" I took my family to El Pollo Fino since we were in the area. Honestly, I expected more based on all the hype around it. The chicken was pleasing and had some good flavor, but it was nothing too special. I noticed the service was not as friendly either, as the cashiers didn’t engage much or respond to my greeting. My biggest pet peeve was how crowded the space was and cleanliness seemed to take a backseat with so many tables left unclean. I might try it again someday, but only if I am in the area and looking for a quick meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently tried El Pollo Fino for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! The grilled chicken was tender and well-seasoned. Made sure to have their homemade tortillas on the side, which paired perfectly. The staff members were friendly, but the service could have been a bit faster. The atmosphere was cozy even if a bit cramped. I’m happy I ventured out to try this place, and I’ll certainly be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pollo Fino has been around forever - a real gem! I went with my family last week and we decided to get the family style chicken meal. Not only was the chicken insatiably delicious, but the portions were generous – perfect for sharing. Even their sides like rice and beans were flavorful! However, I did notice, as a vegetarian, options are a bit limited. The ambiance was a little dated but charming in its own right. Staff could be more attentive. We'll be back for sure, just perhaps with a bigger group! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants around, and El Pollo Fino stands out for its authenticity! The grilled chicken has great seasoning, and the tacos de carne asada are to die for! I also appreciate their commitment to using fresh ingredients. The staff was welcoming which added to the overall great experience. I had a slight mix-up with my order but they quickly resolved it. The ambiance isn’t fancy, but that’s not what I come for. Highly recommend for an authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading so many rave reviews, I finally decided to check out El Pollo Fino. I went with a couple of friends, each of us ordering the famed pollo asado. I must say, it didn’t disappoint! The flavor was delightful, and I could taste the authenticity in every bite. Sadly, the service was a bit slow because they were busy, but we were okay with that since we were catching up. I would recommend going during off-peak hours so you can enjoy it more peacefully. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Well, I visited El Pollo Fino on a rather busy Saturday morning and the food was good, but I had a bit of a mixed experience overall. While the chicken was flavorful and tender, I found my service experience less than stellar. The team seemed overwhelmed and I waited longer than expected to place my order. I witnessed them handling the food but their kitchen looked chaotic. I had some hesitations about cleanliness as I noticed some mess left at the tables. Nevertheless, the flavors kept me coming back. I believe they need to focus a bit more on both service efficiency and cleanliness for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried El Pollo Fino after a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did. The chicken was tender and juicy. I especially loved their salsa; it had the perfect amount of kick! The service was decent, but the seating area felt cramped with little room to maneuver. Though it would be nice to have a bit more space, the food impressed me, so I plan to return.
