El Pollo Rico is a hidden gem in Waukegan known for its delicious broasted chicken, rice and beans, elote, and phenomenal steak tacos. The double tortilla carne asada tacos with spicy habanero sauce are a must-try, followed by the corn in a cup for a tasty treat. The restaurant roast chicken and serve it with feathers still attached, which many customers find unusual and see as an area for improvement in hygiene and cleanliness. Despite this, the consistent quality and incredible taste of the charbroiled chicken make this spot worthwhile. Customers often praise it as the best chicken place they've ever been to, emphasizing the delicious flavor over the atmosphere. The meals taste homemade, and although prices have increased, many believe they are still worth it. Overall, El Pollo Rico remains a fantastic restaurant that offers satisfying meals, especially if you enjoy their chicken or steak tacos.
