I ordered delivery for lunch from these guys a few days ago. Super delicious!! I was hungry, so I got the whole chicken with 3 sides -- thinking that there would be a lot of leftovers and I was NOT disappointed. The chicken was plump and flavorful. For the sides, I got two orders of the brussels sprouts and one order of the black beans. Both were exceptional, but the brussels sprouts were the stars of the show. They came in this balsamic sauce that was a nice blend of sweet and spicy--a fantastic complement to the chicken. The online ordering and delivery were efficient and effective. Looking forward to visiting their place in person!

Our family loves Peruvian chicken. It is a favorite of our whole family. My son was picking up Poyoteca for the two of us. I wasn't feeling well and he was so sweet to bring dinner over. Sorry, I just was not a fan. The chicken tasted spicy to me. I don't know if someone heavy handed the turmeric, but it did not taste good. Now, people who like the spice, may enjoy this chicken. The yucca were very good. They were hot and crispy. We also ordered the rice and beans. They were fine. My son picked up the food and the service was good. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The ambiance is clean and attractive. My son really enjoyed his meal. I just think that we are lucky enough to be in an area with lots of Peruvian chicken restaurants. This one was not a favorite of mine.

The chicken is pretty good, the sides are probably better than the chicken. You can get a chicken and 2 sides for about $30. You can go to giant and get a chicken and 2 sides for $10.Is Poyoteca better, yes. Is Poyoteca $20 better, not even close.They really bother me with the sauce cups. I included pictures of the thimble of sauce they put in the containers. I asked for more and they made me pay extra for 6 more containers. I was able to pour the contents of all 6 containers in to 1 container. This is a complete scam and ripoff.

Chicken was flavorful and juicy. The green was fresh and flavorful. Even the standard yellow sauce was light and made well compared to competitors.

My partner and I came here one evening last week and ordered the Whole Chicken with Three Sides. We ordered it, ate some at the restaurant and took much home. It's a lot of food. And a better value than if two people come in and each order a half chicken with two small sides. The chicken was moist and juicy, with a nice seasoning. The sides we got - mashed potatoes, green beans and Brussels sprouts - were each a nice sized portion and very good. They were out of Brussels sprouts and made us a fresh batch. Could have used a bit more balsamic, but good. I recall the Cole slaw was good from a previous visit. They have a number of other sides that all look good and I'll have to try in the future. They have a green and white sauce in small containers. Each is pretty spicy, but also flavorful. Really good rotisserie chicken and sides here. The people here were friendly and accommodating.

Although it was mostly empty when we visited on a weekday evening, the venue and convenient location are appealing. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to like.Being first time here, and not knowing the regular portions and size of the chicken, we ordered the whole chicken family meal with 3 sides. It was much more than we could handle. The chicken was good. I think he gave us an extra piece (leftover?) and perhaps that's why we had so much. The Brussels Sprouts was the star of the place - sweet and savory, delicious. 5 stars!We changed our mind at the last minute, and decided to eat in. Can't say it's the cold temperature, but the chicken was cold to the touch for some reason. Maybe it was the extra piece we got. Regardless, it's worth a trip, and will visit again when I have a craving for Peruvian cuisine.

Definitely not one of my better visits as this used to be in my rotation. I get the whole shrink-flation thing, but I can really justify much here. Ordered half chicken (all dark) meal and an extra side of chaufa. They used to load up the sides, but now it's not much more than a scoopful. The worse however was getting 2 small chicken quarters that weren't very flavorful; definitely not much value here anymore.

First time trying this place, via delivery. Good packaging, generous on the sauces. Onto the specific food:Southwest bowl (lomo): hella good. The lomo was tender and juicy; the avocado, tomatoes, corn, rice, other veggies were fresh and well seasoned. 5/5 would definitely reorder.Chicken burrito: yessssss! Comes with a side of your choosing. It has sour cream, which I don't normally like since I'm not into yogurt taste, but their sour cream is "aji amarillo sour cream" so it didn't taste like that yogurtty sour cream. It was so good! Big enough to split into two meals. 5/5.Half chicken (white meat): juicy and yummy, though I prefer other places like Nando's. 4/5. Comes with two sides.Side steak fries: excellent, goes well with the chicken. 5/5.Side Brussels sprouts and carrots: I loved it, quite savory. My partner thought it was a little too sweet. I'm not a big sweettooth and didn't agree with him. Meh! 5/5.Side arroz chaufa: Pretty good! But didn't stand out. 4/5.Tres leches: Delicious, plenty of leches to resoak the cake in. 5/5.Alfajor: Meh, maybe it's a good alfajor but I found it kinda plain. I had a few bites and decided it's probably better to eat with my morning coffee. 3.5/5. Maybe with coffee it's a 4.Aji Mac and cheese: a waste of my money to be honest. It's fine but I wouldn't order it again. Save for the kids? 3/5.This place is officially part of our delivery rotation.

I'm not sure I've ever had bad Peruvian chicken, but the version at Poyoteca is particularly delicious, tender, succulent, perfectly spiced and cooked. The skin has just a hint of crackle and seals in an incredibly juicy interior.The yellow and green sauces become almost an afterthought with a bird this good, though when added, they somehow improve upon perfection, which seems logically impossible and yet it is so. The sides I've tried are all solid, and the chaufa and Brussels and carrots (the latter of which is in a soy-like salty/sweet sauce) are my favorites. Great value, great food, and one of the best-smelling places you could ever hope to be.

Just great food, everything from the chicken to the veggies. The inside is a nice place to casually eat if you're looking for that as well.
