If you're in the mood for great Peruvian style chicken, stop by Pollo Central in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. I've been getting carryout there for 2 years and they never disappoint. My go-to order is 1/2 chicken with fries and beans. In addition, I'll add some street tacos on the side. Everything is excellent. You can't go wrong with either chicken or al pastor with the street tacos, and the mayonnaise sauce I use for dipping my fries is addictive! The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is quick and efficient, so the wait is never long. Whether you're dining in or waiting for carryout, there are two large screens showing international soccer matches or news to help pass the time. This is a perfect after work stop for a great, reasonably priced dinner.

I got carry out and it was delicious… chicken, vegetables, arroz chaufa, yuca… all excellent.

Great tacos and soup, terrible customer service. Rudest staff in the DMV! Since this restaurant is on the way home from my office I usually place an order online as I'm leaving to take for the family. Almost always the elote is burned and chicken old and dry. Find it hard to believe that they roast the chicken the morning before serving. Yesterday I brought home a whole chicken, vegetables, chaufa rice and elote corn. Most of the chicken and corn were inedible.

The food in the place is very good, but the customer service is really bad, the cashiers are always defensive and not very accessible to customers and are very blunt in their treatment and responses.

Well, the lady at the front who charges is very pedantic to answer. I asked her a question and she came out annoyed with a stupid answer and if you don't like it she told me, talk to the manager, look at this lady's answer. I don't think I'll ever go buy chicken again. central I do not recommend it

I didn't like it, the chicken was a little salty, the waiter is not very friendly, they throw the plates and the potatoes fall off the plate

*** YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED *** Delicious grilled chiken and very great Yuca ? SIDE SAUCE WAS AWSOME ... very nice place I also got Tres leches cake ? I ate two !!!! Sooo good no lie....
Parking: Plenty of spots huge parking lot
Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere and friendly music
Wheelchair accessibility: Floor level with ramps very accessible and tables for wheelchairs too
I cannot give an honest opinion about the food except it smelled good. If you're planning on sitting down and eating, order for pick up and take home. There isn't indoor seating; it's outside on what little sidewalk there is. Cars coming in and out of the parking lot. The tables that I was told were Pollo Central were dirty, sticky and small. Also if you choose to eat there bring your own wipes.

Placed a to-go order, wait wasn't too bad given it was the dinner rush and it was a fairly large order (about 7-10 minutes wait). Can see the people making the food, they also have a few TVs to watch while waiting/eating.Street Tacos were fantastic (the carnitas were my favorite). The yellow sauce is delicious, very mild.Note: the plantains are sweet and not fried green plantains (both are awesome but was hoping for the green plantains, there was a miscommunication when I asked about them)
Parking: Open parking located in a shopping center. Can be busy/crowded.
