El Pollo Primo is an authentic Salvadoran chicken joint in a strip mall along Rockville Pike. Prices are very competitive and food is cooked on a huge grill right in the front window so those who worry about artificial ingredients can watch their food prepared! The decor is endearingly wacky and the staff is very friendly.
