Reviews of Pollito con Papas (Restaurant)

Heather Abeyta

Love these people!! And the food is consistent yummy and comforting!!

Joey Solo

The food here is always amazing. The friendly folks who work there are very helpful and accommodating. Along with the chicken and French fries, try the green rice, it's delicious.

Lindsey Maurer

The food and service are always stellar here. The chimichangas and yuca are must-try items.

Brendon L

Peruvian food is always good. But this is the best I've had. Be sure to try their lomo saltado if you can.

Michael Glass

Fantastic! Get the number four. The entire vibe is extremely authentic, and while you mightn't get terribly excited about grilled chicken, go out of your way for this. Also, the service is friendly and kitchen is clean. I really am impressed with this small business oh, so please give them your business. Whenever I travel through Albuquerque I think I'm going to make this a stop. Cilantro rice was also incredible!

Peter Mack Grubb

Good Peruvian chicken! A unique place in a city full of them.

AlcanceDivino

Good food (very little) but very expensive for a few bites food. Even in Miraflores is cheaper, However, I don’t mind the price but they need to serve enough. I ordered “ají de Gallina” I ‘m still hungry, good thing Panda Express is just a block. I don’t know if I’m going back.

michelle bianchi

The stuffed potatoes were AMAZING! The chicken had wonderful flavor. A bit pricey. And need more Aji Sauce.

Gary Grove

Great food!

Arabia Turner

First Peruvian food experience. I absolutely loved everything! I was able to try virtually everything and everything was awesome! And the service was the best. Just am excellent experience all around.

Fantastic food - Peruvian quisine - ask for the number eight - it's not on the menu - went there two days in a row for it !

Just A Photographer

Amazing chicken!

Excellent food. Lunch rush can be big, so occasionally wait times are long, but the food is worth it.

Doris Romero

This was the best chicken I have ever eaten.

Oscar Saenz

This place is very good ! Food is great taste an different, really recommend to eat there !

Steven Wright

The chicken is some of the best I've ever had! Also, everything else is really tasty. If you like heat, ask for the red sauce for your food

Chad Werenko

So good!! I have been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally made it in. So glad I did! Everything we ordered was excellent and I'm pretty confident you can't go wrong. If they ask if you want extra sauce, the answer is always YES!

Nikita Barnes

If you haven't tried the food here yet, you should! The chicken is ALWAYS so juicy - with or without the bone (tho with the bone is always better). The cilantro rice is amazing, with a little kick of spicy. Everything from here is amazing, I don't know how else to describe it other than "amazing"

Benjamin Sorensen

I got the #6, the stuffed potato was nicely fried and the chicken filling was great. The marinade on the chicken tenderloin was also good. We got a side of the yuca, which was also good.

Nanette Founds

Very good food. Very nice people operating the restaurant.

Baryalai Shalizi

A small, simple, inexpensive Peruvian restaurant. The food is filling and the service pleasant.

Severiano Sisneros

Great food, great staff, great owners! I always feel welcome, even during the lunch rush. Thursday specials are always great, I follow them on Twitter to see what special for the week is.

robert lopez

To expensive for the picnic looking small portion plate.

Chaz Rich

Great food and great service. Highly recommend anything with the chimichanga.

Matthew Johnson

Great food, owners and staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is great, feels like im back in Peru.

T R

If you are hungry, look no further. This is one of the most ridiculously delicious restaurants I have ever eaten at and for a fantastic price.

kenneth Diehl

This place is a little slice of heaven. I've been looking for some great food for some time now. The chicken was beyond amazing, the yucca fry's prepared nicely and the rice and sauces exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for Peruvian food this is the place to go. Friendly staff decent prices too.

Miss April B.P.A

I've never been here I work across the street from them. The food smells good the old couple that owns it looks like lovely people. I would try them when I have the funds to eat out.

Darrin Burns

Not a fancy place but clean. The food tastes authentic. Be sure to try the green rice.

