El Pollo Real

Delicious and flavorful chicken! There are dipping sauces but the chicken has so much flavor down to the bone and it was cooked fresh and to perfection. We also had sides: beans and French fries. The fries were nice and crispy and the beans were very yummy too. If you enjoy a perfectly roasted chicken, check this place out! I'm looking forward to next time :)

I'm a foodie who loves Mexican food. If the Tacos and Burrito Beef(steak) and chicken are good, I can enjoy anything on the menu with beef and chicken. When beef(steak) is dry and chicken is dry and salty, we have a problem. Also, my chicken had bones in it. I'm spoiled by great Mexican food from restaurants and even street carts in Los Angeles, California Wilmington, and the Long Beach area. They load one corn tortilla with lots of meat,I'm used to 2 because it won't fall apart while eating it, especially if you have to add sauce to not make it not so dry. I think it's time to take a trip back home to California for great food and visit family and more great food. Can someone please point me to a place in the DMV area that has good beef(steak)and chicken tacos???

I stopped here expecting mediocre food because it's located in a pretty deserted plaza and I was just desperate while waiting for my car to be repaired nearby. However, I was surprised by how their lengua tacos were actually decent. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and I liked the pale orange sauce they gave. Overall the tacos were a little bit dry but still satisfied my cravings.

I only like the Yuka, yellow rice and their soap de res is probably the best around . The chicken isn't the best sometimes it's kind of cold unless they're making it in at noon when it's fresh.

Introduction:I can't legitimately give this 1-star because it would be unfair as I didn't end up eating here in the end.I had gone carb heavy that afternoon and had almost no nutrition value that day. I had free cake at work for a birthday in the late morning and then during my work travel I had stopped at IHOP for National Pancake Day and got the 3 free stack of pancakes in the mid-afternoon. On my drive home, I suddenly got really hungry and was sweating. And I decided to just get a good amount of protein, a half-chicken. I didn't want the sides since I might've had 1600 calories up to that point at 7:30 PM [including the breakfast I had].-----Anyone Who actually Paid for 1/2 White Meat Chicken WITHOUT Sides are Getting OVERCHARGED from what the menu:Saw the menu was $10 + $0.50 for white meat. But she said the total was $11.66. I questioned the $11.66. She said the tax. I took my calculator on my phone out, and with the 6% tax, it should've been $11.13. I took the receipt and said why was it $11; the menu said $10.50. They seemed confused. I said give me my $0.50 back for the difference from what I was charged and what the menu said. She rudely asked why do you want $0.50 back? I told her that the menu should be updated to reflect the higher cost.I could care less about the $0.50; it's not going to make or break the bank for me. It's the principle of countless people overpaying from what the menu reflected.I told her give me my money back. It's stupid of them to not give the $0.50 back because they lost my business, and I'm writing a negative Yelp review that others will see. And it's too bad because the chicken looked really good.In summary, if I get an apology from the owner/manager and some compensation for my trouble of going over there, I would give this place a try, but they need to charge the amount shown on the menu -AND/OR- they need to change the menu to show $1 up-charge for white meat. Otherwise, anyone who gets certain menu items will keep getting overcharged.----One interesting side note:This is one of only of the only examples of a time when I walked out without eating. Oddly enough, something similar happened at the Vietnamese place across the street (see that review), I walked out without ordering food, but it didn't have to do with the prices being wrong, but that half the menu items weren't even available, and it was hot in there close to the temp of the outside that summer day. Ironically, that Wendy's across the street from El Pollo Real has the best customer service of any location I ever went to.

Really delicious and authentic rotisserie chicken! (Spanish style rotisserie!)They also have several Peruvian dishes which are also delicious!I recommend you try:-Tallarín Verde (Basil Pesto sauce)-Seco de Carne (Stew Beef in a Cilantro sauce)-Aji de Gallina (Chicken & sliced Potatoes in a cream sauce)-Chupe de Camarones (Shrimp Chowder)-Arroz Chaufa (Fried rice, not your typical type!)But DO try the chicken first!!!Enjoy your meal!

I don't know why other people rated this place a one star. This place is actually legit and very good with flavor and portions. The only thing I could complain about is that the bottom of the flan looks burnt. Other than that, excellent meal.Chicken is very flavorful and tender. The green rice was awesomeee. And the yuca was great but way too huge in chunks.

Wow, just off the beaten trail of Rockville Pike lies El Pollo Real. Peruvian cuisine is not popular around me, so while on an excursion to the DC area I figured I'd give it a try. For $14.88 I got half a chicken, yucca fries, rice and beans and a 20oz Inca Cola. Best $14.88 I've ever spent. Chicken was flavorful and tender. The meat literally fell off the bone. Rice and beans were a savory and hearty side. The yucca was fried golden to perfection. Three dipping sauces accompanied my dish all were complimentary in their own way. For those of you thinking, yeah it's a chicken joint, NO! It's the BEST chicken joint. Incredibly authentic and flavorful. The bilingual staff was very helpful, kind and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Came in to get some tacos, the menu said the taco platers were $13.50 but I was charged $15 Inaccurate pricing, and when it was pointed out, they didn't fix the issue. Bad customer service.

LOVE THIS PLACE HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The customer service is amazing and they always make sure you get exactly what you want. Proportions are great also. Getting your monies worth every time.
