauce and orange sauce were perfect. The service was super duper quick, no waiting at all. I would definitely go back next time I'm in town!

Chicken is always so good and the sides are excellent. Even better than Sardi's sides. Sometimes the staff don't listen, but they are nice. Seating for a nice amount of ppl. So simple and so good.

The chicken was very juicy. The customer service was great. It was our first time ordering there and the lady at the cash register was super helpful. We got the fried rice, beans, yucca, coleslaw and fries (as it was a big order) and it was all very good. The portions are a little small just an fyi so may be best for less than 5 people if buying for a family like we did this time.

Ordered 1/2 chicken w/ fried plantains and cilantro rice. Really enjoyed the smoky roasted chicken. I don't know anything about Peruvian food but really enjoyed my meal. Really quick service also.

We've been to Chicho's twice now, both times ordering an entire chicken and three sides- yucca fries, vegetables, and fried rice. We loved everything about this meal. It's flavorful, fresh, and pick up is easy and timely. We really enjoy the sauces too, especially the yellow sauce. Please note that the pictures are of half the entire amount we ordered. We dug in before I remembered to take the picture!

I ordered Chicho's through DoorDash and the chicken was amazing, my first time trying and will be back for more! They over flowed my sides, which I appreciated! Chicken was flavorful and juicy!
