About Pollo Riko

Pollo Riko is a rotisserie chicken restaurant known for its delicious and well-seasoned chicken. The owners put effort into serving warm and savory meals, making it a favorite among customers for over 20 years. The restaurant's rib soup is especially popular, with a broth described as exquisite and amazing. Many customers enjoy the roasted chicken, finding it to be a great value and highly recommended for both dinner and lunch. The restaurant also offers a dish called Montañero, which has received lots of praise for its delicious taste. Customers often mention the side orders are generally wonderful, though the Arepas can sometimes be dry, salty, and hard. While the chicken can sometimes be slightly dry, the overall experience remains satisfying. The place is located right outside an office building, where the smell of chicken cooks fills the air. The restaurant has a special deal for about $10, including a quarter of a chicken, two sides like rice, corn, or potatoes, and a drink. The light but flavorful beef soup is also a favorite. Payment is cash only in store, but credit card payments are available via the online app with a QR code for convenience. Orders take about 10 to 15 minutes, and the restaurant is always busy with families and takeout orders. There’s plenty of seating for dine-in customers, and the atmosphere is very family-oriented, with many families enjoying lunch or dinner together. Overall, Pollo Riko is a popular choice for flavorful rotisserie chicken and tasty side dishes.
