El Pollo Peruano Reviews
Tallarin saltado was fantastic and the portion was definitely good for two meals. I also learned about chifa, Peruvian-Cantonese fusion, in general: what a fantastic and wide world we live in, that blends so many flavors into new and distinct, delicious foods!
Best empanadas in NYC! Highly recommend
This place is amazing, the food is delicious! We ordered the seafood fried rice, lomo saltado, tamales an d empanadas. Everything tastes just like home 💗

El Pollo Peruano offers generous portions of flavorful food, making it a popular choice for many. The beef empanada is a standout, perfectly seasoned and lovely. The chicken, rice, and beans are also good, with the chicken often decently seasoned, though the breast can sometimes be dry. The chicken, rice, and beans are popular dishes, and the chicken broth with ginger juice is a highlight, reminding some customers of home. The lomo saltado, aguadito, and rice with seafood are highly praised for their delicious taste. The restaurant also serves fried seafood jelly and Lomito, both in large portions that can be shared or enjoyed solo. The green sauce is available in adequate amounts, though some find its flavor lacking, as it can taste like raw jalapeños and cilantro without much seasoning. Service is generally very good, with attentive and caring staff, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. El Pollo Peruano is a highly-rated restaurant that offers flavorful dishes and good service, making it a hidden gem for those craving authentic Peruvian food.
