El Pollo Rico

Their chicken is usually juicy and smokey and the whole bird meal is a solid last minute dinner option. Rice is meh, beans usually hit and at only 8oz, you may want to order additional or queso and chips. Other locations' queso are often watery and bland, but this location is the most consistent at doing it right. Flautas always slap and I enjoy the Papa Asada when I'm particularly hungry. Gotta watch the chicken since this place breaks down their own birds and a little bone or thick cartilage makes it to the plate occasionally. Reminds me of childhood home-cooked meals, it happens. Live equidistant to 3 Pollo Rico's and this one is my go-to!

I got the half chicken meal. I tried to get dark only, I was told that's how it comes literally ½ the chicken. I brought it home and the breast was so dry, my husband fed it to the dogs! The flavor was excellent, charcoal cooked, just enough salt. This time the breast was dry. The beans were good, the rice was good, there were plenty of corn tortillas for us to share. 1 plate fed us both. Usually the meat is tasty and tender. It was a bummer that this was my husbands 1st experience. 😳
