Amazingly delicious and moist chargrilled chicken with just enough crisp and spices. Ive tried both this place and Edys across the street. The Chicken Place is hands down the best. Edys chicken had a strong cumin spice rub, some dry parts, and a more commercialized feel. The chicken place had a more homestyle and authentic feel to it. Ive only had the chicken, thats what the regulars seem to only order and come here for. The horchata and desserts are good, but I definitely had better. Fun to watch the fire burning oven in the back and guy chopping the chicken.

Horrible place. Unclean. The rice is flavorless and bland. And thats not just my opinion. Both coworkes felt cheated for what we paid. The chicken also lacked flavor. The sauces they provide are watery and dont taste like they should. They only give you an option for only one side and you have to have a side salad. If you want another side you have pay extra. I guess the side salad was ok since its just lettuce so i would have hoped they at least got the lettuce fresh. Would not recommend. Its my last time visiting that place. You have been warned.

This is a disgrace of a place. A friend was extremely disrespected in front of her child having his food pretty much thrown at him by THE BUSINESS OWNERS DAUGHTER. Customer service is key to any business. I dont care if the food is good or not. If an entity has staff or owners who treat people like animals, they do not deserve to be opened. Dont go to this place unless you want to be looked down on like a second class citizen. Disgusting.... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. You will pay just to get disrespected BY THE OWNERS! Unbelievable!!!!

A Arlington favorite. If you like chicken you are at the right place. I recommend getting the half chicken as there is more meat on it. For a family is order the whole chicken. The sides are delicious. The plantanos, black beans and rice are my favorites. The fries are also good. Laid back atmosphere. Youll hear English and Spanish at this place.

Nothing special here. Wanted to try cuz of the reviews but here is my honest review. Chicken was just plain old chicken, not great. Side of rice was bland with nothing in it. The yuca was the only thing good about the meal. They only give one small ass cup of the white sauce and charge extra for more. And the sauce wasnt even that good.

I am Peruvian and I think I have better opinion because My food experience go back to my childhood. The chicken doesnt taste like Peruvian. The yuca was raw. The sauces are not originally what we use in my country and the only good thing was the alfajor that of course these people dont make. Very disappointed. 4.1 stars rating.....please???

Best chicken in town. My wife and I stopped by last night as we often do. We ordered one chicken meal and it came with 2 salads and french fries. The chicken came right off of the spit and was still hot. The salsa verde that it comes with it absolutely delicious. I would recommend everyone to check this place out.

For 7.99 dls, I expect something better, 1/4 of chicken too small and the flavor? nothing special. plus you have to pay 25c for each aditional salsa that you want !!!! and they give you only one, which ones are free in any other spanish restaurant. not worth it... look for a better option.

El mejor pollo a la brasa que existe en el área de Virginia, porque es recien horneado, y crujiente, me encanta The Chicken Place

This place by far is the best chicken in all of the DMV area. Their chicken is well tendered and soft. Their sauce by far is the best which I totally recommend. Their place when I was there was clean all around. It had a great atmosphere. I would totally recommend this place.

I drove by this place several times before finally stopping in, but boy am I glad I did. They have amazing flavor in their chicken and the prices arent bad. It can get crowded however and they dont have a whole ton of seating unfortunately.

Mmm el pollo es muy rico, jugoso y mas con la salsita que se acopaña le da el toque perfecto.

Absolutely love this place. Better chicken and service then Eddys chicken in my opinion. The food is fresh, always savory and quick. Small parking lot space and small place to eat inside, but the food makes up for it.

Están espantando a los clientes con cobrar 25centabos por una salsa blanca y por la salsa picante

The chicken and sauce was very poorly prepared and the business should not advertise Peruvian. I was very disappointed and all went into the trash. I will not be a repeat customer and the service was not great.

This place is great, I eat here at least twice a week. Everything on the menu is delicious and at a great price. The chicken here is always fresh and juicy, I have never had dry or burnt chicken here.

This chicken is the best! Always has been always will. Their yellow sauce is so so delicious, I always get the large container for $2. Although they can get busy they are very fast with the food.

I was introduced to this small shop about 3 months ago I have since been coming here for lunch or dinner at least 3 times a month. I have brought my family and friends. This place is the best.

This place is horrible.. First time, and the last time. I heard this was a good place for charcoal chicken, and we were not impressed at all!! The staff is rude, and the restaurant is dirty

This is THE best Peruvian chicken anywhere, hands down. Parking is horrible, seating isnt great, but the food is wonderful. If you dont like the atmosphere, get it to go.

Best chicken in the area. I have been coming to this place before there was such things as online reviews. I have to mention parking, but other than that great food.

This place is on point. Since I was 9 years old I would come to this place. Now I drive all the way from Centerville to have the best chicken! El major Pollo

Dry chicken, very limited side orders and no vegetables. With the number of good Peruvian chicken places in the area, no reason to settle for this one.

This is a delicious chicken prepared on coal. It is fast and healthy one. Employees are nice. Parking available but sitting is limited
