El Pollo Cris Cris is a local restaurant that has seen some changes over the years but remains a popular choice for many diners. The food continues to be praised as delicious, especially the charcoal-style grilled chicken, which many consider the best in the Chicago area. Sides like rice and beans are also standout options. While the restaurant had issues with inconsistent hours in the past, it has become more reliable recently.
A notable recent change, however, is the switch to a new type of fries, which some customers feel are not as good as the previous crispy, seasoned version. Despite this, El Pollo Cris Cris maintains a loyal following, with customers appreciating the attentive service even during busy times. One reviewer highlighted their experience catering a birthday party, mentioning that the food was perfectly cooked and the price was good.
The restaurant has multiple locations, with the Pilsen branch being particularly favored for its fantastic mural and great overall quality. It is also kid-friendly, offering a kids menu, and is wheelchair accessible. Overall, El Pollo Cris Cris appears to be a solid choice for those seeking tasty grilled chicken and a welcoming atmosphere.
