    The roasted chicken was super good! So glad we came here last night, they were busy but food didn't take too long to get out. They were hand pressing tortillas too. Everything was flavorful and super affordable. The steak was a bit chewy for me but it's probably bc it was a little thin. Overall, super great experience. Restaurant is a little small, so when it's busy, it might take a bit to get a clean spot.

    Always a good sign!! Chicken is excellent!

    Came here after a race event at SIR. We didn't have high expectations when we walked up until I saw the EXCELLENT food safety rating. We ordered the Pollo Asado (roasted chicken) dinner and it is seriously some of the best chicken I have ever eaten. It had great flavor from the grill, but was perfectly, dare I say....MOIST! We enjoyed the sides, as well. FRESH tortillas were terrific! It was a lot of food, but the two of us put a pretty good hurting on it. We still had some to take home, as well. The service was friendly, but we did have to wait a while for our food. Will return if we are in the area again!

    With the new job headquarters being nearby, it allows me to explore this area more and thus far, quite happy! A very solid 3.5 Stars. Reports of dry chicken and meat are erroneous at least on my Friday and Monday visits. Note: I chose roast chicken both times instead of grilled. Both proteins are quite juicy here and fear not of any disappointment. The rub that they put on both the chicken and carne are almost perfect, right before the threshold of the "tad bit salty" meter. Could eat alot of this...... The rice, slaw, and beans all seem quite fresh and no complaints with them. Tortillas are great too. Have not needed to even sample the salsa bar yet! Don't need it here! I REALLY wish I could get just the meat and exclude any sides, but they charge the same either way. Trying to lower carb intake won't happen here. While tasting great, the $14.99 for the #16 is a buck high.....it does not match the hole in the wall ambiance. With the hole in wall ambiance, there is a fly or two buzzing around but most likely just situational. Will always consider if nearby.

    It's cinco de Mayo, and I really didn't want to cook. Due to the lockdown, we can only do delivery or curbside pickup. After searching for a place on yelp, we decided to try El Senor Pollo De Kent. It was listed on door dash, plus the delivery fee was so affordable. Being high risk it was best for us not to go pick up, but have it delivered. They did not disappoint. Even though this place is basically down the street, we have never tried this place. Growing up in L.A., it's difficult for us to find good Mexican restaurants. We've tried several in our area that were not good, so we are skeptics when we see good reviews on yelp, because so far we haven't found any we liked. That being said we were pleasantly surprised by our food from El Senor. We wanted to support the businesses in our area, and so glad we did. The roasted chicken was moist with good flavor, my husband loved the spicy sauce, and the whole roasted jalapeños. I thought the little steak tacos were pretty tasty. Is it like the ones in Southern California? Not really, but it was still good. As soon as the lockdown ends, we will for sure visit this establishment in person.

    Just, wow. This place is incredible. And I almost don't wanna write this review so it doesn't become so popular that they start charging more money and offer wait service and move into a fancier building and all that hipster BS. El Senor Pollo De Kent is perfect just the way it is. I came here for lunch after a meeting and the place instantly smelled so good soon after I stepped inside. El Senor Pollo has a straightforward menu with entrees, combinations and even whole chickens for sale. After asking the cashier what she recommended, she said anything with the chicken, so I ordered a number one, which is a two-piece chicken combo. It didn't take long for the cashier to bring out my food, and even before sinking my teeth into my lunch - I just knew I was gonna love it. The chicken was incredibly juicy and looooved the hint of spice seasoning that they used on it. I also liked that the number one combo came with dark meat, which is what I prefer. And with the chicken was rice, beans, salad and a choice of corn or flour tortillas. And holy shit were the corn tortillas amazing!!!!! I told myself that I would only eat one, just to try since I'm on dat low-carb life (trying!!!), but they were so freaking amazing!!! Even as I was dining in the cashier was making the tortillas right there, so you know there is something about housemade tortillas that Mission can't ever do for ya. The rest of the sides were also very good, especially when you combined it with the chicken to make a taco. UGH, carbs, but, LOVE. Also make sure you take advantage of their salsa bar! I tried a little of everything and loved all of the different flavors. For anyone who loves SPICY - then this won't disappoint. No mild/child's play here. My only regret was only getting the two-piece chicken combo instead of the half-chicken combo, or hell, even a whole chicken. But now you know where to find me in Kent. I WILL BE BACK.

