“Carlos and Kevin took great care of us. The lavender blueberry margaritas and food were excellent! I went with the Lomo a lo Pobre which had tender steak, crispy and fluffy fries, sautéed veggies, fried egg and plantain. There wasn’t a grain of rice left when I was done.

I’ll be back and soon! ¡Salud!“

“It was fabulous! I loved how much thought went into the meal and the whole place showed the care and love behind the creations. The food and service were spectacular!“

“Been to this location and the DC one and they do not disappoint! Ceviches were fresh and flavorful, generous portions for main dishes that felt like elevated comfort food. I cook a lot at home and wanted something that felt home cooked without having to cook it myself and this was exactly that. One of my favorite restaurants!“

“se los recomiendo todo muy bueno 👌“

“This by far as been the best food I've tasted with soul and flavor. The portions and cost are within anyone's reach but the flavor is top notch. Will absolutely recommend and visit again!“

“Good place to eat, carne asada is so delicious 😋“

“I’ve passed this place a million times and never paid attention until now. Fantastic Peruvian chicken experience: the 1/2 white meat chicken, yucca fries, and plantains were all so flavorful. My sister ordered the chicken saltados over yucca friends (instead of regular fries—pro move IMO) which was flavorful and good.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is clean. I won’t be sleeping on this place anymore. Can’t wait to come back!“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“It is imperative to acknowledge that Mi Rico Peru restaurant stands as a culinary destination unlike any other, nestled along Franconia Rd. Their seafood offerings, along their other dishes, are nothing short of exceptional, complemented by impeccable service. My capricious and also discerning appetite keep bringing back, whenever I’m in the area. IM“

“This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite. There is one table, and plenty of space inside of the bar next door to eat, but I love having the option to just grab-n-go when I want something really good to eat at home. There is a good amount of side options and entrees, and you can order from a couple different menus, similar to a ghost kitchen, if you're in the mood for a different type of cuisine.“

“Bonito lugar, la comida muy rica“

“Love to join them again“

“This place looked good so we wanted to give it a try. We got the pollo saltado (chicken with red onion and fries in a tasty sauce with rice) and pesto lomo (beef with spaghetti in a basil pesto). Both were served with garlic bread, and both were delicious. I asked for the chicken to be without tomatoes. Unfortunately it was served with tomatoes, but Geraldine apologized and quickly replaced it with no tomatoes. We also tried the raspberry cola inglesa (yum) and flancocho - a chocolate / vanilla-ish (?) cake that was delicious. The prices seemed a bit high, but the food and menu seemed very authentic. 100% Peruvian according to them... Our bill said "Hot and cold" so maybe it's their partner?“

“Muy buena atención, la comida deliciosa ✌🏻✌🏻“

“We recently ordered from Spin Pollo Restaurant, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and prepared with real care. The portions were incredibly generous, giving us more than enough for everyone, and every single person at the event commented on how much they enjoyed their meal. It’s rare to find a place where every dish hits the mark, but Spin Pollo truly delivered.

What impressed us just as much as the food was the level of customer service. The team was attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making sure everything went smoothly. Their professionalism and kindness made the experience even better, and it’s clear they take pride in both their food and the way they treat their customers.

Thank you to Spin Pollo for providing such excellent food and exceptional service. We were thoroughly pleased and will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended!“

“Nice! The food was good and a very accommodating staff.“

“Excellent Peruvian food. You feel like at home. Friendly staff“

“Decided to stop by today for lunch and was happy I did . I got myself half a chicken and three sides and my choice didn’t disappoint . I really enjoyed the green sauce they gave me for the chicken. I think it’s under new ownership , the place looks different and there’s many new dishes on the menu . Loved the variety !“

“Sopa de gallina muy buena Lomo saltado“

“I’m a little late with this review… but a few days ago, we ordered lunch here because all my coworkers couldn’t stop raving about how good the food is. I called in, and the woman who picked up (later found out her name is ASIA) was so kind and patient despite our large order, which included multiple menu items. I also really appreciated how she read back our order to make sure everything was correct and nothing was missed.

When I was checking out, I noticed there was no option to leave a tip??? I asked for her name so I could at least give my girl Asia a shoutout for her AMAZING customer service and positive energy. She made me feel so welcomed from start to finish. Asia, if you’re reading this, you are the best ☺️👏🏼✨“

“Very good chicken. Carne asada excellent also.“

“food was delicious with nice portion size. Will be wishing for this upon my return to Columbus,OH.🥰“

“Delicioso, pedi Parihuela“

“super rrico todo buena atención“

“excellent chicken sandwich and I love the aguadito de Pollo ( chicken soup)“

“The food is served cafeteria style. They have a wide array of selections... From chicken to beef to fish. They have pupusas, tortas, etc. The pricing for the food is reasonable. Be on the lookout for deals! The atmosphere was okay. My only gripe was that the music was too loud.“

“As soon as we walked in, the bartenders waved us to the bar like we were old friends and were so friendly. We came at 10pm on a Friday night and didn’t know they have one side of the restaurant as a club so be warned it gets very loud because of the music. We didn’t care but I know some people may find the info useful. We got the steak fajitas and ceviche and the steak was some of the best I’ve ever had. The ceviche was really good but super spicy and a lot of lemon. We had a good laugh at the guys singing karaoke and everyone included us in the shenanigans! If you want a fun night out, try this place. If you want a quiet peaceful dinner, maybe try to dine at an earlier hour.“

“Hey, did you know this place is great? I didn't before, but boy do I now. Easy to order online/over the phone, staff is very helpful when you are trying to order for another and don't understand their request, and they are just nice when you walk in. From the moment I thought about ordering to paying for my food, I have nothing but compliments. 10/10“

“One of my favorite places in the DMV, I just love this place, and yes I get the same thing every time I go. My daughter and I get the half roast chicken, white rice topped with pinto beans, and the mixed salad with ranch dressing. The chicken is moist and slightly smoky from the charcoal, the pinto beans are slightly buttery atop the fluffy white rice. Lastly, the mixed green salad is fresh and crunchy with the slightly tangy ranch dressing. It comes with two sauces: yellow which is mild and creamy and the green which is spicy and refreshing. Did I mention I love the place “I’m loco for chicken Rico” don’t tell them I said that.“

“My husband and I went to this restaurant we don't eat out very often but we decided to stop by this one since it was close to where we were staying we went and the food was delicious a very attentive friendly young lady took our order and recommended the best combo she was very friendly and attentive, and we loved her service we didn’t have to wait for long she send the order and we got the food quickly she’s amazing I asked for her name, Kattery Barahona. Thank you so much for your excellent service! They need to hire more staff like her. Excellent service! We will definitely be back.“

“Food was delicious will be going back“

“Fantastic chicken! You can't imagine how good until you eat some.“

“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here“

“I'm always satisfied with my order from this restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, chicken is plentiful and its served relatively quickly.
