Pollo Depot - Halethorpe

This humble shop has blown me away with the juiciness and flavor of its chicken. When you see how dark their chickens are you automatically assume they are dry from the cooking.. NAY SAY I. These birds apparently are each brined and marinated for over a day. I literally had to call the store after my first takeout meal there to ask how it was so good.

Their chicken and red potatoes are absolutely phenomenal!! The staff is friendly, the food is great, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. They also have a brand new liquor store called 365 liquor which also have a great selection of beer, wine, and liquor. I?d highly recommend these guys for all your drinks and food. Plus they?re open on Sunday!

So I was excited about Pollo Depot opening because the places around here are usually chain restaurant garbage. And my friends, this is worth the hype. Their chicken is so juicy, always hot. Their yucca is crunchy, salad is fresh. This is my second time here and the quesadilla is so good. And the portion sizes? If you read a review that says they give small portions, they?re either lying or impossible to satisfy. The portions are enormous. Well worth the money but honestly

Stopped by Pollo Depot for a quick meal, and wow! The chicken was extremely moist, down to the bone. I got the half white with 2 sides and was not disappointed. Portions were very generous and authentically seasoned. I?ve been to a number of Peruvian-styled chicken place and these guys just do it better. I will be back!

While the food is excellent, the welcoming atmosphere is even better. I appreciate going to a place that sincerely is glad that I stopped by. Update..went by on Feb. 10 and saw a closed sign. I hope it is only temporary as this is a great place with nice people.
