El Pollo Rico
Quick Take
Don't let the long lines here scare you -- the staff works like a well-oiled machine when it comes to chopping the juicy Peruvian-style chickens.

Can't Compare, A DC Tradition
I love this place. I was taken here when I first moved here and I couldn't get enough. I brought my parents here last year on a visit, they loved it. You can't have home cooking but you can have next best thing!
Many will try to imitate,
But they will never duplicate. As someone wrote before me this place is better than most in Lima. This is the real deal, Peruvian owned and operated and Peruvian approved by me ;)
The measuring stick
El Pollo Rico is by far the best Peruvian Chicken place in the Metro area. I have been going there since the early 90's when they were across the street from the little trolley. Since then their Chicken has remained consistent and always tasty. I measure all others against El Pollo Rico and very few come close - even some places in Lima could use their recipe...
Best Peruvian Roto Chicken around
Terrific food at a bargain price. The chicken is simply the best in the metro area, and the thick steak-fries are almost as good. Don't let the long lines scare you off; they move fast.
