At Mario's Y Polleria, the only standout item on the menu is definitely the green sauce (aji). I ordered chicken for lunch—it had some flavor but was quite tough. I also tried the salchipapa, which includes fries and hot dogs, and was charged $10 for it, even though it usually costs around $7 or $8. The hot dogs were chicken-based, and I even saw the staff buying them next door; they didn’t look very appetizing. Honestly, this place was much better when it first opened, but now it’s not worth the money. The lomo was okay, but the price has gone up from $14 to $17.

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. Here’s a useful tip: if you want to buy their green sauce, this is the spot! They sell a large plastic container for only $5.50, which is a much better deal than El Gordo’s $10 glass jar. I’ve tried it, and you get about twice as much for half the price. Amazing food, great service, and very affordable!
The best Peruvian food in town! The chicken is exceptional! Mr. Mario and his team are always friendly and welcoming during our visits. Parking can be somewhat challenging due to its downtown location, and they only accept cash. It is a bit on the expensive side, but absolutely worth it!

This is my favorite restaurant! The chicken is full of flavor, and the prices are very reasonable. The owner is extremely friendly, too. I've become a regular here, haha. The food is definitely better than any other Peruvian restaurants I've tried.
I can't believe I paid $30 for a single order of the special arroz chaufa. It felt like a complete rip-off! I definitely won't be ordering from that restaurant again.
I spent $30 on a single order of the special arroz chaufa, and it was a total letdown. I definitely won’t be ordering from this restaurant again.
The food is exceptional, and they serve a fantastic Chicha Morada. The staff is extremely friendly.
