The modest exterior and straightforward setup invite you to focus on what truly matters: the food and the people behind it.

The atmosphere is quietly warm, marked more by the hum of friendly staff taking orders and the aroma of charbroiled chicken than by any décor or ambiance.

Whether you’re coming in for a quick lunch or picking up dinner for the family, there’s a relaxed reliability here that makes Pollo Brasero feel like a dependable local secret.

The experience centers around the unmistakable taste of their Peruvian-style roasted chicken, charred just enough to lock in juices and flavor, accompanied by hearty sides that feel like an invitation to gather.

These small touches turn a simple meal into something thoughtful, rooted in tradition but welcoming anyone at the table.

What really lingers beyond the food is the genuine kindness woven into the service. Here, warmth isn’t loud or showy—it’s in the easy, familiar way the staff moves about, always ready to help you leave full and satisfied. For those who pop in after a long day or on a night when cooking isn’t an option, Pollo Brasero offers more than a meal; it offers a brief pause, a comforting constant amid the everyday.

Local spot for chicken meal for family. They are fast service, especially on night's you don't plan on cooking. Pickup or delivery available. We enjoy the half chicken meal with rice & yucca. Fills up well & they add two different sauces to the bag. Plantains as the dessert!

Amazing service and amazing people! I enjoy the food but I especially always come to this location because the people are so kind.

It's a lunch/ carry out spot and not meant to have "atmosphere". That said, it's locally owned and operated by Great people with fantastic food. Pollo Brassero is the style of food but also the name. Peruvian chicken. Not as juicy as Rico. But great location and reasonably priced. They have beer too.

The overall rating of a five is 100% about the food. Best chicken around and the soup is f-in amazing. The woman who rings you up is never happy, all business and can't wait to charge you $0.05 for a bag.

Excellent, been going there for years. Chicken, fries cold slaw black beans. Salad verde and the yellow sauce really sets it off. Every time we come to DC get it at least once a week. The lady always remembers me. I have been visiting for 20+ years now. Would not go anywhere else. Uk citizen. Hi to all the staff. English Mike.
