El Pollo Dieta

If you have never been here it's a must try!!! Best chicken in the desert and you're seeing all the work done. From the grill to the chopping area to your to -go tray ... Yummy!

Hole in the wall cash only. Deal on Wed. And Weekends. Been coming to eat this delicious chicken for like 30 years! Sides are good too.

El Pollo Dieta service authentic Mexican chicken with wonderful side dishes! The best Mexican chicken in the USA.

I love their chicken! They need to upgrade their building went to the restroom & super hot well its 117 F outside other than that the food is good

Best since forever! I remember coming here as a kid back in the 90’s and loving it. Recently went again and nothing has changed :). P.S. The salsa is bomb!

Wonderful customer services!(: There chicken, pinto beans & chocolate cakes are very very delicious! I would recommend y'all to get a cake 🎂. Very time we go we also get cake cause its super good and not to sweet.

They have the best chicken anywhere. They were there long before pollo loco.people say it’s not fancy. I go for the chicken not to look at the building. And drive from la Quinta to get it.

Love the chicken. It has really good flavor. Been coming here since I was little. Highly recommend it.

This place is the bomb, but make sure to get cash money before you go up to order. Cards are not accepted. There is an ATM in the parking lot around the corner. We ordered a full chicken from here with salsa and it was absolutely delicious. We were doing a keto whole 30 diet and this chicken fell within the round. It is unreal how many chickens are cooking at once but apparently sometimes they do sell out, so make sure you plan accordingly.

If you want the best chicken in the Coachella Valley, then this is the place that you need to visit. This restaurant has been here for years, and the food quality is still the same. The meals are decently priced, and it's great for lunch at work if you're buying for a lot of people. Keep in mind that it's cash only when you go.

Sensational food. Especially on the weekends. Really nicely cooked barbecued chicken. Not over spiced. Potato salad is really good. Good prices too.

Best chicken we been coming here for years and never have we ever had a problem with the workers there. As we understand they work under so much pressure trying to give everyone their orders. In other words best customer service and best chicken from the valley.

Been going there with my family since I can remember.. Food is still great till this day. The place does need a remodel.

Hidden Gem of the Coachella Valley. Been coming here since I was a kid, now that I have my own family we come here as well still taste the same after all these years. Such a unique flavor of chicken and the sides are amazing. Little pricey but worth it if you go on the weekends for the 2 for 1 special.

I've been coming to this place for years, since around 1986 or so & the food is always the same, great. It's fun being able to see how they cook everything through a big window. Service is always quick when I'm there. 👍🏽

Excellent chicken, especially on Wednesday's and Saturday's when they have the specials. With the rice and beans along side the macaroni or potato salad and you can't go wrong. Fresh and delicious, you won't be disappointed.

Its grill and season whole chicken, freshly made ,on weekend is on sale buy one and get one free but the price is high $17.00 dollars for one chicken which is not actually a whole chicken, 8 pieces of chicken is 5.00dlls at Cardenas on Thursday and Friday a much better deal.

This place is a great. Am only giving them 4 stars because they are still a cash-only place. Otherwise, I would definitely rate them as a 5 star.

The chicken has the same taste as ever but the prices just keep on going up! Best deal days Saturdays and Sundays BOGO!

Chicken was great and I went on a buy whole chicken get a whole chicken free day. Side portions were a little small but it was delicious

Five of us went and enjoyed delicious, healthy and juicy chicken. Not greasy at all. I gave 4 stars because the side dishes are "nothing to write home about". The establishment is very modest as is the seating but there is always a line out the door for the good value and delicious chicken. This was our second time there and we will return.

A classic Coachella chicken joint, the weekend special is great but be prepared to kill 40 mins just waiting on Sunday. If you go to pick up on Sunday - make sure you get there at 5:15 or earlier because the cashier girls will just tell ya they either is an hour wait or they ran outta chicken. Good luck.

The chicken is great, but the service is poor. The place looks like it needs to be kept cleaner.

