Much better than fast food. Everything seems authentic. Only downside is they need better beverage choices. Fed the whole family for about what I paid for fast food and the food was twice as good. read more

Went back a week later at lunch & ordered the same meal with soup as before. Everything was OK on our 2nd visit, but the whole chicken was noticeably smaller & slightly overcooked this time -- so much so that I thought my wife ordered all dark vs the normal mixed. As a result, we got only two plates worth from this order vs three the first time. Maybe it was just a one off, so will try again & update my review. read more

Their chicken is super tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff is always friendly and happy to see you. Nice local restaurant.

I listened to the hype and am so glad! Ordering online is a breeze so give that a try. When I went to pick up I had one foot in the door and they were greeting me by name?! Wow. My food was super hot, fresh, and ready to go with no wait. We ordered the full chicken, mac and cheese, rice and beans, and every sauce they had. AMAZING!!! I can already tell we will be ordering often. This place is a true Pensacola treasure! read more

Very good roasted chicken, and quick service even during lunch hour. Friend had soup and enjoyed that too

Stopped by on our way through after reading the yelp reviews. Wonderful local place serving rotisserie chicken with a Latin flair. Venezuela owned. Counter service. Waitress was super sweet and helpful. Chicken was moist and delicious. Fried plantains delicious. For dessert do not miss out on the very creamy flan. Heaven! read more

Wow what a spectacular foodie experience! Absolutely delicious chicken, moist, perfectly seasoned and the sauces were wow!!!! read more

Mr. Pollo - Quarter chicken meal!!! - Latin American Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Meh. I expected a lot. Chicken is decent but not better than Publix or chicken I make at home. Got the combo for 2 with 2 "large" sides. If those are large, and meant for two people, I hate to see what a regular side is. Jello cup size? Beans are very good, but should come with the onions on them, not in a teeny side cup. Mac is ok. Very salty. Sauces are really the reason I ranked them so high, and even then you don't get enough. And they charge for a teaspoon size cup extra. I won't go out of my way to go back. read more

I was craving food from my favorite Peruvian chicken restaurant which is all the way up in Maryland, so we decided to give this place a try and it was DELICIOUS. There was no line on a weekday at dinner time and we were able to get seats immediately. The chicken was perfect, and so were the sides. This will definitely be a staple for when I visit Pensacola again! read more

Great food , friendly staff , food was delicious and worth every penny . Thank you , you will not go wrong here .

This place is excellent. It is far from boring chicken. We are big fans of the sauces and marinated onions, they pair perfectly well with the chicken. The plantains are so well cooked, Mac and cheese is a crowd pleaser, and the potato salad is really good too. We generally get extra plantains as they are our favorites. read more

I love eating the food at Mr Pollo, it's always fresh, the chicken is so much better than the rotisserie fowl at Sam's or Walmart or most places in town, because they use those gross GMO triathlete yard bird pretenders, not so at Mr Pollo, these birds were raised in the sun eating pico de gallo and sipping on margaritas because they melt in your mouth, no strange textures like GMO chicken either, the charcoal they smoke it in gives the chicken a very good flavor, and combined with the black beans and rice, pico, plantano, even the homemade sauces and flan are very very good. the usually have passion fruit juice, or mango or another excellent caribbean juice choice available, and the prices are fair especially for the quality and portions, highly recommended. read more

Amazing food. Great and quick service!!! Don't expect an extended menu, but what you order will taste great. Highly recommended!!! Will go there again. read more

Amazing! Whole family enjoyed a family meal for 4 - whole chicken, 4 sides, tortillas and delicious green sauce. We will be back!

The only problem with Mr Pollo is that it's so good it makes me never want to cook again. Love this place!! The sauces, the chicken, the sides, all so good! read more

Best chicken EVER!!!!! EVERYTHING is soooo flavorful here and you can tell they put there heart and soul into their food. I love this family and eat here about once a month. I've had a few bad experiences and they have gone over and beyond to make things right. Definitely recommend :) read more

A whole body orgasm. AMAZING. Has only been open a month. This would be an amazing chain that I would visit wherever I went. A MUST try. So good I will take some home for a family gathering. Chicken is tender as a mother's love. The sauces are authentic the sides are GREAT read more

Mr. Pollo - All the good stuff - Latin American Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Had been waiting to try Mr Pollo. Impressions - modest entry, dirty floors, no one cleaning tables except patrons with napkins, loud. Perhaps not their fault, as this is one part of a three part building, but the outside of the three was also filthy, rundown, old crates laying around, trucks with flat tires, branches from trees and leftover refuse, etc. What I would describe as way low rent. The lack of cleaning going on, given the diners leaving was troublesome - even McDonalds does better. Food - I think we chose poorly - chicken rice bowl and tostones. Chicken rice bowl was very wet with too much broth from the black beans. Chicken shredded on top was mush and icky. Plantain side was good. Tostone was another with mushy blended chicken on top of plantains. Plantains plane would have been OK - the stuff on top - even with the "mayonnaise ketchup" sauce? I would recommend anyone trying this place - go with the chicken and sides - do not get salads, or bowls or tostones. read more

The chicken is amazing; flavorful,juicy. The mac n cheese is best I've tasted since moving here. Green sauce...spicy! Brownie tastes just like Little Debbie brownies; not worth $3.50, go buy a full box for $2. Mashed potatoes have something added in them like sour cream; I didn't care for them but that's a preference. Black beans, just black beans! Fries, just fries! Loved the very creamy cole slaw. Prices are very good, minus the prices of the desserts. Every person that works here is amazing; super nice and very helpful! read more

This place is the shit. I got the tostones plate and it was soooo good. My husband got 1/2 chicken and rice and beans. We both loved our entrees. My daughter also loved my husbands chicken and the Mac and cheese. We will be back read more

Delicious! Just ate here for the first time while on a short trip to Pensacola. I had the quarter chicken and two sides with black beans and rice. So good--highly recommended. Chicken was so moist and flavorful. Sides great, too. Friendly and helpful service. Will be back as I visit often. read more

Found this little gem during a recent trip to Pensacola. If you like great food with no gimmicks. This is the place to go!

