La Salsa Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Enid

I'm from California where there is a Mexican Fire Grilled Chicken restaurant on every corner (just about), called El Pollo Loco. Delicious chicken! Since moving to OK four years ago, I haven't had Mexican Fire Grilled Chicken, nor found a restaurant that served it. Enter Pollo Alteno in Enid, OK.

We drove passed it many times, then one day it hit me; let's try it! Maybe it'll be what I've been missing!

The parking lot was fairly full as it was just before lunch, but we found a table easily. The restaurant is a just a little small, so try to get there before the rushes if possible. The menu is packed with yummy Mexican dishes, but my heart and tummy was set on fire grilled chicken. I ordered the 3 piece white meat plate with double beans, hubby ordered a chicken quesadilla.

HEAVEN!! This was what I'd been missing for 4 years! The meat was moist and tender, the skin gloriously crispy and "fire" tasting. Goodness, it was SO GOOD! Their beans were authentically tasty (have you ever noticed a lot of Mexican restaurants beans taste weird or bland? Not here!!)

Hubby liked his chicken quesadilla too. In fact, he liked it so much, HE suggested we go there a couple of weeks later. THAT rarely happens! My tummy was up for it, but sadly, my chicken was kinda dry this 2nd visit. But that happens, I'm not giving up on Pollo Alteno at all.

The prices are fair, the salsa is good, the decor is pretty sweet. My grandson was enamoured of their Dia de los Muertos skull picture (it was a colorful pic, not scary at all).

I hope you try this place, we'll def be back for...

I ordered 2 bacon, egg, potato, bean and cheese burritos to-go. I get there to find out the price for these 2 burritos were $17.43, which sort of amazed me considering I’ve been to a lot of different places that sale burritos, but never once I’ve had to pay almost $20 for 2 burritos. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I paid and went on my way. I was expecting something amazing, but was completely disappointed in every aspect of this burrito. The bacon wasn’t cooked to a crisp, not even close, still spongy and had to be picked out. The value of this burrito definitely wasn’t worth the amount paid. I’ll have to continue searching for a decent burrito place here in Enid, OK. If anyone that reads this knows of one,...

Maria and her family have a wonderful place here. This is a small family restaurant that offers authentic Mexican food cooked with love. You will not find better food or service anywhere else in Enid. The gorditas, tacos, tamales, posole, caldo de res, tortas, quesadillas, flautas and everything else we have tried have all been freshly made and amazing! The tortillas are made fresh as well as all the salsas she offers. There are different specials everyday in addition to her regular menu.
