This place is fire. Try the Salsa en pollo for like a Venezuelan street taco or get the charcoal chicken. My new favorite joint!

Whenever I come to Pensacola to visit my son, we order from Mr. Pollo. The chicken is deliciously juicy and well-seasoned, with the added flavor of charcoal grilling. We always order the whole chicken with large sides of plantains and black beans. One of my favorite restaurants in Pensacola! read more

Never disappoints¡! Just fresh and simple. The grilled chicken is deep on flavor and trimmed right,no fat. Plantains always soft sweet. Black beans and rice are what they are but the pico de gallo is oh so good and fresh, it is deserving of its own spot as a side. The verde hot sauce is not overbearing but just the right touch of heat and compliments the chicken. The aguadito soup is heavenly! Rice chicken and cilantro come together as a soup that satisfies!!!! Have eaten here a dozen or more times and really, this place never disappoints and the staff are all oh so friendly!!! Mr Pollo is a true gem read more

If you feel like trying something different and delicious you must try this place!! Had the tostones and chicken with plantain rice and beans!! This place is a must try I hope they can move to the beach at Pensacola in the future because the Latin music with the taste of their food will go perfect with the beach vibes!!! read more

Great chicken! Best Yuca in area! Family owned and operated Peruvian rotisserie chicken will convince anybody not familiar with this cuisine to keep coming back. read more

Mr. Pollo has excellent customer service and excellent food. I was visiting Pensacola from out of town and found this gem on yelp. My toddler son had just fallen asleep as we pulled into the parking lot so I was hoping he'd wake up as went inside. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with beans, rice and plantains. Everything was delicious. Tastes fresh and homemade. The dipping sauces for the chicken are really good too. Unfortunately my son didn't wake up so I had to ask to pack my food to go. My food was packed up for me and they also helped me out to my car with my food. I felt so grateful to them for helping me out while I carried out my son. If I ever come back to Pensacola, I will definitely be back. I highly recommend Mr. Pollo for great taste, quality and service. Good luck Mr. Pollo and I am eternally grateful!! read more

My wife and been begging me to go to Mr. Pollo, but i was hesitant because the restaurant that used to be in that building was always gross and in disrepair. I was so surprised whenever I walked in the restaurant. The restaurant had been completely remodeled. The design and cleanliness were both five stars. Now for what most people care about, the food. My wife and I split the chicken combo for two, which include a whole chicken and two sides, and my son got the kids chicken with one side. We definitely could have all shared the chicken combo for two because it was so much food! I normally am not a fan of rotisserie chicken, but I couldn't stop eating! The two sides we got were mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had at a restaurant! We will definitely be back because the food is so incredibly delicious, and also because the family that ran the restaurant was so sweet. I loved the family vibe. Mr. Apollo is definitely a new family favorite read more

See all

It's SO GOOD!!! Can't beat the authentic flavor & the prices are great too! We will for sure make this a regular spot!

Excellent service, excellent food, they offer a military discount, and they play great music. They just got a new regular.

This chicken is bomb, the prices are good, they messed up my order once, the Mac isn't very cheesy and they don't give enough tortillas. Still worth it. read more

We ordered the Aguadito Soup and were told that it had shredded chicken, rice with cilantro. What we received was a greasy bowl of green broth, minus any evidence of chicken. Not happy since we chose Mr. Pollo over another restaurant in town for soup on a chilly FL night. read more

If you're looking for some "Latin" cuisine, the food here is simple and basic but sooooo delicious! The Tostones are a must try!

For heavens sake, don't pass this up! If you are not familiar with charcoal chicken, think Rotisserie, but the best flavor you've ever had. I agree with the other poster, this is the best chicken in Pensacola! Personally I like the black beans and rice to go with it, but they have other options too. Their crema de pollo soup is an ultimate comfort food, and tres leches for dessert and you will leave a happy happy customer. Manuel and his family have hit a home run and I hope they have great success! read more

Tried there food at a pot luck for my job... it was delicious . I will most definitely eat again.

