I had the chicken burrito. Omg, so good. Super flavorful, and they brown the outside. Its huge. I had it in house and with chips and salsa. Salsa has a kick. I love that they use real plates and cutlery. Water is self serve.

They currently have a Monday special for a whole chicken, plus sides and you get an extra 1/2 chicken.

Also its really clean in here. Will happily come back. They do take credit cards but they have a 3% surcharge...

They bottle the smell and sell it. The aroma was amazing. The service was great and helpful. The whole chicken was delicious and the grilled jalapenos were perfect. The rice and charo bean were also very good. The chicken burrito was also outstanding. I will be making Pollo Express part of my restaurant rotation.

Had a whole chicken with zero regrets. Get the rice as well it's so damn good! Make sure you have cash, they do have an ATM if you only have plastic. Eat here you will be happy.
