They were OK when I stopped by on my way to Phoenix. I had these fuzz busters in my car, because you want to keep good time going from Dallas to Phoenix, but the guy in the store gave me this weird look and kept staring at my car. I think his name was Guy or Gus? Whatever. All I want is my fried chicken, you know. Anyway, the fried chicken sticks are the best. They've got extra kick for getting you from ABQ to PHX. read more

Even a change in management has not lessened the food quality or restaurant cleanliness. The fried chicken is only second to KFC as far as heavily guarded secret recipes go. Make sure you grab the last booth on your left for all your scheming needs. I just wish they did breakfast too. read more

This is a review from 2009. I came across Los Pollos Hermanos by happenstance. I was traveling with my jazz band after a gig in the AB-Q and we were famished. Los Pollos Hermanos? What the heck was this? I was familiar with El Pollo Loco, maybe this is was its sister restaurant. There were few cars in the parking lot. As we we entered the establishment, four DEA agents exited. They were talking about how great the chicken was and how it was a New Mexico staple. The interior was a little on the eerie side. When we walked in, around 130, there were 10 people eating quietly and two bald Latino twins seated side by side staring at a wall. I felt safe though. Many security cameras watched and moved with every step I took. From my experience with these kinds of fast food restaurants, a cashier no older than 18 takes my order, except if it's Louie Anderson at McDowell's (Coming to America...get it?) This was not the case at Los Pollos Hermanos. A 40 something Hispanic man wearing the name tag of Gus was at the helm. He wore his own shirt and tie uniform and spoke in a very quiet yet concise tone. It seemed at times he was rushing me to order but also patient at the same time. I've never met someone like that in my life. I ordered the #3 on his recommendation. He told me that his chicken recipe is the best and how many people even died over it. I was laughing when he told me that, but stopped when I soon realized he probably was telling the truth. The rest of my band shut up too. We paid, received our food, and ate in an awkward silence with the rest of the patrons. Every five minutes Gus would walk up to us and ask us if we needed a refill of our soda. Los Pollos Hermanos might not have Baja Blast like Taco Bell, but they have Code Red Mountain Dew on tap which is hard to come by in Los Angeles. The chicken itself was the best I've ever had. For white meat, it was as moist as dark meat. The thighs and breasts were as tender if not more so than the drum sticks. The skin wasn't grizzly and not too salty. Just the right amount of kick. Nothing to run to the bathroom stall over. Gus said to us that if we filled out a comment card, we would receive a 2 for 1 on our birthdays. Our trumpet player, Liza actually went back a year ago to see her brother because he just moved there with his family. She remembered the nice time we had. When she reported back to us, she was a little bit disappointed. Though they honored the coupon, that nice owner Gus was no longer there. "I wonder what happened to him?" she said. Maybe there was another war over his chicken and someone wanted to control his chicken empire. Who knows? But if Los Pollos Hermanos is still around by the time I return, you better believe I'lll be back. read more

tl;dr Great place for fast food at good prices! Patrons and environment is slightly below industry average. #satisfactoryeatsinABQ POSITIVES Love, love, LOVE the chicken here! They must put drugs in the batter or something, because I just can't get enough! #FLAVORBOMB The cool thing about this place is that DEA is always here so I feel so safe! They even installed a free GPS map hard drive upgrade on my car--it only took one minute to attach that black box under my fender. They are so nice. #protectourborders NEGATIVES I'll have to rate this location with two stars because some damn Volvo ALWAYS (I MEAN ALWAYS) parks over the disabled parking spots. One time, I saw this really old guy in a wheelchair with his son (nephew? nurses assistant?) not able to park close to the entrance. I felt sorry because the guy had to use a bell to communicate. #ADAfail Every once in a while, weird people show up. A few months ago, some weird business lady came in, sat down, and started talking to herself. She didn't even remove her sunglasses, ROFL! I guess that's what happens when people 'get the munchies' (if you know what I mean!). #weirdamirite read more

This was my fried chicken joint whenever I was in the area, but I haven't been back recently because I suspect there has been a change in management. What's better than KFC, Church's, and Popeye's? El Pollos Hermanos! They give you a big bucket of chicken you can share with your loved ones, along with a drink. The service is always super friendly. I used to be a regular when the old manager worked here (guy in glasses with a button up and tie), and he always gave me extra sauce when I ordered. But the new staff do not recognize me anymore and I no longer get these extra perks. :( read more