Great chicken and their sauces are spectacular. I always get 2 chickens to go. You can just show up and they are so quick to give your food. Don't have to call ahead! read more

I love, love, love this restaurant. The staff is friendly and they put out food rapidly. My ONLY hang up is that this place stays packed without enough seating for their guests. Either get there early or late or just grab it to go. My favorite dish outside of the chicken is the plantains though all of the food is greasy and clearly hand made. read more

Excellent service, clean and the food is scrumptious. Came to visit Pensacola and found a great place to eat with my

Always delicious--fresh ingredients, different combinations to choose, friendly proprietor--a win all around.

Love this place! The best chicken I have ever had, very affordable, owners are great people. If you want a great dinner stop by Mr. Pollo and order the whole chicken dinner for the family. read more

Food was fantastic. We happened to be driving right by this place and were very happy. Great chicken and sides. Stop in!

Have wanted to stop by for a few weeks and finally did today. It's actually pretty big inside, considering. Would have had no problem hanging out and eating inside, but I had to get home. Anyway, the nice lady at the register asked me if it was my first time and came out to give me a big run down of the menu. Super helpful and friendly. I wanted to try everything but opted for 1/2 chicken and two sides (black beans and yuca). Chicken: one dark and one white piece. Very juicy and flavorful. Not earth shattering, but extremely good for fast-casual dining. Wish I got more. Black beans: standard issue. Really good, as good as I've had. Yuca: it's fried, heads up (I was curious what it would be, given it's just listed as "yuca" lol). But really good. Very different from most starches, I really liked it. Overall, really good experience. Will definitely be back. Pensacola needs variety, come help these guys out! read more

Everything was AMAZINGLY good. I had the 1/2 chicken plate and my other half had the same. We both agreed that it was the best chicken we've had in a while. This is a must try! read more

Oh my word!!! Delicious food. Will definitely be back to try something else but the chicken 1/2 and potatoe salad was great.

Awesome food- authentic -and great staff. This is one of those old school treasures that make Pensacola a special place to live.

Great, delicious, simple food executed perfectly. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was creamy and didn't taste cheap or artificial. Cole slaw was freshly made and again, just so much flavor. I will definitely be back here! Super friendly and helpful staff as well! read more

Really friendly family style restaurant! The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. The rice and beans were great and the yuca was really nice too! The staff continually asked how everything was and made sure we were happy. read more

The BEST chargrilled chicken in town, hands down. Reminds me of south Florida's Pollo Tropical (but better). Be sure to get extra garlic cilantro sauce -- I'd buy it by the bottle if they sold it!! Friendly staff, positive involvement in the local community, and delicious food. I've never had anything here that I didn't like. You wouldn't expect a Latin-inspired restaurant to have potato salad that tastes like your southern grandma made it for the BBQ. Even the Mac and cheese is good! My favorite side, though, is the yuca dipped in the garlic sauce. 10 stars, highly recommended. read more

Can't beat the 1/2 Chicken dinner with the two sides , It's plenty and delicious . Service is fast , best Chicken I've had in years , Plenty of choices for your sides . read more

Hands-down the best food I've eaten in a really long time!! Great service delicious nd quick never disappointed.

We were in Pensacola visiting and were looking for something to eat and I saw the reviews and first was like nah.. I'm so glad I changed my mind. We ordered the whole chicken with macaroni and cheese and a house salad. Great taste on everything we had. I wish I lived closer. Definitely worth the try! read more

Blown away!! All the hype I read about this place was on point. Not only was the food delicious but the entire staff was very friendly. I will be returning for sure!!!!!! read more

My husband and I wanted some "real food" for lunch, but didn't feel like cooking. I had seen this place had gotten rave reviews on Yelp before, so we decided to give a try. We split the Whole chicken combo for Two, with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Everything was simple, but very good. The unmarked variety of sauces were very good but be careful-one is quite hot! The only downside was the literally "dumpy" parking lot- I wound up parking in Subway's lot since it was a quick To-Go order. Food this good deserves a better location! Will be back, though! read more

We had Mr. Pollo cater an event last night and it was fantastic. From the initial call, to picking up to getting it home and eating everything was perfect. We had more than enough food and will have leftovers for a couple days. Maria, Eduardo, Carlos and the complete staff are always outgoing and treat you like family. read more

Great food! The chicken is wonderful. Sides did not disappoint. I highly recommend. The tostones were fantastic. The place was packed but was worth the wait. The prices are unbeatable. read more
