El Pollo Real is a charming spot with friendly staff who love furry friends. Although there may be a wait, the high-quality food is worth it. The chicken is a standout, rotisserie style and available as half or full, plain or seasoned. The whole chicken with sides of rice and charro beans is a popular choice, and the frijoles charros in a delicious broth with bacon bits are a must-try. Delivery is fast, and the staff is accommodating, but be sure to double-check your order. The seasoned grilled chicken is juicy and delicious, with charred skin and so much flavor, and sides like rice, refried beans, charred beans, and green onions are equally tasty. The carne asada burritos are amazing too. For an extra kick, try the homemade hot sauces and grilled jalapeno. The chicken burrito bowl is great but best enjoyed fresh. Some visitors say the flan could be smoother, but the cebollas and horchata are yummy. It's more of a to-go place with limited seating, especially in the evenings, and pickup is available. The best deal is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when you get a free half chicken.
