I really have a hard time rating this place because -- honestly -- our experiences have been so inconsistent.
This was once our go-to place in the LP for casual, full-meal dining. Lots of reasons why: Ample portions; Great prices; Excellent menu selection.
But, over time, we've been less and less frequent patrons. I think it started when they stopped offering chips and salsa as a starter snack. Small thing, but one notices.
Then we noticed that the quality of the service was diminishing, and it was getting tougher to get the attention we formerly received.
Then we noticed that the quality of the food was going downhill. Example: On our last visit the chicken fajitas were sprinkled with lots of bone fragments, gristle, and pieces of fat. This had never happened before and caused my wife to declare, "That's it; not coming back."
I still have a fond place in my heart for El Pollito and I've had a meal there once or twice, solo, since she swore off the place. But she's right: It's not the 5-star it once was. read more
