Arrosto, Portland OR

Delicious rotisserie chicken and potatoes (with a side salad) perfectly prepared and ready to serve. The rich and slightly smoky dipping sauce accompaniment (also available by the bottle in store) makes for a tasty and satisfying meal.

What happened to Arrosto? !? !
Arrosto has been our favorite chicken place for years since moving to Portland. We used to eat there about once every week or two.
Since reopening a few months ago we've tried twice and the food is now garbage.
The chicken flavor is just not good.tonight tasting more like chicken bologna than a delicious roast chicken. Also the cuts are all wrong compared to before.wings and legs still attached to breast and thigh.
The potatoes are undercooked, crunchy and not smashed or crispy anymore.honestly taste undercooked and microwaved. Are they even cooked with the chicken anymore?
The salad tonight didn't have croutons and the cheese is now shredded and premixed.

I'm right now not eating the full bird dinner we bought because the flavor and texture of everything but the focaccia is just bad.

The new ordering method is fine-ish once you know how it works, but no method to talk with anyone and definitely very impersonal.

Unfortunately, I won't be ordering here again which is really really sad as this has been our favorite chicken place in Portland.

Do not like the order and pickup process. I had ordered online. A walk up tried to order at the kiosk. He got frustrated and just left.
It is way to impersonal. I much prefer a human being that can answer questions and help. It will be a long time until I return. Also bread was not cut. Potatoes were not smashed like they used to be.

First time ordering since they reopened. I love Arrosto, but i am a bit disappointed with the changes. 1) the focaccia used to come pre sliced, now its one slab that we had to cut and did so conservatively which amounted to 3 tiny slices (enough for 2? No) 2) We received one pitiful serving of Arrosto sauce which is the crown jewel in this meal. This amounted to about 1T per person that we fought over. We used to be able to order extra, but now the only option is to buy an entire bottle which is an extra $8. We aren't all in the market to buy an entire bottle of sauce with short life span. Can you plz bring back being able to order extra? 3) There were enough potatoes to feed 5 people which was confusing. We would have preferred less potatoes, to getting sauce for 2 and focaccia for 2. Hopefully these things can be adjusted down the road.

A few months ago I gave I gave this place a 5-Star review, but now with all their changes, I had to lower the review. You're unable to call and speak to anyone. You can't order for a specific pick-up time. And there are limited options for add-ons. Less service! And chicken was a little over-cooked and dry.

Got the whole bird dinner in need of any easy weeknight meal. Best $36 I ever spent. Everything was so flavorful and cooked perfectly.

An absolutely boring salad that was 90% Quinoa with a bland hard boiled egg, a couple pieces of veggies and a few shards of boiled chicken. $14 and 20 minutes to get it…Lousy lunch.

Picked up the half chicken meal last night and was so pleasantly surprised. I'd put off trying this place because I had thought it was too expensive but $19 (plus tip) for an incredible two-person meal was a great deal. Everything was so delicious!

I went to arrosto for the first time today. I ordered the chicken salad, and when I tell you guys I had a panic attack while driving! There was a big long bug with wings in my salad I almost ate! I’m so disgusted! Check your food! I took it back immediately & asked for a refund instead of the new salad they were offering.

Wow! Super delicious chicken from Arrosto. Had the grilled version and it was absolutely amazing! Felt fresh and was made to perfection. Definitely recommend this place:)

Wow wow wow.pretty sure i was in heaven during the 30 minutes i ate this.thank you thank you for the nourishing meals ya’ll offer! From the quality ingredients, the accessible pricing, to the little details like making sure our salads don’t get soggy.
Everything was flavored so well (especially the salad dressing)
i recently switched over from begin vegan & my body is thanking me for this meal!
