" The food was decent but left me wanting more. I liked the menu variety, but the execution on the main dishes fell flat. The chicken was alright; however, the fried rice felt undercooked. I think the restaurant needs more consistency to truly shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying their charbroiled chicken after hearing so much buzz about it. When I finally got my plate, I was met with beautifully grilled chicken that had an amazing caramelized skin. Every bite was packed with flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, too. The sides complemented the main dish just perfectly. Couldn’t ask for a more satisfying meal. It's refreshing to find a place that values authentically bold flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Gran Pollo was a delightful experience. The staff greeted us with smiles, which is always a good start. I ordered the half chicken with fried plantains, and while the chicken was tasty, it was slightly dry. However, the plantains were fantastic and really complemented my meal. Overall, it was a good experience and I would likely return to try more dishes. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Gran Pollo is a nice addition to the dining scene in Bel Air! The chicken was great, but I found most of the sides just average. The plantains were nice but could be crisper. The restaurant itself has a friendly atmosphere, but be aware that there might be mixing up orders when they’re busy. Overall, still a good spot worth trying if you're around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my latest visit. The chicken was not up to par, too dry for my liking. The fried rice had no flavor at all. It felt like I was eating cardboard instead of food. I think they need to work on their consistency as I've had much better meals here in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" It feels good to support a local restaurant that offers such wonderful flavors! The chicken was delightful, perfectly grilled and seasoned. I appreciate that the meats are fresh and have that distinct charbroiled flavor. Very inviting atmosphere and the pricing feels fair for what you get. This place is now on my regular dining list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a craving for something different, and El Gran Pollo did not disappoint! The chicken was incredibly juicy and well-seasoned, exactly what I was hoping for. The sides, especially the fried rice and pinto beans, paired perfectly with the meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it a great spot to hang out. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
