This was my first time trying El Pollo Rico. I had a craving for a baked potato so did a search and found their Papa Asada ($9.99) which comes with cheese, meat, sour cream and jalapeño. I ordered thru the drive thru and the attendant was nice. I also ordered a small chips and salsa ($3.19). There was 1 car ahead of me and I waited for only a minute. The ladies at the window were smiling and had a friendly demeanor. I had my poodle with me and they seemed to enjoy his presence. A little smile goes a long way with regard to customer service and weighs heavy when I’m reviewing. The potato was a little undercooked but not a deal breaker as it was very tasty. The beef was plentiful but dry to my taste which is why I gave it a 4 star. The chips and salsa were great and real crispy but the am

We love you Pollo Rico but it’s 2026 and you still have us signing receipts like it’s 1986. Come on guys… I just spent $10 on two tacos… you can afford a decent credit card merchant. But your food service and salsa is so excellent that we will keep signing receipts until we get carpal tunnel If that’s what it takes😂

I just love El Pollo Rico their food has always been very tasty 😋 When I drive up to the drive thru window the smell of the parrilla transports me back to my Abuelita house in México. I highly recommend this place for some great delicious Mexican fast food. 🫶

Ordered the Whole chicken meal for my family. Chicken is great! Very flavorful and tender! Kids loved it! Side of rice and beans are also great but portion size is a little small for a “family” meal! A little pricey for a whole chicken (compared to HEB rotisserie) BUT the flavor is unmatched! Used the drive thru and ordered and received food within 10 min!

Love this place, we always get a chicken and it’s delicious, smells incredibly, fresh, served with small sized hot tortillas, 2 types of salsa, beans, rice and grilled onion. Cheese Nachos are also very good. All the time we take away the food but I wish the place inside could be more clean and comfy! Fast and friendly spanish speaking service.
