The food is so good. I order the chicken soup which is made with big chunks of chicken string beans now tie noodles potatoes carrots and not salty. I love the chicken which has sides of rice and beans or sweet plantains. They have salads and guacamole with chips. It's a clean restaurant and the service is great. They also deliver. A must try which is easily located on 18th Avenue.
I love the food chicken with rice and beans. I will try the seafood rice and pernil next time.
I haven't really tried many paella dishes but the paella here is heavenly! I ordered takeout and the paella can take some time to cook. The rice was jam packed with seafood flavor and it was not too acidic. They are also quite generous with the seafood meat! I docked 1 star because of the chicken rice. Honestly, I wouldn't suggest this dish. The chicken was awfully dry and didnt offer much flavor. But definitely I will be back for that paella and I highly recommend to try out the paella!
Busy place so I knew it would be good and El Pollo did not disappoint. No anticuchos here but they have all the classic dishes like rotisserie chicken, lomo saltado, stews, and plantains. Most importantly their ajiverde green sauce is perfecto.
Ok. I enjoyed my food a lot! I read the reviews and they were definitely a mixed bunch of opinions but I went with my gut on this one and was not disappointed. They got my order right! Chicken was not dry. It was very flavorful . I don't know if I would order the empanada again. Not Because of the Taste- it did taste good but because I'm a traditional girl. I want my regular crust. I wasn't with the whole biting into a dinner roll type thing . I will be ordering again, and I would also recommend this to someone looking for some Spanish food!
