Pollo Loco Churrasqueria — Restaurant in Vaughan

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Portuguese-style Churrasqueira chicken restaurant, look no further than Pollo Loco. From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted with the tantalizing aroma of perfectly grilled chicken and savoury spices that will have your taste buds tingling with anticipation.

The star of the menu at Pollo Loco is undoubtedly their mouth-watering Portuguese-style Churrasqueira chicken. Each succulent piece is doused in Peri Peri sauce to perfection in a special blend of herbs and spices, then grilled over an open flame until it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

But it's not just the chicken that makes Pollo Loco a must-visit spot. Their sides are just as delicious as the main attraction. The perfectly seasoned potatoes are roasted to a crisp on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside. And the rice is perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the star of the show.

The service at Pollo Loco is also top-notch. What also blew me away was there wasn't an option to tip when cashing out your order. I asked the person behind the counter and they acknowledged they bypassed the tips.

Overall, if you're looking for an authentic and delicious Portuguese style chicken in Vaughan/Maple, this is the...

Unlike the usual breakdown of my reasons for giving a five star review, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that this place just deserves it.

After ordering a whole rotisserie chicken, the person taking my order politely asked if I wanted anything else to which I said that I didn't. After my order was placed, she noticed me staring at the wall specials and getting really excited when I saw there was paella. She asked if I wanted to see it and of course I said that I did. It just looked soooooo good!

Moving on to the chicken, this place is a grab and go kinda joint. No eating in.

They sauce their chicken after cutting it in some magical mix and then sell extra sauce for .25 cents.

After getting home and opening up the food, I came to the realization that this place has, by far, THE BEST Portuguese chicken I have ever had in the GTA. It was so flavourful and tender. I'm absolutely putting this place down in the 'worth the drive to....' list!

I'm really looking forward to trying their paella (made on the...

Food - I have been going here since I was in High School, over 10+ years ago. This place has staying power, and the reason is because of its food and fantastic prices. They offer chicken, with rice and potatoes, which I always get. I appreciate they offer two types spicy and non-spicy. It is savoury, yummy, and filling. I always come back once in a while, and the quality is always the same.

Service: The owner is often there, and it's family-owned. They are always sweet, quick, and professional. I also low-key love when they call me hun.

Ambience: There is no seating. It's meant for takeout. However, I do love the touches of the family.

Accessible - There is accessible parking. Getting in you is a tight fit, but not bad.

Overall, it is a true hole-in-the-wall gem in Vaughan. Right across from Wonderland, it won't disappoint. They also aren't...
