Nice tasting food , although the perfumes they have in the other building in their backyard are overpriced, they were selling a $30 perfume for $70 , I don’t trust to buy perfumes without getting overcharged there anymore , the food is good tho.
The food was very tasty and well made. The owner was very nice towards us and the workers were very nice about everything. It feels very cozy and nice. 11/10 Will come back!
Very good and tasty food, such a comfortable environment, one of the best spots I’ve hit so far.
Ordered fried chicken, beans, and a couple other side dishes. The food had no taste the chicken was good I would suggest try seasoning your food better. To charge the amount you charge at least add seasoning with that being said would not return too many other restaurants to explore
Note from February 2022 visit. Best Fried Chicken in Metro Detroit, bet you didn't know for over a decade. Pollo Chapin; a little yellow house trimmed in green, serving up some of the best fried chicken in the D along with Guatemalan specialties. Diners are treated to a bowl of marvelous Chicken Noodle Soup outstanding unique Flavor. We ordered a 12 pc Chicken devored it all, we've been a dozen times since they opened. A real house you eat inside the dining room, owners live upstairs. A small Patio for outside dining when warm weather returns.Also had Mac n Cheese, Fries and the Award Winning Tamal. Guatemalan tamale (tamal), wrapped in a banana leaf the masa is made with broth and lard producing a moist, rich and fluffy outside to a tasty filling of chicken, vegetables and spices. A must try big enough to share. Look for the big Yello House on Junction just north of West Vernor, you can see Holy Reedemer. Also a diverse menu of food from the Homeland Guatemala for you on a Foodie venture put this on your list. #pollochapin #guatemala #chicken #tamal #chickenhouse #eatswdetroit #downriverfriendseat #motorcitymunchers
Last weekend my girlfriend and I went here and took some takeout. Now I eat a lot of chicken, but nothing came close to this. The chicken here is amazing. The people who served us also made it short and sweet, and they deserve your order. And the building itself is just a beautiful and cleanly place. 10/10 we loved everything about it that I have to go back soon. I can't praise it enough
Pollo Chapin is a fantastic little lunch or dinner spot in Southwest Detroit. If you're expecting traditional Guatemalan food, there are a few staples like tamales on the menu, but the real star here is the fried chicken. The chicken was cooked fresh and was absolute crispy and delicious perfection. The side dishes range from french fries, to salads, to black beans, all of which are enjoyable. While I waited for my meal, the restaurant also provided a cup of flavorful chicken noodle soup, that puts the typical bland versions of the dish to complete shame. Worth noting that the restaurant has it's own parking lot and the dining room, while small, had several four-top tables for seating.
Fantastic food everytime. Please go and support this sweet family restaurant. Covid has made them slow. We can't lose a great place.
