My family visited here last night and the food was uh-mazing.. Ambience chilled out.. we had the rib eye steak and the cajun spice chicken... the food was flavorful.. Portions were good.. It was a meal to remember. This was all despite us going to the restaurant just half an hour before it closes.

Will surely visit again.

The only down side is that it closes as 10 as the mall closes that time,

Food is great. Make sure you get the Cajun Chicken and also try their lamb chops. Very good portion and the food is very tasty. Would come back again for sure!

So it’s now the 2nd time I have dined at this restaurant because their food is so delicious. Every time I have tried something new and it has always turned out to be nice. The Cajun grill chicken is so nice and juicy and flavorful, the pizza too is nice.
I would definitely be back a 3rd time to try something different. The outdoor sitting is also nice with the current pleasant weather we have.

American and Mexican type of restaurant located inside uptown mirdif. Ambience and service is quite good and also the price is little reasonable. Ordered chicken masala with rice and grilled chicken where I will give 5 star for grilled and 3 for chicken masala. Overall nice restaurant to have grilled food.

Big portion sizes. I’ve tried their pastas only, and I like them quite a bit. Delivery was quick, too.

Very quick and tasty. Love the chicken burrito. We usually share one for two of us since it’s pretty big.

Food can't uphold their luxury ambience. .

Food Quality: 2.5/5
Quantity: 4/5
Service:4/5
Value for money:2.5/5
Ambience:4/5

Ordered:

Seafood soup:
Better than average but with 25 aed you can have better soup from various restaurants.

Santa Fe:
Come on. Such luxury in ambience but salad made of stale ingredients. By watching and salad lover can say ingredients are not fresh.

Chicken Taco:
Very ordinary. Total disappointment.

It was a disappointment that in my rating system they got 3.5.
3 could be a suitable rating for them. Food Quality can't justify the price but ambience is extraordinary.

I went few times to Poyo Rico & ordered different items. In general, their ambience is welcoming & smooth. Their decoration is not so convenient especially the rough chairs but it’s their style.
For the food, i ordered shrimp pasta it was very good (just the sauce needs to be less), also got Ribeye Steak which was not the best (it was very well done with too much chewy fatty sides). Their juice is nice, i tried lemon mint & it was refreshing

I LOVE THE VIBES. This restaurant is a hidden gem! The interior is just so beautiful I don't see many mexican going out of their traditions this way.

For starters, I had fries that were seasoned with some herb along the lines of thyme and tastes delicious (even their fries aren't generic), I had the taco salad because it comes in a taco and I like carbs and meat in my salad, it was great along with their lemon-mint juice it'd have been enough to fill me up if I wasn't a foodie.

I then had their mexican quesadilla, it was very good. Well made and very lightly flavored.

I went with my sister so she ordered (and I had) their soft tacos. Probably one of the best I've had.

My favorite thing? All the chicken came sizzling hot!

Their pineapple juice is fresh and good as well.

You must go!

Classic ambience, classy wooden touch interiors! Good work on the decors! Open kitchen but too bright lights on day time. They serve everything on chicken! And one salmon on the menu. The grill chicken is there signature comes with half & full! was good & tender and not that ooh la la ! Comes with a choice of two from rice, salad, fried, beans or coleshaw The chicken quesadilla was good but cheese was more harder inside, could have been better with more soft and melty cheese inside. The nuggets was more harder and crispy not so soft, the fresh juices are good not much choices though. The service staffs were so amateur, they forgot items, bad suggestions on food! Need more training for the service staffs. Over all The place was quite good to try. Recommended!

One of the tasty hidden gems in Mirdif. I have tried their fajita and always order it regularly. The food is great and the waiters are very friendly.

I wonder why this restaurant is not known much in our area, while walking in uptown mirdif came across this eatery , they said it's a new Peruvian restaurant opened up like six months , they serve Peruvian grilled chicken and Mexican food .

The ambience is really nice , they have done the interiors really well , contemporary street side style , withy cycles, renused boxes and garage lighting . The chairs are reused from old cycles .

They have cute lil funcky messages all over their wall .

When we went we're placing order they said , there is offer now half chicken with two sides and three sauces is just for 37 dhs , we got really excited. And ordered that . Chose Cajun spicy flavour for charcoal chicken , they did say it's fresh chicken and they prepar fresh so takes 15-20 mins .

