A
local
favorite
of
NoVA,
enjoyed
even
by
Anthony
Bourdain,
El
Pollo
Rico
is
known
as
the
place
to
go
to
try
Peruvian
chicken.
Their
yuca
fries
are
INCREDIBLE!!!
The
crispy
outside,
the
fluffy
insides,
the
unique
yuca
potato
taste...I'm
making
myself
hungry
just
thinking
about
it
again.
Their
Peruvian
chicken
is
excellent,
especially
when
dining
in,
since
you
get
to
eat
it
fresh.
I
will
say
their
plantains
have
not
been
as
crispy
edged
as
I
prefer,
but
still
delicious
nonetheless.
The
one
thing
I
wouldn't
recommend
ordering
here
is
their
desserts,
especially
their
tres
leches.
It
comes
in
a
cup
and
is
more
like
a
parfait
of
dos
leches
than
tres...I
couldn't
taste
any
of
the
soaked
evaporated
or
condensed
milk
personally.
Their
alfajores
are
amazing
when
they're
good,
but
they
can
be
inconsistent
in
quality
in
my
humble
opinion.
Lines
get
long
during
peak
hours,
order
online.
If
you
order
online
there's
a
separate
pickup
window
line,
however,
since
this
is
Peruvian
chicken
they
will
prep
it
for
you
when
you
arrive,
not
before
you
arrive
FYA.
Plenty
of
dining
room
indoors.
It's
fast
casual.
They
have
tap
pay.
There
is
a
parking
lot
for
the
place
but
not
a
lot
of
spots
during
peak
hours.
