My family and I have been eating at pollo rancheros for over a decade. The food there - particularly the flautas with that yellow sauce - have brought us comfort and satisfaction for as long as I can remember. Can’t recommend the spot enough. Good place for good conversation, with the best salsa in the area.

I’ve been going to this restaurant on and off for a couple of years now. They have delicious food and generous portions for the price. I give it 4 stars due to an issue many years ago. Suffice to say I only pay with cash or Apple Pay (NFC payment)

I unknowingly went here after work. I bought a whole chicken, rice, yucca & a margarita while I wait. The best peruvian I have every had! And the dipping sauce on point ?The margaritas need more flavor. The service fast and friendly. And the portions awesome. I will be a frequent visitor.
