" I’ve been coming to El Pollo Rico #4 for years, and each visit reminds me why. The chicken is succulent, and the green salsa is the best I’ve ever had! However, I did notice that the portions seem a bit smaller than they were before. Still, the flavor is worth it! I recommend trying the chicken flautas—they’re fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pollo Rico is definitely a treasure. Every visit has been a great one. From their flavorful chicken to their amazing green salsa, it's always a delight! My only concern is the inconsistency with dishes every now and then, but overall, I’d say it’s one of the better places for quick Mexican food around. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really appreciate the authenticity of the flavors—they make you feel welcome and at home. The service is friendly, but I’ve had some slow moments during peak hours. Regardless, I keep returning for the incredible grilled chicken and fresh sides! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit to this location. The chicken was excellent, but the rice tasted a little bland. The atmosphere felt welcoming; it’s a pleasant spot to grab a quick meal with friends. I’ll definitely come back for the chicken but will skip the rice next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pollo Rico is a staple for my family. We love their chicken and the variety of side options. The vibe is casual and friendly, perfect for family dinners. The only occasional downside is the portion sizes, as they can be a bit inconsistent. Otherwise, a fantastic choice any day of the week. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for an authentic Mexican experience, but sadly, the chicken was dry on one side. The atmosphere was decent, though, and the salsa helped to elevate the meal. I might give it another shot, but only if I’m in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was fantastic! The charcoal chicken was juicy and full of flavor, just how I like it. I was also pleased with the portions, as they left me feeling full without breaking the bank. However, I found the service to be a bit rushed, which affected my overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)
