Rico Pollo

The difference between the really good and really bad reviews add me interested in trying Rico Pollo. If you have never had a asado pollo or rotisserie chicken, Rico pollo is just that- a roasted chicken. I ordered ahead using the recommendations in this app. It really wasn't very busy when I went on a weeknight. Cleanliness: unlike most of the complaints, the restaurant really wasn't bad. The seating area is similar to a Subway fast food sandwich shop. It's a small restaurant with probably 6 tables that seat 4 per table. There were a few people eating in a They offer several options from full chickens to plates of light meat or dark meat. I opted for the dark meat plate. It was good though the prices on Yelp are outdated. I expected a $8 meal. A 1/4 piece with leg and thigh, rice and beans turned out to be $14 with a coke. It included some sauces and a green onion. The flavor is good but on par with a grocery store rotisserie. The service was fast and my food was ready by the time I went to pick it up. For the price the value just isn't worth it for me.

Always enjoyed good meals and the food at their location on Sheridan Avenue. Anytime in the area I stop by there.

I love love love this place!Tip of the day. Avoid the wait, phone your order in.Many years ago I used to run the Radio Shack in the same shopping center (it's now a T-Mobile store), I had enjoyed many meals there back than. Wow now I'm visiting Denver since I have moved to SW Washington. Because of Covid I have them a call to verify they were still opened. They answer the phone and suggested that I give my order over the phone I ordered the whole chicken. Made the drive over and saw people waiting outside. When I went inside I saw that indeed they were practically safety measures. They also had a sign up start once you place your order to wait outside. I gave my name and they had mine waiting for me. I paid for it grabbed my meal.IMG the smell on the drive back to my buddies place was overwhelming. It was difficult not to stop and start eating right away. It o finally made it back and we dug in. It was so juicy, flavorful and moist. Find memories!!Oh how I wish that we had something like this close to wear I live. Definitely will be back on my next trip to Denver.

It's something unexpected we are so hungry after a long fly it sounded good to have pollo on the grill for lunch. Can't truly describe it in words you need to taste it and tell me. Very nice costumer service too!

The chicken is indeed yummy... love the flavor! (Also good prices for what you get) That's why I keep coming but there are a few things that need improvement... -30 minute wait for what I always get; half chicken order?! -The bathroom needs some serious renovations and if it's not possible at least increase the cleanliness -Is it too much to ask to clean the tables and the floor? All the times I've been there is not clean so I rather take the food home. Pro tip: The half chicken with rice and bean side is perfect for 2 people!

It's really good for takeout. Yummy food. I order half a chicken was more like 3 little pieces. Chicken Breast was the best. This chicken has so much good flavor it's like El Pollo Loco but at the expensive side of it but well worth it. Only complaint wish their chicken was bigger. Other than that will be back. Friendly staff. You are not going there for decor but rather for awesome food.

Ordered in bulk and the chicken was so flavorful and well cooked. I love their cebollitas and just how you really get your moneys worth. I'll definitely come back!

If you are familiar with El Pollo Loco or other "chicken chains" this is a similar and great alternative. The menu is very simple - with half & whole chicken being the main items (they do have wings & flautas, but I didn't try them)For $10 you can get half a grilled chicken, beans, rice, salsa, and tortillas. The chicken is well cooked and seasoned and just what I expected. Most items are already cooked, so it's a fast, easy dinner for dine in or take out.

There used to be this chain called "El Pollo Asado (EPA)" in Colorado and I miss it. I hope they come back or something similar to it. One of my dear friends keeps telling me about this place called "Ricco Pollo." She said and I quote, "It is so frigging good and it's a lot like EPA. So I finally tried it this week. I went to the one at 2049 S. Federal Blvd.The food was as good as EPA but you want to know what killed the entire experience? The place was filthy. The tables were not bused, the table tops were sticky, the floors were gross and when I was standing in line about to order the food, my eyes began to wander back behind where the kitchen is. Oyyy, don't ask over here.We noshed and then took the rest of the food home. It was much better at home out of Styro foam boxes than eating there. At least I know my kitchen is clean-hell you can perform surgery in my kitchen. I loved the food but I know I will ever be back. The service was so-so too. None of the staff seems too happy to be working there and who could blame them? They need to be cleaned after work like they just left a nuclear power plant.

Love this place. The chicken is delicious. The interior is simple but the food taste so darn good.
