The order was 5 slices of tri tip and a small order of beans and red chili tomatoe puree salsa.
I also drank a soda, so the portion was decent and a one occasion meal.

Great trip tip, chicken, freshly made tortillas and the best thing was the Orange Bang drink (a throwback from the 70s/80's)!!

Got this via doordash. Got 1/2 chicken which comes with beans, salsa and flour tortillas.
Was really good. Chicken was perfect, tender and moist. Salsa was deliciously spicy and perfectly complimented the flame broiled chicken.
Will definitely come back and I am excited to dine in.
A side note the food came piping hot even though it was delivered with doordash.

My family has been eating here a long time but yesterday will be the last. We usually just get past their terrible customer service because the foods good but the prices have gone up and the portions have gotten smaller we ordered our meat rare and it was well done, such a disappointment , the bathrooms were gross and the tables hadn’t been wiped down.

El Pollo Norteno offers a delightful blend of flavors with their juicy chicken and succulent tri-tip. The old-school arcade vibe adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the dining experience, making it a perfect spot for both delicious food and a fun trip down memory lane. Whether you're craving mouthwatering meats or a dose of retro gaming, El Pollo Norteno delivers on both fronts.

Pretty good food. I was driving through Santa Maria and decide I want to try some tri-tip. The tri-tip was good and the chicken was done well. I should have asked for dark meat but I was serve to breast instead. I really do not like the breast, but this was some of the best chicken breast I've had. I would eat here again but ask for a leg and thigh instead