Just went yesterday for the first time after being recommended by someone at Ulta. The menu isn't very big and they serve only chicken as a meat but don't let that steer you away because their food is AMAZING! We got the combo for 2 which comes with a FULL chicken (yes full) and 2 large sides which was only $17!! It was delicious and the owner was SO NICE! He came to our table to make sure we were doing good and to ask how our meal was. We will definitely be back to try something new! read more

This is the place to go for some good ol homemade char-broil chicken!! I'm from Miami and I must say, Pollo Tropical has nothing on this place. Yes, it's that good!! I ordered the half chicken plate with black beans and side salad. They make AMAZING finger licking sauces to go with the chicken and they also make their own salad dressing. The staff is super friendly, I will definitely be back. If you like to support local, give them a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

It was soooooo good. The chicken was tender and juicy. Even the breast was juicy and not the least bit dry. The rice and black beans were on point and I'm pretty critical of rice and beans coming from an island background and tasted many different kinds. The sweet plantains were perfectly fried to perfection. The customer service was also wonderful. They were very genuinely sweet and didn't judge me when I asked idiotic questions. Please try this place. You will not be disappointed. If you are something is definitely wrong with your tastebuds! read more

Went there today at 1130. Packed. Great Food and fast service. I had white and wife had dark meat chicken. Beans and rice were very good as well. Plantains were great, will try the yucca as well next time. I will definitely be going back. Will try the chicken with veggies rice bowl next time. read more

Great, healthy, charcoal chicken with tons of homemade sides to chose from. Make sure you try the black beans!

Had the half chicken, black beans and rice, and Pico de Gallo. The platter came with 2 sauces and chopped onions was it? Not sure but they were all delicious. I put the dark Green sauce( has some heat so pay attention) on the black beans and rice and it was great. The pico was spot on and wonderful, I could probably fill up on this alone. The chicken was outstanding, moist, flavorful, tasty and darn near falling off the bone. The skin was crispy and tasty. The parking is tight, the place is clean, welcoming and had nice music playing. The staff is friendly and genuine. For under $10, I had myself a truly unique, and incredible meal and I plan on return trips. This place is a must for chicken lovers, and people looking for something other than the same ole same ole. read more

Ate here this afternoon with my wife. I got there early so I "snuck" and had an order of yucca and the Aguadito soup! Oh my I was in heaven and instantly transported back to South America. The owners are actually from Venezuela. (Wished they offered their country's food as well) The chicken was so moist and tender with a good crispy skin. It tastes just like the "pollo al carbon" that is everywhere in Central and South America. We had the plantains and French fries as our sides with the combo for two. Great value for the price!! Will definitely be back again! So do yourself a favor and try it out!!! Buen Provecho. read more

This place is awesome. Got a combo for 2 to go. Chicken was cooked fresh while I waited, Mac and cheese and black beans and rice were off the chain. Best $20 meal for two I have had in a while! Great people and a very nice clean restaurant! read more

Kiss all your fast food chicken places goodbye because THIS is the place to eat chicken! Super friendly service and flavorful food down to the sauces they serve on the side. We're definitely coming back! read more

By far the BEST chicken EVER. If you haven't been here ....GO!! Employee are so nice and food is delicious. The combos, the bowls everything is excellent! read more

The staff was all very friendly. The restaurant was clean. I had the chicken with yuca and coleslaw. All three were great and I could drink their sauces. I had been meaning to go for a long time and now I will be back soon for sure. read more

Some best grilled chicken I have ever had. Great rice drink. Friendly staff . Highly recommend! Love the beans and picagala

Really good Central American food. Char grilled chicken mainly chicken and rice bowls and salads and all kinds of sides like black beans and rice plantains yuccas etc. Reminds me of Costa Rica food when I go down there. Fast and friendly people and very clean. I recommend it. read more

First time trying Mr. Pollo since my husband and I moved here. We went in around 3:15pm and it wasn't very busy. We both ordered the 1/2 chicken with two sides. I have to say, this is the MOST flavorful chicken I have ever had. It was so good!!! The plantains were great as well! They have a great selection of beverages and alcohol. The price was beyond reasonable for the amount and flavor in the food. Go give it a try now! read more

If your looking for an explosion of flavors, greasy ingredients and a healthy mea this is your place. The owners are very helpful, genuinely nice and have a passion for food. The chicken is so delicious. The soups are one of a kind. They make fresh squeezed juices that are not found anywhere else in the area. Try it you won't regret. read more

Venezuelan owned and operated. As a Panamanian, I am always looking for "home flavors" in my beautiful Pensacola. This place does the trick. The yuca, plantain and sauces are authentic and delicious. I had the bowl which was very good. Can't wait to try their famous rotisserie chicken. read more

Hands down the best Peruvian chicken I've had in my life. My son is a picky eater and enjoyed his meal. He said it tasted homemade

I don't mind the disposable plates and utensils. I don't mind the no frills decor. I do appreciate great food and owners that care. I had the combo here with 1/4 chicken with salad and rice/beans. It was a perfect meal. The chicken was delicious and tender...the beans were tasty. The owners were attentive and friendly. There is a nice vibe in this place! read more
