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.

The chicken is great here. Really hard to find in the area. If they offered UberEATS I would get it more often.

Those who run this place give terrible service. It seems that asking them for free is one

If you go after 8:30 pm they no longer have chicken. It's been 4 times that I go and there isn't any.

El Pollo Rico offers a gas station food truck dining experience that unfortunately doesn't live up to expectations.Having visited twice, the main dish, chicken, consistently arrived extremely dry and lacked flavor. The sides served alongside were unremarkable, failing to add any excitement or unique flair to the meal.This spot might be convenient for a quick stop, but it doesn't offer anything particularly noteworthy in terms of culinary delight.

Chicken shouldn’t be this good coming out of a food truck. Everything else there is also spectacular.
This is usually one of the best places to get carne asada in Austin. Very good burritos and carne asada tacos. Their meat doesn't have sinew in it like so many others, so that's why I come here. Their charcoal chicken is also super good and worth trying. They marinate the meats well, and everything is seared hot and fast. You won't find any grey steamed or boiled meat here, it's all genuinely well seared with intense flavour. My only complaint is the consistency of portions. I have found that the sizes of their burritos range wildly, some days it's a good size and others it's shocking how small it is. I've gone a few times where the burrito was smaller than a $1 frozen burrito from a supermarket. Being that the prices are quite high I'd expect greater consistency.
