Reviews For Poyoteca Peruvian Chicken

Very nicely seasoned chicken and great sides, my favorite being the yucca fries. My absolute favorite thing here is the spicy green sauce, which I believe is called Aji Verde. Goes great with the chicken and yucca fries.

Love this place. I live around the corner and this is a welcome addition to the already diverse choices available in the Falls Grove shopping area. Food is always spot on and the portions are more than ample. I strongly recommend you check it out.

This food was delicious!!!!!! We ordered the quarter chicken meal with dark chicken, yucca fries, & steak fries, the lomo saltado, a small side of plantains, and an alfajor. Everything was incredibly tasty and the prices are so reasonable. The chicken was juicy, the fries were fluffy and crispy, the beef was well seasoned, the plantains were immaculate, and the alfajor was to die for. I think the quality of food here was very comparable to crisp and juicy, which I feel like has some great Peruvian food, so I’m glad I found another spot where I can get my fix. The sauces were also delicious; I only wish we had more of it! The food was all incredibly fresh, seasoned well, and very satisfying. Everyone who worked in the restaurant was also very kind! The inside of the restaurant has a cool aesthetic and vibe. In a plaza where it’s surrounded by so many other buzzing restaurants, I hope they’re getting the foot traffic they deserve! I hope to be back soon.

The walls are vibrant, the staff is hard-working and kind, and the chicken is probably the best Peruvian Rotisserie available in the area! The fast casual lunch crowd pours in around 12:30 on weekdays; don’t assume there won’t be a slight wait upon arrival. I opted for the Chicken Saltado bowl, which was flavorful and just as delicious as it looked. Great use of color and versatile textures. All fresh. If you want the biggest bargain for your buck, opting for the half or whole Chicken with 2 or 3 sides is the way to go. Vegetables were noticeably fresh and looked amazing! Haven’t had an Inca Cola since 3rd grade! Was ecstatic to see it available on the Menu. Will definitely be back! Thanks again to the courteous staff!

I live 3 minutes from here and went with my brother early January of this year but did not eat anything at the time. Knowing how he operates, if he says something is good, then 99.7 of the time, he is accurate. Fast forward to today, I felt compelled to venture out a bit. I was curious about the bowls the establishment had and went with the chicken bowl option. Big picture, the bowl is,very deceptive in size. It could be assumed it would not be enough, but factoring you get steak fries, white rice, onions and the chicken [in my case], that goes along way. The chicken, was incredibly moist and tender. On the bottom in the bowl, there is broth from the chicken to keep everything from not being dry- which was a bonus. The fries was excellent - but of course it was not the star of the show. I will say the chicken and the onions were the star because it balanced everything out. If it were not for those two components, I think the rice would be a little bland. There were so many notes as I was tasting everything and I can feel the passion while discovering new aromas. All in all, a very simple bowl with so much zest and flavor - yet total perfection at the same time. *I like how the establishment has rewards points so I will be back periodically.

We’re not from around the area and weren’t sure if we wanted to try it. Glad we did. It was excellent. 3 of us had the quarter chicken with brussel sprouts and yucca fries. All 3 items were excellent!

After a long day being on the go as Wife, Mother, and Professional, Poyoteca was an stress-free way to end the day. Everyone’s pallet was satisfied with options for Peruvian rotisserie chicken, veggies and starches. I’m confused with the macaroni and cheese or mashed potatoes. There’s rice and beans, fries and yuca too! We like Brussels sprouts though the children prefer string beans. I’m doing my best to promote my health. The cilantro lime dressing was flavorful and helped me enjoy a full serving of salad. I appreciate that there are no codes on the bathrooms. They were tidy and fresh with a place to put my belongings while I handled my business. Seating is separate from ordering. There’s a TV should you choose to dine in (I took a load of and charged my phone). Finally, the employees were very personable and efficient which is the hallmark of any restaurant. Two thumbs up for Fallsgrove Poyoteca.

Absolutely delicious fresh chicken and sides. I had the 1/4 dark chicken and it was heavily seasoned. I had the mashed potatos which were amazing, lots of flavor and have a garlic after taste. The mac & cheese was pretty good as well with a garlic after taste. The fried rice pretty tasty and is some of the best I have ever had. I definitely recommend coming here. The service was acceptional and friendly. Transactions and food was speedy. It's a must try!
