POLLOS ASADOS LA FRONTERA — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

WoWzeRZ This place is the REAL DEAL!!! Not Tex-Mex joint We are talking REAL DEAL MEXICAN FOOD

Me and Wifey came here on a Wednesday afternoon for some chicken. We have been to Mexico plenty of times and while there we have been to these Chicken Carbone joints and they are usually pretty awesome. So I have to say our expectations were probably pretty high coming in. That being said we were overly impressed with this meal, it was really awesome.

The chicken was seasoned to perfection and juicy and delicious. The beans were some of the best we have had rice tasted great. If you combined the rice and beans (which I did) it definitely was a winning combo. 2 out of the 3 salsas were great. We both liked the orange one the best (I believe it was habanero), green salsa next and then the tomato based one was our least favorite not that it was bad but no heat and we both love our spice. But if you can't handle the heat the tomato salsa is the one for you. The meal also came with 10 tortillas that were excellent and I made 5 tacos out of the chicken myself.

The lady at the counter was very nice, the portion was perfect for the 2 of us. I would say half a chicken per person is the appropriate size unless you can eat a ton then maybe a whole chicken for you.

Not much for ambience it's a simple place with a few outdoor seats but honestly me and Wifey are all about the quality of the food so we didn't really care that it isn't a fancy joint. I will say I personally would prefer to eat there on a nice weather day or take it to go.

We were more than satisfied and definitely will be back more than once. I think this spot going to be in our regular rotation when we eat out. Thanks for the wonderful meal and see you...

The chicken in the pictures is not at all what I received. I asked for half a chicken meal and I got what appeared to be store bought rotisserie chicken, covered in red seasoning and microwaved to perfection. I asked for no beans and received a hefty portion of leftover rice. The onion and pepper were served cold. I've eaten there before with a friend of mine who is Hispanic and received a really good meal and so I figured I would return hoping to get the same service but was let down. The chicken was disgusting, but thank goodness they gave me a lemon to help squeeze it down. I don't believe in returning food because ... Whatever. Anyway, I hope your dining experience is better than mine. But I will say it's not worth the $9 plus the $1 tip I left for half a chicken and rice that...

Wellll what can I say , I cheated on Pollo Gavilan 🤭🙈 , I won't do that again... I'll just wait until Pollo Gavilan opens up to buy my Asada chicken lol... the atmosphere reminded me of my kid days when we went to go visit family in laredo. But the flavor of the chicken doesn't taste as if it was made on a bar b que pit. The fajitas were not Asadas enough of that makes sense 🙈. Flavor wasn't the same, and corn cup was super cold 😑 wouldn't recommend especially if it's your first time wanting some asada chicken just go to Pollo Gavilan now that's some...
