EL PICO DE ORO Peruvian Chicken/ Pollo a la Brasa — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Have visited a couple of times and the chicken has always tasted great. This time I ordered a quarter chicken with Arroz chaufa and yuca fries. The rice was good although I tasted a bit much of ginger. The yuca fries were fried to their perfect doneness; crispy golden crust on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken was full of flavor not only on the skin but throughout the chicken. Everything tasted fresh. The accompanying yellow and green sauces complemented the food; the green sauce had enough kick to enhance the flavors of the chicken while the yellow velvety sauce elevated the taste of the yuca fries. The servings are plentiful.

The place is kept very clean. They only have 6 tables as their main focus appears to be to go orders; the place is big enough to double the amount of tables and more. The lighting is florescent ceiling grid and the decorations are very limited; mostly white walls. If dining in don't expect full service. You order at the counter and they'll bring out your food and drink and leave you to enjoy your food. Everything is served on disposable wares. The menu is extremely limited as they only have rotisserie chicken and multiple sides. Sometimes they have a promotional dish but that's about it. They have great prices; they should charge more to ensure their business succeeds. This is a great alternative to fast food: it's flavorful and healthier. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite or to go as they provide good and...

Original review (after 2 visits for lunch): A hole in the wall in all the right ways. Prices are great. Portions are great. Flavor is phenomenal. I hope they don't change a thing!

Update: Took the wife and kids in for dinner tonight. Ordered the family meal and it did not disappoint. Owner's, again, we're super nice. Apologized for the lack of ice but brought out cups and our 2 liter (comes with the family meal) had obviously been in the fridge. Even though the family meal is "a whole chicken" (plus sides and a 2L), they had no problem quartering it for us. I will definitely be going back!

PS: Please remember that this is a small business and they close at 7:00 PM. They did not rush us out at all even though it was just after 7:00 as we we're wrapping up, but I'm sorry we kept them from cleaning up and...

The Chicken was absolutely delicious. Flavorful and Seasoned very well. Not that bland stuff like Boston Market. I would compare it to Jerk Chicken without the hot factor. It is exploding with Flavor. I actually said Mmmmmm when I tasted it. I got the lunch special today, fell in love, went back and got dinner for my family tonight. I also ordered enough food for all of my employees! The Plaintains were THE BEST that I have ever had. Not mushy, not over cooked. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are worth it. I am very critical of food. This place is on point and the Customer Service was great. When I went earlier the guy behind the register explained everything on the Menu and gave me all of the ingredients in each dish. They all were very friendly. My new favorite spot. You will not be...