Also we ordered steak sizzle and orange juices .

The steak came in first delicious steak little pole though with salad , sour cream , tortilla and glucomole .

The charcoaled chicken came next , perfectly grilled juicy chicken with flavours accompanied with coleslaw, beans gravy and Peruvian rice . All taste yum. Also thee sauces , the coriander sauce , hummus and mayonnaise .

The service was excellent also the food . This place. Reds to be visited cause for that price it's a wow deal . All their chicken are fresh , sourced locally and they marinate 24 hours only .

This is a new restaurant opened in Mirdif Uptown Mall. They serve Peruvian Charcoal Chicken and Mexican food. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Contemporary interiors. The kitchen is open. Their chicken is sourced locally and fresh. Marinated for 24 hours. I had Half grilled Chicken with side salad. The salad was fresh and crisp. The chicken was really juicy, grilled to perfection. I really enjoyed eating here.

You always wonder if there were any competition for Nandos? If you are a basic charcoal chicken lover, you haven't tried it until you come to Poyo Rico. Never have I gone a to a downtown chicken only restaurant and enjoyed every single dish served on the table including the simple fries. As one chicken lover to another this place is definitely under rated, I highly recommend given this place a try. Has a stylish ambience and a great menu.

Decided to look for a venue with open spaces, given the wonderful weather. Was quite surprised to see the vastness of the place, with nice ambience and well done interiors, surprisingly the place was empty.

We ordered the greek salad, which had the freshest of greens. and along with it the charcoal chicken,  it was nice and tender - it had a rub on it, which was difficult to decipher - more of a herby, masala type little strong but nice. The platter came with various dips and some pita bread slices. Quite a filling meal. 

Service was good - more on the pricey side and portions are good, can be shared.

New place. Went with a friend to try out Peruvian Charcoal Chicken.
Very differently done wooden interiors.
We tried the '1/2 Chicken with 2 sides' combo. The sides being -Pinto Beans and Rice.
And we had a Chicken Fajita Wrap.
The combo was again different...the charcoal Grilled chicken with Peruvian spices was soft and tender. The 3 dips -Mint and Coriander , Hummous and one more...they added to the Spicy mix. The beans and Rice made a whole meal.
The Fajita Wrap was a safe back-up. It also turned out very juicy and spicy as requested.
Peruvian cuisine has got a new fan...and Poyo Rico has started off on the right note.
Ambience and Service- 4.0
Variety on menu- 3.0
Food and Taste- 3.5
Pocket friendliness - 3.5

Will be here for more. And recommend.

Honestly I was not expecting this place to be so 👍 good so I'll try not to judge before I eat again. The food was so great in all aspects, we had a lot of what was on the menu and it was really great. The portions are also good sized so don't miss out on this new great place.

New place, really cozy, love the décor, I was in a rush so just opted for a beef burger, was really juicy and lots of taste, French fries was fresh and crispy on outside and soft on inside just how I like it. Dont have dessert on the menu and had to choose from cake selection. Cakes are organic, had the caramel chocolate, was a bit dry and bitter to my taste. Service needs some improvement, my waitress didn't speak much, didn't make any suggestions, didn't check back and had to call someone for my bill, no name badges so didn't even know the waiters name. Manager checked on us and was friendly. Will definitely go back.

This place is new and they may have teething problems but overall:

One of the best chicken I have had in Dubai. Very soft and tasty.

Also great sauces. Really tasteful.

I needed a place like that to order food from.

Decent prices. I would say I spent AED100 and got a lot of food.

Definitely ordering back.

This is a new restaurant in uptown mirdif .. Mexican food is simple and Nice. This is a Peruvian restaurant which I believe has quite in common with Mexican.. Soft tacos is always something I love and the one here were not that bad .. As they are new they take really good care of their customer. We informed them about the mint lemon not being up to the mark and they apologized and offered us complimentary dessert which turned out to be really good. Restaurant is not always all about taste it's also about customer service. I couldn't try their chicken which seems to be good and maybe will be back for it ..

I've ordered home delivery, tried the grill chicken platter which is basically 2 chicken breasts with seasoning was too salty in my opinion, the side green salad was good. The fried tenders with fat fries were ok. The food were ok nothing special
