Original Pollo in downtown Berkeley is a local institution known for its delicious and filling breakfast. The restaurant has a small dining room with an old-school feel, creating a chill and no-frills environment. The service is friendly and attentive, with food arriving in a timely manner. Standout dishes include their breakfast sandwich with eggs and ham, and the breakfast burrito with chicken apple sausage, both cooked to order and highly praised. The owner and staff are described as friendly and helpful, creating a neighborhood cafe atmosphere. Customers praise the quality of the food, particularly the breakfast burrito and homemade salsa. The chicken is well-cooked, with a nice char on the outside but juicy on the inside. Customers also enjoy the gyros, BLTs, and fresh lemonade. While the service can be a bit slow at times due to the small staff, Original Pollo offers a consistently good dining experience.
