Delicioso Pollo! This chicken is charcoal style on the spot I usually call ahead and place my order especially on weekends. Â Everything is delicious the salsa, rice, beans, grilled scallions.. Yummie you can't go wrong. Â For those watching your weight make a salad verse the rice and beans :)
Review Source:The best way to describe this place: The chicken is good... not great. Timing is everthing here. If you arrive and they are just taking the birds off the charcoal grill, they are moist and flavorful. If they are in the holding pattern and waiting to be sold...not so much! This is relevant as well to the pre packaged rice, beans etc, always in the holding pattern!
The aroma of the grilled chicken from the exhaust fan as you arrive in the parking lot is incredible, and worthy of 5 stars alone!
Don't get me wrong, that chicken is AWESOME! But the accompaniments are...how do I say this nicely...not. I tried their newest location on Lake Street in Melrose Park and I was so happy to finally find a good chicken place that served juicy, crispy, delicious bird. I was just disappointed by the beans, rice, salsa, and tortillas. Let me just briefly say this: hard and flavorless rice, boring beans, salt and garlic-less salsa, and dry, gray (although house made) tortillas. The service was fast and good, the restaurant was fairly clean, I just didn't like that the chicken's succulence was knocked down a peg because of bad friends, nah-I'm-sayin'?
Review Source:When the company I work for acquired a large property in downtown Aurora, my reaction was, sweet an excuse to eat at all those authentic tacorillas. Â I was not disappointed. Â The outside looked the part. Â Nothing fancy, just some sign's advertising their menu. Â I got five tacos and they where delicious. Â Lengua, and El Pastor! Â Tender meet and perfect small corn tortillas. Â Great salsas to add to the tacos. Â I have to go back here to sample more of the menu, but my first experience was brief and wonderful.
Review Source:All I really have to say is YES. Yes please, yes now, yes more, yes wheel me home! The chicken is great. The smell will make you hungry 30 minutes after a big meal. There really is only a couple choices... chicken quesadilla, chicken nachos, half a chicken or a whole chicken. Get the chicken! The salsa is made fresh and delicious. The price is reasonable... about $7.50 for a half chicken with tortillas, salsa, beans, and rice. You will be full! Don't be chicken, go to this place!
Review Source:The smell of the charcoal chicken is heavenly. Â This location is definitely more of a take out place, there are only 3 tables, so be prepared to take it to go. I went with my kiddies cause we were in the area and as soon as we opened the door---we were salivating! Â Not gonna lie the location does look a little sketchy cause it's in a strip mall, definitely a local type of place--theres nothing else really around the strip mall area.
We ordered the whole chicken with all the fixins'--it included rice, beans, corn tortillas, salsa, roasted jalepenos and onions, and a side salad (the #4). Â The salsa was fresh and had a little kick to it--definitely complimented the chicken very well. The salad itself was nothing to get excited over--but the pickled red onions that were on top of the salad were excellent with the chicken. Â I thought the rice alone was on the bland side--but with the beans was great. The beans are whole and in a type of thicker gravy sauce--very tasty.
Would definitely eat there again. Hooray for awesome chicken!!! Â The best way I can describe this is like being at the lake near montrose harbor in the summer time grilling away with the family and friends. Yum.
Really good grilled chicken at El Pollo Giro! Go hungry, there are basically two dish sizes to choose from, half or a whole. I ordered a half, it came with beans, rice, some tortilla and a cup of fresh salsa. The chicken was grilled to perfection and really juicy. The rice on the other hand was a bit dry.
