El Pollo Gordo

Came here for the Thursday special since it’s tortas. Pretty good tortas with a variety of meat options. The torta special comes with a torta with your choice of meat, I picked Pastor, fries and a drink.
The Horchata was pretty good and while I waited they provided me with Chips and Salsa.
There is also a Salsa bar with pretty good options, I liked the green medium sauce.
The torta itself was pretty good.

Got there street tacos and was filled with minced ground beef? Taco bar was missng items such as green sauce and raddish. There green drink was bad and not refreshing. When we asked the guy at the counter he seemed not to care and said there out. A over priced place with bad service wont be coming back.

Honest truth ! I was let down, I order the fish tacos and there was hardly no fish on that tortilla.
No flavor!
Sorry not worth my money or time

Had a green chicken wet burrito was so delicious and full of flavor and hands down a great michilada to go with it

Mini date night! Finally, an evening with no kids around. Well at least for a few hours. So what do wifey and I do? We decide that cooking dinner tonight is for the birds and opt to head out and explore our lovely city’s eateries. Well not so much explore as head directly to this place because we were hungry and had never tried it.
Walked in to a small but spacious (hard to explain) restaurant and were immediately greeted by a nice young lady at the counter. The place was clean, the tables were big and the service was good.
Food: My wife ordered the chile relleno combo. A good sized cheese-​stuffed chile covered in red salsa with rice, beans and flour tortillas.
I had the flautas combo. Two beef flautas, rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. The flautas were pretty flavorful. The beans and rice were tasty and washed it down with an ice cold cup of fresh water.
First time here and now a fan. Good stuff.

The best tacos I’ve had in town. I come here often for the tacos but everyone who I’ve come with who gets other dishes, always compliment how good the food is. Plus the compressed Juices they sell are delicious. Amazing family staff and amazing food. Highly recommended.

Delicious!!!
I had the simplest item on the menu, «the veggle bowl» and it was delicious and satisfying. The grilled fire roasted chicken is juicy and fresh. Salsa and salads are too die for.

Food is exceptional, the college kids who work here, work for free so be generous and tip.

I can’t believe that I’m going to day this but my #1 spot for Mexican food USED TO BE Casitas but I’m so sorry Casitas but Pollo Gordo took my heart away!!! It has a very unique taste! Very home made!

Ahh I love this place! I always come here when I’m craving good Mexican food! I’m a sucker for their pastor (on ANYTHING it’s so delicious!!) If you’re looking for a big meal to share with a friend or 2 there’s a large bowl of your choice of meat and fries and cheese and a whole bunch of goodness :)
Recommend their soft street tacos and honestly everything I’ve tried here so far has been great! highly recommend.

Taste like Mexican home cooking. Foods great service was excellent. The press juices are amazing.

Best al pastor meat that I’ve ever had! Had 2 tacos — one chicken and one al pastor. The chicken taco was super good too, clean and tasty.

It’s ok. I’ve tried to like this place, have visited a couple times. Nothin wow’d me so…

The asada tacos are so tender and full of good taste. The fajita plates are huge in portion with unbelievable taste.
The owner also makes this healthy green juice with full of vitamins. Or you can enjoy a verity of beers.

Came in today for the first time had the 2 piece chicken combo. Pieces were a good size and lots of flavor and seasonings. It came with 2 sides for less than $ 10 bucks.
They even have cold pressed 16oz juices made on site every day fresh for only $ 5 bucks. They also have a extensive mexican menu.

Today was my 1^st time going there for lunch.
The food is OK I had a wet burrito but not the best. Their menu says «enchilada» sauce and clearly it does not look like it or taste like it. The sauce looks orange and the taste is not that bad but it was not what I was expecting.
The lady that took my order was really nice and friendly. The place is really small and parking sucks specially if you have a big vehicle.

It’s a small restaurant but the service was great. Friendly environment and very respectful. The food was great too. Will be coming back again.

Extremely overrrated. Did not enjoy the nachos or the burrito at all. Dry, and they messed up my order. Carne Asada and Pastor left nothing to be desired.
The only thing that blew my mind was their horchata. Their horchata game on point.

This place appears to be family run with the mama in the kitchen and the son or grandson at the cash register. They offer a delicious dollar taco on Wednesdays, and if the new girl waiting tables doesn’t get too frazzled by the crowds she will actually give you chips (they looked great but I didn’t get any to taste).
The salsa bar is sufficient and the Pico de Gallo was super tasty.
Everything on the menu looks good. and they even offer beer and wine.
But this is almost a storefront fast lunch place, so don’t dress up for dinner or take a date here, unless you are both touring the best little joints and dives — foodie style. It is worth a stop-​by if you are in the hood. But don’t drive more than 5 miles for it.

I just wanted to update. They have improved a lot since I was first here. Food is very, very good.