Amanda Appel

Chicken inside potatoes and then fried + green sauce = Deliciousness!!! Service is definitely slow so give yourself some extra time because the food is worth it.

Don Gadomski

Nice place. Food and service were good. Only drawback is that it's not a quick place for lunch.

George Dewey

Reminds me of “a clean well lighted place” and it has a Lima feel to it. Love the food. It is has healthy selections that favor the diner who likes to keep fit.

R Hurley

OMG! So good, I had the chicken and cilantro rice. They're prices are really reasonable too.

Benjamin Wasserott

Good vegan and vegetarian options.

Kyle Tuffli

Menu is basic, but delicious. You get chicken and potatoes (or cilantro rice), but holy cow do they do those things well. The salsas that come with are a MUST-try all of them, you will not be disappointed.

Guinevere Kutella

Veggie stuffed potatoes get three thumbs up

Mengxi LIU

Very good food(including the flan) and serves fast!

Andrea Mcgregor

This was my first time ever eating peruvian style chicken and it was delicious! Highly recommended!

TK O'Geary

Grilled chicken done right. Cilantro rice so yummy. And Yucca fries. Add in a terrific sauce, wonderful servers, and efficient service and you have a great go to place.

Andrew Mattern

Great food, great service, good prices. Consistent quality.

Tim Scofield

Great food and service. I ate a very late lunch after 2 and there was no crowd. During normal hours it gets pretty busy.

Andrea Morales

I've had Peruvian chicken and it did not come close to what it really taste like. They could've done better. On the other hand aji sauce and white rice where delicious

Emily Fertitta

Excellent food! Friendly service. Can't wait to go back again!!! Brought snacks for our kids while we waited for our to go meals. Happy with the the three entrees we tried!!!

Jeannie F

Very good food. Attentive, friendly service. Usually busy from 11:00 to 1:00. Close to Kirtland Air force Base. Easy parking.

K D L

No frills but the food kicks ass. Very little selection but damn it’s good!

Ross Jimenez

Great food, give it a try.

James Creamer

Really great quality rotisserie Peruvian chicken and great home style French fries.

Logan Herrera

Some of the best chimis you'll ever have! They cook their chicken and everything else to perfection! Their rice, stuffed potatoes, and chicken chimis are my favorite! Highly recommend everybody to come here! You will not be disappointed!

Denise Smith

I enjoyed it. Great stuffed potatoes.

Angela Thompson

The food is delicious and staff very friendly.

Jon Loehr

Amazing hole in the wall Peruvian place. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it is an outstanding place to grab lunch.

William Nothwang

Chicken and potatoes. Both are good. Not much else, though.

Stacy Statham

First time ordering takeout last night. We drove buy noticed the Peruvian sign and had to try it since we love Peruvian food. We ordered grilled thigh, chicken stuffed potato, and cilantro rice. Ordered an extra side of grilled thigh. It was delicious.. The sauces were excellent. We will return to this small but excellent little Veteran owned restaurant. The owner is an Air Force Veteran.

Lost Sheep

Got the #3 and OMG! Order extra aji sauce before hand because you will want more. Spectacular flavor and fast service. Great place!

Kay W

This is a great place to have lunch! The have a very limited and simple menu that they perfected so well! The chicken is always juicy and delicious and the potatoes are the best! They really know their food! The staff are very helpful and kind, finding you any you need and answering any questions you have. Just be forewarned that this place can get VERY busy during lunch because everyone in town knows how good it is. I would highly recommend stopping by here and supporting this local business, they are great!

Catherine Ives

This place is amazing! We had such a great time yesterday. The owner took our order and told us the history of the place. So friendly and welcoming. You could tell he really took pride in his restaurant. And the food was fantastic. The #6 apparently was the thing to try, with the stuffed potato and chicken thigh. We also had the yucca fries. I already want to go back. Great local business!

