El Pollon Peruvian Restaurant

I tried Pollon for lunch. I was greeted right away when I entered and ask if it was take out or eat in. Eating in I took a booth and was asked what I wanted to drink and given the menus. Monday through Friday they had a lunch special which consisted of picking an appetizer and an entree. The restaurant It was very clean and neat.I got a Unsweetened tea, Appetizer 'Causa De Pollo' and Entree 'Tallarin Saltado De Carne'. The Causa De Pollo was a lunch size that was delicious. It was I think a scoop of rich mash potato's with a scoop of like chicken salad on top with a delish sauce. The Tallarin Saltado De Carne was a very good stir fried noodle beef dish with red onion, tomatoes and scallions. I splurged and had flan for dessert. For me it was a great introduction to Peruvian Cuisine.

This place is an absolute hidden gem and hands down one of my favorite spots for Peruvian food! My girlfriend and I ordered a whole chicken with fries and salad, Lomo Saltado a lo pobre, and a causa de pollo. The food came out super fast, and everything was incredibly fresh.Normally, I avoid ordering chicken at most restaurants because it tends to be dry, but El Pollon absolutely nails it. Their chicken is so flavorful and moist that I could eat the whole thing by itself! I can't think of a single time I've been here when the chicken wasn't perfect.We also tried the Lomo Saltado a lo pobre, and I have to say, it was one of the best I've ever had. The difference with this version is the addition of an egg and maduros (sweet plantains), and it worked perfectly. The meat was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, and when combined with the rice and fries, it was a flavor explosion.The causa de pollo was okay, not my favorite. It had an olive sauce that I didn't really care for, and since it's served cold, it might not be for everyone. Still, it was decent, just not a standout for me.The only downside here is the parking. The restaurant shares a small lot with other shops, and if it's full, you'll likely need to park on the main road or across the street, which is what we ended up doing. That aside, this place is a must-visit, and I definitely plan on coming back!

The decor was up to standard for a smaller restaurant but didn't feel too crowded or tight. The food was pretty good, and the portions were adequate for the price. I was very satisfied with my meal and had plenty, so I wasn't left wanting more. Our server was very professional and courteous considering the large group we had. I would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for latin cuisine.

Being in the area I decided to give this Pervian cuisine small place a try. I am typically skeptical of Spanish food these days as I prefer not to bother if I can make it better to my liking at home. I was wrong though, I got the rice and beans and salad with yucca fries all to give a try. The rice used seemed like jasmine rice and it was freshly made (as I don't put it past these days to get stale food - pet peeve). The beans/frijoles had flavor and paired well with it. The yucca fries also piping hot and fresh - not overly oily either, my other pet peeve.. The side salad and side dressing was a nice touch to have with the lunch. I read in the past reviews they have good dips/sauces so I made sure to ask. She offered garlic sauce, a hot green sauce, and salad dressing I went with all 3 and it did a great job of enhancing it all. Service was busy but still welcoming - I forgot to order my typical mango smoothie and despite someone waiting in line she was still nice about having to ring me up twice. The mango smoothie half milk half water is my thing and it didn't disappoint here. The lighting was lacking a bit inside and it was busy so I decided to take it out and eat outside. Also, not sure if service is always quick there but my food came out in about 5-10 minutes while still fresh! Il def be back for another dish.

A surprise visit here with my son and his family. Service was great. We had the fried snapper which was excellent. I would recommend the whole snapper.

Yummy quick lunch spot for some good Peruvian food. Perfect spot to do a pick up order. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but the service was excellent! Food came out fast and it was all delicious. Fair pricing!

Excellent food. Tried for the first time. Went to a beer and plant event and then decided to try this place. Did not disappoint. I ordered basically the house fried rice and it was so flavourful, I'm not a big calamari fan but in that fried rice it was cooked perfectly!! Will go

The establishment was full, but we found a table in the corner booth. Once we sat down a waitress greeted us very quickly and told us what the most popular plates were since it was our first time here.We got the Lomo saltado a lo pobre and the Tallarín with bistec. Both plates were huge. We got the lomo first and we got soooooo full we had to take the other one home but we tried a bit of it and it was delicious too. Service was great and prices were average coming to $40 with top included. We could've fed a family of 4 with these two plates.

It's been a long time since I've had good Peruvian food!! The chicken was delivered hot and flavorful. The yuca also had a nice crunch. I was so grateful they didn't forget to pack the green sauce too. This will certainly be one of my new go-to places because you can tell the food is made with love. Definitely give this spot a try!!

This is a little gem in Longwood. Chicken was so good. I haven't had good Peruvian style chicken in a while. We ordered a whole chicken that came with 2 generous side portions. We decided for Yuca Fries and Fried Plaintains. Both really good. I also ordered the Garlic Potatoes. The only item I did not like.Staff was friendly and didn't have to wait too long to get the food.Can't wait to go back. We finished that chicken in record time.. it was that good.