Meh, not that great. Seems like a Pollo Loco knock-off. I thought it was hilarious though, when I was there some German business men in suits there having what they thought was an "authentic" American lunch there. You could tell they were so thrilled about that. I speak German at home and overheard part of their conversation, the one thing that came up that I remembered was them talking about expanding their businesses, not sure what it was. It kinda seemed like they thought they already owned the place after having lunch there once, hahahah. Germans are so cocky sometimes. read more

Went to this place in ABQ when I rolled through there and have meant to review since. Excellent fast food type chicken place, very basic, no gimmicks and no one is gonna make guac at your table like every other place in ABQ. Thank god. The chicken is amazing. Reminds me of the chicken we got in Chile, with just a little Mexican influence. Really special and unique, bless you America for being such a melting pot. Not much in the way of sides, maybe some beans and rice and french fries, not sure what else. Just go for the chicken and enjoy. Prices were great, hard to imagine how they break even. Do NOT come here if you are partying though, as management really frowns upon it. Also, I think it might be a cruising spot for bald guys, as there were always a few sitting out in the parking lot or meeting up inside. I'm OK with that, but FYI. read more

I had heard so much about this place, about how California has In N Out, New York has Shake Shack, New Mexico has Los Pollos Hermanos. I heard that owner was so nice, he wouldn't hurt a fly. So I figured I'd try it when I ended up in Santa Fe; Albuquerque (fondly referred to as ABQ) was only one hour away. So I drove in between business meetings, mentally salivating over crispy freshly fried, juicy chicken, thinking of new adjectives to describe the future best meal I would have. Why didn't anyone tell me this place wasn't real?? I feel broken, badly... read more

Although Los Pollos Hermanos is no longer owned and managed by Gus Fring (RIP), the fried chicken here is still some of the best I've ever had. I don't know what secret ingredient they put in there, but it must be crack cos that stuff is addictive! For a fast food joint, Los Pollos Hermanos is incredibly clean and the staff is always very nice and courteous. But that's all thanks to Mr. Fring; he led his team well and was so nice, he wouldn't have dared to hurt a fly. Minus one star for the shady men who sit at the booths for hours, never ordering anything, but taking up much needed space. And the staff just lets them sit there! So weird. read more

I stopped by LPH several years ago on a Route 66 roadtrip. Although, it looked a little seedy from the outside, this was the cleanest fast food place Ive ever been to. This appears to be the flagship location of the franchise. The owner Gus takes a lot of pride in his work, and was interacting with the customers like it was a fancy restaraunt. As for the food, its spicier than what youd normally get at a KFC. Gus himself told me the franchise uses his own Chilean seasoning recipe to give the Chicken its own special kick. In terms of sides, GO WITH THE POTATO SALAD. I tried it and it is off the hook. It gave me a bodily sensation that I never felt before. As I crossed the border into Arizona, I felt like I could drive off the cliff of the Grand Canyon . . . .AND MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE. My buddy, who went with the fries, talked me out of it. Gus said he was hoping they would expand beyond the Southwest, but it doesnt look like they have. I went online to see if I could order the Potato Salad in bulk, but it looks like they may no longer be in business? I see some locations have been replaced by Burger Matic? WTF? It is still fast food, so I cant give a five star review. I also docked a star because the vibe of the place wasnt very friendly, even though Gus did all he could. There were all these mean looking bald guys everywhere. And Im pretty sure there was one customer that was on drugs. But thats not on Gus though. He should not be blamed for the drug use in Albuquerque(!) read more

Like any fast food joint this place is loaded with chemicals, grease and HCFS. The taste is addictive which is why I ate all my meals here for months, but now my face is spotty and my teeth are falling out. I do love that it's the only place in existence where you can still get Crystal Pepsi (which looks more blue than clear when poured in a glass.) read more

A few years ago, after hanging out with my vegan friend, Gabe, I noticed that he had a "Los Pollos Hermanos" napkin on his coffee table. Thinking this place was a "fried chikin" place that serves fake meat, I was misguided. It was just like any other fried chicken place, except with a lot of serious looking bald men staring at each other. There was this one guy with blue eyes that came by that I thought was pretty cute, but he looked like a druggie. The manager was super nice though, and gave me free french fries for not having any vegan options. But seriously, what the hell was my vegan friend doing at this place!? I was definitely blindsided. I stopped talking to him afterwards. read more

This place is awesome! Best chicken in ABQ and it's always so clean. I don't know what their secret ingredient is but I got absolutely hooked. I can't go for more than a couple days without coming in. UPDATE: I used to love Los Pollos Hermanos but it's under new management and it's just not the same read more

