Pollo Peru

Nestled in the heart of Herndon, VA, Pollo Peru offers an authentic taste of Peruvian cuisine centered around their signature rotisserie chicken. This cozy chicken restaurant is a haven for those craving expertly seasoned, juicy poultry that bursts with flavor from the very first bite. Their hallmark dish, the Quarter Chicken White Meat (Breast & Wing), is a standout—featuring the thickest cuts of tender white meat with less skin and lower fat, perfect for health-conscious diners who refuse to compromise on taste. The crispy wing adds a delightful textural contrast, making every morsel a balanced experience of succulence and crunch.

Pollo Peru excels in delivering satisfying combo meals that cater to all appetites. From the Quarter Chicken Combo complete with two small sides, to indulgent offerings like the Whole Chicken Combo paired with two large sides, each plate promises generous portions that leave you both full and fulfilled. Their thoughtfully curated side dishes complement the chicken beautifully without overpowering it—customers frequently note the perfectly mild seasoning of the sides as a welcome foil to the boldly seasoned chicken.

For group gatherings, the Group Meal for 6 is a true feast—eight chicken pieces accompanied by large servings of rice, beans, coleslaw, and a selection of three additional sides, all rounded out with two large sauces. It is a celebration of Peruvian comfort food meant to be shared, making any get-together all the more memorable.

The dining atmosphere at Pollo Peru is warm and inviting, creating a relaxed space where you can savor each bite without rush. Cleanliness and attentive service underscore the thoughtful experience—customers like Marc Piard praise the friendly staff and spotless environment that make every visit a pleasant one. Frances Molina’s words ring true here: the team “always gets my order right” with genuinely nice service, complementing the delicious, hearty portions served.

To round out your meal, don’t miss their delectable desserts. The Flan offers a rich vanilla custard bathed in delicate caramel syrup, while the Banana Bread Pudding presents a warm, comforting finale infused with ripe banana goodness. For chocolate lovers, the moist Chocolate Cake pleases the palate, and the buttery Alfajor—two flaky shortbread cookies filled with creamy caramel—is a sweet nod to traditional Peruvian treats. The luscious Tres Leches, soaked in sweet cream and drizzled with caramel, offers indulgence in every forkful.

Sustainability-conscious diners will appreciate Pollo Peru’s mindful choice to use cardboard containers instead of Styrofoam, minimizing environmental impact without sacrificing practicality—an effort noted and appreciated by customers like Jose Rivera.

Whether you’re dining solo, with family, or celebrating with friends, Pollo Peru promises a culinary journey rich in authentic Peruvian flavors, exemplary service, and an inviting ambiance that calls you back time and time again.
