This was extremely good the first time I had it ! Everything was delicious . But then I went back for the family pack and EVERYTHING lacked flavor . The chicken had a weird taste , the beans were bland which was my favorite the first visit . And the rice was bland . We couldn't even finish it . It because after the first visit I was pleased and even called family near by to try it out read more

alright I'm not a yelper. but I'm all about helping out small businesses. so here goes. I was in the area for an appointment and needed food so I pulled into the parking lot, it was actually the only place that sounded good at all. I popped In and asked for a chicken burrito it sounded good and it says pollo so made sense chicken was a llittle bit from being done. owner says it's a little bit of a wait and I said that's fine I can wait. he asked if I would be interested in carne asada and my beef loving ass said absolutely. throws the meet on the grill and gives me a sample..... fire. has a conversation with me while my food is being prepared. asks me my favorite question, do you want spicy? and of course I said absolutely. this place is bomb. spices hit the spot and the best thing is it's affordable. it's a gem to find a spot that good for that price with good customer service. I'd give him a 10 if I could read more

Chicken had a great taste, great affordable price, will definitely continue to come back 10/10

I come here for lunch once a week. Good chicken! Everything is always fresh and the owner is very welcoming. RECOMMENDED

I went to El Pollo dorado and they have new people working and the food is fantastic. If you haven't already gone there, you should! Service was great and will definately be back! read more

i love this place, food has so much flavor, the new owners have brought out good things from this place, they even have carne asada burritos, i go for my lunch and it's quick service and amazing food read more

This is probably the worse place I had eaten chicken, Walmart chicken is delicious compared to it. The salad is mostly mayonnaise and the beans taste like they haven't been washed properly before cooking it, I will not recommend this place at all read more

Driving up to this place, you won't be expecting anything great. Walking in to the building won't raise your expectation either. You'll see a rotisserie machine towards the back of the kitchen, rotisserie-ing the heck outta some chickens, some plain counter tops and that's about it. But order some chicken, take your first bite, then be glad you were adventurous enough to stop in to this little chicken shop. The menu is basically chicken, a bunch of different ways - have a little fun and read the following list as Private Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue would, in the movie Forest Gump: Whole chicken, half chicken, chicken burrito, chicken tacos, chicken tostada, chicken salad, chicken nachos, chicken bowl. [You young-uns can check out the following link so you can get the joke (at 2:42): https://youtu.be/iLkNPjbaPTk?t=2m42s ] As a fan of rotisserie chicken, and also a fan of "Juan Pollo", I gotta say, this chicken, salsa and especially the potato salad taste a whole heck of a lot like Juan Pollo's, which is to say: it's pretty darn good. The chicken is moist where it needs to be (breast and thigh) and so crispy and slightly dry where it needs to be as well (those chicken wings are so salty and crispy they remind me of chicharrones). Right now, you can get HALF A CHICKEN, side of rice, potato salad, salsa and tortillas for only $6.49!!!! That's a TON of food for the price. I went with the "Chicken Bowl" but be warned: they don't give you a bowl and they merely toss a few pieces of chicken on top of it (I was expecting shredded chicken). No worries though, I took it back to work, shredded the chicken myself, and ate the whole thing happily. read more

El Pollo Dorado - Updates to menu - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

See all

This is the "new" Pollo Dorado. Tomas, from the previous iteration has retired. The new owner is Felipe. You have new taste sensations awaiting you! The seasoning for the chicken is very sophisticated. I queried Felipe about this as I love to recreate sauces and seasonings myself. He uses 17 spices (secret recipe!), which I can't imagine that anyone else who specialises in Rotisserie chicken can even match. This chicken is much tastier than either Pollo Loco or Juan Pollo. I love the char on the chicken skin. This brings out the flavours of the seasoning. As someone who prefers white meat, I can tell you that the chicken breasts are consistently moist and tender. I create my own tacos or use the chicken in a salad made with arugula, tomatoes, and cucumber. I've tried both the hot and medium salsa. Hot is truly hot. Be prepared! There is a hint of habanero, which you won't miss. The medium has excellent flavour without singeing the taste buds. Felipe's potato salad is a wee bit creamier, but still with pieces of potato. I hate a potato salad that is overwhelmed with mayonnaise. Felipe goes easy on the mayo, but creams the potatoes a bit more. There are small bits of carrot, which add to the flavour. You MUST try the beans. Felipe makes the beans himself...they taste like frijoles de la olla...they are not like a soup, but there are tasty beans in a thicker soup. They are so delicious. The place is squeaky clean and really is primarily for take away. There is a small table with a few chairs if you want to sit and eat, but I'm sure that Felipe will tell you that he is not specialising in ambience, but it incredibly moist chicken with a fantastic char. This will become your "go to" place for rotisserie chicken! Felipe is charming and friendly and clearly knows his rotisserie chicken. read more

I have been to the Rialto location many times and they have a great chicken salad. This location in Colton is nothing like the Rialto chicken salad. The guy literally just threw two pieces of chicken on top of lettuce lol. He didn't bother to shred the chicken. An he charged me for one salsa. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

