Spit-roasted Peruvian chicken plus sides like coleslaw served in a casual, counter-service space.
"Diehards may debate which of the D.C. area’s Peruvian chicken restaurant reigns supreme, but it's hard to deny that this standby has the most loyal following. Tennis great Serena Williams famously swung by for a poultry fix last summer. Look for the plume of charcoal smoke overhead in Arlington or Wheaton, Maryland. Open daily for carryout from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"The choice to go to Arlington is ambitious, considering the area’s longtime Peruvian chicken standard-bearer El Pollo Rico is a 10-minute walk away." - Tierney Plumb
"This beloved longtime Arlington eatery is one of the area’s most well-known destinations for Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken and sides. Expect spice-crusted birds, crunchy fried yuca, and fiery green chile dipping sauce. Order online here." - Eater Staff, Missy Frederick
"There are many Peruvian-style chicken restaurants scattered throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, and critically acclaimed El Pollo Rico is the granddaddy of them all. Just look for the giant plume of smoke and follow the scent of spice-rubbed rotisserie chicken that hangs in the air. Be sure to load up on the aioli, hot sauce, and fried yuca, too." - Tim Ebner
