El Pollo Alegre

My hubby and I were searching for some Mexican rotisserie chicken for lunch and we definitely found it! I think this place is a great secret overlooked because of Hutchins BBQ right next door. We ordered the whole rotisserie bird. It came with rice and beans ( which we skipped) and tortillas. It was fabulously grilled with the smoky char marks on the skin. Just eating the chicken and rice only still left us with enough for lunch the next day. The tortillas were light but strong. (iykyk) :-)The whole lunch with two beverages was also budget friendly. Take note though... they ask if you want chips and salsa? My thought was, "Yes, of course, I am at a Mexican restaurant!" I probably would have said "No!" if I had realized they charge $3.25 for them! Only negative from our visit.

We went after church because it was nearby and the reviews were good. I had the chicken fajitas. The reviews were spot on, that chicken was really amazing! Hubby had the barbacoa tacos and he said they were delicious! Creamy guacamole with just the right amount of spice. The place is small and it was almost full by the time we got our food but our server was great!

Husband and I had a yummy early dinner here. The service was fantastic and attentive. The shrimp taco plate was HUGE with really fresh ingredients and nicely seasoned shrimp. The shrimp fajitas were perfectly spiced with mounds of tender crisp peppers and sizzling sweet Texas onions. The salsa had a satisfying smokey finish. Chips & salsa, two dinner plates, and two drinks was less than $40 before tip. These are unheard of prices! Restaurant was bright and clean with several TVs and festive decorations. We will become regulars.

Food is amazing...the horchata is phenomenal!Service is just as great. Got our food fairly quick. We will definitely be back.Come check this place out!

Amazing food! Definitely a hole in the wall but great value for the money. I got the tacos and they were so good!!

Decently priced authentic Mexican food and with good portion size. The breakfast tacos are great. The. Breakfast torta as well. I didn't enjoy the huevos divorciados as much mainly because the red and green salsa were too acidic and strong.

I was passing through town and decided to stop by. The chicken is seasoned well and tender and the salsa was good. The chips were the best I've had in a long time.

This place had the Mexican atmosphere, but when you go to order the food you get a whole different avenue. I ordered breakfast because their barbacoa sample was horrible. After ordering breakfast with potatoes I received chopped up french fries. Really! Never again!

Using my Yelp app, I found this delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant. Don't pass through McKinney without stopping by for the beat Mexican food!! The salsa was fresh and you could make a meal out of it! I had shrimp fajitas. They was oh so good! Plenty of shrimp, bell peppers and onions. Cooked to perfection! My husband got the shrimp tacos and he loved them. The guacamole was amazing! Our waitress was so nice and attentive. Never had to ask for anything!! All the tables were full, but we didn't have to wait long. We will be back!!

Their horchata and enchiladas good! I liked it here. If you come here just Don't be bother of the Mexican vibe haha
