    King Pollo was my spot to go when I was working at the 7eleven off state college because they were right next to it and it was very convenient for me to head over during my lunch break. The staff has always been friendly but now that they are under new management nothing has changed. Which I knew the new management before they took over the place. Still great service and the food is one of the best parts as well. My go to place since 2013. Their teriyaki chicken oh man it's really good, served with white rice and salad on the side. This plate is a good serving size plate nothing small. Definitely recommend them, they also do catering. So check them out! Not only do they give you quality service, remember you're supporting a family owned local business, nothing better than supporting our local businesses. To make it clear King Pollo is under new management and the location moved from where they had first started, next to the 7 eleven. King Pollo as you all see is on Lincoln and State College.

    Dry

    Not worth spending your money here the meat super dry bean taste nasty the potatoe salad dry as well

    Chicken Chicken and Beef Teriyaki Bowl

    I've tried this place a few times now but have never deviated from the half a chicken combo but today decided to try their teriyaki bowl and it was quiet tasty. I would go as far as to say it rivals the local WaBa / Flame Broiler. The chicken and beef are both seasoned well and have good texture. Rice is sticky and sauce isn't over done. While I still love their chicken combo, I can definitely see adding this in to the rotation of lunch choices.

    Boba drink options are now available.

    Their chicken avocado salad is my favorite thing to order when I want something healthy and delicious. It's a lot of food too, so you won't be hungry again in an hour. They take a rotisserie chicken and chop up a good amount before putting it on top of a huge pile of romaine lettuce, tomato slices, some carrot slices, and a generous amount of avocado. Beware, there are occasionally some bone pieces in the chopped chicken. If you check in on Yelp, you can also get a free drink with your salad. Awesome deal all around.

    I love the chicken salad here. I just found out about this place. It's like el pollo loco but in my opinion more authentic.

I usually have enough leftovers to take home and have for lunch the next day. Parking is a bit sparse, but there's residential spots available next door and within walking distance (as well as my favorite romance bookstore, Heartbound Bookshop). All their dishes are made to order, so please have some grace and be patient with their kitchen. As I always say, you can't rush perfection!

The agua de melón was delicious, and the side of beans was excellent. We also ordered a plain quesadilla, and it was surprisingly really good. The menudo itself was just okay--not bad, but nothing special. The reason I'm giving 2 stars isn't because the staff were rude, but they definitely weren't friendly or welcoming. My biggest concern, however, was what I witnessed with the condiments. When you order menudo, they bring a plate with limes, onions, and chili. I watched two employees clear tables, throw away some items, but keep the unused onions and uncut lime wedges from customers' plates and take them back into the kitchen to be served again. Even if I didn't use all of the onions or limes, that doesn't mean I didn't touch them. Reusing food that has already been on a customer's table is unsanitary and unacceptable. After seeing that, it made me wonder whether other items, like leftover chips, might also be reused. Whether or not that's the case, what I witnessed was enough to make me lose confidence in their food handling practices. Unfortunately, I won't be returning

I…read morefeel like not many places make it the way it should be, and I often end up disappointed. But this place was the complete opposite. The food was excellent. It did have a slightly different twist from what I personally consider traditional, but I absolutely loved it! We ordered tostadas with salsa, shrimp aguachile, chile relleno, and chicken mole. Everything tasted freshly made. The tortillas were incredibly good, the tostadas had amazing flavor, and the salsa was phenomenal with the perfect medium spice level for me since I don't eat very spicy food. It also had a delicious garlic flavor. For drinks, we ordered a michelada that honestly surprised us because it was exactly how we like it, and a Maya-Tai that had a delicious smoky flavor. The only reason I'm not giving a perfect score is because I would have liked the food to be served hotter. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't really hot either. Our server, Justine, wasn't rude at all, but she did come across a little cold and very straight to the point, almost like she didn't really want to be there, and it showed.

I offered debit card, tap, Zelle. Nope. Cash only. Sucks they don't tell you over the phone. It's not advertised online either. I don't know what it is about this location. But imma keep my business at the Whittier location where they're friendly, offer their Birria menu, and other ways to pay.

Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top.
