This is some crack chicken! irresistible….
As a person who hates chicken (unless its fried chicken from Popeyes or Churches Chicken), this place makes me want to change my mind.
The menu is simple and easy:
Full, half, then your small portions of chicken. For $1 more you can get all dark meat or $1.50, white meat for the whole or half chicken. Of course there's the list of side. I had the yellow rice, which was a huge portion (a small halal size) and sweet plantains that are made perfectly delicious.
I shared a full chicken for two ($14 as of 4/11/2015). The portion is pretty decent and both of us could not finish. The skin in my opinion is he best part and the chicken is nice and moist/juicy. They give you 2 sets of green sauces. I believe one has olive oil+ cilantro + garlic +parsley and the other, I have no Idea, but I suggest mixing them together and when you dip the chicken in it, you would love it!
Definitely an easy grab and go place or you can easily eat it there, but everything is pre-made to go so you don't have to wait long.
Senior pollo is DA JOINT for some rotisserie chicken Peruvian style. The chicken is solid and isn't overloaded with sodium which is a huge plus! Their yellow/orange rice is a little buttered up (taste) but it's soooo good! I always get the fried plantains for my side (tostones), which never fail to be amazing. Depending on the size of the chicken you get the cost ranges, plus tax, $8.50-11! It's a steal mang! The service is pretty fast and there are plenty of seat in this joint!
The game changer of all game changers is their GREEN SAUCE from heaven. I don't know what it is but it's off the hook. It's not a salsa sauce, but don't matter when it tastes that good. I come here occasionally with my buddy and between the two of us we nearly kill the sauce at the table every time… sorry not sorry! I put it over the rice and mix it in with stripped off pieces of chicken to make sort of a Latino fried rice yafeel? So bomb! Hit this place up!
If you have been to a Peruvian or Pollo Rico franchise, it's the same menu format just a different name.

As a young college professional working in the city, it's often trivial to find affordable food to satisfy your palate and not destroy your stomach. Señor Pollo gives you quality food for reasonable prices. They season and marinade their chicken and you can taste it in "de bone." Their portion fills you up, and gives you a nice itis when you return to work (smiles). Aside from my last delivery experience when my plate of food appeared as if the gorilla from the zoo was holding my plate and shook it (photo evidence) , I forgive them. Furthermore, the waitress is fictionally hot. She is Telenova beautiful for no reason.
I use to visit the "shack" of a peruvian chicken joint at Coney Island, and was heartbroken when they shut.
Senor Pollo cured my craving! I ordered an Inka Cola, half chicken with yuca, rice and beans. It was just fantastic and hit the spot. What is it about that green sauce that is so magical? Yum.
It was all of $28 for the both of us. I am most certainly going to come by again!
Great quick feed. For roughly $9 you can get a ton of food. The Chicken is cooked with some great spices and I have to say the highlight is certainly the sauces. The chimichurri and the garlic sauce are both fire. I got the 1/4 chicken combo with beans and plantains. The plantains wee def overlooked and I could tell they were sitting out for a while. You get the choice of a breast or a wing. With the sides, unless you are starving, you could do a wing no problem. Will be back!
If you live around the area, this is the main go to spot. The prices are cheap for the area and the food is always great. Sometimes, I get the 1/4 dark meat with two sides (beans, spinach mashed potato or manduros). Their papa rellena is also really good. It's a fried mashed potato with meat inside. ALWAYS get extra hot sauce and chimichurri.
I'm giving it 4 stars only because they mess up the order a lot and will forget to give you the extra sauce. Always check after!!
This place brings out the savage in me. I always get it to go and what I do is remove all the meat from the bone first, dump both sauces on it and mix it. I also dump the sauces on the papa rellena after cutting it open in the middle and do the same thing and just put the hot sauce into the spinach mashed potato. I then dip my chicken into those mashed potatoes. It's heaven.
My boyfriend's guilty pleasure is their lo mein which I find kind of hilarious. Anyway, I also find it kind of odd how I wouldn't venture here from far away. But if you're the type that's not really an adventurous eater and is on a tight budget, this is it.
This is a place for very good Queens-type food in Manhattan. The chicken was large, flavorful and juicy. Green sauce is often highlight of these meals, and Senor Pollo gives you a double dose – there's the creamier seemingly mustard-laden sauce and a more vegetable-focused item with some parsley. Both go well with each other, the chicken, the beans and the fried yucca.
Next time I need to check out that soup in Amrisa N.'s picture.
The chimichurri sauce and green garlic/spicy/heaven-in-a-bottle sauce that I embarrassingly could not identify are more than half the reason to come here. The rotisserie chicken is pretty good (not mind blowing or anything), but the chimichurri takes it to another level. The green sauce is great with the chicken, but I prefer it with my yucca fries. Too good.
If you're at least part hispanic–regardless of the country–and need your fix of good beans, yucca, and rotisserie chicken at an inexpensive price in the East Village area, this is the spot. My craving was definitely cured. The only reason why this didn't get 5-stars was the chicken was a little on the dry side, but it was tender the 1st time I ate here, so I might change the rating in the future if I see solid consistency.
