El Gran Pollo

This spot just opened up in our area and I got a mailer for some complimentary food so the marketing worked.A good mix of seating-regular, booth and high top tables. A level up from Fast food interior. Steady around 3:30 on a Tuesday. I've seen other locations (they have a total of 7) and always thought it was just about Charbroiled Chicken but they offer so much more.The grand opening offer was for a 1/4 chicken with two sides. We got dark meat with fries and creamed spinach. Signature Chicken didn't disappoint-tender, juicy and just right seasoned.We wanted to try another dish also so we ordered the Pollo Parrilero-sides were Chaufa Rice and Red Potatoes. Boneless Chicken was grilled perfectly and if you like a strong charbroiled taste this one is for you. Long list of sides and we enjoyed all of them. Three sauces with green being the spiciest. The other two were in the Garlic and Comeback sauce neighborhood. All went well with the chicken and sides.Ordered the Tres Leches cake-although not made by them, delicious-they mentioned the Flan is house made. Tried the Inca cola for the first time. Peruvian (although bottled by Coke)-sugary and called the Champagne of Colas-one to just enjoy without reading the ingredients though.Service was friendly, upbeat and filled with hustle. We will be back to try some of their other dishes-Pasta, Subs, Wraps, Burritos and a few Seafood options.

- Pleasant Experience with Room for Improvement -I was thrilled to discover a new Peruvian chicken spot in the neighborhood and decided to check it out for lunch today. The gentleman at the counter was welcoming, and I opted for a half chicken with two sides, totaling $19. The Brussels sprouts and rice with beans were served generously and cooked to perfection.However, the green sauce lacked the fiery kick I usually enjoy from Peruvian joints. They offer both dine-in and takeout options, with ample seating available. Just a heads up, they do quietly tack on a 5 cent charge for bags.Overall, the food was enjoyable albeit a tad pricey, but that seems to be the norm nowadays. For a nutritious, quick lunch option, this place is worth a visit.

Really delicious and authentic! The staff was really friendly and helpful too as it was my first time and I wasn't totally familiar with what certain menu items were. You get a ton of food too, so I would say it's definitely worth the bang for your buck.

Amazing food, huge portions and friendly service. Restaurant is very clean. Wait time for grilled food is short. Very happy that we finally have a good Peruvian spot in Bel Air.

Great food, great atmosphere. Great everything! Service was amazinggggg. Loved it! You have to try their chips and dip!

Different cuisine that my wife and I really liked. Lots of options and the fried plantains were reallllllly good.

Have eaten here a few times and overall I like it. The food is pretty good. I enjoyed the half chicken with two sides. My spouse also enjoyed his fajitas. The food was hot and had nice sized portions. The green beans and seasoned rice are very good. Prices are a bit high, but everything is high these days. Quite an extensive menu for a fast food place. There are 5 booths and three tables if you want to eat in. Place is pretty clean. Several things you should know ahead of time: ask for additional napkins as they don't give you enough and the napkins are flimsy; check your bill total as they tack on a surcharge for using a credit card - if you paid cash make sure they took off the surcharge; they charge you 5 cents for a bag if you carry out; if you need to use the restroom ask at the register for the code as you need to punch in the code to get into the restroom. Overall a nice place for something different.