It's good but its price for the size is not good only to go on the weekend u buy one chicken get one free.

Food was amazing, service was great, everything was just nice until a cockroach passed by my mom's shoulder when eating, so maybe just get your food to go which you know was good because it comes right off the grill. Would recommend.

Pollo dieta was okay, I didn't really care for it I've tried 4 different Chicken fast food places and my boss and I like Pollo Loco the best, however; their pieces of chicken are very small at Pollo Loco, now when you come here to Pollo dieta their food is plentiful the chicken is big, you do get full, it's just that the beans rice in the chicken, well, just aren't that great, sorry!

I had waited in line for around 15mins. Then a man shows up to the cashier and says he placed an order on the phone 1/2 hour ago.. the cashier checked.. the order didn't show and she still helped him first in front of us.. It could easily be NOT TRUE about his Fake order..

I've been eating this chicken since I can remember and recently I have noticed that the delicious and distinct flavor they were known for has changed. Its subtle but after years of eating here you can tell the difference. In addition there are times when the cooks go a bit overboard with the salt.

They need to update their work hours. 🙄 It says they close at 7 and they were closed before 6. Showed up and saw multiple cars show up and get rejected. Not okay.

Food was good, but the two chicken deal was a rip-off. I paid $17 for one chicken, not two, as there was only one breast, two legs, and six wings. What kind of chickens are you using with this ratio of pieces?

Takeout is best. Not recommended for dine-in. The restaurant itself is extremely dated. It's like walking into the 1980s again. Seriously. Be prepared to wait at least 90 minutes to be served.

I went there a lot from around 2009 to 2013 and it was awful and not worth the price. Went again and it's still the same.

today on February 15th I ordered a chicken and Coachella they forgotto give me my tortillas and they were very rude when I called for my tortillas. Will never go again. KFC

went to this old place and being from the area I should of known better stood there for about an hour wit then nit having my order ready everybody after meeting got their order except me finally after being tired of waiting wen to one of the employees and asked for my order they had past my order long ago and no explanation given wow just asked for my money back never to go back again!!!

food is great customer service is horrible they leave the phone off the line so you can’t make any calls for 1 1/2 hours at a time till i came to the store and confront them about it and they still make you wait 30 min

Don't be fooled the chicken is dry and taste old When there is little business. I was there at 12 o'clock on Monday And nobody was inside eating or buying chicken. I wish the cheap owners eat there chicken just so they know how Lousy the chicken tastes.

The business was aimed to provide for the family a unity and equity amongst the community . To many , buying chicken for the family symbolizes a meal . Others , a family gathering together that will eventually become a memory over TIME OF AGE . Take into Consideration, you’re dinning in - at home , at the community parks or on the road . 🤠Those on the grills , individually tell a story that (Provided many families) in despair . They were unappreciated , discriminated, taken advantage , overlooked , and overworked at most they are more than just replaceable, those same hands that feed the community are the ones feeding you’re family (GLOBAL Generation wealth) . In conclusion . The chicken gave me food poisoning &’ it was once my favorite childhood staples; growing up 🙌🏽 🎀😒 ( GUESS?) .ON THE GRILL . Kindly, ☘️

My one star is based on the fact that they don't take credit card or debit.\nThe question is, who carries cash.When the world has normalized credit cards?And debit

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS PRICING! On Sunday they always have a special i used to pay around 21 then it went up to 24 and now its 26 dollars for a chicken. I do understand theee is inflation. But 2 times inflation its ridiculous.

They are not very clean. I saw them cleaning the floor, using the same bucket, the same bucket they used to marinate the chicken, that was the same bucket they used to clean the mop. That was so nasty, how can they put the chicken in the same bucket they used to cleaned the mop. Imagine cleaning the toilet floor. and then socking the mop in the bucket they just used to clean the toilet. Since that day I never went back to buy chicken from this place. Specially now with covid-19 nope, they need to have more health regulations. They need to be more clean
