The Pollo Company

Our Story

Born in DC. Built on Fire.

The Pollo Company is a Washington, DC institution — serving bold, charbroiled chicken with roots in Latin American tradition and the soul of the city.

Where It All Started

We started with a simple belief: great chicken doesn't need to be complicated. It needs heat, time, and the right spices. Our rotisserie has been turning since day one, slow-roasting birds over an open flame the way it's been done for generations.

Located in the heart of Northeast DC, The Pollo Company has become a neighborhood staple — the kind of place where regulars know the menu by heart and first-timers always come back. We're proud of where we come from and who we feed every day.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Real Fire, Real Flavor

Every bird is charbroiled over an open flame. No shortcuts, no compromises — just the deep, smoky flavor that keeps people coming back.

Fresh Every Day

We prep fresh daily. If it's not good enough to serve to our own family, it doesn't go on your plate.

Rooted in DC

Northeast DC is home. We're proud to be part of this community and committed to serving it well — one plate at a time.

Family First

From our kitchen to your table, everything we do is guided by the values of family — care, respect, and feeding people well.
