Small place with big flavor. Their chicken is delicious every single time. My fiancé and I love the cilantro rice and fried rice. Every time we go the food is perfectly seasoned and wonderfully warm. Our go to place for chicken! The place itself is very small so it's not good for eating in, we usually get takeout. The green sauce is too spicy for us but we love the yellow sauce. Fast and friendly service too!

Amazing Peruvian chicken. Nothing else in Maryland can compete with this spot. Sides were all great as well and cooked to perfection. A must try!!!

This place is outrageously overpriced. It’s the most expensive Mexican food in the area. Just three days ago, I ordered steak burrito and small yucca from another location that’s only five minutes away (I won’t mention the name). The total was $18. Today, I came here (El Pollo Coo) and got the same meal, Steak burrito and small yucca, nothing else. The total here was $25.

Me and a friend went here for lunch. Prices were affordable and the service was quick. There was hardly any wait for our food and everything tasted incredible. Definitely recommend this place!

I probably would have never tried this place, but my wife brought home some of their food recently and it was delicious! I've been trying to persuade her to go there for lunch ever since. Today we got a barbecue chicken salad and a buffalo chicken wrap with fries. I got to try her salad and it was very good. I loved my chicken wrap and the fries were just right. I'm not sure whether it's obvious from the photos, but place is immaculately clean - absolutely spotless! There are a few small tables inside and a few tables outside as well. I think this is my new favorite place for a quick bite. It has been open for a few months, and if you've read this far, I encourage you to give it a try.