Great chicken, and the boss, Gus, is one of the nicest souls in the world. We laugh and exchange recipes sometimes, and he even invited me to come over for fish stew, and offered me a job in his laundromat. I mean, really! What class! However, only three stars because despite my love for chicken, there were these two guys who I thought might be twins or brothers or cousins (one of the three) just sitting there staring in my direction while I ate.. and when I came back the next day, there they were again! Creeper-city ... I talked to Gus about it and he reassured me that they were ongoing customers who take breaks between chicken-eating. read more

Los Pollos Hermanos cooks the BEST chicken ever! I am saddened to hear that it has been almost 3 years since the owner, Gus, has passed away. I remember his spectacular service every time I visited this establishment. Regardless, LPH will continue to carry on as a top notch chicken restaurant! Food Quality, Service, Location, Ambiance, Prices: A During my visit, I was craving chicken, so I came to Los Pollos Hermanos! For the portion and amount of chicken you get, it is definitely a reasonable price! Plus there was something special about this fried chicken, always a kickin' pizzazz to the flavors and spices! ;) The batter on the fried chicken was crispy perfection. The chicken meat itself was very tender, juicy, and savory! The side dishes of coleslaw, mac 'n cheese, biscuits, etc. were also delicious and slightly salty but it was tolerable. My friends, Walter and Jessie, recommended this place and boy were they spot on! They were definitely regulars here because they always head directly to the back store for friendly business exchanges :) Service is always a great hit, especially the smiley female employees. I appreciate that Mr. Fring hires employees of all different backgrounds, even if they look like hitmans or ex-convicts, yikes! Mad respects, brother! This restaurant is insanely, immaculately spotless. No specks of dirt, shoe marks, or filthy tables at all. I don't even see flies or bugs inside- ever. Definitely recommend LPH if you are in the ABQ area! read more

Love this place. Great chicken and friendly service. Healthy option tip: The vegetable platter with ranch dip. Will be back for more read more

Los Pollos Hermanos definitely ran a tighter ship two years ago. The first time I was here, I visited a friend who swears by their chicken. I imagined KFC, but when I walked in, the joint was spotless. It was one of the cleanest fast food chicken places I had ever been to. I don't know how people drove by and didn't stop in because their chicken smells divine from a mile away. The girl at the counter was the sweetest person you'd ever order from. We shared a bucket and my god it was the best fried chicken my tastebuds have ever come in contact with. Needless to say, I ordered a second bucket to go. This time around, I felt pretty gipped. The place was grimy, the chicken wasn't cooked through all the way, and the people at the counter are rude. I heard there was a change in ownership. That's probably why my experience was less than magical this time around. I don't care if the guy was a meth-dealing murderer, bring back that fantastic chicken! I don't think I'll be making a trek back to ABQ any time soon, b***h. read more

When I was a kid and we'd drive to LI to visit with my grandparents for the weekend, we'd sometimes stop off at the KFC near their house and pick up a bucket of Chicken so we could have a late dinner when we got there. A few of those times - they were out of Chicken. This really pissed off my Dad, and he used to say "what is this place - a Drug front? How the hell do you run out of Chicken?" He also used to say that about the 7-11 down the street, but that was to try and get us not to go and buy comic books. I don't eat chicken anymore, but I just may stop at Pollos should I ever visit Albuquerque. From what I've read, they never run out of Chicken. Maybe my Dad had it all wrong... read more

I used to meet my Chemistry teacher from high school for lunch here, but I haven't seen him in a while. I recommend the chicken with ricin. read more

Food was okay but I found the two bald headed Mexican twins in suits very intimidating. They were just sitting down giving people the coldest looks. I don't think they even ordered anything! I had to order my food to go in fear they might pull a gun on me. Someone should have the manager beef up the security here. read more

Los Pollos Hermanos - Fast Food Near Me

This place is delicious. Dropped in while driving en route to Cali. Got the bucket of chicken as well as some sides. Chicken was crisp like an apple, juicy like couture, and filling like I just went to a dentist. The chipotle grilled corn was CHOICE as every kernel packed a punch. The salsa verde was a concert of flavors. But the best part? They must have threw in some blue pop rocks for dessert and that was just icing on the cake! I don't really remember much of what happened but going through my girls phone, we went to some kid's (think his name was Pinkman?) house party and just raved there for the rest of the night. Weird thing was we went back and asked for some more of that candy and the lady had no idea what we were talking about. O well. Definitely a 'must visit' if in the ABQ!!! read more

