Pollo Bravo Express — Restaurant in Texas

deceptively benign name for an explosively delicious menu disguised in a typical looking place. nothing stood out for me and i'd not only never heard of it but never wanted to try. until i literally walked in here, luckily, out of curiosity; a hidden gem indeed. ironic bc the adapted style is very peruvian by its description: 'hybrid peruvian-mexican'. peruvian is a hyper-hybrid-mixed bag of various culinary greats like china, japan, spain, african & incan and has the geographic diversity to pull it off as they have virtually any ingredient available. so i was excited to see their menu, but...

had plenty of trouble with their menu since their website link on google was bad and no menu on yelp, but i fixed that with posted pics once i was finally i was able to see their menu inside!! there's some 3rd party menu online but i don't trust those bc they're often wrong or from another location so i always look for an authentic pic taken from customers of an in-store menu. for example, they didn't even have alfajores here even tho it says they do on that 3rd party site. but anyways i was immediately sold on chilaquiles. yes very mexican but again hybrid peruvian had me wondering about the green sauce as peru is known for their chile sauces smothering things. things such as their amazing peruvian rotisserie chicken. so tender, juicy, crispy crust. perfect with the cut up corn tortillas & then there was plenty of queso fresco cheese and that subtle pungent spice of red onion to finish it off, all in that fabulous green sauce that wasn't very spicy. reminiscent of ceviche actually, the national dish, only mexican version minus the fish! yet also kind of breakfast-like too. indeed hybrid. the taquitos were very tasty too, as you can see (and imagine) in my pic. i should've had tostones too but their menu says green plantain & sweet plantain, not tostones like the word i'm familiar with, so i assumed it wasn't tostones, but i checked on the way out with an employee and confirmed the green plantains are in fact tostones. so...got the menu frustrations sorted, very impressed with the food, obviously will...

Our recent dining experience at Pollo Bravo was far from satisfactory. As a party of five, we were disappointed right from the start. Upon arrival, no one greeted us, and we had to seat ourselves. When the server finally approached, he only provided us with two menus, stating that he only had those available when we requested more.

After placing our order, the service continued to decline. Once we received our food, the server never returned to check on us or refill our drinks. This level of inattentiveness was unacceptable.

As for the food, it was merely average and did not justify the high prices. Overall, the lack of service and the mediocre quality of the food left us very dissatisfied with our visit. We hope the management takes these issues seriously and makes the necessary...

This is the other restaurant I frequent when I am in the mood for some mouth watering Peruvian style chicken with fried plantains. The chicken had the right amount of seasoning, flavor, and not too dry. With the chicken I had a side of black beans and rice. Both were delicious. Unfortunately, I am no culinary master that can tell you everything about the dish and how it tastes. I am just your average hungry man that likes the food and enjoys every bite. I hope that helps you out in whether to stop here and...
