" If you’re looking for authentic tacos, this is the place! The carne asada tacos tasted just like the ones I had during my travels in Mexico. The service was friendly, and I loved how clean the dining area was. I think pricing could be better—it feels a bit high for a food truck, but the quality is worth it. I will certainly recommend it to others looking for good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews and, although the food was good, I felt it was slightly overrated. The chicken was tasty, but I've had better at other local spots. The service was decent but not particularly friendly, and the atmosphere was just okay. They need to work on their customer service to make the experience more inviting. I might give it another go, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I came in with such high hopes after reading the reviews, but my experience was just okay. The chicken was flavored well, but it was a bit dry. The staff was quick, but I could sense they were flustered during peak hours. I appreciated the sheer volume of choices on their menu, and the prices seem fair for what you get, but the overall experience didn't live up to the excitement I had built up. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to try El Pollo Feliz! Known for their amazing grilled chicken, it truly lives up to the hype. The meat is perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning, making every bite a savory delight. The staff is friendly and efficient, even when the line is long. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a great spot for a quick lunch. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the generous portions! Highly recommend the chicken bowl with salsa; you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! I’ve been all around Portland trying different taco places, but El Pollo Feliz is my new favorite. They really know how to grill chicken! The smoky flavor is on point, and I ordered a whole chicken to share with friends. It was incredibly juicy, paired beautifully with their salsa verde. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth every penny. Can’t wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy to find this spot! I had the chicken tacos and they were fantastic! The flavor was on point - you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The service was friendly and fast, too. I’m definitely returning; I want to try their tortilla chips and salsa next time. Great find! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pollo Feliz has become my go-to place for lunch! Their chicken burrito is a masterpiece, filled with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The staff is quick and friendly, making me feel welcome every time. It's great to eat at a place that feels authentic. I can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)
