Marina’s Pollo A La Brasa

Very quick service. I ordered take out and it only took about 5 minutes. And the chicken, rice and beans, and plantains were all fantastic. The chicken was moist and flavorful as was everything else.

I have been going to Marina’s forever…10+ years. I love their food. The chicken is amazing… the yuca, rice and beans and platanos are soooo yummy. I went their pregnant with both of my girls and I am still getting food their til this day. I tell the kids (now 9 & 11) I am, picking up Marinas and they get sooooo excited.

The server was nice and the food was decent but nothing to drive out of your way for. Nothing bad about the chicken, it just isn’t stellar. It was pretty empty when we came by but it was 3:30pm…
The plantains were good as well.
Decidedly average but not pretentious.

Pretty good. We used to order chicken from here before pollo mex opened up on New Hampshire ave. chicken is solid– not the best but def not bad. The limo saltado was veryyyyy good. I haven’t had this in prob a year and it was as good as I remember. Fiancé got a seafood yellow sauce dish. I thought it would have been better with chicken or beef cause the calamari made it taste fishy imo. The next day I went back and ordered a cilantro sauce dish named seco. That was good too but it was just two pieces of short rib. Will visit more often because the other food choices in the area just aren’t good anymore.

I like this place. The chicken is good and flavorful. Always moist. Sardis is better, but this is good and close to work.
The staff is always decent when I go. The only down side is they don’t offer discount for large group orders or for catering. For this reason, my company does not order from here often.

On a rainy night I picked up a side of chicken with yuca and beans and rice. I will have to say the décor and ambiance of the place is very nice and cozy, it smelled very clean and the dining area and bar were very organized. The sweet lady that took my order makes me want to return. When I got home with my bag of hot chicken and yuca I was not blown away. I feel bad typing this … but I have to be honest. The chicken was not as juicy, however it was seasoned and hot. The beans and rice were basic, the yuca, well this was my first time trying it so I will not give my opinion. Nowadays, there are Peruvian chicken spots popping up everywhere. I have toagree with the other reviews, it was edible but not stellar. I will not give up on Marina’s, maybe their staple menu item is another dish.

Best peruvian chicken I’ve had??? NO… but it wasnt bad either. I’d go back if I was in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat. Their ‘green sauce’ was on point though. I wish I could make that stuff at home. I’d eat it on everything!

I live near this place and never been in there. My neighbor told me to try it cause she loves the place. Well I wanted to but couldn’t. The staff was very nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. The first time I came I ordered the half chicken dinner with two sides. The chicken was delicious but the portions for the sides were «SKIMP!!» It look like someone took a baby spoon and put two scoops of each side dish on my plate. I wanted to really like this place so I gave it a second try. I ordered the whole chicken with two sides this time. You would think for a family of three it would be enough. But it wasn’t at all!!! The chicken is delicious but the portions of the side dishes are very small. This place is a good alternative if you want something quick that’s an alternative to traditional fast food. But order an extra side.

Is Marina’s the best Peruvian chicken around? Nope, not really. But it’s got convenient parking, the chicken’s pretty good, the sides are generous, and you can get a real Coke with real sugar in a real bottle alongside your meal. Add on top that a half-​chicken with two sides is $ 8 for a pretty sizable portion, and that’s a winning combination. Muy bueno, Marina’s.
They’ve even got a full bar if you wanna tip one back. We didn’t find service problematic at all, but you may want to have a little patience if you don’t speak Spanish.

I wish I could give them an even lower rating. I just called them to place an order. The woman who answered the phone was the epitome of rudeness. I asked her one question about the pricing of a menu item, and she put me on hold right away. I then asked her how many people one of their chickens would serve and she said she didn’t know. Apparently there are many people who eat an entire chicken by themselves and even some more who eat half a chicken by themselves. Thank you for that information. How can you work in a restaurant that serves mainly chicken and not give me a range of how many people it can feed? When I asked her if sides came with it, she acted like it was the stupidest question in the world. Well, you probably should have told me that the initial price you gave me included the chicken plus sides. She basically said Oh Lord, into the phone. Thank you so much, but I’m taking my business elsewhere.
Note to Management: I know your place is probably oh so busy on Sunday nights (I’m being pretty sarcastic), but you should probably have people manning the phones who know a thing or two about customer service.
