Pardo's Chicken - Lima - Restaurants, Cafes & Food Reviews

We say that the peruvian is "Pollero", that means that he eats a lot of chicken. So, it's no suprise that the country is full of "pollos a la brasa" roast chicken restaurants. Nevertheless, Pardo's Chicken is the best one! It's everywhere in Lima and is a more upscaled polleria. Pollo a la brasa is considered our fast food.

If you like roast chicken, you'd love this place! The meat is juicy and tender, and full of flavor. The sides are excellent as well. The yuquitas (fried yuca strips) are delicious. Personnally I find them better than the french fries. The dipping sauces are really good. The aji (spicy sauce) is my favorite. Not too spicy, just perfect.
Besides the chicken, you can find steak, grilled meats, and salads. But the star is the chicken.

But not only the food is great, also the drinks are good. They have Happy Hour and you can't forget about the atmosphere of the place. The staff is really helpful and will sing and give you cake if it's your birthday.

One thing I've come to learn about Peruvian food is that it costs less than American food, and tastes better. I ordered "Chicarron de pollo", which is simply chicken fingers. It was the best chicken I've ever had.

Pardo's Chicken is a cross between a fast food joint and nice restaurant. It has a beautiful view, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. My friend came out of the restroom at Pardo's with the most shocked look I've seen on his face in a long time...according to him, there is an excellent view of the ocean from the lavatory. I forgot to check it out for myself, because just after that was explained to me, my chicken was delivered. It was so good, it induced amnesia.
