This place has a simple menu. Usually means they specialize in what they have. It's absolutely the case here. The flavors are fantastic from the chicken to the beans and rice and even the salsas. I am impressed. From California I'm pretty spoiled. This is the place for authentic, yummy food! read more

What a clean Pleasant little taco joint. The menu is very simple tacos enchiladas and drinks maybe some rice and beans if you ask for it. I came in late it was close to closing time but they were happy to help quick to serve and the food came out piping hot. I mean so hot that I could barely pick up the tortillas, maybe I'm just a wimp who knows. The asada tacos were very nice and very meaty the El Pastor Taco with flavor flavor flavor. I'm sure if I live nearby this would be one of my go-to taco stands. It is very clean and very well taken care of. Give it a shot read more

I've never had chicken like this...I almost wish I hadn't eaten it because now I'm craving it and I don't know if I'll ever get to have it again! (Out of towner). I'm going to revisit this place on the way home and buy 5 whole chickens and somehow put them in a cooler to pack up for snacks later. Mmmmm....snack chicken. Ooh and free Christmas special waters. read more

$5 for two chicken enchiladas and some dang good watermelon water! I'd come back for the water alone, but next time I'll for sure be trying out some tacos. read more

I loved the al pastor tacos, with some warm beans and rice, and a nice jarritos to quench my thirst after enjoying such an warm meal. Also the cashier is my girlfriend, yep she's pretty gorgeous and cute, so great service for me ;) read more

Pollo Azado - Latin American Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

See all

Very friendly, fast.i had a steak toastda,very good husband had breakfast burrito,huge! He loved it .

Amazing chicken! My favorite place for a quick lunch or whole chicken which I usually take home for a simple tasty meal. Enough for 2-4 depending on your appetite. This is one of the only consistent places to eat in GJ. My wife and I spent a few months in town on business and of all the places in Gj, I found only two restauraunts to be consistent ;Pollo Asado and Bin 707. Two completely different types of eatery but both share one of the most important qualities in the food industry consistency! Go see Jose for a fast fresh meal! A great guy and a better cook! Thanks Jose we will see you next year! Dan and Laura read more

This place lit up my life for the afternoon. I had 1/ 3 chicken plate. Amazing chicken. Little salty but perfect in corn tortilla. Traditional mexican flavors. Beans and rice delicious. Some of best salsas ive ever had. Oh and must try the agua de pina. So refeshing and perfect. Love this place read more

This little joint has some absolutely delicious tacos and chicken meals. We get take out here quite frequently. I'm kind of a pick fellow about my Mexican food so that's saying something. It's fast, tasty, and simply delicious. Give them a try. read more

Excellent! Stopped here on my way back to Denver and was delighted by the food. My boyfriend and I split half a chicken and two tacos (carne asada and the beef tongue). Everything was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in town. read more

My friends and I could literally eat an infinite amount of their carne asada tacos. The people are so nice and are super understanding. They've got great fresh squeezed juice and their salsas are VERY good as well. This place makes me happy. read more

The chicken was absolutely DELICIOUS! I'm a total foodie and I'm telling you order the chicken. This place is a gem.

Friendly staff. Great tacos. Love the grilled jalapeño and green onion that come with the meal. Would highly recommend this place

My son and I had one of each of the tacos. The carne asada and pastor were my favorites. The grilled pepper and green onion were a nice touch. The two hottest salsas had a good flavor and good kick to them. The horchata was so so. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the place. We usually pick this up and bring it back to the office to eat. Their drinks can be a bit pricey though. read more

Great tacos! Very similar to tacos in Mexico. They aren't very big (normal street taco-sized) but the carne asada tacos were amazing. They also offer horchata and Jarrito's. read more

Pollo Asado is a simple establishment that I would imagine would appeal to college students or single people looking for a simple weekday or weeknight meal. They offer a 1/4, 1/2 or full chicken dinner. The chicken is grilled in a very flavorful red chili sauce. All of the meals come with beans and rice and tortillas. Salsa in three varieties of heat are available. I enjoyed the simplicity of the filling meals. Something you might find at a lot of places in Mexico as standard fare. read more

I was expecting a lot more based on other reviews. Small tacos and not good. The rice had little to no flavor and the beans tasted as if they came out of a can. The medium salsa tasted like a can of tomato sauce. I will not be going back, it was my first time and last time. read more

Best tacos in GJ. I love their al pastor tacos. Their carne asada tacos are also really good. The tacos are always fresh and well seasoned. The restaurant is clean and has a fair amount of seating. The price is reasonable and service is great. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food is Decent , but the girl that works there messed up my order , I placed the order though the phone and ordered about 20 tacos to go & rice and beans , when I got there I paid and left . Only coming to realize I got 20 enchiladas instead of tacos . Please check your order before you go !! read more

Delicious and cheap. Got a whole chicken for $20 with beans and rice and tortillas and it easily fed 3 people with a little extra.

