Rico Rico Chicken

Are you a fan of Costco's rotisserie chicken? (Of course you are, duh, why else would you be on this business's page LOL). Then let me introduce you to Rico Rico Chicken! I've seen several posts about this place raving about their mouth-watering chicken and I had waiting for the chance to go. Their hours are a little funny so pay attention to that before visiting on a whim, but I managed to squeeze in some time on a Sunday. Rico Rico Chicken is kinda like a food truck stand that's normally found on the makai side of Mo'ili'ili park, just before Longs Drugs on King Street, can't miss it. For parking, you can either drive right up to it or park Longs and walk over. Being just myself, I was just going to order a half chicken plate knowing full well it would still last me at least 2 meals. However, the friendly owner was very convincing and persuaded me into getting the whole chicken and I'm so glad that he did. I mean, look at that beauty! Idk what all the seasoning is but the chicken was beautifully spiced, absolutely tender and moist, and was super hot and fresh! This thing lasted me 3 meals and would've lasted me 4 but I had to eat as much as I could while it was still piping hot! I believe the sauce is a yellow pepper sauce, I do like the slight spice to it but I'm not a huge fan because it has a mayo like taste. Nothing wrong with it, just not my personal preference. But trust me, the seasoning on top the chicken skin is more than enough flavoring! I heard this guy sells out fast so either order ahead or get there early!

This is a little shack on king street. It used to be a truck but I noticed it has a nice little permanent shack. The man is hilarious and generous and fun to talk to. The food is incredible. The chicken is moist and flavorful. I think I can eat this not that often because of how many spices are in it. However it's not spicy hot, just flavorful. I enjoy this chicken and will buy it once in a blue moon when I am craving spices. It's great for leftovers and if you save your bones it makes for an excellent chicken soup!

Variety is certainly the spice in life and Rico Rico has that covered on his Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken incredibly!Who hasn't seen the shiny trailer's permanent fixture on South King Street right along Mōiliili Neighborhood Park though I always see it closed which I can understand why as this Latinx-owned business runs four days a week (Tue, Wed, Fri & Sun 11am to 2:45pm) and from chatting with other regulars I'm told if you have his number you could find out if he's open to order in advance because he sells out on the regular.As times are tough so is the menu as it's been condensed to two plates a full or half chicken and it comes with rice not exactly sure what kind as it was on the dry though I did enjoy it, no corn like many says but a side of pepper sauce that looks like mustard but it's a slight spicy pepper which is a good accompaniment though the true star of the show...Rotisserie Chicken is excellent on it's own.Fresh never frozen chicken without any antibiotics, hormones or steroids the price speaks for itself of the quality and time he puts into his products. I was delighted to have the perfect timing to give Rico Rico Chicken a try.Thank you!

I drive past this cart (King St & Coolidge, across Kahai Street Kitchen and right before CVS) nearly every day and I finally saw it open when I passed it so I made a U-turn and came back!And with only 2 choices (1/2 chicken plate $13, or full chicken plate $22) there's not really much to decide. The plate comes with this rice/corn side, but the chicken is the real star of the show. I know, you must be thinking that's ridiculous to pay $22 but newsflash: everywhere is expensive now, and this stuff tastes way better than the Costco chickens (which are stuffed with brine/sugar/who knows what else!).This IS the best rotisserie chicken! I got the whole chicken plate and nearly ate the entire chicken myself, it was juicy and the skin was crispy and full of flavor. The chicken is heavily spiced but not spicy or too salty, the yellow dipping sauce (looks like a mustard/mayo sauce but better) has a tiny little kick, and it worked well with the chicken.I would pay $22 for the full chicken plate again, stretch it out over 2-3 meals (with a large salad) instead of eating it all at one sitting like I did today.

Hands down THE BEST chicken I've had on the island! So flavorful, juicy, moist, tender, and everything you want chicken to be! I had the pleasure of enjoying Rico Rico three years ago on my trip to Oahu. I completely forgot the name and I'm so ecstatic I found him again-- because I am going TODAY!!! Woohooooo so excited!!!!!!

I really wanted to like this but I thought it was okay. I loooove Peruvian rotisserie chicken and get it a lot back home in multiple restaurants. I love the sides and dipping sauces where I live. The chicken here was okay and had a different type of seasoning it also came with rice that was okay as well. I did not like the yellow sauce. I usually love aji Amarillo sauce but this one tastes weird and kind of smelled of mustard or something and I hate mustard. It was def not what I was expecting so I was disappointed.

As promised...here's that review!It's not often I can promise a five star review when revisiting a place I hadn't been in a couple of years. Rico Rico is definitely an exception! It was a amazing as I assured my husband it would be. Juicy meat (even the breast piece) and delicious rice! The owner was very responsive via Yelp message when I placed my order in advance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you calling un your order the day before because better believe they sell out. Everything was delicious and we kanacked after! We'll be back!

Simple! Delicious! One of a kind! So happy I finally found a window of opportunity to make it to this food truck parked just before you approach the parking lot to Longs Mo'ili'ili on S King St. With only one item on the menu it makes it very easy for indecisive people like me to order. The only choice you have to make is whether you want a half chicken plate ($13) or a full ($22). The chickens are plump and moist on the inside. The outside is rubbed with a zesty blend of Peruvian spices that create an explosion of flavor that is hard to find in this part of the world. It comes with a yellow banana pepper sauce that is interesting but not necessary to enjoy your meal. As a local who is used to Asian sticky white rice, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the rice that comes with little kernels of corn. It's mild flavor and soft texture are the perfect complement which allow the star, the chicken, to shine.They have limited days and hours Tues, Wed, Fri, Sun 11:00-2:45 so time your cravings for Rico Rico chicken right!

Tasty!!!Peruvian chicken in the island! So good!The owner was so nice.100% recommended

Only real Peruvian chicken spot on island or all the islands actually. This truck should have way more reviews/recognition.
