El Pollo Correteado

This was THE best chicken that I’ve ever had!!! Very simple menu and amazingly delicious! It was so good that we took food to go home for later! It’s so worth the drive from anywhere. Bonus is that it was so very clean! We will be back!

Grill it and They Will Come
As long as chickens and mesquite trees continue sacrificing their lives for humankind, you might as well visit a place honoring both, plus your tastebuds. Pollo Correteado does one thing, mesquite grilling chicken, adding standard sides. They offer macaroni salad, mashed potatoes, and frijoles de olla — Mexican pork and beans.
Pollo Correteado honors all three, giving your palate a Cinco de Mayo or Fourth of July (take your choice) explosion of delicious excellence.
Chicken can easily be grilled into jerky. The day I ate here, the bird was tender and juicy.
The salsa is mild, onions marinated down to tasty side elements, jalapenos warm and good, sliced lemons full of puckery, sweet condiment de Mexico. The frijols de olla that smoky traditional Mexican excellence that’s not easy to find.
Tear the meat from the bones and build your tacos as you wish. Supplement with a Mexican Coca-​Cola over ice and it is feast time.
I’m coming back. And I’ll make sure some Saturday night our family tries Pollo Correteado.

Simply magnificent in all respects. Great experience, great food. It’s a must do.

I admit it looks a little sketchy from the outside, but in my experience that just means it’s good. I love trying new spots in the valley. This place is basic simple and damn good. We had the whole chicken with beans and tortillas. Limes an hot sauce perfect

Food is great but a huge «BUT»
When you order the special of 10 pieces for 11 bucks plus tax on the window. To cut the thigh pieces in half, I am sorry but that is complete fucking bullshit. I don’t know if they do that shit in Latin America to up the numbers. But that was the most deceptive fucking horseshit I have ever witnessed at any restaurant my entire life. Some of those thighs might have been split into 3rds. no joke. Came out in my estimate to about 6 or 7 pieces. Legs weren’t split. So the deal is 6 or 7 pieces for 12 bucks out the door. Now is it that great of a deal? Not really.
How about the food. Only thing that saved this place is the food is great. Good solid El Pollo Loco chicken flavor, but actually tasted better grilled over actual mesquite wood. You get corn torillas. A bunch. Also get a good salsa that has a hint of carrot flavor that beat El Pollo Loco, and a couple jalapenos that were deep fried and had a type of soy sauce flavor on them, some lemons and pickled onions. Honestly it was a great change of pace from El Pollo Loco.
But and I mean a huge BUT. Cutting pieces in half is in a way false advertising and stealing from the customer. Will I ever go back. Maybe or maybe not. I haven’t decided yet.

Heard about Pollo Correteado through some friends on the 4^th of July. Of course, I had to go about the next day to try it. I’m always searching for the next great foodie venture. We call to place an order, but there were about to close. They were kind enough to way an additional 15 minutes for us to drive over for our Take out order. We paid (there’s a sign that says Cash only) and when we got back into the car, the smell of the food was AMAZING. Note, I’m not sure if this a Mexican or Peruvian food, but it is AMAZING! We got home and opened up that delicious meal! The chicken was rotiserie, the tortillas might have been home made, the onions were amazing, the salsa was fresh with the perfect amount of heat, they used white beans, and their Mash potatoes were not what you would expect… THEY WERE
You’re welcome in advance if you used my review to lead you to this tiny little jewel!

Food is simple and delicious! Get ready to get your hands dirty. There’s no forks necessary here. Rotiserie chicken, a simple salsa, warm tortillas, and canned/​bottled drink. Love it!
The salsa is simple and tangy. It can hardly be called spicy, but quite tasty. They also have roasted jalapenos, pickled purple onion, and go at it.
When you order your options are a whole chicken or ½ chicken. The cook will chop it into pieces for you.
The place is covered with the color orange, casual, indoor and outdoor dinning with a small tv for a spanish soap opera.

Awesome chicken. I buy at least two to three chicken deals when I visit. It still never lasts very long. So good.