We decided to stop in for a Saturday lunch and knew we were in for a treat as soon as we pulled up as the smell of charred meat wafted through the vents outside. We arrived right when they opened and we were the first party through the door. Surprisingly, it didn't get very crowded at all through our meal - even at noon there were only three other parties. Service was stellar, especially since there weren't many customers to deal with. The waiter continuously checked in with us and we never wanted for anything. Shortly after being led to our table, the waiter brought over a fresh tray of garnishes for our water, including lime, lemon, orange, mint, and cucumber. What a great touch! We then got a flight of four salsa accompaniments. The first being a pickled onion, interestingly tasting kind of like ginger and soy sauce with a slight sweetness that compliments the vinegar base. The second was a typical pico de gallo mix, but with a totally different spice mixture. I'm not entirely sure what's in it, but it's more than just the typical salt. The third was a light and refreshing avocado based salsa, while the last was a sharp tangy and spicy salsa, light molasses in color, and flecked with black and white specks. A charred tomato base, perhaps? Papa Loca ($19.99) - Asadero prime provides a HUGE potato, one of the largest that I've ever seen. I'm wondering how they even source these - I've never seen anything this big at farmers markets or at grocery stores. Anyway, it's baked to absolute perfection. The skin-on exterior leaves a tiny crisp, but the interior is so soft and fluffy it almost feels like mashed potato in texture. The potato is served steaming hot and it's scored with two long knife strokes, allowing the cornucopia of toppings to penetrate into the depths of the starchy masterpiece. The toppings include some baked potato classics - the decadent sour cream, the melty, fatty blend of cheeses, and of course the meat - bacon and Wagyu carne asada. The carne asada is cut into little niblets. Rather than an entire steak as with the entrees, I believe they use off cuts and trimmings here, as I found the meat to be somewhat sinewy and fatty, making it hard to chew on. It has great char flavor though! (4.5/5) La Carne Asada ($35.99) - The dish first comes with a large pieces of thinly cut carne asada. It's cooked until well done, but is still tender and is great quality with all the gristly bits trimmed off. It's simple and flavorful but with one issue - it came to the table already lukewarm in temperature. For the proteins, there's also a small chorizo sausage. It's heavily spiced, soft and almost grainy in texture. It falls apart easily when removed from the case. For the veggies, there's a slightly charred green chile with a spice that builds. It's mostly raw, only the skin is charred just a bit to be able to flake off. Similarly, there's a large green onion that lightly charred, crisp and fresh in spicy allium flavor. Finally, there's a chile relleno with a simple green chile cut in half and filled with broiled, melty cheese. Yum! The two side accompanies come in little cups. The first is a refried bean sauce which I disliked immensely. It's drippy, watery in texture and it tastes overwhelmingly of lard. I wouldn't be surprised if it were at least 50% lard. The second cup is a salsa that looks somewhat similar to the fourth salsa in the flight but tastes completely different. It's smoky and mild with a fire roasted tomato base. An order also comes with four tortillas, with a choice of either corn or flour. The corn tortillas are hand made in house while the flour ones are purchased. It's obvious which one to go with. The corn tortillas are soft and easily foldable without breaking, fresh and spongy. They don't give enough for the amount of meat though! (4.5/5) Both dishes we ordered had some minor issues, but overall they were delicious. I can't say I go all the way down to Kent very often, but luckily Asadero has another location in Ballard I can visit if I ever get another craving for Mexican influenced steaks.

The long: steak culture is incredibly mundane and steakhouses themselves often overcommit and underdeliver. Vue has cracked the code bringing flavor to steak houses. They go beyond the traditional salt and pepper approach and introduce Mexican and Hmong flavors in their dishes. If haven't had the honor of dining in a home from either culture, you're in for a treat. I personally like their New York strip Their family love can be felt in the decor, the interactions, the attention to the customers and the food. For me these were flavors and the culture of care I grew up with. So I'm exited for their success, mark my words they will be the best steakhouse in Washington in the next 2 years. They're working with something special here.

    I'm sorry that I have to revise my original review. Instead of 2 stars, I'm changing it to 1…read more The reason is not only my original experience but also the owner's response. Rather than acknowledging my concerns, they chose to argue with my experience and made factual claims that are inaccurate. The reply also reads like a generic AI generated response instead of a genuine attempt to address customer feedback. First, there is no such thing as a "gaucho torta". In Argentine spanish, the word torta refers to a sweet cake. A savory sandwich is not called a torta, so this is clearly a creative invention rather than an Argentine dish. Second, my review was specifically about these kinds of "creative" reinterpretations, not about traditional cuisines. I have traveled extensively throughout Argentina, as well as other countries in Latin America and Europe, and I appreciate that every restaurant is free to innovate. However, when you choose to reinterpret a traditional cuisine, you should also expect that some customers will appreciate those changes while others will not. Both perspectives are valid. Regarding the chimichurri, traditional Argentine recipes have historically relied on neutral oils such as sunflower or corn oil, although recipes vary by region and household. Presenting your version as the definitive authentic one while dismissing a customer's perspective is misleading. The disappointing part was not the food itself but the response. Instead of engaging respectfully with a customer who offered thoughtful criticism, the owner chose to argue with my experience and present questionable "facts" as if they settled the matter. Constructive criticism is an opportunity to improve, not something to dismiss. Here is my original review, my apologies for the confusion on the "bowl": There is plenty of steak, but the bowl is styled to appear fuller than it is, with an excessive amount of greens doing the visual heavy lifting. The steak itself is buried under butter and a heavy white sauce that mutes rather than complements the beef. The large, roughly cut potatoes aspire to a rustic aesthetic but read as inexpensive filler. Most confusing is the lack of culinary identity, the dish isn't recognizably Mexican, Italian, or particularly refined. It mistakes richness for sophistication
