" This is one of the best spots for pollo al carbón! The chicken has a beautiful char and is very juicy. They also give you fresh tortillas, which really complements the meal. I always get a side of their grilled veggies — they are tasty! The service is pretty fast, and the staff typically friendly. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food is good, I've had some issues with their service. My last visit left me waiting too long for my order. The chicken was good when it finally arrived, but the sides felt a bit skimpy. I want to love El Pollo Giro because the flavors are there, but the inconsistency in service makes it difficult. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a quick and delicious meal, El Pollo Giro is the place to go! The grilled chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sides like beans and rice complement it perfectly. I love that it reminds me of authentic Mexican flavor. Service is generally quick, and the atmosphere is nice for a take-out spot. I definitely recommend trying their salsa too! " (*Curated Review*)

" If I could give this place ten stars, I would! The absolutely unbelievable smoky flavor of the chicken kept me coming back every week. The portion sizes are perfect, and their prices are great too considering the quality. Just don't expect to sit down for an upscale dinner, this is primarily take-out. But that’s what I love about it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to El Pollo Giro was delightful! I went for lunch and the ambience felt inviting even though it's quite small. My chicken was perfectly cooked with a bit of crispy skin that I love! The service was quick and despite it being busy, the staff was attentive. Would happily return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I walked in, I was welcomed by the enticing aroma of grilled chicken! I ordered a half chicken with rice and beans. While the chicken was juicy, I feel the rice was lacking flavor. The service was decent but did take a bit longer than expected. Still, I think it’s worth coming back to try other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally visited El Pollo Giro after hearing so much about it, and it lived up to the hype! The chicken is addictively good. However, two staff members were a bit brusque with their service, which was unexpected. Overall still a great food experience. " (*Curated Review*)
