    Amazing value, cute and tidy place, quick and friendly service.

    The plato tipico is enough to last for a day! Comes with egg, chicharron, 1/4 roast chicken, rice and beans. The deep fried pork is so crunchy yet not overdone as to get hard. Immensely satisfying!!

    Dont forget to try the fresh fruit juices and smoothies. It is better here than most places I've been to.

    Hope to be back here again soon, it is definitely worth the trip.

    I used to eat pollos Pucalor chicken on a weekly basis many years ago when I worked in the Dover area. So, when I had a meeting in town, I had to stop by for lunch. I'm happy to note that the place hasn't changed a bit, workers are friendly, there's a small dining area in the back and the chicken still taste the same. I ordered the special for $8. It came with two pieces of chicken, rice and beans, a potato, salad and their homemade chicken soup. I wasn't a fan of the soup but the chicken dish with the rice, beans, potato and salad was on point.

    Please note: it's a $10 min for credit cards so I ended up having to purchase two waters to make it to the minimum. I hate when restaurants do that. Next time I'll make sure I have enough cash.

    My new go to lunch spot. I usually order food to go.
    My family and I love the delicious pollo a la brasa & platanos maduros. The meals are a great deal. Enjoy!

    4 stars easily, maybe even 4.5. Reason why it's not 5 was a few things. 1: they don't have any drinks other than sugary colas and water. 2: they put out food with no serving utensils 3: when the door opens and shuts, it gets damn cold in there.

    That aside, the food is fantastic. We got tostones, sweet plantains, two whole chickens with 4 sides (2 red beans, papas fritas and salad) all for around $40. Service was great and all the food was prepared very well. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, the beans were soft and flavorful and everything was presented well. I would definitely go back here as you can't beat feeding a family of 4 for $40 and still having a half a chicken left over. The entire time, people were coming in and eating or taking about chicken to go. Must have sold 50 chickens during the hour or so we were there. The bathroom door locks are tricky though and my mother wound up locking herself in the women's room requiring my dad to rescue her, it was funny.

    This is a hole in the wall kinda place. The chicken combo is a good deal. One whole chicken with a choice of 2 sides. Chicken is tender and flavored all the way through. They also have one of the best french fries around. I wouldn't recommend the chicharones (pork) though.  Although the flavor was there, it was too dry and tough. Service is friendly and fast. My go-to restaurant when I'm in Dover.
