Absolutely amazing place, I ordered the 1/4 with 2 sides, I got all bean. The chicken was outstanding and the beans were superb. The way you order your meal is speaking into a mic and is very unique I love it! If you pass by an El pollo Rico you will be satisfied ...

It's our families Wednesday night meal . We have this and watch a movie together. We always get the fries and Cole slaw with the whole chicken. The green sauce is THE BEST if you like spicy. We mix it in the Cole slaw for the best spicy slaw you ever had !! And we dip our chicken in the spicy slaw too. Anyhow....they are always serving piping hot chickens and freshly fried fries !! Fast friendly service too.
