" I’m hesitant to recommend El Pollo Rico based on my last visit. The food was decent, but nothing memorable. I had their chicken and found it rather bland compared to what I was led to expect. The decor and atmosphere fell flat for me – it felt a bit dated. Service was competent but could use a touch more warmth. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I left feeling underwhelmed and not particularly inclined to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my trip to El Pollo Rico. The chicken was well-cooked, but the seasoning left something to be desired. The ambiance was very casual, bordering on stuffy due to the tight seating. The staff was polite, but they struggled with the high volume of patrons. Perhaps I'll give it another try, as I’ve heard good things about their soups. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been at El Pollo Rico several times, and I keep coming back for the grilled chicken! It reminds me of the kind of food my family used to make back home. The side options, particularly the beans and rice, are tasty and go perfectly with the chicken. The service can be hit or miss depending on who’s on that day. If you're looking for authentic, hearty Mexican food, this is a great option. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at El Pollo Rico was just okay for me. I ordered the tacos, and while the ingredients were fresh, I expected more from the flavor. The sit-down area lacks any real charm and could use some updating. The service was decent enough – nothing stellar but not bad either. I feel like this place gets a lot of hype, but my meal didn't blow me away. I might return if my friends are going, but it won't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing grilled chicken! The smoky flavor was out of this world, and the portion size was bigger than I had anticipated. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. The side of beans was excellent, and I also appreciated the homemade red sauce. The atmosphere was casual and inviting. The only downside was the wait time since it was quite busy, but the staff worked hard to keep up. Would definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the service at El Pollo Rico despite the decent food. The sign outside says authentic, but the chicken was not as flavorful as I had hoped. The atmosphere is quite basic and could be more inviting. The staff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours and struggled to provide the level of service expected. I understand busy places can be tough, but I expected much more based on the reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Pollo Rico is a hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food! From their zesty chicken to the myriad of tacos, you can taste the love they put into their culinary creations. I’ve tried a few different items on the menu, and each time has been nothing less than delicious. The staff do their best to provide excellent service in a bustling environment. Yes, the place can get crowded, but that’s always a good sign of great food, right? " (*Curated Review*)
