Up until a couple weeks ago. On my way home from work, I tried to phone in an order for pick-up. Unfortunately, the phone just kept ringing. My wife swung by a little later, and the lights were out. We tried a week later again, and no luck. We are now greatly mourning the loss of this place. <br /><br />Not only was their Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949204388170063062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-72655493826585686322010-02-18T18:23:21.967-05:002010-02-18T18:23:21.967-05:00I just went for the first time tonight.

The dark meat was dry and the breast meat was even drier. I've had better rotisserie chicken from BJs. I do hope this place improves since the other Peruvian chicken place in the area, Pollo Fuego, is also very disappointing.The Greatest Thing About Todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256957937806298503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-29046243230981227352010-01-20T23:02:58.159-05:002010-01-20T23:02:58.159-05:00The kids and I tried Chick'n'Pollo for din...The kids and I tried Chick'n'Pollo for dinner tonight. The kids split the big combo platter (1/4 chicken (white), steak, chorizo, 3 sides (fries, yucca fries, fried rice - my kids like starch). I had a salad and a Thai-style chicken burrito. <br /><br />The steak was the favorite - The seasoning went really well with the meat, and the kids didn't mind the toughness of the cut.

All in all, we thought it was a solid peruvian chicken joint - not spectacular. I really think what seperates the great ones is the type and amount of marinade used.

I'm almost afraid to try either Chick'n Pollo or Pollo Fuego for fear of disappointment. Pollo Rico used to be located in a ratty old retail space with a wood-fired rotisserie.
