Pollos Rocoto Chifa Polleria- Tampa Florida - Rotisserie Chicken

This Peruvian restaurant has the best atmosphere. Great location and good atmosphere accompanied by music and polite service. The good is out of this world. I'm eager to try more Peruvian cuisine 😋

Love the expansion very needed room for more comfort. We've been here before but this is the first time I'm leaving a review because now I can speak for the food, service and atmosphere. We went on a Monday for lunch and we got all the dishes pictured below. It's a great deal when you get the lunch menu for $10 you get an appetizer (we got soup) and the entree. These can definitely satisfy you if you can eat all that, we took some home. We also got the fried rice with chicken and pork and it was probably the best of all we got. Generous portions and you can also get desserts, my favorite was the combinado, the cake slice could've used a better sponge I don't know if it's a different style but not impressed with it. Usually torta helada also have some fruits on it but this one didn't. Finally service was 9/10 they are friendly but got busy and I had to ask for the check twice and actually stand up and pay which is not a problem but it was a slow check out. That said we will be back, now with more tables is easier to eat in there and enjoy the yummy food.

Food was delicious, along with chicha morada and of course the yellow and green sauces

I’ve eaten here three times, and each visit has been a winner. Their ceviche is hands down the best in the Tampa Bay area—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. If you love Peruvian food, this place is a must-try. The service is always friendly and on point, making for a top-notch dining experience every time. Honestly, I hope they never close, because I’ll keep coming back for that incredible ceviche!

El servicio es horrible. Fui a comer postre y la mesera solo dejo el postre en la mesa sin preguntar si me gustaria alguna otra cosa mas. Lo peor fue cuando sali afuera con mis amistades y la senora de la caja salio a decirme que el servicio no esta incluido y necesitaba cambiar el total. En otras palabras, me obligaron a dejar propina apesar del pesimo servicio. The service is horrible here. I stopped there to get dessert with some friends and the server only dropped off the dessert at our table without ever checking on us or even asking if we wanted to order anything else. I checked out and once I was outside the lady at the register came out to tell me that I needed to adjust my tip because it wasnt included. I felt like the service went from bad to worst as I was forced to edit the tip even when like I said no one really offered service other than dropping off the dessert at our table without even checking on us or asking if we wanted to order anything else.

We arrived 15 minutes before 7pm. There were only three tables with customers, two of which were almost done eating. We were close to 10 minutes sat at the table and nobody came to offer beverage or even say “we’ll be right with you”. The young man at the register passed by us twice and didn’t even look at us. We decided to get up and leave and he had the nerves to say “Thank you”. I guess he thanked us for leaving and not make him have to work. Will not return. Went next door to the Colombian restaurant and immediately were attended to and served.

Today we went to eat at Pollos Rocoto and every was great. The service was outstanding the wait staff was very attentive and the food was delicious everything came out quickly and was very large portions. I tried the lomo saltado and it was delicious it was cooked to perfection. My friend had the lunch special the soup was aguadito it was full of flavor and the pollo al sillao had a great oriental flavor that took us back to Peru. I definitely recommend everyone to try it and I will be going back more often

Food was actually okay. Service was slow and uncourteous. I was surprised to find out they charge you a mandatory 18% service charge. My party were three people and the bill before the ABUSIVE AUTO TIP was $57. Pretty upset about being charged 18% without consent. Will not come back and if you read this you should not support this business either!

Best Pollo Asado I've ever had!! I bought some food to go and it was super tasty and delicious, the Pollo asado came with French fries and a fresh salad. The place is small but has a good vibe. Service was good, just keep in mind that there's usually a long waiting time (specially on weekends) but definitely worth it.

This must be THE place, we were trying to find the best roasted chicken in Tampa and I think we found it, we started with the ceviche carretillero mixto, it was delicious, very well balanced and seasoned, Peruvian Ceviche is one of my favorite things on earth, and this one was outstanding. My boyfriend got one of the soup and it was also sooo good, I tried a little bit and it was great! When we walked in they told us that we had to wait for the chicken at least half an hour, we decided to wait, and honestly it was sooo worth the wait, chicken was incredibly tasty and delicious! We also had to ordered one to go too.. Service is great overall, both servers on duty were so kind and on top of the table, I am definitely coming back for sure, next time I have to try their Lomo Salteado. Restaurant seems very clean, a little small but that actually made the place cozier. Best roasted chicken in Tampa.

This is some of the best Peruvian Chifa I've ever had. My husband and I LOVE Peruvian food and try new places as often as we can. This was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Tri Color Huancaina. It came with three different huancaina sauces. Absolutely delicious. Then we shared the Chaifa de pollo. Again, delicious and authentic. This is our new place to come when we are craving Peruvian. The service is amazing and it's a family owned place. Father son restaurants right next to each other! Great job !

Hands down the best chaufa in the Tampa Bay Area. The ceviche and causas are also spectacular. Small and cozy restaurante that takes you on a delectable trip to the heart of Peru. Excellent service too!

I rarely write reviews but some places truly deserve credit for their work, and I believe this is one of them. If you enjoy Peruvian food, this restaurant is a great find... High-quality ingredients. Meals are freshly prepared. Generous portions. Good presentation. Family run with personable service. Simple yet clean restaurant. Fair prices. The only problems we've found so far are that we wish we had discovered it sooner and sometimes it takes a little work to communicate (as our Spanish is about as good as some of the staff's English). Pollos Rocoto is well known for its pollo a la brasa (Peruvian rotisserie chicken), and there are so many other things that look delicious when we look around at other tables. We want to try more, but we're hooked on the ceviche and jalea (Peruvian fried fish plate) and have a hard time giving up on them to try anything else. :) If you don't normally eat Peruvian, it might be time to try. Check out their hours of operation before coming and don't be in too much of a rush. It's a small restaurant with a small kitchen -- if they are busy it might take a little while.

I don't know who was but my order got cancel at same time we went to pick up charge went true and everything. At the moment of pick up they can't find my order and I receive a email saying that my order got cancel.

This is our second visit, the first we tried the traditional "Pollo la brasa"....because this is a good base for my wife and I as to the quality of the restaurant. It was amazing the flavors were on point and the salsas were authentically delicious. This time we ordered a "mostrito" a mix of "pollo la brasa and chaufa with salad and fries." To start the restaurant is well decorated and well laid out. It is very clean and more inviting than several other establishments we have visited. We obviously will be returning again, as well as trying out their sister full dining location Sr. Rocoto. The food yet again was delicious, the chaufa was a basic fried rice (but authentic, not Chinese buffet version) the fries and pollo were yet again perfect!

Food was amazing!!! Yuca frita and sweet potato fries were so good. Service was also amazing.

The food and service in this restaurant are truly amazing. We had one of the best ceviches ever! Try the 'ceviche carretillero' to have an authentic dish from Lima. The service team was very caring and friendly. Highly recommended!

Best "Pollo a la brasa" that you can find in Tampa, the stuff are really nice and the prices are affordable .

This place is nasty! I would not recommend. I would post 0 stars if I could. Cashier was rather rude at that. I would find better food for money.

Pollos Rocoto sells the best rotisserie chicken I have tried. I highly recommend this place. Price is right for family dinner. I love their yellow sauce, my favorite!