This is a special place. Creamy potato salad and rice cooked with chicken bits. Big deliciously roasted chicken. Take it home, tear up the chicken, and enjoy your life. And after writing this, I think I know what I'm gonna eat for dinner... read more

This place is awesome for chicken. My wife and I got take out from here after the delivery of our son. It is a walk in place whee you can grab and go. It is also a great deal and good if you need to feed a lot of people with awesome chicken. Birthday party food, large lunches and group eats would be well served by a couple of whole chickens from this place. Hope it gets a larger following because it is an awesome value and really good hole in the wall chicken... read more

Best rotisserie chicken in town. Beats Juan Pollo & El Pollo Loco anytime. Chicken is always moist and deliciously addicting. My family eats here once a week read more

Me and my family love coming to this spot always serving fresh chicken we feel like it's definitely better than Juan pollo chicken. The gentleman working behind the counter is always nice and helpful. Love supporting small family owned businesses ! read more

Chicken was tasty. Beans and rice had good taste. Very authentic food. Doesn't look like an appetizing place. Was skeptical about it at first, but my girlfriend suggested this place. They give you a good amount of food for low prices. read more

Food is great and you get a lot for what you pay. The chicken is so good. So is the potato salad

Great chicken and great service! Chicken has great flavor and is always moist. This place is ran by one person so be patient. I work nearby and now have become a regular. The Owner lets me order ahead which is very convenient!! read more

Let's just say I love the chicken he makes tasty it's juicy and it's just way better than any other chicken places I've tried

This place is so good. Chicken is always juicy. And side are very tasty. Price is reasonable considering how great the food is.

2 large chickens w tortilla and salsa for 14.99$, very moist and flavorful. Cheaper than Juan pollo but just as good, its just take out no dine in! read more

If you don't deliver you shouldn't say you do on yelp to make your place sound better than what it really is!!

Consistently delicious! This chicken is NOT the rubbery kind you find at the Loco place. I would love it if they had a greater variety of sides. read more

One of the best mexican rotisserie chicken. I have been coming here for years. Great flavor and great prices. Surprised that there has been no yelp reviews of this place. Its a hole in the wall with limited seatings. But you cant go wrong with the chicken, rice, potato salad combo. read more

I love this place. Lots of food, for a great price, and juicy chicken! I usually get the combo where it comes with tortillas, rice, and hot sauce so you can make your own tacos. Needless to say, when I want to binge on something, I definitely come here every time. A++ read more

Love this place! Wish it were closer! I would never have imagined potato salad with a chicken taco but oh man the combo is so good!!!! Friend bought it for us the first time and I get their meals as often as I can!! read more

I just tried this place for the first time yesterday. I liked it. With a few touches to detail needed. First the chicken was very delicious moist and flavorful. No complaints. The rice was soft and fluffy very mild but none the less it was good. The beans on the other hand lacked flavor. They were cooked nicely but needed some serious touch of salt or pepper. Potato salad was just ok. Again mild flavor no chucks of potato either which is something I really enjoy in potato salad. Nothing really popped out was screamed delicious. Portion sizes could go up too. I bought the dinner meal with the tiny cups of sides. I ate my rice in about 3 spoon fills. I did get loads of chicken though. The "hot" salsa was mild salsa to me. I really wanted more heat. But it still tastes great. I'm going to have this place again. The dinner combo is a way better value than anything you'd get at el pollo loco. In conclusion, I recommend this place:-) read more

El Pollo Dorado - Just picked this baby up. - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

I had my daughter bday party food cater. They did a wonderful job and the cost was reasonable. My guest really enjoyed the chicken and salad. read more

Best place for chicken! My works go to place for many lunches, birthdays, and etc. Great portions, the rice and potato salad are amazing. Call ahead at least 30 minutes to an hour if you have to feed more than 4 mouths. read more

Chicken is really good. Great prices for the menu items considering all their food is actually pretty good. I took a risk and decided to order chicken meals last minute for 50 people an hour before it was due to be delivered and they were able to actually have my order ready on time. The owner was very polite. read more

I love this place. It serves great chicken, and good sides. Great service as well. Would 100% recommend this place!

Food was not great! Chicken very dry! Beans have no seasoning and the salsa was terrible. Who puts carrots in their salsa?

I like to support small business, but my meal was not good. Ordered two soft tacos, and I received two hard shell. The bad part: the shell was not homemade fried it was grocery store hard shell like Ortega brand. Horrible card board. The cheese wasn't melted and the salsa wasn't great. I should've know when I saw he had bags of chips for sale and they were totally store bought also. Round corn tortilla chips. I don't know what to say because I hope he survives but he should revamp his chef skills. The chicken inside the taco was okay but I did get a lot of rubbery stuff in two bites. Oh well. Disappointing. read more

pretty good chicken and potato salad, also dollar tacos no where else you can get tacos every day of the week for $1
