El Pollo Sabroso

Food is very good, place is clean and spacious. The chicken 1/2 with 2 sides was a great deal and came out fast. 10 out of 10.

I love this spot! Delicious yuca fries and rice pilaf. The chicken is out of this world. The ambiance is friendly and warm, with fast service. This is a great place for dine in or take out. Well worth a visit!

This place is the bomb! We were walking around, looking for a late night bite and stumbled upon this absolute gem. The chicken was succulent and flavorful. The sopa was so warm and comforting. Prices are reasonable and serving sizes are healthy. Definitely stop by!

We got an amazing family combo deal (could feed 3-4 people) for only $45! IT included a whole chicken, 3 sides, and 5 pupusas. The chicken was delicious and very juicy! I enjoyed the green hot sauce, but not the sweet white sauce. It was more like yum yum sauce than the typical yellow sauce for Peruvian chicken. The beans were ok, but we enjoyed the plantains and yucca. The pupusas were also really solid! I liked their slaw and salsa a lot.

I've been OBSESSED with Pascado frito lately and have been going to many restaurants in the DMV to find the best one. This is definitely in my top 3 (I can't decide to place it #2 or #3) however since I did order through Uber eats, I'm positive that if I ordered and dine in at the restaurant while it's hot and fresh it would be #2 EASILY! I will have to go in for another shot but even for delivery it was amazing!

This is some of the BEST (and only) authentic Latin American food in DC! The fresh pupusas are some of the best things I've every eaten (I would have attached a picture but I finished them so quickly!). If you're looking for authentic Latin American and El Salvadorian food in DC, this is THE spot!

Went here with a friend and loved it! I've never had Peruvian chicken and really wanted to try out this place. The yucca was my favorite part. It tasted like a potato, but the white sauce with it was so tasty! The chicken and rice were good too. The green sauce was nice, but a bit too spicy if you're not great with spices. Still liked it though, just couldn't have a lot of it. The horchata was refreshing as well. Overall, I will be back! Quick and efficient! They also have pupusas if you want some.

A few years back this was my spot. I remember buying Pollo Sabroso to-go in to devour while watching the Season 3 premiere of Scandal. But much like Scandal, Pollo Sabroso's quality declined noticeably. I haven't eaten here since 04 July 2016 but before that this was a favorite spot of mine. Since then, I cut my meat intake by more than half but my data bank contains extensive information on Peruvian chicken/pollo a la brasa. And from my past experiences here and my cumulative time loving Peruvian chicken/pollo a la brasa and this last meal didn't measure up.The first iffy thing that I thought was though I got of a chicken everything was placed in the sub shaped to-go container and not the container with the slot for the main and the two spaces for the two sides. The next thing I noticed was that the meal didn't come with the little side salad como antes.To be honest, I could've taken those moves on the chin, understanding how hard things could be for small businesses but to eat my meal and to not find it satisfying.... :-(I guess the great Slim Charles was correct when he said..."The thing about the old days--they the old days."

Yummy food. My go-to is the grilled chicken salad which is large (two meals for me) and very satisfying. Have also had the mixed grill which I enjoyed but knocked a star off as they overcooked the steak which was thin so it was noticeable.

I ordered one and a half chickens and fried yucca to go. It was ready and waiting for me when I arrived at 6pm. Unfortunately the chicken was way too overdone as to be dry and pasty, which is a shame since it was well seasoned and could have been delicious. My guess is that it was sitting since lunchtime. I honestly wish I could give this business 5 stars, since they were prompt and very nice, but the quality of the chicken was such that I really can't.
