For what is in the fast good category you won't do better. They are quick and the food is good. Presentation is well done. I will be back.

Very good place on the "fast food" side of things. The chicken is flavorful and isn't dry at all. Rice is good as well. Prices are more than reasonable and portions are sizable. This is my favorite location to go to. Give it a try!

This is basically a take out place, but their chicken dinner for a family is one of the best grilled chicken out there.

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!

This Pollo Rico is a great location to get food from!!! Every time I go, I get what I ordered 98% of the time, and will also always order lots of green sauce on the side. The green sauce is GREAT for everything Pollo Rico offers or personal dishes you got at the house!!! For me the food is awesome, but the green sauce is the cherry on the top. Favorite meals I FREQUENTLY get are the 1/2 chicken meal, the chicken taquitos, and the potato with chicken. My wife likes the chicken flautas, and chicken quesadilla. Also we have had the horchata before and that’s really good too! As far as drive thru times you can expect to be out of here in 5 minutes most of the time, but there are does busy occasions like during prime dinner time where it can take up to 10 minutes to get out of the drive thru. The staff is usually really nice, and mostly seems to speak Spanish. When ordering I have not had any challenges, and just keep it real simple. Sometimes they will sneak me some free green sauce when I order 3-4 extra on the side!! Much appreciated. Our only recommended growth is the refried beans. The charro beans they offer are SUPER good, but the refried beans they offer could use some work. Overall a great location with good food, and great service!!!!! Thank you Pollo Rico!

Really nice workers who speak English and Spanish. Super yummy giant burritos which is why this is one of my fave comfort food places.

The Tostadas Ricas are that!! One of the best. I like this place. They have never disappointed me. I have also ordered the fajita tacos and chicken flautas are good too.

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. 😳

Purchasing a meal from this place is a treat for us. The baked potato with the fajita meat is excellent enough for almost two or three persons to eat. The barbecue chicken is excellent normally we split our meal and enjoy a variety of foods from this place. Can't beat it!
