Peruvian Restaurants near Fairfax, VA

“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.“

“Hands down the best Peruvian chicken in town! The rotisserie chicken is juicy, flavorful, and that green sauce is addictive. Portions are generous and the fries are perfectly crispy. Service was friendly and fast. We’ll definitely be back.“

“The food was delicious . I really enjoyed the fried yucca. It was light and crispy for yucca fries. I really enjoy the chicken, it was flavorful and juicy. The fried rice could have been a little better. It was sitting in the warmer for a while, so it was a bit on the dry side. Overall, great place to have something quick and convenient.“

“The lomo is so good it made my day☺️“

“Tienen gran variedad de platos y un excelente servicio.. Se los recomiendo!!“

“Came here on a quiet evening and ended up having one of those properly memorable meals you weren't expecting. The food was on top form — proper flavours, generous portions, the kind of cooking that makes you stop talking for a minute because you're concentrating on the next bite. Our server was lovely, took proper time with us, and made some great suggestions when we asked. The atmosphere was warm and unhurried, perfect for a proper long meal with good conversation. We worked through a couple of courses and a bottle of wine without watching the clock. The bill was very fair. Going back next week with friends“

“The food was excellent! We will definitely be coming back. We were seated quickly and our food was brought out promptly. Dani, our server, was sweet, attentive, and made great recommendations on drinks. Also, this was some of the best ceviche I’ve had! My husband and I will be back.“

“Amazing food and drinks… fun“

“Vast Peruvian style menu. Best lomo saltado! Great empanadas! try the seco de cordero (lamb stew). Great prices!“

“Excelente , el mejor anticucho , pancita y choncholi de Virginia. 100% recomendado.“

“It’s a small restaurant not plenty of tables available. Really enjoyed their salsapiches and pupusas had a good cheese pull experience. We went back to try their Peruvian style chicken family deal and were floored! A-MAZING quality and taste!!!“

“LOVED Madina Pollo Reina! We got the chicken kabobs and they were soooo delicious! All of our sides were really tasty, too! We also got vegetable samosas which were perfectly fried! The spicy green sauce with the samosas was great! Definitely ordering from there 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?“

“Bonito lugar, la comida muy rica“

“This was close to work and I have been wanting to try this place. I had the carne asada platter. Nice portion size. Steak, plantains, rice with a nice egg on top. I substituted fries for yuca. I also ordered the papa rellena. Horchata was delicious. The staff were friendly and the service was great. The atmosphere was very casual.“

“I love the empanadas with the sauce, and the chicken is so delicious has good flavor, the cookies are very good“

“Excelentes servicios le doy un 10“

“This place can be great, they just need more training. I went in to get a whole chicken, it seemed like the kitchen was going down because of a line of a few people. I had to wait to get the chicken, but the chicken was fresh and tasted great. I hope they can get organized in the kitchen and clean it up a bit because the layout of the restaurant and the menu is very nice.“

“Great experience! Best food. Excellent experience with new Management.“

“It’s the best broiled chicken I’m was eat !!! The atmosphere was very friendly“

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

“Fui el jueves pasado y estaba horriblr la comida. El arroz ligoso. y para terminar cuando fui al baño, habian cucarachas! ahi mismo vomite y uno de los que atiende me ofrecio otro plato y le pedi mi dinero y me fui. Es un lugar estresante tan bien le gritan a los empleados y no los tratan bien.“

“Pollo Xpress has become our family’s favorite restaurant! I’d argue they might have the best burgers and wings in the area🤤🍔🍗! My son even cleans his plate with their chicken, rice and fries. Now, with a new breakfast all day menu (haven’t tried it yet, but can’t wait) added, I’m sure this place will stay at the top of our list! This high praise from a tough food critic. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed!“

“Excellent pollo a la brasa, very good flavor, not just the skin, but it's been well marinated, so the whole chicken is flavorful and tender. Highly recommend trying it out. Ceviche is only on the weekends so I didn't have a chance to try it. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Good options of sides, had the pure de espinaca and it was a delicious home-made taste.“

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

“Incredible hidden gem! Had a friend recommend this spot to me. The family meal is an incredible deal and the chicken is soooo flavorful! This place was a big hit for my fam including my son who is a very picky eater! 10/10 rec. Staff is so friendly!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for many years, going all the way back to when this place was called El Rancho. Even back then, it was my go-to spot for Peruvian chicken. The skin was always perfectly cooked, the chicken was marinated to perfection, and the level of service was consistently excellent.

Over the years, the restaurant evolved into Hondu Pollo, introducing Honduran flavors alongside their classic Peruvian dishes. In my opinion, this change only made the place better. The menu now offers a great mix of Honduran and Peruvian options, and everything I’ve tried has been flavorful and satisfying.

One thing I truly appreciate is how welcoming the environment is. I don’t speak Spanish, and at times I feel like I might be the only non-Spanish speaker in the room lol but that has never been an issue. The staff has always been friendly, patient, and helpful, and I’ve consistently felt welcomed every time I visit.

They’ve also made some updates to the interior over the years. There’s now a small bar area where the coolers used to be, and interestingly enough, they even have slot machines. At first, you might think that would make the place less family-friendly, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. I still see families with children there all the time, and the environment remains comfortable and community-oriented.

If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be menu pricing accuracy. On my most recent visit, I ordered the pollo saltado, which was listed on the screen as $14.99, but the receipt showed $16.99, bringing the total to just under $19 with tax. The price is still reasonable for the portion and quality, but updating the menu boards for accuracy would improve transparency and prevent confusion.

That said, this place absolutely earns five stars from me. I’ve had Peruvian chicken from many places over the years, and Hondu Pollo remains one of the best I’ve ever had. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, the service is reliable, and the welcoming atmosphere keeps me coming back year after year.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Peruvian and Honduran cuisine.“

“Good food [Original] Good food“

“King Pollo is a go-to lunch spot during the work week for the fast service and delicious food. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and well seasoned. You have to try the chicken of course but my favorite to get here are the pupusas! They are so good and the best in the area, but since they are made to order (as they should be) you will have to wait a bit but it’s 100% worth it.“

“Ordered the 1/4 chicken meal with a drink and it was delicious! ? The chicken was well seasoned, moist, and so flavorful! Rice and salad were good as well. Also enjoyed the white and green (mildly spicy) sauce. Yum, yum, yum…and nicely priced for the plentiful portions received! ?? We took our food to go, but the atmosphere was generally roomy - nothing overly fancy - just ok.“
