    Chicken and ribs with rice and beans
    Kylonda G.

    My phone was dying but I will be back to do a full review!!! Listen, the best of the best!!! I pulled in and the OWNER immediately greeted me, offered me a Sunday deal if I come back and we shook hands. Very humble and spiritually rich guy!!! I've been in Wichita for a year now and this is the ONLY place you can see any and all walks of culture pull up with the same goals and intent, and that's to eat some GOOD food!!!! Just go!!!!! I recommend any chicken platter and rib platter. The sides are amazing!!! Normally I know the beans and rice from other restaurants can be trash but not here. The love is not only in the meet but the rice and beans too!!! Many more blessing to all the hands that contribute to this business.

    We've been on the road the whole week, traveling from Los Angeles, CA to Wichita, KS. We celebrated Thanksgiving away from home but we're so lucky to have found El Pollo Dorado on my search for local eats. Thanks to @yelp We were welcomed with friendly faces and with free Thanksgiving hot chocolate with ingredients imported from Mexico and free generous taste of their delicious and Smokey turkey. Thanks David! For a reasonable price, we have a whole tasty turkey, chicken, and more for the whole family to enjoy during our Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel. The only think I wish they gave more was the tortillas. We got a whole turkey, a whole chicken, and a container full of Al pastor, and we only got like 6-7 pieces of tortillas. We're heading back to LA tomorrow but definitely bringing home some of the charcoal grilled turkey goodness because of the generous and ample serving! Also, shoutout to this business who according to David, generously provided warm meals to hungry individuals and homeless members of the community for free on Thanksgiving day. God bless you and your team. Highly recommended El Pollo Dorado in Wichita, Kansas. ig: @jhennybellyeats

    Half chicken

    Got the half chicken, rice, beans, tortillas. SO good and so affordable. Best chicken I've ever had and even the rice and beans are so good! 5 stars, you have to try!

    Grill and smoker
    Roxanne R.

    Delicious hole in the wall, authentic, Mexican spot with good service and big smoker and grills outside in the parking lot. It smelled so good driving by I couldn't help but pull in and get a couple tacos and I'm glad I did. They were delicious and affordable. I love supporting small local businesses!!

    "Lunch" is the name of the order on the menu. This is it...

    This place has a dude grilling out in the parking with a ginormous grill and usually a lady at the register taking your order. Appearance isn't anything special but I am not hard to please. As long as I get my food then I'm good. I always order the "Lunch" when I go there. Lunch consists of half a chicken, 4 tortillas, Mexican rice, and beans. I honestly love the food here, but the chicken isn't consistent (sometimes it is perfectly grilled and sometimes it is burnt which makes it dry). On a good day, it is my to go to place if I am craving some grilled chicken Mexican style. I recommend this place.

    This outside food stand serves amazing tacos. I ordered two steak tacos and two beef tacos. The meat was so delicious. I like the steak tacos more than the beef tacos but both were amazing. Everything appeared to be home made and fresh. The tacos are made in front of you. Tacos are $2 each and you will be asked if you want complimentary onions and a jalapeño with your taco. I paid by cash and I'm pretty sure that's all they accept. There is a steel drawer at the exit that has complimentary limes, cilantro, sauces you can put on your tacos. I ate the tacos in my car. I didn't see a place to sit down. Other people ate outside of their cars. I will definitely return in the future when I'm in the area.

    Can't beat $1 tacos! Well actually $1.25 ea but still. Fast and friendly service. You can see all the meat being smoked first hand in front of you so you know it's going to be good. There's a little pavilion to sit and eat your food. I chose to eat in my car as it was pretty cold out. I could see myself eating outside during the summer w/ a cold soda eating these delicious tacos. Will definitely be coming back!

    The long line on Cinco de Mayo

    We love the flame-broiled chicken here!! It's one of our favorite takeout places in Wichita because it's so fresh, inexpensive, and delicious! At least twice a month, we'll order a whole chicken with rice and beans to take home. It's enough to feed a family of 3-4, depending on how much your kids eat The hours are inconsistent and the wait can be long, but I still think it's worth it for this price!

    Good place to stop by for a chicken meal, rice & beans. They always are busy so try to go before the rush or be prepared to wait for your meal or they run out of whole chicken pretty often. Super delicious though and good bang for your buck. 4 pieces of chicken + rice and beans and one drink is around $7-$8 Whole chicken + rice and beans is around $19 Tacos $1 Drinks that are not pop (water, Gatorade, Jumex) are extra They do offer seating but the table is outside do it's kinda dusty and chairs are kinda uneven.

    Easily the best tacos in Wichita, cash only, but the tacos are to die for. There might be a line, so don't wait!

    the food is fantastic and the drinks are even better. strawberry margarita is on point.read more

    This location is so hit and miss. Once every ten years or so you get good service, your food may…read moreactually be hot, and if you were hopping on your left foot reciting the Lord's Prayer, you may get it in less that 30 minutes. All other times, they pay attention to the drive thru first, they ignore a person at the counter. If you use the app to order they "forget" to set it out until it is so cold the grease collagulates. Last night I must have been on an off-year, as I ordered on the app, and since the lobby was locked and closed at 10 PM I went through the drive-thru to pick up. Service was their usual--Duhh. The food, however, when we got home was something they must have scraped out of the trash. The "Mexican Pizza" was burned I mean the Cabbage?? on top was charred, then covered with salsa. The second layer had dried up pieces of chicken and nothing else discernable as food. The best I can say about the entire $25 order, is the Cinnamon Twists were good. I really think it's time for Taco Bell to hire a manager for this location. If I drive a little more out of my way to the location on Meridian, the food is always good, and service is great. If I go to South Seneca, same. This location on West st. Maybe park a food truck in the parking lot so serve Tacos?
