El Karpollo | Jefferson St. offers a diverse menu with standout dishes. The ceviche is praised for its spicy and zesty flavors, while the fried fish is described as delicious with its accompaniments. The chaufa criollo (fried rice) is particularly well-executed, and the chicken is juicy with crispy skin, although some find it under-seasoned. The fries are surprisingly good, especially when paired with the restaurant's fantastic green sauce. Portions are generous, and the overall value is considered high. Customers often mention the food's freshness, as if everything uses ingredients that have just been brought in. However, service issues have been reported, including forgotten orders and slow responses, with some customers experiencing a wait of over 30 minutes and staff forgetting to put in orders. Despite these problems, many appreciate the food's quality, noting that the fish and other dishes taste very fresh. Parking can be difficult to find, and the place is not very pretty or comfortable, but the food remains highly praised.