Pollo Asada is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Grand Junction. They are a very basic setup and the decor of the place is mid 80's at best. I always get meals to go. There tacos are awesome, I get 4 at a time. Make sure you get all of the sauces and the pickled onions. My kids love the whole chicken dinner. It really makes for an easy dinner on the way home that is always great. NOT TACO BELL. read more

Shhhh... Grand Junction's best kept secret. Like other reviews, the decor is not why you come here. The food is absolutely fantastic. We had tacos al pastor in Sayulita, MX a couple years ago and this place took us right back there. Not a lot of choices... But what they offer, they do very well. The chicken enchiladas were a hit with our kids, along with cheese quesadillas. All of their sauces are great, but watch it- their spicy salsa WILL bring tears to your eyes! Amazing food, amazing service and an absolute must if you're local or just passing through looking for authentic Mexican food! read more

I love this place. They do one thing really well and I appreciate that. The chicken, rice and beans are the way to go. The sauces are also delicious. read more

Great chicken here. A simple menu & generous portions.

Great family meal to go with all the fixens, make your own taco bar at home. A frequent, The wife is working and I'm cooking dinner, stop.

I love this place. The chicken is so well seasoned and never dry. I also love that they have different salsas to choose from, depending on level of spiciness. My go to place for chicken! read more

I checked out this place based on good reviews from Yelp. For me this place did not deliver. I ordered the quarter chicken and 2 lengua tacos plus a drink. It was worth $16.00. The prices have gone up. The chicken is very dry and there was very minimal rice and beans. You get one roasted pepper and one roasted green onion. For the tacos, there was only a few pieces of the lengua plus almost no picadillo on it. And the lenguas are bland and tough. The girl at the counter I think is mute since she neither smiles nor talk back to you. No customer service skills at all. What a rip off. Will never ever going back to this place. read more

Food was great. Very limited menu, but what they do serve is awesome! Thanks Yelp! The 1/4 chicken is enough for one person.

Good food.... lovely folks.... ask the owner about using something besides styrofoam please!!!!

Delicious and authentic Mexican food. The chicken enchiladas are amazing and so are the tacos. Definitely some of the best carne asada in town. Prices are great, meals come with delicious pinto beans, rice, and a roasted jalapeño. One of my favorite lunch spots! read more

Best chicken tacos in GJ hands down. I love their hot sauce(the dark one on the bottom shelf) the perfect mix of spicy and flavorful! I order the whole chicken for my wife and myself, and it is plenty for dinner and leftovers. Need more tortillas tho. "Juicy chicken taco perfection"-me read more

My staff and I absolutely love this authentic Mexican cuisine. They offer the absolute best tacos and chicken in town, served with rice, beans (not re-fried) an onion and a jalapeno. We're absolutely addicted and must go there at least once a week. read more

Chicken tacos are good and the beef tacos are great! Very friendly people

LOVE LOVE this little place...I never stray from the chicken plates. I know they have a few other things on the menu, but when the name is "Pollo Asado", the best thing on the menu MUST be pollo asado! I wish more people knew about this place so it keeps in business. The perfect quick pick-up dinner on the way home because they are quick and they give you a lot of food for the price. The chicken is marinated in a red chile sauce and grilled to perfection. You get grilled green onions and jalapeno as well as tons of tortillas, rice and beans. They have a refrigerator with different kinds of salsas to take as well. The hot salsa is amazing! read more

They do one thing right - chicken. Perfect for a simple and delicious meal of either whole, half, or quartered chicken, or some enchiladas and tacos. Quick, easy, fantastic service. Simple decor, but easy to look past and enjoy the food. read more

I wouldn't give one star if there were a chance. We used Yelp to find a lunch spot a week ago and was impressed with the rating. Well, they must have had every family member write in a good writing cause it was nothing worthy of 4+ stars. We should have known when we walked in at lunch and only 3 customers. There was a limited menu 1/2 doz items. Ordered cheese enchilada and beef taco, virtually no other items available except chicken. They were both tasteless, beef was little chunks of tough tasteless meat. Had to be the worse "Mexican' food we've ever had. Beware, it's not what you think. Maybe their chicken is better. read more

My boss bought tacos for lunch. I. Am. Hooked! Amazing street tacos. I am going to need to try the other things they offer veacisr of they are as good as the tacos I may never have taco bell again haha. Service was fast. Prices were fair. Food was great. read more

I had the quarter chicken with beans and rice. The chicken was delicious! The grilled peppers and scallions served on the side were an unexpected treat. The homemade salsa was awesome. I would definitely return when coming to the area again! read more
