This is excellent street Mexican food. Sonora Style. I recognize the chicken as soon as I had it.
100% mesquite charcoal grilled gives it a great taste.
We ordered the whole chicken. Comes with 2 sides tortillas and salsa. It was enough for a family of four and had left over. We had 2 carne asada tacos. The best I have had in the valley. Better than backyard tacos. Trust me. We also had dessert.. total bill was. Wait for it..... $27. Yes $27.
Highly recommend this place.
This place is like pollo Lucas in rocky point BUT BETTER! I can’t find any other place that has this kind of chicken grilled over a mesquite firewood. The macaroni and beans are a must put on your tacos. Salsa bar is high-quality with legit tasty guacamole sauce. And I think they have cactus salsa as well. A half chicken meal will feed two people but it won’t get you stuffed.
Wow I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Great food. Great customer service. Great music. I will come here every time I want Mexican food. The food taste just like your at your own bbq and the salsas taste just like moms or aunty makes. This place is very good!!!!
Simply put the food here is incredible, as soon as you enter you are welcomed by the scent of the most perfectly chargrilled chicken you could ever hope for. Tacos are fantastic (pollo and carne asada) but the half chicken is the way to go (you know it's amazing when locals are taking photos to show off to their friends.)
Eduardo and yanin were so great today!!!! I’ve always had takeout and loved the food but today I stayed inside to eat and they have such great customer service!!!!! Most and definitely recommending to other people to come and eat here!!!! The food is fresh and the grilled onions are so good too!!!!!
just moved here from Hawaii and this was the 1st place I ate at since being here OMG 10/10 LOVE THE FOOD/SERVICE (they were SO SWEET!!) I heart this place and will be getting fat here.
Totally worth the drive when I go back. Clean tables and restrooms and food is amazing. Price is completely fair. Authentic food for a better price than what you get at "knock off" or generic restaurants. Great lunch specials too. One and only for me.
Absolutely amazing! Always get the whole chicken meal for my family with rice and beans and the chicken is the best grilled/ charbroiled chicken I've ever had in my life plus it's affordable on top of being absolutely delicious and tons of flavor. They deliver on top of that so you just can't beat it!! Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it right!

The chicken and carne asada here are spectacular! Loads of food for not a whole lot of money. A must-try location!
Amazing food! Carne Asada you can never go wrong, but when they make them into tacos they are amazing.
Pricing is great! If you have been to Backyard Tacos in Gilbert it is pricey for what you get. However, here at Pollo Picante you get a little more than what you actually paid. Plus you still get great tasting food at Pollo Picante.
I would eat here everyday if I could and it wasn't a drive. However, when I am craving tacos, I will make the drive out to buy from them. Plus the owner makes you feel welcomed and is social as well as the staff.
