First time here. I pass this place all the time and finally decided to go in and boy was I pleased. I ordered the half-white, chick peas and pasta salad. First of all, I don't know how they char that chicken and not make it dry. That chicken was so juicy and flavorful, almost as good as grilled chicken. Seasoned to perfection! I've never had chic peas, but they were also seasoned to perfection. (I like chic peas now) And last but not least, the pasta salad was 🔥. Nice portions and reasonably priced, I recommend this restaurant to everyone 👍🏽👍🏽 If I had more thumbs, they could definitely get them, I will definitely be back

Sometimes, while visiting towns, you have to ask a local where to eat. Some suggestions work out, and others don’t. Well, my buddy, Karl, had a pretty good suggestion for a recent trip to Louisville. My wife and I stopped by Yummy Polo to give it a try. Yummy Polo is a Peruvian-style charcoal-fired rotisserie chicken, slowly char-broiled and paired with southern-style mouthwatering sides—big flavors, big servings, designed to hit anyone’s spot. I had the Half dark chicken with cilantro rice and chickpeas. The rice was cooked well, buttery, and had a hint of salt. I wasn’t getting much cilantro flavor, but it was still tasty. The chickpeas were tender but still had a nice chew to them; the sauce they were cooked in had some subtle heat on the back end, and the dish needed a little salt. Th

I ordered a pick up order here but ended up dining in instead. The staff were nice and very accommodating. I ordered the 1/4 white meat meal with fried yuca, chicken fried rice, and add pita bread. The chicken was delicious. Hot, nice flavor, juicy on the inside with a nice crisp outside. The chicken fried rice was a little dry imo but the fried yuca were hot and delicious. I'd definitely return

Excellent roasted chicken. Very fresh and like the name says it is yummy. There is a great selection of sides to choose from. The yucca fries were hot and tasty. The chick peas had a great flavor to them and I loved the cilantro rice. The mashed potatoes were made from fresh potatoes and not the box kind. The service was quick and the food was fresh. What I also really appreciated was that the tables and restaurant were clean. I’ve been in several places where it seems like they have a hard time cleaning but not here. This place was recommended by a friend and it was not a let down. The sauce was awesome.

It's a simple place, they focus on the food and the kindness towards customers. Yummy pollo is definitely one of the best meals in Louisville. $30 fed 3 adults with leftovers.
