Most Disliked
Some visitors note the occasional surprise when ordering drinks, as soda options sometimes differ from expectations. A few have mentioned that soda is served canned instead of from a fountain, which can be a letdown.
While the restaurant has plenty of seating, peak times can mean a busier environment, potentially leading to longer waits during the busiest lunch hours.
Though many dishes shine, there are occasional critiques regarding the balance of flavors, particularly for newcomers unfamiliar with spice levels. This can be a learning experience for first-time visitors.

The food was so good… the taquitos; AMAZING!!!! They were huge with chicken inside and smothered with shredded white cheese and drizzled with sour cream. The beans and rice were nice and warm! Tge salsa was hot!! The combo comes with a canned soda so that might surprise people as I thought it was a fountain drink like the menu picture entailed so… a little misleading. Overall, 10/10! Really good Mexican food.

El Pollo Rico is hands down the best in town! I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always delicious and consistent. My absolute favorite is the 3 crispy taco combo — the tacos are perfectly seasoned, always fresh, and full of flavor. Quick service, great prices, and unbeatable taste. A true local gem!

This place is great! It’s definitely a place I would like to eat at again. The chicken is so good. Anything on the right side of the menu is made with chicken and the left side made with beef. We got the tamales, gorditas, and enchiladas and they were all great. The tamale was good flavor but mild enough for kids. They also have hamburgers and fries so we got a couple of those for the kids as well. Everyone loved their food. The only recommendation for new customers is to get horchata. It’s good and the soda machines didn’t seem to have the right mixtures.

Got the chicken tacos with rice and beans. They were very very good. Simple, and well developed flavors that all complemented eachother really well. I will definitely come back for more

I've never had a quesadilla that good before in my life. It was like finding a bar of 24 karat gold after only seeing those cheap fake trophies that are just spray painted yellow. Holy crap. I'm still basking in the high of it. I don't know how you make food that tastes that good. Good lord

So yummy! My absolute favorite place for Mexican food (I don't eat pork or beef so I miss out on a lot of local stuff) so happy to support this place and they are always so kind
