About
Armando's Pollo Rico, nestled in the heart of Jamaica, NY, is a gem for anyone craving authentic Peruvian flavors paired with exceptional service. From the moment you step inside, the clean, sunlit space sets the tone for a memorable dining experience that reflects care in every detail.
The true star here is undoubtedly the rotisserie chicken—fresh, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to satisfy without overwhelming. Many patrons, including myself, find the green sauce to be a revelation: creamy, with just the right kick of spice, it elevates every bite. This sauce alone is a testament to the kitchen’s skill in balancing bold flavors with subtlety.
Beyond the chicken and sauce, the menu boasts a variety of choices that showcase the depth of Peruvian cuisine. The yellow rice and side beans complement dishes harmoniously, while lunch specials provide generous portions at very fair prices. While some have noted variations in seasoning, the consistency of quality food and attentive service by staff like Mónica and Enrique stand out as true highlights.
Overall, Armando's Pollo Rico is not just a place to eat; it’s an invitation to savor real Peruvian taste crafted with passion. For seasoned locals and newcomers alike, this spot delivers rich flavors, genuine hospitality, and great value in every visit.
“ Pretty tasty. Only thing on the small side but good flavor ”
“ What a great experience!!! This place is amazing, the food was very, very good, l am peruvian and, trust me on this, it is not easy to find the real peruvian flavors, at a fair to low price for the quality of food that you get there. But besides the food and the goid prices, the mos impressive feature is the service, the "attention to detail" we received from Mónica and Enrique was the "Cherry of the lce cream", they provided us with such a smooth, comfortable and pleasent atmosphere, that really made us feel at home. If you pass by, ask for Mónica, she not just will give you the correct advice but after a couple of questions, she will anticipate your taste and needs. Way to go Armando's Pollo Rico Team!!! ”

“ We’ve been visiting this location for many years, food has always been amazing. The one item that keeps coming back is their green sauce!!!!!! This is by far the best green sauce ever! (We’ve had a lot of different green sauces) it’s the perfect amount of spicy and creamy. It is always consistent and my husband absolutely loves it. Also, their rotisserie chicken are always fresh and cooked to perfection ( crispy skin). The prices are average and they always decorate the restaurant for each holiday or occasion. I highly recommend ”
“ Food was great. We got the lunch special and it was a lot of food. Menu did say 10.99 and we got two lunch specials, but somehow the total was over $34. ”
