" My family and I visited Mezquite Pollo Express for the first time last week. I ordered the steak bowl, and my husband had the chicken. We were delighted by how fresh everything was! The only downside was that the service felt slightly chaotic with a few mistakes. But we absolutely loved the food quality and that’s what matters! We'll be back for more soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mezquite Pollo Express expecting authentic Mexican cuisine, and I was not let down! Their chicken is simply mouthwatering, and I loved the variety of fresh salsas. The staff was friendly but somewhat disorganized, which made ordering a bit challenging. However, the taste of the food made up for it. I will definitely return for more deliciousness!

" I have been searching for the most satisfying Mexican restaurant and I may have just found it with Mezquite Pollo! Their chicken is to die for, very juicy and perfectly smoked.

" I walked into Mezquite Pollo Express hoping for an amazing meal and left with mixed feelings. The chicken was indeed delicious, well-cooked with a lovely flavor. However, I encountered several problems with my order, and the staff didn't seem engaged at all. I get that it can be busy, but basic customer service shouldn't be compromised. I’d like to try again and hope for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give Mezquite Pollo Express a try after hearing numerous positive reviews. The chicken was superb—definitely one of the best I've had in the area! However, the service left something to be desired. The cashier was not very attentive and seemed more focused on their phone. I would still return for the food, though; it’s that good!

" After hearing great things from friends, I finally decided to visit Mezquite Pollo Express. The food was really everything everyone had claimed. The tacos were bursting with authentic flavors and the salsas were absolutely divine. I did have to wait a bit longer than I expected, but it was definitely worth it. I left satisfied and wondering why I hadn’t visited sooner. The place could use a little sprucing up decor-wise, but I’m all about the food here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at Mezquite Pollo Express recently. The food was typical of what I expected—good flavors—but the service was shockingly terrible. The woman at the counter was rude and dismissive, making the entire process uncomfortable. We ended up with the wrong order and had to wait longer for corrections. Such a disappointment for what was supposed to be a lovely family meal. I might give them another chance due to the decent food, but service like that is hard to overlook. " (*Curated Review*)
