great peruvian chicken. this restaurant makes great peruvian chicken. this meal brought back great childhood memories of my mother's pollo a la brasa. pollito conpapasmakes the best chicken i have had in albuquerque. great place to get take out from. will plan to visit often, and take my mom there when she comes and visits from dallas.

delight. had lunch with friends today at pollitos conpapasand it was very good! it was my first time there but definitely not the last. service was fast, friendly, and fresh....highly recommend.

i love this place! i've been three times so far and the quality and service are as good as it gets. today my wife and i split the chicken thigh,papasand chimichanga and all was delicious as always. the owners are extremely friendly and even personally come to the table to make sure you're doing well.

get ready peru ~ here we come!. in anticipation of a peruvian adventure we will be taking this fall we thought we would see what we were in for in advance of our trip, by way of food. what a pleasant surprise. the chicken was deliciously flavored and not over cooked. the stuffedpapaswas nice and crisp on the outside but flavorful on the inside. we look forward to going back! kelly & roy

pollito conpapasexcellent food and gf friendly. four of us ate at pollito conpapasjuly 15th. they were out of the whole roasted chickens. we ate # 1 which is chicken thighs withpapas(fries). their mash potato balls stuffed with chicken were truly amazing. pollito conpapasreally knows how to fry food. nothing is greasy. i usually get indigestion from fried food and i felt fantastic after eating theirpapasand the stuffed mashed potato ball stuffed with chicken. the mashed potato ball is sprinkled with yuca flour. this is a great restaurant for gluten free eating since they have fried yuca and the potato ball has no wheat flour.
give this simple decor restaurant with great food a try.

great food for a great price!. i stopped into pollito conpapastoday for lunch after driving by numerous times and wondering how the food was. i am definitely glad that i finally stopped in! the chicken was great, the owner was amazingly friendly, and the experience was the highlight of my week. i ordered the #5, chicken stuffed potatoes. the meal was inexpensive and delicious and the highlight was definitely the aji sauce--a must try! i highly recommend this place, i will be back!

great chicken. pollito conpapasrecently acquired a peruvian rotisserie oven. their chicken was good before, but now its amazing. the chicken is perfectly roasted on the outside and deliciously juicy on the inside--just like they do it in peru! the flavors are authentic, with some personal touches.

the real deal!. i am a peruvian and love this restarurant. when i heard that a peruvian polleria had recently opened, i was skeptical. albuquerque is not known for having a large peruvian population. i decided to try it out anyway. not only is it real peruvian style pollo a la brasa, it was amazing. their pollo is perfectly seasoned, and is accompanied by peruvian style fries which you will not find anywhere else in nm. their aji (hotsauce) tastes amazing. it tastes just as good or better than what i have had in most restaurants in peru. the owner also makes really good arroz con leche and delicious alfajores.

for those of you who are foodies and know or have heard about peruvian food-- you have to eat here. you will not be disappointed and you will be coming back. i just hope that eventually they start adding more peruvian dishes to their menu.

pollito conpapasis a must try! was recommended by my husbands coworkers, and i must say i was very impressed. warm atmosphere, kind ppl, and the most delicious chicken i've ever eaten. i can't say enough good things about this cozy little restaurant. it's my new favorite and i will keep going at least once a week for as long as its open. try it yourself your taste buds and your wallet will thank you.

new address. pollito conpapasis now at 6105 gibson. the new location is quite a bit bigger than the previous one. the chicken is still delicious and the alfajores literally melt in your mouth. i can't wait to go back!

best chicken in town!. the best pollo a la brasa i have tasted in years!

pollito conpapasis quite inexpensive - two whole chickens, fries, and that awesome sauce will only set you back 20 bucks. that said, remember to bring cash, because they don't take credit. and don't go on wednesday. but do go. even if the a/c is on the fritz, the charming owners and delicious food will make you glad you stopped by.

great food. i have been to pollito conpapasfive times and i live in rio rancho. it is well worth the drive to me as the food is always fresh and delicious. the owner is a good guy who always makes me feel welcome. last time i was there his wife was making papa rellenos. these were amazing and i hope they are on the menu now. pollito conpapashas some truely unique flavors which i now crave.

best chicken ever. this place is a hole-in-the-wall that used to be a house, and then became a seemingly unending chain of shops and restaraunts. pollito conpapasfinally seems to have broke the chain and has been around for almost 6 months.
why - because it has increble chicken. they have a special marinade and a peruvian green sauce that are just awesome. probably the best chicken i've ever had. they really only serve two things: pollito (either half or whole chickens, or boneless, skinless thighs) withpapas(really good french fries). they also have excellent chimichangas - although they are a peruvian version, so not quite like the chimichangas at other places in town. these are dense with chicken, perfectly crispy.

the restaraunt is anything but fancy, but it is incredibly warm, you'll meet and talk to the owners, and you'll feel like your eating a home-cooked meal straight from peru.

oh, and they are incredibly cheap.

since we discovered them, we eat here at least twice a week.

the entire pollito conpapasmenu is comprised of whole chickens; boneless, skinless marinated chicken thighs; fresh, hand-cut wedge fries with ketchup, and chicken engorged chimichangas all served with that wondrous green sauce. by design, the restaurant does not serve tortillas, pico de gallo, or other popular extras. rene’s objective is “to keep it super simple but incredibly delicious.” “we just give our customers a taste and explain how our chicken is prepared and how we are able to provide two whole chickens, fries, and creamy sauce for twenty dollars due to the fact that we have minimal waste. where else can you feed four people good quality food for less than five dollars a person-our price includes tax.” where else indeed?
