Chick-O-Rico

Food was great and tasted authentic. Beyond the food's flavor was the service. The staff were super friendly and helpful- really made us feel welcome. If you're looking for Peruvian and Colombian food, this place has great food worth the price. Dessert was so good I couldn't help but take a few bites before snapping a picture of it!

Robert Young's review really hyped this place up. But in Charlotte, there's plenty of competition as far as Colombian restaurants and latin food in general and the food here was just OK. 1/2 chicken was well seasoned with crispy skin and juicy meat. The green sauce however, was not to my liking. Maybe I like how the Peruvians do it better, so no real knock on Chick O Rico, just different tastes, I guess. The red sauce had a kick and was good. I should've gotten more of those. And they were out of the yellow sauce. I found it odd that they put the chicken in the same container as the salad, which led the salad to be warm and mixed with chicken juices. Not appetizing. The beans on top of the rice were bland. They would easily benefit from a little more seasoning or just straight up salt. Fri

I really thought I was being pranked. Inwalkee into this restaurant with 2 other people. They were about 20% full but no one came out to greet us at the front desk. After a while we just walked in and they told us just to take a seat. We sat fo around 20 mins before they came to take our order, they had 5 staff members and a guy that seemed to be the manager. Two staff members were eating by the window tables and the other three taking orders. Long story short it took us approximately an hour to eat. They didn’t bring anything at the same time, the food was nothing to brag about. I added a photo of the 27 dollars snapper my husband ordered which came after my mom and I had already finished our meals.

!!! ATTENTION CHARLOTTE !!! Preface: ALL residents of charlotte NEED to come support and eat at CHICK-O-RICO Review: Chick-O- Rico is a family-owned restaurant that serves the absolute best Peruvian styled Chicken in CHARLOTTE, HANDS DOWN. I've eaten at this place 3 times in one month and each time was phenomenal. I'm not by the slightest hyping this up. The food is genuinely that good, and not to mention FRESH. All three times I have ordered a quarter chicken dark with fries, rice and beans. The Chicken. Juicy meat, crispy skin, seasoned generously, and charcoaled to perfection. Accompanying the chicken can be 1 of three sauces: Green (verde), Red - spicy (rojo), and Yellow (amarillo). The red and yellow sauces are made from red and yellow Peruvian peppers. The red sauce is NOT spicy and

I cannot express how incredible my experience was today. Since being diagnosed with Celiac, going out to eat with has become a challenge, but this restaurant exceeded every expectation I had. ​ The customer service was the most attentive I have experienced. The manager personally came to our table to discuss my allergies and ensure everything would be handled correctly. I could even see the Chef in the kitchen, and she spoke with us to ensure everything was good. After I placed my order, the manager spoke to the chef and he let me know that my initial choice might not be the best for my safety and recommended a better option instead. That level of transparency from the kitchen made me feel completely at ease. ​ I tried the new cheese empanadas they are promoting, and they were freshly mad
