Rikko's Peruvian Cuisine Manassas

I ordered from this place thru DoorDash. I got the "1 Whole Chicken 2 Large Sides" meal. For my sides I went with beans and corn. I ordered around 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon. The total cost after DoorDash fees and tips ended up being around $35.. So I really hope it lives up to the cost. I simply saw this on DoorDash and thought it looked good; I've never been to any Peruvian places. The chicken was decent. The first few bites from the leg/thigh had no seasoning mixed in and tasted great, with nice crispy skin and juicy meat. Then, I got into the skin with seasoning caked on like it was frosting on a birthday cake. It was over-seasoned and sharp flavors that did little to complement the great tasting meat. If you want my opinion, I say cut the seasoning back by 2/3 and call it good. The seasoning was caked on so thick you could scrape it off with a knife and have enough there to coat 2 more chickens. I didn't find the sides of yellow and green dipping sauces appealing at all. In fact, the green sauce was dripping in fluid, which had made a mess leaking all over the bag, in addition to smelling bad. Both are a no-go for me. The beans were good. They were cooked well. The juices that the beans were in was a must-have, and would be nothing more than dry and crumbly if they didn't have the juicy sauce. The sauce makes it great. They were lovely. The corn was perfect. Great on portion, and great on flavor. The saddest part of this meal should have been the part that was looked forward to the most. The chicken! Because of the over-seasoning and the failure to let the meat speak for itself, I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a regular rotisserie chicken meal. If you're looking to branch out from hot wings or Caribbean food, then yeah, give it a try. But if you're of simple taste, like me, try it at your own risk, because you might find that it is too much for something you thought was so simple.

Excellent food and friendly ownership. They had a good selection and it was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the sweet potatoes and crust on the juicy chicken. New favorite restaurant for sure!
