Rico Pollo III Brooklyn Reviews
The food is delicious including the fried fish, mofongo, grilled pork chops, etc.
Amazing, on time and even with this cold weather my food still came in hot. And customs the deliver man was very polite.
Food here is good I've been cooking here for 5 plus years the cicharon de Pollo con gueso is amazing and crunchy. Price is reasonable.
Went there at about 10:30pm, and for being that late, they had fresh food coming out to the hot plates. The white rice was fresh and soft, the rotisserie chicken and pork chops were juicy, and taste was great. The beans were flavorful. And the dressing for the salad was a nice touch. I would definitely come back if I'm ever back in town and recommend you try their food here. You would not be disappointed. I believe the price was fair and worth the food, and the service.
Ate here a few times and got food to go many many times. This place is big with seating inside and now since the pandemic there’s seating outside as well. They have all sorts of cooked, traditional, authentic, Dominican meals and desserts. They have fried fish, chicken, pernil, beans, tostones, soups, different types of rices, etc. their dishes for dine in as well as takeout are gracious and priced modestly. Everything looks clean. Waiter/waitresses as well as the people behind the take out are are nice . I love this place. I get it every chance I get if I’m in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.
This is mostly my husbands favorite stop. Food is good. Service is good, but some workers are slow at times. Very busy place needs very fast paced workers.
Good, possibly great. I ordered the camarones enchilados (shrimp in spicy sauce) which is typically garlicky + flavourful. Seems they skipped the flavour step this day + went for a bottle of one note hot sauce. I'll certainly try again with the camarones al ajillo + the pernil, so it's not a total loss.
This restaurant has the best food 🥘 but the service is poor for someone that looks like me. I sat for minutes waiting for my check. The ladies refused to clear my table. I wish they treated me with the respect I deserve. I hope next time I return I’ll be observing, managers train your staffs you just never know who is who when they comes to your restaurant.
They say Rico Pollo got authentic Spanish food but what I payed for was overly salty I brought a large and small Chicken soup 1 large on small I gave the a 4 tip total 26.00 and it was nasty and salty I flushed down the toilet. It’s sad cause I’ve eaten their food before and it was delicious but this time around it was to salty to eat they should fire the cook soup ain’t supposed to have all that salt and the rice was equally salty! I will never eat or order from them ever. !!!🤬🤬🤬
I spent almost $100 including tip for GARBAGE FOOD I ask for grilled chicken they gave me Ham , grilled cheese on the chicken. The steak taste chewy like I’m eating Gum . The salmon is basically burnt. They don’t make the food with love they don’t care trust me if you want to waste your money and order dog food this IS THE PLACE!!!!!!!!
I was in this location last night, and the food really was great. The hospitality was just as good. But in the end our dining experience turned sour when we received the bill. We ordered #5 the "Family Meal Pepper Steak with Rice" for $25.95. When the bill was given to us, it showed they charged me $36.25. I spoke with our waitress and she said the owner changed the prices, but unfortunately the owner had not updated the prices on the menu. She was apologetic but expressed that she could not do anything regarding the bill. I tipped her, as it's not her fault. I spoke with the gentleman behind the counter and expressed my concern. He said that it was the waitress' fault, as the staff is instructed to tell all the customers of the price changes. I explained it's ultimately the restaurant's responsibility to update the menu, and that it is a clear misrepresentation and disservice to the customer to not have the correct prices on the menu. He argued with me for a good 7 to 8 mins and reluctantly gave me $8.00 back in cash. He didn't give me the correct amount but by this time I was tired, and didn't want to make a scene. Before walking way I told him to please do not punish the waitress as she did nothing wrong. He replies "we don't do that", I hope they keep their word. I also expressed they should really update the menu and he gave me a stern look with no reply. I will not be returning to this place.
