Pollo Azado 2 — Restaurant in Grand Junction

Amazing service from José, very quick food, and fantastic, tasty chicken!

Backstory: my husband and I went on a hike in Palisade and planned to go to a winery with a food truck afterwards. We drove and got to one 10 minutes before closing. We bought a bottle of wine to drink with the food truck food but it turned out that the food truck was no longer serving people. We dejectedly drove towards home without doing our food truck Friday date. We were both annoyed that we bought a rather expensive bottle of wine but didn’t get to eat. In our hangry-ness, we decided to go to the chicken place really close to our house that we have just never been to.

We came in and José asked what we would like and we told him we’d never been there before. He had an immediate recommendation to do the half order with an extra side of beans and rice. It came within minutes! He was sure to tell not just us, but the other customers to grab some homemade salsa for the meal as well. A family was enjoying dinner and their baby spilled a ton of rice on the floor on accident. José insisted that he could clean it up, no problem, even after the parents offered to clean.

In October of 2025 we stayed at the nearby KOA. We decided to grab some authentic Mexican food. At the time we went there was only 3 chicken options on the menu. We where fine with that it seemd authentic. We ordered chicken enchilada plates, it came with rice and beans. Unfortunately the rice was hard and tasted like chemicals possibly liquid smoke, not shure. And the enchilada sauce and salsa had no flavor hardly at all. And the beans where basic with no flavor. I'm generally not a big foodie or much of a big flavor person I generally care less about food. But this was my first real disappointment I have experienced at a restaurant. Maybe we caught them on a bad day or at a bad time but this location is convenient for KOA and I wouldn't recommend it to other people traveling and...

A favorite taco joint when craving chicken. Although other options are available, their chicken has such a unique spice flavor profile. A help yourself sauce fridge is also available, and grab extra fire hot sauce. It’s not extremely overwhelming but has the best taste to accompany your roasted chicken. Always consistent and affordable high quality Mexican food,...
