" I showed up on a busy Saturday, and while I waited a bit, it was definitely worth it! The chicken was perfectly cooked, and my taste buds had a fiesta! I tried both the ranchero and chiltepin styles, and each had its unique flavor profile. The family feel of the restaurant made me want to come back for more, but I hope that they can improve on their service speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely leave reviews but I've got to say, Pollos El Junior is worth it! Their chicken is truly a star, and I loved the different flavor options. Plus, the staff was really friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the portion sizes; I thought they should consider increasing the sizes to match up with their pricing. That said, I'm happy to recommend this place to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about Pollos El Junior! The food is like a celebration of flavors. I had the ribs, which I over enjoyed, along with the chicken that was on point as well. Their spicy salsa complemented everything beautifully. The décor is laid-back, and the atmosphere is perfect for families. I felt right at home. Just go here already! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Pollos El Junior. While I had heard great things about their chicken, when I finally got to order, the service was extremely slow and the staff seemed overwhelmed. My chicken came out lukewarm, and it felt like they microwaved it rather than serving it fresh. I was really looking forward to their famous guacamole, but it didn’t have the kick I expected. I might stop by again, but I’ll have to manage my expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Pollos El Junior a few times now, and it's hard to find a reason to complain! The flavors are excellent and authentic. I really enjoyed my last meal of chiltepin chicken as it offered a wonderful spicy heat that didn't take away from the taste. However, I will say the waiting area can get cramped. It’s obvious that their food is wonderful, making it a favorite for many in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Pollos El Junior after hearing rave reviews, and I can say it exceeded my expectations! The ranchero chicken was juicy and bursting with flavor. The staff was so friendly; they recommended the chiltepin style, and I'm glad they did. It had a perfect amount of spice, but it didn't overpower the flavor of the chicken. The ambiance felt warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pollos El Junior is hands down the place for chicken in this city! After my first visit, I was officially hooked. Their chiltepin chicken is impressively spicy yet so flavorful! The amount of food you get makes it a good value. I also loved the environment; it was bustling but not too loud and had a nice family vibe. Highly recommend trying the ribs too; they were just perfect. " (*Curated Review*)
