El Pollo Tapatio

The grilled chicken is top notch. The chicken reminds me a lot of el Pollo Loco on the west coast but better. I don’t know what kind of seasoning they use but it’s delicious! Try the green salsa.

I love their blackened «al carbon» chicken. You can get a ½ chicken with beans and rice, with corn flour tortillas, grilled onions, and a big habanero pepper for $ 8.18 (plus tax). Also includes chips and salsa. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned.
Other items on the menu seemed pretty standard, but I don’t remember anything that stood out, other than they serve breakfast. Though the sign in the front window says they are open 9am to 9pm, (9:30am to 9pm on Mondays).
Canned soft drinks are $ 1.00 ea, so no free refills. Mexican bottled sodas are $ 1.50. I probably should have asked for a free glass of ice water too, as one can of soda was not quite enough to wash everything down.
Men’s room was noticeably cleaner than average for Mexican restaurants. There was tp, hand-​soap, and a dispenser of paper-​towels.
Ambience is okay,… good for a strip-​mall. Clean dining area too. Two TV’s were tuned to a Spanish language channel.
The waitress speaks English well.
I was there for an early dinner, and there were only 3 other customers.