OK, so while I was in Germany I got this job for this company Madrigal Electromotive making air filtration systems. Benefits were good and Mr. Schuller (my boss) was pretty cool. Anyway, I had to ride a shipment for delivery to the U.S. and ended up in Albuquerque, New Mexico dropping off at chicken restaurant. Well I'm not a big fan of fast food, but since Mr. Schuller told me to check it out (and gave me $200 in chicken bucks) I thought what the heck. I was supposed to meet with either Gus or Max (the owners) but neither of them were there so I talked with the manager Cynthia (kind of a bitch..). Anyway I had the special and it was really pretty good (I can see why they have 14 stores..). The ambiance was a little lacking and there were some questionable people in (and outside) of the joint, but overall the food was awesome. There was this kind of intense bald guy just sitting there staring, I never saw him eat (weird huh?) Oh yeah cant forget the slushy's, the blue slushy were awesome; kind of like a frozen Monster drink only stronger. ( I had 3, come on they were free). I was kind of surprised to see all of the LPH refrigeration trucks in the parking lot, guess they ship a lot of chicken. So crazy thing as I was walking back to my rental car, another bald dude told me he would give me a $20 if I helped play a joke on his friend and stuck some magnet under his bumper. A $20's a $20 so of course I did it (big deal right). Well, overall a pretty boring trip to a pretty boring restaurant. The food was good, the slushy's were AWESOME, but the place was a little creepy. Worth checking out though, if your in the area. Think I'm going to go back in for one more slushy for the road, they're kind of addictive.... read more

Los Pollos Hermanos - I guess that the guy in the chicken outfit is their mascot (kinda stupid), not sure who the old dude in the wheelchair is.. - Fast Food Near Me

See all

I saw the commercial and decided to check this place out... The good news: plenty of parking. As a matter of fact, the lot was empty except for a refrigerated truck riddled with bullet holes, and what looked to be an unmarked DEA or FBI sedan. Service was friendly, and they had a Mariachi band playing a very catchy tune, and this turned out to be the highlight of our visit. We tried the Heisenberg platter, but the chicken smelled like exhaust fumes. I DO NOT recommend it. Not surprisingly, it looks like they have a cleanliness problem because on the way out, a "Vamonos Pest" truck was pulling up. I doubt this place will survive past September. read more

Los Pollos Hermanos - Fast Food Near Me

My lawyer Saul Goodman (super counsel) treated me to lunch at this chicken joint in ABQ. I had the Pollo Supremo Agave, a 1/2 roasted chicken marinated in lime, tequila, and salsa. It came with delicious tortillas. Saul warned me the salsa is a little "picante", and it definitely brought the heat. Super-fast and friendly service. A Mexican version of "Crystal Blue Persuasion" plays in the background. Why? No idea. But I liked it. If your bill is over $12 (which it was), customers get a 1/2 off voucher for "The Works" at the car wash up the road. Maybe the fare's not up to the level of the eateries in Santa Fe, but I enjoyed the meal, and the hectic pace of the workers and the medley of remixed oldie tunes that play on that jukebox near the cashier. read more

Los Pollos Hermanos Review 11.22.13: Intro: The owner was Ok the first two times I went there.I once requested that they have wi-fi there and he was really mean about it. I'm so glad somebody got rid of him. I hope this place crashes and burns. Food: I ordered a variety of things there that ranged from me being in chicken bliss to me being a mess in the bathroom. Service: See above. read more

Oddly enough I heard about this place from an old college friend of mine. The odd thing is that he was vegan, so I never really understood why he was always talking about this place and praising the owner. Anyhow, I decided to try it one night after I went to a crazy house party that had way too many tweakers for my taste. The chicken was perfection! The only complaint I have was the chick at the counter was really rude, and there were two bald Mexican guys that gave me the creeps. Next time I get invited to another house party by a guy named Badger, I think I shall pass and head over to Los Pollos Hermanos for some chicken and one of those awesome blue slushies. If you are looking for a late night pick me up, those slushies for some reason seem to be just what the doctor ordered! . read more

I liked the ad that shows a chicken being rotisseried and THEN battered and fried. I mean who does that? So I decided to hook up with a friend there but of course he was late so I started without him. Ordered the curly fries. Bad choice. In the basket they didn't look appetizing. Ate with Kick-Ass Cajun sauce. (Whoever approved that should kill himself, btw, it was awful.) Chicken was good; it's moist inside and the batter kicks like a mule. Very tight. Staff is attentive. In a strange way but attentive nevertheless. read more

