" I've been coming to El Pollo Rico for years. The chicken is always flavorful and juicy, plus they have fantastic sides. The only concern for me is the speed of service. Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting a while, especially during peak times. Could use some improvement there, but honestly, it’s still my favorite spot for grilled chicken. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience going to El Pollo Rico lately. The chicken was on point as always; juicy and flavorful. However, I found the prices creeping up while the portion sizes have remained steady. It left me feeling a bit underwhelmed, especially when I'm paying more for the same food. Reasonable but could be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered this hidden gem and immediately fell in love with the food. Their chicken quesadilla is one of the best I've ever had—perfectly grilled and stuffed with juicy chicken. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it a great place to relax. I’ll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! The charcoal grilled chicken is flavorful, and I love the variety in the salsa bar. The atmosphere is welcoming, though I had a bit of a wait during lunch hours. Overall, I think it's worth it for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. Just make sure to ask for extra tortillas; you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my third visit, and while the chicken is still excellent, I have to raise concerns about cleanliness. Noticed some messy areas and tables were sticky. It just didn't sit well with me. But if you can look past that, the food is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I gave this place another shot after hearing good things. This time, I felt a lot more welcomed by the staff. The chicken was just as delicious as I remembered, but the wait times were longer this visit. Still, the food makes it worthwhile. I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I were drawn in by the bright signage outside, and boy were we pleased! The ambience is fun and energetic. The chicken is grilled to perfection, and I loved the selection of refreshing salsas. It’s a perfect spot for casual dining with a group. I am absolutely coming back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
