This is my go to spot when I need food that will last me all day without being too unhealthy. The spicy chicken has good flavor but the mild is also very good! I usually get half and half because I can't decide which is better. The rice and beans are also fantastic. My only critique is I wish they had a different spicy salsa since the one they have isn't my favorite. The pico de gallo is very delicious but of course has zero spice. Highly recommend if you need a family dinner or just to eat all day for one or two people. Very affordable read more

This place is what El Pollo Loco wants to be when it grows up. The chicken here is awesome, and works out great for gatherings.

I have to give another 5 star review and honestly wish i could give more. Today we picked up an order for 10 chickens and rice beans, potato salad , also came with tortillas and salsa. This chicken will have people asking where you got the food from, we got 6 spicy and 4 regular, everything was amazing. From the lady up front helping us with our order ; to the kitchen staff 5 stars. This chicken is flame grilled with a juicy flavor you can only get from cooking with love! Even the picky kids from our party finished their plates. This is the real deal. Blows ell pollo loco and Juan pollo out of the water, don't bother. They have pride in everything they serve , everything was packaged with attention to detail and like I've said so good that even left overs were claimed! If you are serving a party of people or just want a good meal , give this place a chance. You will be back! read more

Had this placed saved on my "gotta try" list, and was able to finally visit today. Let me say, I was pleasantly pleased with the food, the service, and the friendlyness of the staff. Firstly, the chicken was outstanding. I initially went to order a basic family meal, with the original/regular flavor but the lady mentioned that I should try the spicy next time. Her enthusiasm swayed me to go half on the spicy. Oh my, I was super satisfied with this chicken. The spice wasn't too hot, but there was a slight taste of chipotle and other ingredients that made this, one of the best I've had in this style. The regular chicken was just as good, and other Yelpers described this spot as a more flavorful El Pollo Loco or Juan Pollo. Pretty accurate. The sides were also a hit. The beans were super fresh, and the rice was not greasy like other places. I also enjoyed the potato salad. Overall, I made a decision that this is now my chicken spot, and that I will drive out of my way to come back. read more

Los Pollos del Pueblo - Store front - Mexican Near Me - Covina, California

Was looking for a place to eat for a quick lunch around the area and after looking at the reviews this place had the most 5star reviews. It's in the same plaza as the Ethiopian cafe which is our regular but the place is closed between 1-5 so we decided to try this place instead. Upon entering the place has so many cute chicken decorations! My child loved looking around the place. Seating are booth tables, they're plenty of tables empty so we sat near the fridge of drinks. We ordered and paid at the front station. The staff is super friendly and welcoming.We ordered 4 piece chicken combo original with rice and beans (we chose the flour tortilla), a torta (pastor), and two cans of Diet Coke. We got our drinks first and sat down and only waited for 10minutes. The staff gave us the food on a tray and the smell was so good. The chicken was juicy and the skin was slightly crispy. It was seasoned well and came with two types of salsa (one spicy and one nonspicy). There were three tortillas with the dish and we made use of them all. The torta was big, crispy and toasted bread with plenty of pastor filling! It was almost the same price as the 4 priced chicken combo, we just didn't see a price for the other menu with photos. We finished everything and didn't leave any leftovers. Overall such a great place for chicken! For the price, I might order more chicken dish since there was so much more meat and filling than the torta, but the torta itself was pretty good to try. Restroom is unisex and individual room with a urinal and toilet! read more

It's located next to Mi Pulgarcito Pupiseria Salvadoreña and near GS Ethiopian Cafe. I had went to this plaza for another restaurant but they closed already for lunch. I decided to try this grilled chicken place, reminds me of Juan Pollo or El Pollo Loco. It seems family owned with a young teen taking my order. I chose to try the 16 piece family special with half spicy and regular chicken ($44.99) which came with 4 large sides, tortillas and salsa. I chose their macaroni salad, potato salad, rice, and beans. I got a lunch special for myself that came with a can of soda. The seasoning on the chicken was good, the spicy chicken had a good heat. The skin was crispy and the chicken was moist. My family did not like the sides of macaroni and potato salad. The staff was nice and the wait time was not long. read more

If you prefer an upgrade from El Pollo Loco chicken this is the place to go. If you love savory delicious spicy Mexican chicken with tortillas that comes with comfort food sides like rice and beans this is a hidden gem in West Covina. Chicken was well seasoned not overly salty. It was moist and not too oily or greasy. Portion for a family meal with some carbs is very filling. Got to come back soon to enjoy some delicious chicken again. read more

Incredible chicken! In my opinion better than any fast food chicken. I would recommend a restaurant remodel but the service is amazing and the food is great read more

Found chicken from Yelp review. Little place unless you knew it was there. Few tables inside if you want to eat there. Don't let area throw you off. Some storefronts are closed but worth it. Great customer service :) Ordered 12 piece chicken only but they gave us lemon slices and salsa. They asked if we wanted tortillas but I passed since we had at home. Chicken was tasty and juicy. We fed 4 of us and gone by next day :) would definitely go back again. I want to try their chicken pozole :) read more

Los Pollos del Pueblo is a delicious chicken restaurant. I have stopped by on several occasions to pick up lunch or dinner. The flavor of the chicken has been consistent. The owner is usually at the front helping customers. He is nice and always asks how I am doing. I usually get the 2 piece combo with potato salad, rice, and tortillas. The chicken is spicy and juicy. They also have a non-spicy option. Their salsas have a good flavor. The red one is spicy. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating. I like the bright yellow walls and decorations. I will stop by again when I need my chicken fix. read more

The meal packages are priced well and the food triumphs over Juan Pollo! Make sure you order over the phone before you go to avoid waiting.

