I wish i could give this place zero stars! This place used to be good but now its the worst ever! Don't waste your money buying food here! It's overpriced and the chicken is soo salty and dry! The sauce are really bad also. The white one tastes straight like mayonnaise and the green has no flavor tastes just like salt and green pepper and they charge you 50 cents per each additional. The yuca was also very dry and tasted like frozen yuca. The cashier is also very rude!. Never returning to this place. I wont be surprised when they go out of business. I always thought they marinated the chicken fresh at the spot! but no!!! i saw they took like 25 frozen ones from the freezer already marinated!!

Towards the end of my brother’s meal, he found this cooked spider attached to the bottom of his chicken. We have been here a couple times now and we were confused as to what this was, and we took it out and realized what it was. We called and requested a refund but the lady just kind of laughed on the phone call and said that they do not do refunds if we have left the restaurant already, and that we need to bring the chicken over for them to examine it and to provide us with a new chicken. The entire chicken was mostly ate when we found this. The last thing we want is a new chicken from there after seeing this. This place was one of my fav chicken places but will not be coming back after this.

I want to review this place for the price; I don't know how this place has almost five stars when the food here is over expensive, and the portions to price don't match at all. The first time I went there and the tres leches cost $4.50, for a tiny bit that could cost $2.50. For the sauce, they don't even give you enough, and I'm talking about two green sauce and one white sauce for a one-half portion of chicken, and if you need more, it cost you I believe $0.25 and I'm okay by paying for it, but a least put two to start not just one and the drinks are also overpriced $3.50 per drink? Yeah, definitely not coming back here; they're probably trying to make up for what they have lost in the past.

I was craving some Peruvian chicken. We found this place near our new home. We walk in excited ready to make this our go to place. We stand in front of the cashier looking to order. No words no eye contact nothing. Then we see the person who just came through the door and they immediately start taking her order. Finally the guy says if you need to order go behind her! What the heck?! Why didn’t he tell me that. So I go annoyed but I didn’t say anything and waited where you are supposed to order and what happens they stare at me weird and decide to not acknowledge me. What’s going on here I don’t deserve this I have not started off bad or did anything wrong for such rude treatment. So I took my daughter else where where they actually want my money. Needless to say I didn’t even taste their food because they don’t care about customers here or have any clue about...

Fantastic chicken, the flavor is something unique that I have never had. Also the fried yuca are delicious. Mix the green sauce (essentially puree'd jalepenos) and the white sauce (some kind of flavored mayonaise) and you have a perfect dip for your fries or yuca, because the chicken doesn't need it.

I am from Texas and I consider myself an expert on grilled, smoked and rotisserie meats. I make the best chicken I have ever had by marinating it then smoking it over mesquite for about 12 hours.... no more, El Pollo Rico has me beat.

This location was fast and clean; it had none of the epic lines I have heard about at the Arlington location. To the person about credit cards: it's not that unusual for small family owned businesses, however I don't seem to remember them not taking credit cards... I think I will drive the 50 miles for lunch and investigate this for...

First time at El Pollo Rico today 4/25/2021. I never eat at restaurant except for special events. And this place is UNIQUELY clean, fast wit QUALITY (NOT fast foods type) AND very welcoming (con la gente bonita). Yes, beautiful people and good foods. I ordered. half chicken with cassava and a friend of mine had the same with fries. Seasoning was EXCELLENT. salt perfect healthy level. Friday, I was at chick fillet and ordered. Kid menu (8 count nuggets and wafel fries so salty and you wonder how kids grow up from tastless health feeding to end up with excessive salt habits in "kid" menu UNNECESSARY salty like aldults?!!! AND all health issues. Go to El Pollo Rico, it's clean, healthier. Salty wise and not heavy or greasy PROVIDING yo care for good foods eating with moderation...
