The chicken is usually as you expect for el pollo. Which is all I really ask for with this place. The customer service is a C minus on a good day. Dine in is pretty unwelcoming so I wouldn’t recommend it.

The chicken was and always has been consistently dry, not much more to say.

Went to this location for the first time since I don’t live in the area. I was greeted by the manager (I think she’s a manager, short hair). This location is clean, staff are friendly, we got exactly what we ordered and it was fast. Really appreciate the service of the staff at this location. Thank you!

The staff sang along to the piped in Spanish music. How much more authentic can you find unless there’s a mariachi band too. Great place for a quick lunch.

I usually love getting the chicken breast. I decided to get a combo. Breast and wing but sub the wing for thigh. I would have to say eating towards evening is probably not the best. The breast was dry and very very small, like meat may have been missing from it. Thigh too was a lil small to me. They did have and hour and half before Close but I guess next time I go, ill just go for lunch. Love the tortilla soup.
