Based on the average evaluation of 4.2, the El Pollo Rico is definitely worth a visit.

What Marco Salinas likes about El Pollo Rico:
The 1/2 chicken plate with rice and beans made for a tasty meal. The chicken was well-seasoned, the rice and beans were good, and the salsas were delish. My only gripe was that the breast was a bit dry/leathery. That usually isn 't the case so I wrote it off as luck of the draw . Good spot for a quick, inexpensive meal. View all feedback.

What Jonathan Bonnette doesn't like about El Pollo Rico:
I can get more for my money at Chili's and get a fajita plate with beef for the price that they charge. Chickens only 99 cents a pound at the store. They've raised their prices $30 plus percent in one year. This is my way of protesting not buying anything and leaving. I can afford it but I'm not paying it because they're trying to cater to the wrong crowd. I don't know any Mexican families or Hispanic families I thin... View all feedback.

Wrong drink, no tortilla, and they never answer the phone. Go somewhere else!

"Be very careful of this place they have crackheads working there as first-hand knowledge that I saw this man was picking up his scabs while making the pizzas. They also have teenagers asking what meth feels like in front of other customers. It’s unfortunate because the pizza is pretty tasty, but the management is terrible although it seems as though it’s a corporation, it is franchise, so no matter what you say nothing changes and it goes right back to that boss who owns that same store no accountability ."

"We heard about this place and my husband picked it up for dinner tonight. We got the chicken Shawarma plate and the meat Gyro plate and it was absolutely delicious. The hummus was very fresh and the pita bread was fresh and homemade and it was just heavenly. We loved it!!"
