El Pollo Rico is known for its delicious and high-quality chicken, with phenomenal sauces that enhance the flavor. The vibrant and fun interior design with colorful chairs makes dining in a pleasant and very kid friendly experience. Customers often praise the flavorful, well-smoked Peruvian chicken, which is always fresh, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The chicken is very nicely seasoned and offers good portions, making it a favorite in the DMV area. However, some reviewers mention that the sauces can be very bland and the sides, like the rice and beans, leave room for improvement. The coleslaw has lots of mayo and the beans have tons of soggy cilantro. Despite some issues with takeout orders, the food remains a highlight, offering great value and consistent quality, especially for those seeking a tasty meal near Fairfax.
