Insanely good ! I love the chicken, it has been consistently good the last 10 years. The sauces are also amazing. I could eat the green sauce with anything. I think the sides are great too, especially rice and beans, plantain and yucca. My only feedback, which you can see in the photo, is it’s not clear why the “Fiesta” meals are actually more expensive than buying separately. Sides cost 4.75 individually (not pictured). I wish I understood that, because why should someone get the fiesta meal?
Are you on a tight deadline? Get fed at Don Pollo. I come here when I have too much work and I don't have time to cook. You'll get a delicious, nutritious meal so you can get back to work. I love the online ordering feature so I can order and pay online. Your order gets prepared so efficiently, much quicker than McDonald's. The food quality is consistent: the roast chicken is always delicious, perfectly cooked, never burnt, never pink. I get it with plantains and rice and black beans. The perfect meal. Customer service is great. The kitchen staff will prepare your meal with love and care.
Fast and delicious. We ordered a big meal for 5 people (including 2 kids) and we all ate, felt satisfied and had leftovers. Bathroom was clean and we felt safe during Covid. The music was kind of loud when we first got there but we just asked them to please turn it down.
I come here often and the food is always good. I like the chicken but the fish is really good and also the lomo. The ceviche is also on point!
Nice quarter chicken meal with the yucca and plantains. Everything I expected from a pollo spot. No complains about the food or service. They did tell me I had to pay extra for the sauce after the fact I gotten my food, I think you should put the sign where you pay so you don’t have to get back in line just to get sauce. There sauce here is so good.
Excellent pollo a la brasa. Nice environment and friendly service.
The taste and the portion are pretty good. The price is affordable. The price for these meals in total is 33.61. There is a good variety of food. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. We loved it here.
Excellent chicken and sides. Definitely a healthy choice. Chicken, beans and rice, yuka, plantains, etc... all delicious. A local favorite for sure. No need to call ahead. The service is very fast. If you choose to call ahead your order will be ready for pick up when you get there. A good location, close to the mall, but not bothered by the mall parking lot traffic. Spaces are narrow but there is plenty of parking. If you have a large vehicle and are worried about the narrow spaces you can park in the mall lot just on the other side of Corner Bakery and it's an easy and convenient walk to Don Pollo from there.
