Pollitos Authentic Grilled Chicken — Restaurant in Sierra Vista

First visit to Pollitos – hope they improve with time

I wanted to give Pollitos a try since it’s new here in Sierra Vista. I ordered a whole mesquite-grilled chicken with two sides, sauces, and three drinks — it came out to around $43.

The chicken had good potential but was a bit dry and not as flavorful as I expected. It also wasn’t served very hot. The rice and beans were okay, just small portions for the price. The hot sauce came in very tiny containers and I noticed they charge 50¢ for extras, which feels a bit much. The tortillas also seemed microwaved instead of warmed on a stove.

The place itself is new and clean, though there was a light smell when walking in — hopefully something they can fix soon. Overall, not a bad place, but I think they can definitely improve the flavor, portion sizes, and service details.

I’ll probably wait a while before coming back, but I hope they get things dialed in — Sierra Vista could really use a great grilled...

The main feature here is the tender, moist, fall-off-the-bone chicken, which is very, very good. As another reviewer said, Sierra Vista needs a place that serves good baked chicken other than Frys or Safeway.

For my taste, it could have been spiced or perhaps smoked. But that's just me. What you get is solely the flavor of a cooked chicken. We didn't get the beans.We just got the rice, which was perfectly fine.

I also picked up some of the chicken tacos which were truly outstanding. The young lady at the counter said, they're going to be adding more menu items. I would also think about adding something like coleslaw.

Regardless, my wife and I made a very satisfying meal from a whole chicken, with plenty left over.

We will be...

I am going to be as nice as possible because I know it's like day 2 of being open and this is the closest food to my house so I do really want it to work.

Service - great 👍 ladies are friendly and food came out very fast.

Food - Rice was just a scoop of mush. Did taste good though. Beans were a bit watery but did taste good. Chicken cooked well but I don't think any seasoning is used other than smoke. Salsa was great. Very good tortillas.

Price - a bit overpriced in my opinion but what isn't these days. Life is expensive. I get it.

Overall I mean it's chicken, beans, and rice. It is what it is. And it is edible.

I will try again soon and hope to see some...