I realize I'm really behind here, and I think it closed shop a couple months ago, but I have to say this is the best place in ABQ. Can't go wrong. Totally recommend going here for fried chicken. You can thank me later. read more

The chicken is so, so great! The biscuits are delicious too, and everyone who works there is really polite. Especially the owner/manager, Gus, who sets a great example for his employees by always putting his customers first. I even saw him personally get a free refill for a customer once! It's usually really quiet there, though, and occasionally there's a very strange bald man lurking around who kind of gives me the creeps. I have no idea how they're able to make the money to stay in business when they never seem to have many customers. read more

The last time I was there there was a very helpful manager by the name of Gus. I'm assuming he was the manager or maybe he could've been the owner. But, whatever. I told him my chicken tasted too salty and he replaced my chicken free of charge. The second batch was delicious. Even though the service is great, some of the customers are rude. There was this one old bald guy who kept demanding to see Gus all the time. For what reason? I don't know. Gus always kept calm and kept the situation cool. I always wonder what ever happened to Gus. I tried asking the workers there but they never want to talk. Seems a bit suspicious to me. Maybe Gus found a better job. Hopefully he's doing well for himself elsewhere. read more

I would have given this place a 5 star rating about 2 years ago, but it simply isn't the same as it used to be. I used to see the manager or the owner at the I40 location all the time. Very pleasant family man who would always help us out and made sure we were having a fantastic time. He looked black or maybe Hispanic or maybe Pacific Islander? I don't know I couldn't tell. I heard he sold the business and is now "swimming with the fishes?" No idea what that means. Maybe bought a yacht or something. Good for him! Anyway, I usually get the #4 with their famous fries (to die for!) So moist and juicy! Oh, and if you order a bucket it comes with blue rock candy as a hidden prize, like the ones you find in cereal boxes. I don't eat candy, but my kids and their friends seemed to enjoy it. They always used to go back for more. Overall, 5 star if the skinny black dude (or whatever) comes back, but still not bad and provides a family friendly place to eat! Thanks Los Pollos Hermanos! read more

I'm not really a fast food person. I think I should say this right off the bat. But being that this is fast food, I'm taking that into account when I write this review. The first thing I'll say is that the service is beyond exemplary. The first few times I went there, I was often greeted by the owner, Gus, who was an absolutely lovely man. He treated his customers as if they had just walked into a five star restaurant, frequently checked with each customer to make sure their meal was to their liking. He was soft spoken, very articulate and... not at all what I normally experience in a fast food employee. And that includes most franchise owners. I haven't seen Gus in some time and I heard a rumor that he had been killed in a nursing home bombing that was tied to the Mexican drug cartel. A shame. Gus was a staple at LPH and often we would frequent the place just to say hello to him. A great loss to the community, indeed. Another thing that I remember was the casual atmosphere. A lot of fast food places have a 20-minute limit and expect you to vacate once you have finished your meal. Not so in LPH. I remember one day in particular stands out in my mind. Two Mexican gentlemen in silver suits sat there most of the afternoon, didn't order anything.. Loitering, I suppose. And the staff were ready to remove them. I remember Gus saying "They're not hurting anyone. Let them be" or something like that. Now this.. this is extraordinary service. As for the food, well.. again, I'm not a huge fan of fast food but there is something about this chicken.. Spicy, zesty, probably the best fried chicken I've ever had and I spent a semester in Mexico! Maybe not as heavy on the piquant as most Mexican food but Mexicans like their heat. Americans not so much. This chicken reminded me more of a Chilean recipe my old roommate used to use when she made breading. Something about that sauce though.. what was it? Franch dressing? Never felt quite right after eating that. It was good, you know, i kept eating it. But I never felt quite right after. I guess that's fast food for you. And for fast food, I recommend it. read more

If you need to get a "fix" for some seriously greasy grub--this is your place. The service is stiff and uptight. The manager wants you to complain via the website when you are there in person? That's wack yo... More like a regional El Pollo Loco that reminds me of a place I seen on TV half a dozen times bu it isn't worth the trip if you do not live in The ABQ. If you are in the area maybe it's worth the generic fast food chicken fix. read more

The food is great. It could probably give KFC a run for its money. Gus the manager oversees all the details and the place is clean as a whistle. However the neighborhood is not the greatest. I went twice. Once there were these two twins (?) who just sat there. Also once there was this old bald guy with his son who kept calling people a "bitch" for no reason. Despite all that, the chicken is so addictive that its hard to resist. Its an up and coming franchise, definitely should keep on eye on this place! read more