Marilee Flugel

Great food at a reasonable price! 4 of us filled ourselves with appetizers and meals for $60!!

Natalia Tenorio

So delicious!

Amy Nicole

Great food but lacking service at lunch. Our waiter acted like he was annoyed we were there but we needed time to order since it was our first time there. Probably won't be back after our make server's attitude problem

Arlen Biersgreen

Great chicken, the ají salsa is tasty and just the right level of spicy, and a nice variety of daily specials that aren't just something recycled of the regular menu.

Scott

Excellent meal! Chicha Morada and Pollo Saltado con Arroz Pyramid. Went back for the grilled chicken and fries. They also have Inca Kola!

Daniel Fruchey

Tastes so good you'll want to fly to Peru

Ronda Peter

We traveled here from Michigan and our brother who lives here shared it with us. It is a must. Everything is made fresh and was delicious. The stuffed potatoe, the yucca, chicken and ice cream were amazing.

Lucille Forster

Delicious food, good service. My husband and I enjoy moist grilled chicken, stuffed potatoes, cilantro rice and fried yuca appetizer.

Jose Gutierrez

Love eating here food is amazing

Eric Kowalski

Very easy to miss, but this is some great chicken. I've been here a few times and service is fantastic. The menu is fairly simple but that's a big draw. The markdown is for consistency - occasionally the yucca comes out cold, or the chicken will be less tender than normal - but for the most part you know what you're getting. The shop closes early, so definitely come for lunch.

Alan Andrews

Amazing food, friendly staff! You have to give this place a try, and the best flan in Albuquerque hands down!

Sean Scott

The number 4 with cilantro rice is awesome. Great food.

Contessa Lowery

This place has a seriously simple menu that works. This chicken with it's cooking style and combo of spices will catch you by surprise. The sauce they serve with it is indescribable....it's a flavor bomb in your mouth.

Sean Martin

Food is very good

Greg Huston

Decent food.

Alexi Castillo

It was more than I expected, you can't go wrong with #2.

Wynn Godbold

Great food and friendly service. Get the special.

Chris Luchini

Pretty good chicken cooked in an interesting way. I believe this is Peruvian. I will go here again. Portions are large for the amount of money you spend.

Gary Stone

Oh man this place has great Peruvian food! Wow

Anthony Khan

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Brian Merritt

Great service! They went above and beyond to make you feel welcome when you walk in. Not to mention the food is delicious. Yuca fries? Totally worth it, the texture is amazing!

samuel durbin

First time and I'll go back if i'm back in town!

Althea Atherton

You’ve never eaten a potato until you’ve had them here.

maria gonzales

I love pollito con papas! Love the chicken and the green sauce with pickled onions. Very different but good.

Ranell Cavitt

Very tasty food for pretty cheap. Loved the Fried Yucca. Service was okay. Would definitely go again.

Robert Riley

I don’t know what Peruvian chicken is supposed to taste like, but I can say the chicken served at this restaurant is amazing. Good enough it is worth the effort to get every last piece of meat of the bone. The yuca fries with the aji sauce is the bomb. Don’t let the outside appearance of the establishment detour you. It definitely has a home style vibe, and when you leave you’ll feel like you ate a home cooked meal, clearly prepared by hard working people who pour passion into their product.

Dane Stocks

The owners of the restaurant are incredibly kind, and the food is amazing. We ate here for the first time in November 2017, and upon learning it was our first time, the waiter brought us a complimentary order of yucca fries (complete with the delicious salsas). Our entrees were likewise great, I wish we were in town more often!

Dane

The food is really good.

Brian & Angela Orndorff

Great food and flavors.

Ariel Echevarria

Wow is all I could say while I ate lunch here. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. Yuca fries were awesome. I stopped eating the regular fries and had the yuca fries instead.

M S

Great food. Everyone here is very friendly. It works well for yourself or a group of ten. I am a fan of the fried yucca and the chicken is awesome. If you want a large meal that is amazing, try the beef or chicken stir fry.

