Don Pollo BBQ San Juan Reviews
Great chicken. Sides. Prices. Favorite order: 1/4 chicken , mixed grilled veggies, mashed potatoes.
This is one of the best locations, I like the service, cleanliness, and the food is excellent. Recommended to eat outside, they have a beautiful patio.
The food from here is always good. Well seasoned, juicy and yummy. So far no complaints.
Don Pollo is the best. We ordered the fiesta for 4 and they actually bring it out in nice bowls, family style. Felt like a nice, family style meal!

Each bite of comfort food is a symphony of flavors, from the tangy sauces to the cozy ambiance. Whether you’re dining with friends or treating yourself to a solo culinary adventure, Don Pollo promises a memorable meal that you’ll cherish for days to come.
Don Pollo is a hidden gem that delivers big on flavor and comfort. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rotisserie chicken sets the tone for a satisfying meal. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a perfectly crisped skin, and the sides—especially the, black beans & rice, and the pico de gallo garden salad—are flavorful and generously portioned. I even had to splurge for a beef empanada appetizer and it was crispy on the outside with a very savory season filling that hit the right spot! The space is clean and welcoming, with a casual vibe that’s great for families or a quick solo bite like I had. Service is fast and friendly, and even though they were busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly. I especially appreciated the variety of sauces—each one adds a unique kick to the meal. Whether you're grabbing takeout or dining in, Don Pollo hits the mark for quality, value, and taste. Highly recommend if you're craving Latin-inspired comfort food done right!
I like how clean this place is. I come here almost every week and never get tired of their juicy, delicious chicken. My favorite sides are the cucumber salad and corn pico. They are very fresh and taste yummy. Also, I love all their other side dishes 💕 fries and yuca are hands down the best I have tried.
Wow! Compared to the one on Veirs Mill, this has better quality of food, seating area and customer service. The outside seating area is adjacent to the street so it could be loud with the trucks driving by. It’s still cute tho. Food was delicious. Table numbers for the inside dining orders and took a decent 15 minutes to receive. After I was finished, I was sorting the dishes and trash. Valeria was so sweet and assisted me because I’m just so clumsy and slow. Thank you!
Winning food. Big portions, potatoes are rich in butter, sweet, pair it with fries and chicken so it's a good balance. Surprised fries are really good, crispy, tasty, and hearty. Chicken is cooked really well, could use some green sauce maybe they didn't pack it in the takeout. Good food.
Absolutely love this place. The chicken bowl is a great lunch with fresh avocado, corn, and cucumber. Also the chicken is super tender and flavorful. I highly recommend a side of yuca. The green sauce on the side is a bit spicy, but really yummy! Also the service here is quick especially for takeout orders.
This location is great. Food is always fresh and tasty. I typically order online for pick up and the only downside is I can't request for them to remove the avocado from the rice bowl. They have every other option, but that. Sometimes due to the heat of the food, it be too mushy for me to remove afterwards and I end up throwing most of it away. But I really enjoy their food and it's fairly priced, so I'll will continue to support.
Pretty tasty place. The pollo saltado was very good. The empanada was beef, some veggies, and a little cheese. It was deep fried so I wants a fan of that, but still tasty. Also got an order of fried plantains which will last me a few days. Spent roughly $25 for all of that at lunch. Would go back again.
I must say that the establishment is very clean as well as the kitchen the staff is attentive and helpful. The food is not to mention the chicken is one of the richest that I have tasted in my life very rich and juicyMy order was half a chicken with two companions and two empanadas to say that the arros is very good but the cabbage is not that good. In my order I included 2 empanadas which was one of cheese and anotherThe chicken is both very tasty, therefore the food is very good. I will be a customer of this city for as long as I live.
I ordered the half chicken dark meal with mac n cheese and rice with beans. Unfortunately, the dark chicken was overcooked and lacked the juiciness I typically expect from it. The rice was also dry, and there was no “bean broth” from the beans to make it easier to eat. It made them difficult to enjoy. The mac n cheese was the perfect texture and melted in your mouth.
