I'm so happy Pollo Bravo finally reopened on Memorial Dr! It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant for Latin Peruvian cuisine. Everything wonderful from their previous menu is back. Parking is easy, service friendly, food is on point. My favorite dishes are ceviche, Lomo Saltado, rotisserie chicken, fried green plantains, chicha morada (drink), and lucuma ice cream. Even the white rice is so flavorful and has great texture. my belly is so happy! Can't wait to dine in and watch soccer games here!

The BEST ceviche I’ve had at a restaurant before. And the rotisserie chicken is absolutely amazing especially with the green sauce. Also the staff is amazing with great service

The staff is friendly and helpful. The two dishes I had were amazing!!! If they bottled the sauce for the shrimp I would buy a gallon of it! Bravo!

Wow, loveeeeed this place! I orderded a small avocado salad with 1/4 chicken (muslo and cuadril), it was perfectly cooked. The chicken plate came with 2 sides, I picked: fried plantains and fried cassava. The amount of cassava and plantains are easily for 2 people!. Now 1/4 of chicken is definitely just for 1. Lastly, very good green sauce for the chicken and cassava. I’ll keep this place in mind for future lunches. Best part service is fast and not expensive.

I’ve been going to Pollo Bravo since the had a location around richmond not exactly sure. Any way the food here is very authentic and delicious, I almost always get the half chicken with white rice and avocado salad. Their spicy green sauce that they provide is what really ties everything together. Strongly recommend.

Location is clean, the food was delicious, and service was great. I ordered Tallarines Verdes and it is served with their rotisserie chicken, yum! Their portions are great, We also had an order of crispy taquitos, sweet fried plantains and an order of French fries. I will continue to be a returning customer.

Walked it with low expectations and I was surprised. Food was very good. The chicken and rice soup was a nice way to start our lunch. Service was excellent.
