Excellent 1/2 chicken with excellent onion, usual sides. I missed living in the neighborhood near the #2 North Lamar location. I stopped by at a slow time of day, polite staff and great food. Took to go, but the place was clean and ready for business later on in the day. Grabbed a couple neighborhood newspapers as I left.
I like there food, there can be a language communication issue.
I've been coming here since my youth, and now as an adult, I’m a regular with a favorite spot in my routine. The positive atmosphere always makes each visit enjoyable. My go-to order is the Papa Asada with either chicken or beef, and I've never been disappointed—everything on the menu tastes fantastic. This place consistently delivers quality food and a welcoming vibe.

El Pollo Rico #1 serves delicious, grilled chicken that truly stands out from competitors. They offer whole or half chicken meals, with prices around $12 and $6-8 respectively. The chicken and salsa are must-tries, and the charcoal chicken has received special praise for its flavor. Customers have enjoyed other options like the chicken burrito, which is large enough to share, costing about $10. While vegetarian choices are limited, the beans are a highlight. The atmosphere and cleanliness could be improved, but the staff is polite, and the restaurant is noted to be clean and ready for business. Overall, the food is well-liked, and it seems there is a steady flow of customers, indicating its popularity.
