Pollos Rocoto

This must be THE place, we were trying to find the best roasted chicken in Tampa and I think we found it, we started with the ceviche carretillero mixto, it was delicious, very well balanced and seasoned, Peruvian Ceviche is one of my favorite things on earth, and this one was outstanding. My boyfriend got one of the soup and it was also sooo good, I tried a little bit and it was great! When we walked in they told us that we had to wait for the chicken at least half an hour, we decided to wait, and honestly it was sooo worth the wait, chicken was incredibly tasty and delicious! We also had to ordered one to go too.. Service is great overall, both servers on duty were so kind and on top of the table, I am definitely coming back for sure, next time I have to try their Lomo Salteado. Restaurant seems very clean, a little small but that actually made the place cozier. Best roasted chicken in Tampa.

This is some of the best Peruvian Chifa I've ever had. My husband and I LOVE Peruvian food and try new places as often as we can. This was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Tri Color Huancaina. It came with three different huancaina sauces. Absolutely delicious. Then we shared the Chaifa de pollo. Again, delicious and authentic. This is our new place to come when we are craving Peruvian. The service is amazing and it's a family owned place. Father son restaurants right next to each other! Great job !

Hands down the best chaufa in the Tampa Bay Area. The ceviche and causas are also spectacular. Small and cozy restaurante that takes you on a delectable trip to the heart of Peru. Excellent service too!

This is our second visit, the first we tried the traditional "Pollo la brasa"....because this is a good base for my wife and I as to the quality of the restaurant. It was amazing the flavors were on point and the salsas were authentically delicious. This time we ordered a "mostrito" a mix of "pollo la brasa and chaufa with salad and fries." To start the restaurant is well decorated and well laid out. It is very clean and more inviting than several other establishments we have visited. We obviously will be returning again, as well as trying out their sister full dining location Sr. Rocoto.The food yet again was delicious, the chaufa was a basic fried rice (but authentic, not Chinese buffet version) the fries and pollo were yet again perfect!

I rarely write reviews but some places truly deserve credit for their work, and I believe this is one of them. If you enjoy Peruvian food, this restaurant is a great find... High-quality ingredients. Meals are freshly prepared. Generous portions. Good presentation. Family run with personable service. Simple yet clean restaurant. Fair prices. The only problems we've found so far are that we wish we had discovered it sooner and sometimes it takes a little work to communicate (as our Spanish is about as good as some of the staff's English).Pollos Rocoto is well known for its pollo a la brasa (Peruvian rotisserie chicken), and there are so many other things that look delicious when we look around at other tables. We want to try more, but we're hooked on the ceviche and jalea (Peruvian fried fish plate) and have a hard time giving up on them to try anything else. :)If you don't normally eat Peruvian, it might be time to try. Check out their hours of operation before coming and don't be in too much of a rush. It's a small restaurant with a small kitchen -- if they are busy it might take a little while.

I don't know who was but my order got cancel at same time we went to pick up charge went true and everything. At the moment of pick up they can't find my order and I receive a email saying that my order got cancel.

The food and service in this restaurant are truly amazing. We had one of the best ceviches ever! Try the 'ceviche carretillero' to have an authentic dish from Lima. The service team was very caring and friendly. Highly recommended!

This place is nasty! I would not recommend. I would post 0 stars if I could. Cashier was rather rude at that. I would find better food for money.

Pollos Rocoto sells the best rotisserie chicken I have tried. I highly recommend this place. Price is right for family dinner. I love their yellow sauce, my favorite!
