Super Pollo Latino

This place has great rotisserie chicken. You have to accept the restaurant for what it is. Its a cheep neighborhood hole in the wall, It’s filthy. There is bird poop dlipping off the sign. When it’s raining or it’s snowing they put cardboard on the floor but they have awesome rotisserie chicken. I never sat in the restaurant or use the bathrooms and I try to never look in the kitchen. Do yourself a favor get the best rotisserie chicken to go. I hope this place stays open forever and the neighborhood need more cheap hole in the wall restaurants with great food. They are becoming harder and harder to find. Enjoy.

Can NOT go wrong with their chicken rice cilantro soup! On days like today, you definitely need hot soup to warm your souls. Served super duper hot, better watch out. The flavors of the soup is so comforting. Loaded with chicken, veggies and potatoes, a quart for only 5 bucks.
Small, not so attractive place, and a big olé roaster with whole chickens cooking over a fire when you walk in. Walk thru that door and all you smell is the chicken juices dripping over each chicken as it spins slowly inside that metal box.
I’m not too crazy about their chickens, though. Could be seasoned more. Ask for more green sauce, trust me! Don’t forget to also bring an order of their plantains home! Great low prices and feeds the whole family. Cash only!

I love this restaurant. Yes, it looks skeevy. Yes, it has a terrible name. Yes, there is no ambiance. But their green sauce is, yuuuuuuum. I love this place. I love their green plantains, I love their chicken, and I love their pink beans. Its the best meal for several people under 10 dollars!

I think the he’s the owner but there is a man who looks mad. I would go more often if the man was friendly. We order 6 chickens last time for a party. When we came back he had cut the chickens. I mean I didn’t tell him to cut them. Other restaurants we went to always asks us if we want cut or whole. This is the first and last time we going. A relative also had a problem there and she told me about it but decided to give it a try. If it wasn’t for the man who looked angry I would’ve probably go back.

This is one of those random restaurants that makes me happy to live in Sunset Park. I used to buy rotisserie chickens at places like Union Market and whatever, but they don’t have anything on this place. The chicken is gooood. The prices are cheap. That green sauce is everything. I don’t even bother trying to cook chicken at home anymore.

I like Super Pollo, I have becoming here for many years. The chicken is great– this by the way is the only dish i recommend to order. Because the rest of the dishes are not very good, and is not authentic Peruvian food.
I gave it three stars because it is a fair place for the neighborhood. However it has fallen out of my favorite places as it has a B for their food from the food administration. In addition, the bathroom and kitchen does not look very clean to me.
I continue to order here and there but this place is one of those I call «try at your own risk»

A conversation I had with a Super Pollo employee who was pouring a large vat of green sauce into a squeeze bottle:
«Hey, what’s in that green sauce? It’s pretty good.»
«I can’t tell you.»
«Is it uh. like, a secret?»
«Yes»
“Um… is it made with tomatoes?”
«Not even close.»
«Well, Is there a name for it? (I’ll just Google the recipe when I get home!)»
«Hot sauce.»

If you name any restaurant with the word Super you better have a really super dish.
The word super implies great, fantastic, awesome out of this world and knock my socks off.
Well with that said this is a plain jane, no frills, spin the bird on a rotisserie oven place. The chicken is okay if it was super I would be there every day.
Its chicken with some seasoning which I could barely taste and I have eaten a lot of chicken in the last 40 years to know if it was super or just OK.
The platano maduro was delicious so sweet and juicy now that was super in my book cause that’s the way I like it.
So overall not a bad place to pick up some chicken and have a picnic in Sunset Park right across the street as you have some beautiful vistas of Lower New York Bay.
But this is not super chicken!

Good seasoning they are delicious

The rotisserie chicken is really good and pretty cheap. That’s the reason you go here, I think.
Chimichurri is good too.
They were out of tostones, so I got sweet plaintains. I’m not a big fan of sweet plaintains, so I don’t know what I was thinking. I didn’t like them, but if you’re a plaintain fan, you might.

My husband was craving some Peruvian ceviche and since the other reviews gave it high rating we decided to check this place out. My husband is Peruvian so he knows the cuisine well. Although the food wasn’t spectacular it was okay. He had the ceviche de pescado & I had the Lomo saltado (in case he didn’t like the ceviche). We also had the papa a la huancaina. The lomo saltado was okay — it’s hard to not make it well — but the meat was tough and hard to chew. The ceviche was okay — but the onions were not marinated with the fish & just piled raw on top. Perhaps we should have ordered the chicken which everyone else raves about. Service was okay

Definitely one of the best roasted chickens in New York. Very good tostones as well. You feel as if you were in a small joint in Central America.

My boy Justin and I met Jose, our Peruvian spiritual guide, at Super Pollo This was his local. It’s really more of a takeout place so don’t expect great service. They opened 20 minutes late and we were told that all we could get was chicken as the chef still hadn’t shown up yet. After like 20 minutes the chef raced in the door with her 3 year old daughter, complained about the bus, and promptly took our order. We actually got our food pretty quickly, all things considered. And it was very cute seeing the 3 year old setting the tables and folding the napkins.
We got 2 orders of Ceviche as an appetizer. The Ceviche Mixto (shellfish and fish) and Ceviche Pescado (just fish) were both excellent. For an appetizer, I got Choclo (Peruvian corn on the cob with Gigantism) with Peruvian cheese. You gotta check this out! The kernels are as big as nickels! This is a corn lovers opium inspired fantasy. And trust me when I say that one hasn’t lived until on has ate corn with queso cerrano cheese. Queso cerrano is this white cheese almost like mozzarella. The combination of flavors is really quite good. I think about eating choclo all the time. In a more perfect world, we could eat choclo at the movie theatres or order it instead of fries at Wendy’s or Fuddruckers. Jose got Justin and I dipping the choclo kernels in the ceviche limejuice. It is also pretty crucial. We washed it all down with a pitcher of chicho morado, which is Peru’s answer to purple Kool-​Aid.
My boy Jose got the Chaufa Especial, which is Peruvian special fried rice. Although it was $ 10, you get a MOUNTAIN of fried rice with scallions, peas, beef, chicken, and pork. It was pretty good and definitely gave you plenty of leftovers if you tried to eat if yourself.
Of course, one comes to Super Pollo some for the rotisserie chicken. Justin and I got a whole chicken with Tostones (fried sweet plantains) and yellow rice and beans. The chicken was moist and very tasty. The seasoning had just enough kick to it and you got a sizable portion of food for $ 10. The plantains were also good but nothing to write home about. If I lived nearby, I would definitely have this on my speed dial. Hopefully they’ll open a branch in East Williamsburg.

If you’ve got a hankering for roasted chicken then this is a great place to go. It’s definitely no frills and I’ve never eaten in the restaurant itself, but they do pretty nice takeout. The chicken itself is moist and has delicious skin, and they have a lot of enjoyable side dishes. Their sweet bananas come out of the frier positively swimming in oil but are gooey and sweet, their friend plantains (tostones to those who know even a handful of Spanish words) are crisp and delicious when salted, their fried yucca is like chunks of starchy heaven, their white rice is firm and slightly salty, and their avocado salad is enormous and dressed with lime juice. Prices are extremely good and the woman who runs the counter speaks both Spanish and English.
Great chicken, great sides. Absolutely disgusting tamales, but good salad. Grab an Inca Kola and chill while waiting for your takeout order and you’ll be happy with what you get.