Great food! It's like what El Pollo Loco use to be. I love their chicken and beans. We always call in our order and my husband goes and picks it up so I don't know what it's like inside. All I know is we are always happy with our food and prefer it over El Pollo Loco. They offer single meals and family meals, come with salsa and tortillas. They have pinto beans and white/Peruvian beans. We do like the white beans. Their family meals come in all size quantities. Next time you're in the mood for El Pollo Loco, try this place instead. Prices are about the same. read more

Tasty chicken. Better than Juan Pollo, if you want to compare it to something similar. The portions are the good and the price is reasonable. Sides are okay, but the chicken itself makes up for it. Good salsas too. Will definitely go again, especially since it appears to be family owned. read more

Thos place is awesome small place. It is welcoming service is good with a 1 cook and 1 cashier. And the food is great. I highly recommend this place. Chicken is great. read more

Okay, I'm impressed. Today was my first time coming into this restaurant. From the moment that I walked in, the man working behind the counter kindly greeted me. I explained that it was my first time in & he was patient enough to explain how their menu is set up. The prices aren't bad at all. I ordered 3 chicken pieces with potato salad & beans. It also came with tortillas and slices of lemon for the chicken. On my first bite, I was instantly transported to a world of flavors. Man, this chicken is tasty. It is perfectly condiment and really, really juicy. Also, it tasted healthy. I will definitely be back. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. If you are craving good rotisserie chicken, then this is the place for you. read more

I came by for dinner, and it wasn't too busy. Plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. I got the two-piece meal and chose potato salad and beans as my sides. The food was a good amount and with the sides and tortillas it was pretty filling. I really liked the potato salad, great flavor and texture. I'd be interested in trying some of the other sides to pair with it. The chicken was flavorful and tender. I love the decor inside, chickens and roosters everywhere. Prices here are pretty good read more

This spot is underrated. I highly recommend this place. The chicken and rice are great

Nice kid took my phone order, I couldn't find the location and he gave me good instructions. Now on to the food, the chicken was pretty good. A seasoning that went well with the whole meal. I would come back and order a bigger portion to take home to the family. I also would like to try other dishes. read more

I love finding a Hole in a Wall gem like this one.I love their rotisserie chicken (spicy), the taste is so much better then other "name brand" out there, even the sides are good. They also cater, prices are listed on the wall! Definitely our new go to place when we are craving for chicken. read more

Covina's best kept secret. Let me tell you this much: a meal for a family of 4 at In N Out is approx $45. That's my baseline metric when deciding on whether a meal out is 'worth it.' Well, double double your mother because this 12 piece 3 sides combo is the new standard. $35. Family of 4. Granted, no drinks. But put down the soda, you're probably pre-diabetic anyhow. If you're a Covina native, you probably want to know if this competes with the Peruvian options in the neighborhood. Yes. read more

If you think Juan pollo taste good, you're totally wrong! Give Los Pollos Del Pueblo a try, it is 1000 times better than Juan pollo. The chicken is seasoned well. The flavors have you wanting more and more. They offer regular or spicy flavor. You won't be disappointed, I promise you. read more

Los Pollos del Pueblo - 8 piece enchilado (spicy) with potato and macaroni salad - Mexican Near Me - Covina, California

Had a great first experience here! Friendly service. Quick turn around time. We had spicy and regular 16 piece. The Chicken is moist and so flavorful. Spicy is actually spicy so if you don't absolutely love a kick get the regular. That was my personal preference. Also, get the beans. I made the mistake of only getting one container because I thought they would be your average run of the mill pintos but I would seriously go back just for the beans. Rice too actually. Soft, fluffy, perfectly cooked and delicious! $44 dollars fed three of us for two days so can't beat the value. read more

I have officially found my favorite chicken from Los pollos del Pueblo. The beans and fresh and the rice is simple but delicious. I came with my husband last month for the first time and we've been coming back at least once a week. We started with 2 piece meals each to 8 piece. read more

I'm on a mission to find a good grilled bone in juicy chicken. I've seen this place before, decided to pick up some chicken for dinner. The cook let me try the sides, and I will only stick by the potato salad and rice. The spicy chicken has a good flavor but not juicy, at all. I'm still on a mission to find that one chicken I can give 4 to 5 stars. read more

For those of you who are 35 and above and lived in Los Angeles in the late 80's and remember what el pollo loco use to taste like, your going to want to stop and eat here. Will never return to Juan pollo, Juan's super pollo or el pollo loco again. My sons are extremely picky and every single member of my family loved this place. Taste like it was made at home. Beans were good, rice was good. We had the spicy version of the chicken and it was so tasty and moist. Food was so good I couldn't even take a picture of it. I hope the rest of the food is good, will post more on the next visit. Oh and the red salsa is pretty darn good. read more