Brandon Conder

Rich and flavorful chicken. The papas are great, just be sure to ask for extra sauce.

Raymond Montez

The first Peruvian spot Ive have eaten at. It is delicious. The chicken is so tender and perfectly seasoned. I also tried the chicken stuffed potatoes along with the cilantro rice; and both just so good. Definitely a new go to spot.

David Scott

Outstanding food and service. The stuffed potatoes are delicious--they have one with chicken and a vegetarian version. The place is always busy at lunch but they still manage to get the orders out quickly. The chicken has a delicious smoky flavor that is quite unique. Once you have tried this place you will want to come back for more.

Mitch Martin

The wait staff are very friendly, and the food is delicious! The turn around time from when you order your food to having it in front of you is very quick, even during their busiest hours. Highly recommend!

Michael Bouchey

Nice family restaurant with a simple menu. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The waitress gave my partner and I free yucca fries because it was our first time. The food was also really good, especially the sauces. The guava empanadas, however, were the stars of the show. I literally cried when I ate this it was so good!

frankerloo

Quick and Awesome! We'll be back.

Minni

Great food, awesome service A+

Cheryl Lofstead

Love this place! Delicious and cheap, feels homey, great service, fast and pleasant. Diner type lunch spot.

Molly Kaspar

They have a limited menu but what they have on it they do right! Yucca fries are to die for and the Chicken is always delicious.

Charlie Bellows

The food is good, service is fast, great for lunch.

A. Rohde

As always amazing chicken, chimichangas, chicken potatoes, and fried yuca (not yucca). Came in, ate, visited with friends, and paid in 40 minutes... And visiting was at least 50% of that. I plan to try their vegetarian option next time I go so I can say I've tried and hopefully enjoyed everything on the menu. The other dishes lead me to believe it will be just as good.

Mark

It was delicious! Get the #6 and the Aji sauce, with a side of cilantro rice.

Kyle McWilliams

The food is AMAZING. All of it.

Kevin Carr

I love this chicken .

Jacob Carpenter

Great place for a quick lunch. Decent prices. Order some yucca fries for the table. It's close to base too, so it's extra great

Blake Holman

Really enjoyed the food!

Mark Johnstone

Great food. Reasonable prices. Try also the location on Central.

Carol M. Giar

Food is always delicious!

V Gonzales

First time I've had Peruvian food and Pollito it did not disappoint. Get their signature dish with green sauce. The best appetizer is their yuca fries with green sauce. Don't forget to at least try those. I would dine in, as opposed to take-out, to get the freshest flavor.

Manny Nunez

This place is amazing!! I got the #6 and it was delicious!

Joshua DeFrank

Highly recommend this place. Outstanding food at a good price with good service.

Estevan Trujillo

I take everyone I can to this place. Great food, great staff. You have to try the chicha (spiced, sweet cold drink) and fried yucca.

Amber DeVan

This place is always amazing! They get busy and there's a reason for it. The people here are very nice and always smiling. The food is delicious and absolutely worth the visit!

Paula Nazario

Pollito con Papas is a Peruan Restaurant. Their food is delicious. Is a very clean place and so confortable. Good music. Come and visit Pollito con Papas. Opens 11:00 am til 7:00 pm. Monday til Saturday.

Mike Kitchen

Love this place. Simple menu, but it's all perfect. And the owners are great people. Theres a new location in Nob Hill that will be serving beer and wine soon. Check them out, they're great.

June Miller

We ordered and waited 45 mins and they forgot about us xD

Arthur Buege

So good. One of the best places in Albuquerque with actual flavor. Reminded me of home back in Miami.

Heather C

Love love

Danielle Fairman

Best place ever. The women who runs the place is such a sweetheart. If you have kids, don't worry its a kid friendly place. The food is amazing and for a great price!

