Was John A Jackson at El Pollo Rico a mag?
It was the same as it was when it first opened 25 years ago- awesome! Smelling the chickens cooking, seeing them rotating on the spits, and hearing the wack of the clever after I ordered my 1/4 chicken white was oddly comforting. Of course, the chicken was seasoned perfectly. View all feedback.

Still my favorite Peruvian chicken restaurant in DC. The chicken is moist and has a nice peppery flavor. Like others, I wish they had other side options like yucca, but I will keep coming regardless.

I am born and raised in Arlington and me and my family have been going here since, I was born! Pollo Rico is by far the very best Peruvian chicken in all the area and I don't care what anyone says. If you don't believe me, go there yourself and you will always see long lines no matter what the day is. Their chicken is always juicy and always have excellent flavoring that you can always remember. Fries (steak fries) and coleslaw are excellent! If you're in Arlington go andcheck it out!

Unreal. This restaurant lives up to its name?the chicken is muy muy rico. The chicken is well seasoned and unbelievably tender. It?s a cheaper, tastier version of Nando?s. Fries are wonderful, coleslaw is tasty too. Could benefit from a wider sauce selection, but otherwise, no complaints. Staff is wonderfully kind and warm. Highly recommend.

The food at this place is awesome. Come from Maryland just to get it. The lines be long but it's worth the wait.

Every time I visit Northern Virginia El Pollo Rico is a must. The chicken is always perfect. Rotisserie cooked with Peruvian spices. French fries. Cole slaw. Absolute perfection. The yellow sauce remains a mystery but I order a large yellow sauce each time. Delicious.