Great Lunch! Chicken is super addicting. They totally welcome vegans. Free refills make it way worth it. The manager is super nice even though this bald guy keeps bothering him. He even cut in front of me once. I heard the mgr tell him to "do it". I think he wanted him to leave. Great chicken though!! read more

This is a mixed review.. The chicken itself is not very good, it has a metallic, irony, chemically tinger aftertaste it. However, it is strangley addicting as I keep coming back here for more (and this is another 10 min drive from the KFC near my house). Gus was the coolest owner/manager (while he was alive..RIP Gus). He was always calm, never yelled at his staff and always acommodating when I hav issues with their food. Actually I stopped coming here after the death of Gus and change of ownership. The chicken is not the same anymore for some reason. Also the bathrooms used to be clean, but seems like kids keep putting strange graffitti "Heisenberg" read more

Los Pollos Hermanos - Fast Food Near Me

Can't complain about the food - it's absolutely delicious. Can't complain about the environment - friendly, helpful workers who obviously are still being led by the example of the owner / operator who I heard tragically passed away volunteering at a senior care facility a few years ago. I think his picture is still up on the wall there. Luckily, they did something about the really weird stuff that used to happen in the parking lot. On two separate occasions, I saw random men just sitting in the car gawking and staring -- either into the restaurant or at other random men sitting in another car. Because of this, I just won't go back. The first time, I figured the dude that was sitting in his car staring into the restaurant was waiting for someone who had gone to get some food. After about ten minutes, someone came out with JUST a drink... he must have either had to go to the bathroom or he never heard of a drive-thru. Then, oddly, he messed around under the wheel-well of a parked car nearby. I dismissed it, thinking that the guy was a Good Samaritan who possibly saw that someone had a flat tire. I turned away -- I figured he was writing a note for the owner of the car with the flat. A moment or two later, I picked up something even more creepy. As they were sitting there in the car talking, and then again when they drove away, I saw a really eerie guy sitting in his car. He'd fix his attention on Guy Who Never Got Out, and then slowly, methodically shift it to Good Flat Tire Samaritan. It was creepy to be sure. But hey -- it's damn good fried chicken. I forgot about it, until... ... the VERY NEXT TIME I went there. I was sitting in the same spot of the main eating area when I noticed THE SAME TWO DUDES pull into the parking lot. GFTS got out again and walked back over to a different car (it may have been the same one - I can't remember), checked under the wheel-well AGAIN, then sulked back to his car and got in with Guy Who Never Gets Out. He never even went into the restaurant this time. Instantly, I went from Odd to Creepy Mode. This dude suddenly became GTFS -- "Great Tire Fetish Sulker." My mind raced. Maybe they were reliving their youth and letting the airs out of tires. But at the same spot twice? My thoughts went darker. Maybe they were transferring stolen merchandise? But what would they hide under a wheel-well? I thought about the dude watching them the first time. Maybe I should have paid more attention. The obvious option: drugs. But... nah. That would've been too easy. I settled on a male porn ring. I contemplated calling the cops, but thought better of it. I didn't want to get in the middle of it, and I DEFINITELY didn't want any gay porn king coming after me for revenge. I just went there for some good chicken... but that? Not worth it. Now? It's still just too weird around there for me. Can't find it to go back... even if the chicken was damn good back then. I just don't want to see GWNGO or GTFS again. The worst part? The old owner probably never knew that stuff was happening in the parking lot out there. He was a such a nice guy. Sad what happened to him. read more

What happened to this great place? This was a regular stop on my I-40 journeys through the ALBQ. It used to be so clean and the chicken was to die for! I remember looking out the windows and seeing the scenery seem to fast forward as you ate every juicy bite. Now it's run down and dirty. Had to leave last time, seemed like a neo Nazi convention was in town and some dude wouldn't shut up--every other word was "Bitch!" I used to love this place for the previous five years but I am afraid they'll be closing the doors for good soon... BTW the bathroom reeked of dirty diapers and someone had grafittied "Heisenberg" on the walls, whatever that is supposed to be... read more

Los Pollos Hermanos was a bit scary to us. My roomie and I went there for lunch. The owner Gus was very hospitable and polite, but a few of their patrons were obviously closing up a deal right there! Food was okay until I found a piece of a blue glass in my food. We just left without complaining... did not want to get in trouble with these vatos. read more

Good food but appears to have an inordinate number of missing person reports list this place as their last known whereabouts. Worth it, though. read more
