Primos Chicken Bar
Peru's everyday national dish, Summum's 2025 pick.
- District: Lima
- Cuisine: Pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken)
Primos Chicken Bar is a pollería founded by the Madueño cousins, known for a secret formula for pollo a la brasa, Peru's most-eaten dish: rotisserie chicken with a crisp, golden skin and juicy meat, served with crispy fries. It has become a local favorite more than a tourist landmark, which is part of its charm: an unpretentious, genuine taste of everyday Peru. You can find it in San Isidro (Av. Los Conquistadores 201), La Molina and Miraflores, and it serves daily from about noon to 10 pm. The chicken comes as a quarter, half or whole bird, with sides such as french fries, salad, sweet potatoes or onion rings, so a couple or a family can order exactly what they need. Primos was named Best Rotisserie Chicken (Mejor Pollo a la Brasa) at the Premios Summum 2025 and kept first place at the Premios Summum 2026, ahead of Granja Azul and Tori.
