Pollo Asado

This place is amazballs. We call it the "chickin shack" on Cerillos road. It's a permanent little one/two man shack in the parking lot of the topless strip club on Cerillos road, you can't miss it. LOL The owner BBQ's the chicken out back his little humpy "chikin shack" you will see his van parked next to it filled to the top with charcoal. He just hangs out there all weekend barbecuing the most incredible freakin chicken you ever had this side of the Mexican border. Get there early or he will run out! One weekend he ran out of the beans & we had to get double rice. Durt durt durrrrrr, apocalyptic tragedy. GET THERE EARLY !!! You have been warned. You must get the BEANS!!! Omg :)...We have had the tacos, burritos, half & whole chickens. All of it is 2.die.4! The burritos are YUGE! Warm flour tortillas stuffed with that smokey BBQ Asado chicken, melted cheese & veggies, Hubby can not even finish one. Makes great leftover too. YUM! :)' I like the tacos better bc they are loaded with the succulent chicken & then topped with super fresh lettuce, tomato & fresh Oaxaca cheese on corn tortillas YUM! :)...Everything comes with the most incredible smokey, lardy, beans, real Mexican style rice cooked with chicken bone stock & Chiles Toreados (fried whole jalapeño) AKA "chili Toreado just say no" as hubby says, bc it's devils dungeon degrees hot. If you do not like spicy do not attempt the Chile's Toreados. Speaking of spicy, if you want some spicy salsa to go with it, ask him to give you some of his spicy chili sauce on the side for dipping. Holy baby Jesus is that stuff HOT & HEAVENLY !!! Very smokey red chili sauce with a KICK! Amazing smokey salsa! I LOVE IT! :)...The sides & sauces are just as amazballs as the chicken! The whole & half chicken comes with all the same sides with corn tortillas. Prices are listed on the menu. You def want to take some extra home with you! There are no tables or chairs or nothing. It's to go only. CASH only. You can walk up or call your order in & go pick it up. It comes pipin HOT fresh made, we can't even leave the parking lot b4 we start cramming it in our pie holes! Lol If you dig pollo Asado your going to LOVE this little chikin shack. This dude & his homies are seriously makin some authentic Mexico-Magico BBQ up in this joint & dishin out some super fresh flavor packed yummy sides & sauces made with professional Chef flair. YUGE. FANS. HERE. We don't usually eat in the titty bar parking lot, or any parking lot for that matter, but for this chikin, for those BEANS, for THAT sauce?! Make tracks for the strip joint "chikin shack" with CASH. IN. HAND. Make. It. RAIN. Highly recommend.

This was exactly the same as we remembered. Delicious grilled chicken take-out. We had to track Pollo Asado down because they have moved since we were there the last time.The chicken is well seasoned and well grilled. It has some blackening to add to the flavor. It is not dried out in the breast and it tastes as good as it smells. I was really curious to see out it was the second time. I thought perhaps I had elevated it in my mind to something it could not live up to. But it lived up to my memory.You get 1/2 of a chicken for $11 and that easily feeds the two of us. In fact we did not eat it all. They provide good lardy beans and normal home cooked, real rice. You also get a chile torreado and corn tortillas as well as some spicy red chile salsa.I love this place and this food.

Best Chicken you ever had. Large portions, great prices and pleasant service. If you are thinking about "what's for dinner " definitely take out from Pollo Asado.

Chicken hasn't been as good on the past 2 or 3 visits. Something recently changed in the preparation. The chicken hasn't been as juicy and the skin not as crisp.

Rarely there are times when I bite into food and all the flavor explodes in just one bite that I become an instant fan. Wow! Talk about roll-your-eyes back good. The chicken was amazing.The beans and rice are OK. Both could use a little more flavor but they're OK.I've only tried the half chicken dinner meal. Trust me, it's a large portion that two people can share.Enjoy!

We had been on the road for a week and was really hungry for some good food for our last night when we spied the reviews on Pollo Asado. We had just passed this place and It was near our motel. Another review had said that the half chicken was more than enough for two and he was correct. I ask my husband to go and get it. It was probably the best chicken I've ever eaten. The plate also included rice and beans, a jalapeño, corn tortillas, and a tortilla with cheese in it. We had about half of the food left over. All this for $10. Delicious!

Check your containers of watery Beans, Rice and Salsa. They only fill them half way. Seems this place is getting cheaper and cheaper

Cash only food truck with a limited but excellent product. They specialize in chicken and they do it very well. I had to wait 25 min because they were cooking more chicken. That's as freshly cooked as it gets. It appears they spatchcock the chickens which is why it's cooked so evenly. 4 stars because the breast was a bit dry. Dark meat was juicy. Flavor great and not overly seasoned. I might have liked a little more but that would have made it more salty I'm sure. Minor quibble. The accompanying rice and beans were tasty as well. I've included a photo of the menu with a slight price increase over time. Still an excellent product for the money.

Grilled chicken. Devine. Do not miss it. Get a whole bird. You won't be sorry. Cerillos Rd.

Seriously. The best chicken!!!!!! It's a little food truck/ shack in a interesting parking lot. The flavor is unbelievable and it is cooked very well. I got the whole chicken combo which will be feeding me for days. It also comes with the most amazing refried beans, rice, as well as pickled onions and tortillas. Oh and a hot sauce that is no joke and a little mini quesadilla. Already I can't wait to go back. They are open 10-6 or until they run out of chicken.
