Years later, and the food is still what keeps bringing us back!…read more My husband is on vacation this week, so we headed to El Pollo Colorao for lunch today as a party of four. We've been eating here for years, and while we love supporting local, enjoy the atmosphere, and have always found the staff friendly, let's be honest -- the food is why we keep coming back. We arrived around 1:30 and had two groups ahead of us at the counter, but the line moved quickly. In fact, there was a pretty steady line the entire time we were there, right up until we left around 2:30. Their takeout business was hopping too! Despite how busy they were, we had no problem finding a table in the dining room. I decided to branch out this visit and tried the #14 Pernil Sandwich with yellow rice. The sandwich has roasted pork and potato straws on their delicious bread, and my first comment after taking a bite was about how flavorful the pork was. It was tender and juicy, and I loved the contrast of the crunchy potato straws with the pork and that soft, slightly sweet bread. So good! Two people in our group ordered the #2 Tripleta, one with yellow rice and the other with yuca. The Tripleta is actually the favorite sandwich of all three of my family members. They love the combination of meats along with the crunch from the potato straws. My husband is normally firmly on Team Tripleta too, but decided to branch out and order the Mediodia this time. We were told when ordering that it would take about 30 minutes and were given the option to change his order, which I appreciated. He decided to wait and was glad he tried it. He enjoyed it, but since he tends to prefer savory over sweet, I have a feeling he'll be right back to his beloved Tripleta next time. And, as always, he got his favorite side -- the maduros. Yum! When everything was ready, they brought our food and drinks right to the table on a tray. The gentleman who took our order was very personable, and Abel came over to our table while we were eating. He recognized my husband and remembered his name -- which really impressed me considering it has probably been about a year since our last visit. And can we talk about the value? We spent about $60 for four meals with sides, three drinks AND a bag containing two loaves of their bread to take home. Yes, we buy the bread every time. It's that good. Even better, the portions are so generous that everyone took about half of their sandwich home for dinner. They definitely don't skimp on the meat here, so you fill up quickly. The dining area is comfortable and has some fun, whimsical artwork that gives the place plenty of personality. They also have a nice assortment of drink options and seating by the windows for customers waiting on takeout orders, which seems to help keep the dining tables available even when they're busy. After all these years and multiple visits, El Pollo Colorao continues to earn 5 stars from us. Great food, generous portions, good value, friendly people, and a locally owned restaurant we're happy to continue supporting.

The service was great (not many people dining in that afternoon but tons of walk-in traffic with takeout orders. There were a few items on the menu we were not familiar with, and the owner was happy to explain everything. Lovely interior - ode to Puerto Rico! Hubs and I shared a relleno de papa (I could have eaten a dozen, so good!), yucca fries, a beef & cheese empanada, a chicken & cheese empanada, and despite being stuffed had to try a guava and cheese empanada.

I was warmly greeted by the hospitable owner who shared a bit about the menu as well as the business! As I looked around, the fun selfie-room caught my interest! I sat in there, relaxed and took a few pics while I waited for my freshly prepared order. The owner was kind enough to take a picture for me too! My favorite thing about the room was the relaxing sound of the ocean that coordinated with the beach backdrop! There's also a replica of Puerto Rico's Umbrella Street found in San Juan. Colorful, vibrant umbrellas are hung to create a canopy. I like that the vibe of this restaurant has all of these nods to PR! I ordered both spinach & cheese and beef & cheese empanadas. I added a side of yuca fries. My meal was hot, fresh, and tasty! What more can one ask for! The empanadas were flaky and crispy while the fillings were seasoned perfectly. If you like Spinach, definitely try the spinach & cheese empanada with it's notes of garlic! It was delicious! The beef filling is unique and tasty. You can tell that the items were made with care and attention to detail, right down to the plating! I ordered take-out, so everything was packaged neatly! I must comment on the yuca fries... I was pleasantly surprised because they weren't so starchy as ones I've had in the past. Instead, they were flavorful, fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside with a slight dusting of seasoning. They were delicious! Hurry here for authentic Puerto Rican empanadas with a unique twist!

The empanadas were absolutely fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend getting them with the garlic aioli sauce on the side; it's outstanding and takes them to another level. The ladies in our group ordered the bowl and raved about both the chicken and the steak versions. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor. I went with the steak chimichurri sandwich, and it was fantastic--juicy, well-marinated steak with that bright chimichurri really hit the spot. Service was spot-on from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations when we were ordering, which made the whole experience even better. If you're in the Ormond Beach / Daytona area and craving some delicious Latin-inspired food, definitely check out Tangos. We'll be back next time we're in town!