Tristan Price

Really excellent food, friendly service. Somewhat limited hours but they have a second location for other times it seems. The sauces are to die for

Donald Gallegos

This is one of the best meals you can get anywhere, simple and fantastic, I should have gone there when it first opened

Dalton Cole

Not to many vegetarian options, but if you like potato like roots, then you're set. The green sauce their is delicious!

Brennan Taylor

Always a great place to grab lunch near base! Friendly staff and great food!

Charles Brooks

Excellent place to try out. They literally fry a whole potato stuffed with chicken, rice, and beans!

michele cox

Holy smokes! This place is delicious. My fav’s were the yuca fries (and the sauces the came with), the chicken papas and the Lomo soltado. The service was excellent and the ambiance super chill. All around, a superb place to drop in for lunch or dinner!

Maria Li

First time to try their dishes And I really enjoyed it. The lady who served our food really knows the dishes.

Jonathan Acosta

Foods good people are nice what more could you want :)

Gerrit Kruidhof

Amazingly delicious Peruvian chicken, good chicken-stuffed potatoes, good chicken chimichanga, decent french fries, tasty sauces, and a yummy Peruvian Chicha purple corn & pineapple drink. Family run establishment with ample seating but closes early. Vegetarian options.

L. M.

Unique food

Milagro Hernandez

They were very accommodating and the service was great as was the food. We got to try some new dishes and were very pleased with the overall experience. Most definitely will be coming back.

Chris Hennen

Really great food and good prices. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. I especially enjoy that they have vegetarian options that are just as good as the other really great options on their menu. Their stuffed potatoes are worth a visit!

Derek Jones

Unexpected pleasure! The food menu was simple and delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant...you won't be disappointed!!

Alan Taylor

Excellent food, friendly staff, good prices. Pretty busy and limited hours, but worth it.

Michael Cox

Tasty Peruvian food.

Jason Ferris

Small menu, but delicious. Fried yuca (cassava) is delicious.

kellie Osborn

This place is amazing! There isn't one thing on the menu that isn't absolutely delicious. We are so happy they are opening a second location!

Dave Wiesner

Great Peruvian Dishes that are always tasty, and nice selection of menu items

Devd Roberts

I wonder how many times I can say Chicken Stuffed Potato in a single review. So think of mashed potato... in a ball... hollowed out... filled with yummy chicken... baked to a golden brown. so yeah. clean. good service. good food. Friendly family owned....

J.D. Tippit

Very tasty and light lunch spot.

Jonathan Low

Great simple menu! Food is excellent! Service is slow, so don't be in a hurry. That is why I'm not giving 5 stars. I try to do lunch there on my lunch break and if I'm not late getting back, I'm always to close for comfort. Try the #6 and you won't be disappointed. Make sure to get extra Aji! It makes the food that is already good POP with flavor!

Richard Glitz

The name of the restaurant is actually the entire menu.

Emily Donahue

A favorite place among locals. The stuffed potatoes are their specialty, but the chimichangas are my personal favorite. The fried yucca is an excellent starter. You can buy containers of their green ahi sauce, which I've put on chicken and salads at home. Service can be slow.

David Pratt

Great food. Friendly service. The #6 is delicious.

Josh Roper

The chicken

Brandy Martinez

The menu is simple, the chicken has an amazing flavor and you gotta try the potato ball. Wonderful! The owner is very friendly and can tell you all about Peruvian cuisine. It's always a treat to stop in and dine.

Don Lyons

Oh man. This place is delicious. My favorite is the chicken chimichanga, but everything I've had there has been good. Their aji sauce is amazing, I recommend asking for extra!!

Katie Fitter

The food is fantastic. There is nothing bad on the menu. Excellent flavors. The service is great and the people are welcoming and gracious.

Samuel Chadwick

Best Peruvian restaurant ever!

monique fields

We were so glad we stopped in! My husband and I tried the 'Chicha' drink and our server recommended 'Aji de Gallina'. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. One of the best places I've visited in Albuquerque.
