Pollo Amigo

This is a cool small place that serves really good chicken, rice and beans. You should come here before you ever go to El Pollo Loco if you want to get really good chicken. They are very friendly too and the meals are a great value.

This is the South Bays Best ‘hole in the wall’ chicken shack. You want good food? Pollo Amigo is the place to go. Forget the name brand chicken chains. Can you say Pollo Amigo

this place has THE BEST POLLO!!! i love it here! i got like 12 pieces of pollo with rice, beans & tortillas for just 15 $$ ! not expensive at all! if you want to eat some chicken go here! way better than pollo loco & kfc! thats why they deserve 5 stars!

were do i start? i went there today about 12:40p.m. picked up my to go order, i get to work open the plastic bag up and there is 2 fly’s in the plastic bag, luckily it was not in the container it self or i would be super P@#$$# OFF. 2^nd i opened the container and it looked like they shorted me on chicken, what they do is get a breast cut it in half and call it two pcs. 3^rd. i started eating the chicken the at first I’m thinking it had a ok flavor but then i actually started chewing, it was dry dry dry. I ate about ½ a pcs and my co-​worker ate another half a pcs but we could not eat it, it was just way to dry.
Now for what totally pissed me off, when i left the restaurant attempted to eat threw it away and went to put the recipt in the cash drawer so i can get reimbursed buy my job. the receipt says «no sale» that is the sign that they are either stealing from the company or they are not reporting income and not paying taxes so either way they are stealing. i will have a few choice word with the owner when i find out who own this company

I work around the corner So ive been here about 10 times– half of the times they give my order to someone else or just dont make it so Im stuck having to wait another 15 minutes for them to get the food right. Not bad food, not the greatest, decent prices.

Great chicken. Better than fair prices. Service is standard counter service. Not exceptionally nice, but very efficient. Beans and rice are good too. Tortillas are meh.

5.99 for a quarter chicken with rice and beans and tortillas
8.99 for a half
13.00 for a whole
Of course you can get a whole chicken at costco for 5 bucks and it will be cooked a lot better.
However the spices and seasonings they use is very good.
I just wish that they wouldn’t overcook the chicken.
I asked them for poco cocido but they only gave me the chickens that had already been cooked and they only needed about half the cooking time to be perfect.
All mexican places and most everywhere will overcook a chicken.
You can do better at home if you know what you are doing.
If you get lucky at this place when the chickens are cooking and they plump and not overdone I am sure it will be really good.
Unfortunately I wasn’t so lucky.

This is a hole in the wall. In my opinion, its hidden and it’s hard to spot while driving down Main st. And, if you did manage to see it, you would assume its closed. I wish this business had more exposure so the public can see it more noticeably.
The only reason I found this place was because my car was getting on oil change down the street and I went off on foot looking for a place to eat at.
I know their main product is chicken, however, I had a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, cheese, guacamole and salsa fresca. It was a fairly big size burrito but with a lot of soft spots around the middle section of the burrito. I hate it when you grab a burrito and it just squishes from the middle because it wasn’t filled up with enough stuff. It was pretty good and everything tasted fresh. It was too bad they didn’t have any green salsa so I had to settle for the red. The red salsa was OK, nothing great.
The customer service was nice and helpful. I did have a chance to talk to both owners about different things. Their good people.
I was highly surprised they accepted cards, that was a plus.

Fantastic Mexican style chicken for a great price. This is an authentic version of pollo loco.
There aren’t many choices on the menu– just chicken, rice and beans– but you can get a quarter chicken plate with a drink for about five bucks.
I wouldn’t recomend eating in– they don’t have the best ventilation system and only have a couple picnic tables to sit in. The décor isn’t the greatest and the place seems to cater mostly to the working class.
But, the chicken can’t be beat anywhere– it’s tasty, the salsa given is great, and the portions are generous.
