Pollo Amigo

Very cozy and welcoming place. For starters is not Mexican, it's Peruvian with some Mexican dishes. The servings are very fulfilling and tasty, I ordered the carne asada (grilled beef), it comes with a side of rice, beans and salad also 2 handmade tortillas. One of the best things about this place is even though the food is already cut, you can feel the freshness of it, once in your mouth. Local place, excellent service, affordable for the serving size.

Wow. Very disappointed in this place. I stopped in around 4:00 so hungry because I missed lunch. Ordered 3 chicken tacos. Take out only because of Covid. Tipped on receipt just because. They wanted me to wait outside....fine. When they brought the food out, I asked for some hot sauce which I love. The gentleman said it was the pico de gallo that was sauce. HMMM. Well I was disappointed. It wasn’t bad but enough for about 1 taco. I went back in and asked for more and they said it would cost another $2.00 or something. That’s just crazy when there was not enough to begin with. The overall chicken tacos were not great. Little chunks of hard chicken without the wonderful flavoring and spices I thought I would get. On top of that, they wouldn’t give me any hot sauce or pico de Gallo. Very disappointed and would not go again. Ever!

I’d call it a 4.7. Very friendly, always ready on time, and most importantly, the food is always delicious. We stick with mostly the Peruvian dishes, but everything we’ve ordered has been delicious. We try to order something new each time, plus what we know we like, and have never been dissatisfied. Excellent dishes include fried plantains, carne asada, lomo soltada, and whole chicken. Did I mention the fried plantains- wow! 😉
