El Pollo Rico — Restaurant in Austin

They offer some of the best tasting charcoal grilled chicken at such a competitive price! This is not like the bland rotisserie chicken you can get from the super market, along with the spice rub, the smokiness of this chicken will fill your nostrils with a south of the border flare.

It's pretty difficult to find something this tasty at such a low price point as well. From M-F you can come in and get a combo for under $9 which will come with half a chicken, a side of rice and beans, and a drink. That's more than enough food to satiate the hungriest of eaters.

With that said, this place gets a solid 5/5 in my book! They get the job done. No funny stuff. Check them out!! If you dine-in, don't have high expectations regarding the interior as it looks like a "hole...

This is just on the building itself… I did not eat food from here. I visited this location purely to pick up a delivery order. However the stench in the air as I waited ten minutes to pick up the order inspired me to review the location l. Not only was there an overwhelming odor of possibly swerve or bad meat on the air the place was filthy. Every table had food dirt and grime all over them. The floor was dirty and parts of the ceiling seemed to be overrun with mold. Not a place a would trust the food...
