This is my favorite chicken chain! I've been coming here for years and I still get the urge to do the chicken dance after every experience! From combo meals, family packs, and catering meals, they do it all. I shouldn't namedrop but this is way better than that other similar chicken chain *cough* Pollo Loco *cough*.
Big difference between the chicken here and at Pollo Loco is the way they're cooked. At Pollo Loco it's grilled which makes the meat charred and dry. Here it's roasted in a rotiserrie which allows the chicken to have a nice flavor on the outside while also being juicy inside. They do have a less variety of sides: rice, beans, potato salad, and corn. Though limited, this means they do those sides extremely well. I could eat a whole tub of rice or potato salad if I wanted to! There is only two salsas , spicy and non-spicy pico de gallo. They're good but a bit too watery for me.
Looking for healthy Mexican-style chicken that isn't fake and gross-looking? Give this chain a chance! You have to be a crazy chicken not to!
Had a chicken burrito. Flavorless  Got several bites with grissle instead of meat. Salsa was fresh but super watery. Was told burrito comes w lettuce but mine didn't.  You can get a tasteless factory produced whole chicken for $8 or a tasty free range "yardbird" from whole foods for $12.  I suppose it is better than Taco Bell since it is not loaded with MSG. It does look like a dump inside but it is in the middle of a wasteland.
Review Source:sooooo I'm n love wit a lil place called Juan freakin pollo. I'm onli ratin their rice, beans and papas. I love their papas sooo much. when I go to my boyfriends house and when his mom makes her potatoe salad I'm lovin it fo reals. But sadly she don't make it often. My mom tells us to get rice, beans and papas for dinner to go wit our chicken. When we get home and eat it I'm like its probably gonna b watever, but I dip my fork in tat stuffed 4 oz tub and I was n heaven it taste just like my boyfriends moms. When u go here and get their rice beans and papas they pack it like so tat there is lil air room which is a good thing. So if u come here u will deffinetly get o
Ur moneys worth. O I'm onli reviewin the beans rice and papas nothin else. Have not had their chicken yet.
I eat here probably 2-3 times per month. Why? Well, for a $1.75 I get a lunch. Lunch for under $2! Yep. Two hard-shell tacos w/ salsa is $1.75! It's not a ton of food, but it keeps me around 500 kcals which matches up with my diet. If I'm hungrier there are many other options including three soft tacos for about $3. Of course you can go off and get chicken, tortillas, beans, potato salad, etc.
When my wife and I have people over and we want to get something tasty without breaking the bank, it's Juan Pollo. You can get two chickens, tortillas, salsa, etc. all for around $15. Rotisserie chicken is great and this is a SoCal staple.
Chicken was very moist but lacking much flavor. Â The crispy skin was OK but a bit too much of a fried flavor to me. Â The rice was not good and the salsa was mediocre. Â Also, they don't provide knives, so you have to eat your chicken with a spork. Â I prefer El Pollo Loco to this place
Review Source:Rowena D is brilliant, or she's channeling my pedestrian tastes and adding her brilliance to them.
Juan Pollo sits like a little piece of coal in a big pile of coal (massage parlors, discount auto repair and vacant lots are the high points - but it goes downhill from there) with really nothing to recommend it. I have no idea why I walked in there, can't explain why I ordered, and still don't understand how I stayed to eat. But, once eating...
The smell will grab you and the taste will take you home. This is the best roasted chicken in SoCal and some of the best fast food potato salad anywhere.
Issues: location sucks, interior sucks only a bit less and rice could be a lot better.
It looks ghetto from the outside.
It looks ghetto from the inside.
It has ghetto employees.
It is in the ghetto. Represent.
BUT...
It's the BEST rotisserie chicken and potato salad (Mexican style) you'll ever have in this life. I kid you not. Order the lunch special with rice, potato salad, and flour tortillas. It'll rock your world.
