Rico Pollo

So after loving my Rico pollo and supporting this place for over 15 years I have to say good buy Bought 1/2 pollo and it was super delish as always except that I'm pretty sure chickens are supposed to be a little bigger and have some kind of body part named breast never seen it and instead of got 2 legs 1 thigh and some neck piece Oh well good by out of my like Rico pollo RIP

Fast and economic, it's always delicious. Employees are really friendly and if they are not super busy they will come out and do a small talk to customers.

So meh chicken, bad dining, crap service, and overpriced- that's 4 strikes that puts Rico Pollo towards the bottom of the heap of many finer Mexican options on Federal Ave.It's not so Rico Pollo. I ordered the 1/2 chicken. It was ok and a little dry. Just ok. Not great or anything. It came with beans, rice, and tortillas - big effing whoop. Increasing the whole sexy factor for this overpriced experience is the presentation of a styrofoam plate on a tray in a dumpy dingy dining room with crappy service.Let me unpack this further in snarky review banter.Here's my beef with chicken- chicken is a very easily substituted entree. Everybody serves chicken and most of it is mediocre so when chicken is your main deal, you better be damn good at it. I can get a 2 piece combo at Popeye's with 2 better sides for $6 and be more satisfied. Hell, I can get the whole rotisserie chicken at the grocery store for $5 so why am I paying $15 for chicken and a drink at this dump? I can do much MUCH better at this price point.Why do they call it Rico? Yeah- mismatched booths, dirty dated floors, kiddie gumball machines in the main dining room, hand written menu signs taped everywhere, nasty bathrooms, unfriendly transactional employees that are doing you a favor, and utter silence in the dining area to set the mood other than the gossipy employees. Burger King is more Rico and regal than this dump.

This place is disgustingly dirty. I never should have ordered, let alone ate in there. I've had the heebie jeebiez all afternoon. I had the rolled tacos, no flavor at all. Rice was nasty. I'll definitely stick to the Rico Pollo on Grant st. This place in no way would pass a health inspection.

Looking for a big meal for a great price?My and my family love this grilled chicken restaurant. We always order the whole chicken, includes salsas, tortillas, jalapeños, rice and beans. The Chicken is delicious!

I live about 3 minutes by car from this restaurant, I've been thinking about going for a while cause it has the look of a super dank chicken place to it. I was wrong, super small menu with good chicken in the burrito but really bland chicken in the rolled taco. As previous mentioned this is a 3 minute drive from my house yet it wasn't fast enough for either me or my roommate to make it back with out nearly crapping out pants. The quickest onset diarrhea I've ever experienced, I'd vouch for it to be a world record honestly. -written from the toilet-

They're dark chicken is too small for the price $13.99. Rico pollo on Colfax and Havana there dark chicken is bigger do they get their chicken from the same vendor if not the one on federal needs to.

The food was really good, but the chicken was dry. The service took about 5 minutes to make the food. Also the restaurant was very quiet. My only complaint is the bathroom doesn't always smell the greatest

After receiving incorrect food the first time, I returned to get my correct order which was 12 mango habanero wings. After a wait that was longer than necessary I was given 12 wings but with an incorrect sauce (buffalo). I went to explain the sauce is not correct and the employee was adamant that the orange sauce was mango and not buffalo. She then went to the back and brought out the mango sauce which was a red color and clearly a different color than the sauce on my order but continued to tell me it was correct. I have ordered mango habanero wings from them on at least 3 other occasions so it was truly a slap in the face and very disappointing and disrespectful on the restaurant and employees end.

Change your oil, the burnt out grease lingered on the flautas, and in my mouth! Thanks for the glob of cheese stuck on one flauta, the wings were stuck together, guessing they were fried frozen! The corn salsa dried up! Overall dissatisfied customer, never going back! Gross
