" Unfortunately, my visit didn’t live up to the hype. The chicken tasted overcooked and my sides were very bland. Service was a bit lacking in attentiveness. I’ll give it another shot because it had potential, but it needs improvement across the board. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best chicken in town! I can't recommend El Gran Pollo highly enough. The portions are generous and the flavors are spot on. I especially loved the fried rice that came with my meal! The staff are always cheerful and ready to assist you. Every visit has been a treat both for my taste buds and my wallet. I will be coming here more often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic! I discovered this gem recently. Everything on the menu looked appetizing, so I ordered the chicken burrito bowl and wasn’t disappointed. It was filled with plenty of chicken, rice, and beans. The mix was perfectly balanced. The ambiance was charming and suited for family outings. With great food comes great service, and they surely delivered in that aspect as well. I will be coming back soon to try their wings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to this spot opening, considering it offers Peruvian-style chicken, which I adore. However, my visits have been hit and miss. On my last visit, the chicken was overcooked and dry, which was disappointing. The plantains were undercooked, and the fried rice lacked the flavors I expected. The friendly staff tried their best, but I think they need more experience to handle busy rushes effectively. It was frustrating that a lot of the sauces were also flavorless. I hope this place improves because the potential is there. Right now, I may have to keep driving to find better options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, this place is a must-visit! The chicken is incredibly tasty, and my favorite part is the unique variety of salsas they offer. I've come here more than I can count, and I've never had a bad meal. My kids love the tacos as well. Equality of service is another reason I come back. Highly recommended! " (*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*)
