Anyone tried Don Pollo in Bethesda?

How is it? I haven't been able to go yet, and truth be told, I have never been to any of the chicken places, so I wouldn't have anything to compare it to; I just want to know if I should go or skip it! Thanks!

    Went for the first time yesterday and had chicken, french fries, yuca, cole slaw, plantains and mashed potoatos and all were excellent!!!! Very excited about this find....

      Same owners as Chicken on the Run (and same chicken).

        ^^Oh good. That location is even closer to me and we love COTR - so I guess it's a win-win! I'll have to try this out this week.

        I would second "treetop tom's" recommendation. The chicken at the Rockville location (Viers Mill Road) has always been excellent. Pollo ala Brasa, yucca, rice and beans - excellently done.

          Is this new? Where is it located? I always just go to Chicken on the Run.

            I might be remembering wrong, but I think it was going to move into the former Chesapeake Chicken & Ribs spot on Wisconsin Ave.

              I think it's right next to Persimmon.

            I've never been to the Bethesda location, but if they are affiliated with the Don Pollo in the Twinbrook Shopping Center in Rockville I would heartily recommend it.
