" I recently visited Pollo Dorado with my family and we were all thoroughly impressed with the food. We tried the huevos con chorizo, and they were splendid! The flavors reminded me of my grandmother's cooking back in El Salvador. The portions were generous, and I appreciate how they offered to customize our meals to suit our tastes. The atmosphere was authentic and homey, making us feel right at home. It'll definitely be a place we come back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the worst experience at Pollo Dorado. The service was chaotic; we waited over an hour for our food, and when it arrived, it was cold. I ordered the churrasco and couldn't even finish it due to the poor preparation. The staff were friendly, but the overall disorganization ruined our night. I might give it another shot someday, hoping that they can improve their systems, but as for now, I'm disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I never expected to find such authentic Salvadoran flavors so close to home! The tamales were made perfectly, and the casa de pollo was delicious too. However, I noticed the servers seemed a bit unprepared during lunch rushes. The wait for our food was longer than expected, but the taste made it worthwhile. I believe that with better management during peak hours, Pollo Dorado could be even more successful. Overall, I highly recommend trying their authentic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pollo Dorado is pretty decent if you want authentic Salvadoran cuisine. I went there recently and ordered the pupusas. While they were good, I've had better from other places. The service was friendly, but slightly on the slower side. It was busy during lunchtime, which may explain that. Still, the cozy feel of the restaurant made up for it. I would love to give it another try, maybe during less busy hours to see if the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing experience at Pollo Dorado! Both the food and service exceeded my expectations. I went for a family dinner and ordered a wide variety of dishes, including their famous sopa de mariscos. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. The server was attentive and friendly, making great recommendations. The ambiance was warm and inviting. This has become one of our favorite restaurants for trying authentic Salvadoran and Latin dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
