Yeah, I was waiting on this place to open, Because It’s new to the area but the food is pretty dry and the young lady was pretty rude

Great food, everything seemed very fresh! Easy ordering on their website and it was ready on time.

Chicken is delicious, juicy, moist and tender. I eat there when I am hungry and don’t want to disappointed. It is my go to place …..little pricy but I can eat the whole chicken throughout the day and want more.
Nice staff, very courteous and helpful. I have only had the plantains and mashed potatoes….both are excellent.

What a bummer. I was stoked to try this place because they’re so close by and a semi healthy lunch option. I’m no Peruvian food expert, but I’ve had probably tried 5-6 different places in Baltimore.

Here’s what I noticed about el gran pollo :

Sauce doesn’t come with the chicken unless specified. And there is no way to do so through the DoorDash app. The green and yellow sauce is my favorite part of the meal and I didn’t get any, so I had half a chicken with no sauce at all.

The chicken is much smaller than other places like chicken Rico or Limas.

A bit pricy, a bit stingy on portion sizes.

Here’s why I’ll be back to try it again:

Chicken was so good. Even on its own, it had great flavor.

Staff was very nice and helpful

I’ll try again and make sure to get sauces and other sides

I ordered the marinated grilled shrimp, brussels sprouts, and yucca. The portion of shrimp was generous and they had a nice flavor. I'd assume the flavor is from chili oil and paprika or some similar blend. The sprouts with carrots were excellent, they were a bit spicy which I enjoyed. The Yucca was cooked perfectly, crispy outside and soft inside. Pricing is reasonable for the level of quality. It might cost a little more than what you are used to for lunch, but you are getting real, genuine food and not something processed. We'll be back!

Really great business practice to open a location then have no phone number listed and no website to order through…then even when you contact their HQ website they still don’t get back to you or provide any reliable way to get in touch with the location…

I guess this place wants to lose money

There’s no phone number listed anywhere for this location and they are not set up to order online. I wasted an hour of my life starving to death trying to find a way to contact them. What I’m ordering takes time and I don’t want to sit and wait in their restaurant for an hour.

Great food, Great Staff.

This recently just opened. Me and my bf been here twice the first time we got the Peruvian chicken with 2 sides. The chicken was nice and tender and juicy. We had also got the ceviche it was delicious but i will say the corn that comes with it was not the best. Idk how to describe the texture but it was kinda rubbery. We also got a cake which was amazing as well i love the icing on it. The second visit we got one of the soups it had different mixes of seafood in it and it comes with a side of rice. The only thing i will say on the menu it says crab is included in the soup. we didnt get any pieces of crab and that was the main reason i got the soup. Lastly we had got the Pescado saltado that was honestly one of my favorite meals ive had in a while. We will be making this our go to spot thank you for the great service and food.

I was glad they finally open.. I must say the food is good its my second time there. I got the chicken, string beans and red potatoes w/carrots and I did get the Buffalo chicken. The reason I gave 4 stars is because the food was not hot. When you have food sitting out it must be at a hot or warm temperature. I will definitely go again.
