Opinions de El Pollo Rico Austin
Always delicious lunch. Little indoor eating area, fine for a quick place to eat
This location hast two wrap around drive thrus. Always the best chicken in the city, good portions, great flavor.
Looks so good...digging in now...ingredients look nice and fresh..chicken tostada's with crema on side....perfect with the Zero Gatorade I got from the 7 Days Food Store. ....drive through looks the Best way to go:) although plenty of seating inside...bars on windows yet can see 1st Street corner store easily...
This Pollo Rico is a great location to get food from!!! Every time I go, I get what I ordered 98% of the time, and will also always order lots of green sauce on the side. The green sauce is GREAT for everything Pollo Rico offers or personal dishes you got at the house!!! For me the food is awesome, but the green sauce is the cherry on the top. Favorite meals I FREQUENTLY get are the 1/2 chicken meal, the chicken taquitos, and the potato with chicken. My wife likes the chicken flautas, and chicken quesadilla. Also we have had the horchata before and that’s really good too! As far as drive thru times you can expect to be out of here in 5 minutes most of the time, but there are does busy occasions like during prime dinner time where it can take up to 10 minutes to get out of the drive thru. The staff is usually really nice, and mostly seems to speak Spanish. When ordering I have not had any challenges, and just keep it real simple. Sometimes they will sneak me some free green sauce when I order 3-4 extra on the side!! Much appreciated. Our only recommended growth is the refried beans. The charro beans they offer are SUPER good, but the refried beans they offer could use some work. Overall a great location with good food, and great service!!!!! Thank you Pollo Rico!
First time visiting an El Pollo Rico. The chicken was so moist and flavorful. The side dishes of rice and beans were tasty but the portion size was small for the full chicken meal order. Was really a 1 person serving or maybe 1.5 person serving depending on appetite. The added tortillas were good. The Jamica beverage was delicious. I was astonished at the size of the large (Im not from Texas, and thought it enough for 2 or 3 people). But it was hot and so tasty that I ended up drinking all of it! This is mostly a drive up, order and pick up place. There is some seating inside , but the interior isn't anything special.
My dad likes the caldo de Pollo. May son likes the street tacos and torta. I like the nachos, and my grandson likes the chicken nuggets and fries. We get the chicken occasionally. Our family has used them for a party once. I wasn't aware of the inside, so I always use the drive-through.
It’s good food and I’d rate the food a 4/5 but it’s getting a 3/5 because it is always a hassle ordering. The order is always missing something or they give you something you did not order which makes it hard to even validate tipping here (yes they ask for tip when you sign your receipt) if the order cannot be taken correctly or be correct when packing. There is also no screen although they do repeat your order at the window but they all do it differently so there is no consistency. Take the time to check your order before leaving.
Sunday around 6pm craving for some good food and we pick some from 3 different places to try out different flavors. My wife chose pollo Rico and the reason was because she loves Gorditas. Long story short we ordered half of chicken and one Beef Gordita, all of that for about $26.00 the cashier was friendly and attentive to my order. The chicken was amazing with lots of flavor, the rice and beans cooked to perfection. The only issue here is their Gorditas are not home made but you can tell that they are frozen and refried at the time of the order, the meet and all Of the ingredients were ok but not that good maybe because of the sensation of the bad Gordita tortilla. Again best place for chicken but not gorditas. Please excuse my bad typos.
The food is of inconsistent quality, but the pricing is also scammy. For example, I ordered a lunch special but they charged regular price and when I pointed it out, they’re talking about tax, even though taxes are charged separately as a line item. Sso basically they advertise one price for lunch specials but they charge another price intentionally.
My daughter bought me a half order of chicken about 2pm in the afternoon. The chicken looked old , not fresh and hard to cut. The beans which are usually very good and tasty had no .taste at all just plain. I was very disappointed. I had stopped getting food there because it’s not tasting the same. I decided to give it another try. My sister in-law had also bought an order of half chicken. She had the same problem but she did eat her food she gave it to the dog.
Chicken flavor was really good every thing else was not worth the money. I ordered the whole Chicken it was served in a piece of butcher paper and tied up in a plastic bag, grease was everwhere. The beans and rice was only enough for one person. I questioned the portion and was told that was wall it came with. I was very disappointed in this place. It is a shame because the Chicken has such good flavor but it is served up like dog food.
I ordered a quesadilla with Big Fajita and I guess you counted the pieces of meat that That you put in there because I only had five pieces of meat and lots of cheese that is not worth the price I paid I also ordered a baked potato, and that potato had a lot of beef fajita on it. That’s a damn shame will not be going there anymore.
I don’t know if it’s because I am black but there is consistent bad service; wrong orders, or orders that are wrapped in plastic wrap other locations unwrapped. I like the food but sick and tired of racism from this location. Contracting corporate offices next.
Went in for dine in & she packed our food for take out. If I wanted to go order would have went through the drive thru. Lady at front lacks customer service. I order the number 4 & number 10 both beef. She looked back at the menu every time I said something like it was a bother to her and I knew exactly what I wanted. She just seemed like she did not want to be there. I will also be uploading the pictures we paid 30$ for an absolute disappointment.
