Wonderful food and even better service! Everything my boyfriend and I ordered hit the spot and we were both fed (with leftovers) for 27$! wanted to try to whole chicken, will have to come back for that read more

Step off! I seriously can't describe how pumped I am to have found this place. You can see into the kitchen, which always makes me a fan, you watch the chicken being grilled, the food is delicious, portions are HUGE and the prices are CHEAP! We had the Chicken Nachos - couldn't even eat half of them. We also had the Chicken Smothered Burrito - wow! Good amount of spice, the chicken is fantastic and the salsa & guac are really good. I seriously wish this place were closer to my house because it might become my regular hang out. read more

See all

Carry-out quesadillas made with grilled chicken are extremely rare. The guacamole is always same-day, freshly prepared from whole avocados. The staff is efficient and dedicated to a delicious order every time. read more

Wasn't expecting much from a Mexican food joint run by Asians, but man was I wrong. I had the quesadillas and they did not disappoint. The chicken was flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed the super hot sauce that came with it as well as the spanish rice. It's kind of pricey for what you get, but the good flavor makes up for it. Despite being really busy, the food came out pretty efficiently. read more

Real cheap looking place but the food is pretty good and they seem clean. The staff didn't speak much English besides the menu but if you stick to the menu you should be alright. read more

I don't even know what to say about this place - except that I am stunned that anyone gave it a five-star review. BUT - don't get me wrong, I could absolutely see myself returning for another bean burrito on a particularly hungry day. I ended up here by total chance, craving a burrito but unfamiliar with Denver - so I eagerly veered into the parking lot after looking Pollo Picante up on Yelp while lost near Colfax. It wasn't exactly on the menu, but I just ordered a bean and cheese burrito, with a side of guacamole. I got exactly what I asked for, although it is a slight pet peeve of mine when places put the cheese on the outside of the burrito - but whatever. The guacamole was surprisingly fresh, and the salsa verde that came with my order was great - super spicy, with a slight sweet kick. I couldn't get enough of it. The red sauce was slightly congealed, so I didn't take any chances with it. This joint definitely isn't the type of place you'd take a lady out on a date to, but if you're hungry, not looking to spend a lot, and absolutely need a burrito, this place ain't half bad. read more

Was told of this restaurant today and decided to stop by for a burrito. Purchased a smothered beef (steak not ground beef). It was excellent. A bit spicy but I like spicy. Smothered with tomato, cheese, lettuce and a tomato. A side of guacamole and sour cream. Burrito was excellent. And the ever serve to Mexican Coca-Cola. YUM! Great service. Give it a try. Not a fancy place but down to earth everyone's restaurant. read more

Didn't have a great experience ordering take out from here. The nachos were drenched in cheese and over cooked chewy chicken as well as the flautas. I was told my order came with rice and got home and there were French fries instead. The guacamole looks and tastes like it is made from a packet. I was surprised because the reviews on here were decent but its safe to see we will not be returning. read more

Pollo Picante - So much cheese with no other toppings then chewy overcooked chicken - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Date(s) visited: about 1 time. Food/Drink: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Parking: 5/5 "MEXICAN FOOD WITH A 'TWIST' OF CHINESE!" Food/Drink: The other day I ordered a platter of chicken wings and was taken back by the taste! They were HOT yet had some other "spices" added to them that really made them different from other wings I've had in the past. The wings were still "joined" together which allowed for two pieces of chicken to be savored in each tasty serving. They were heavily ladened with sauce and were given to me in a pretty generous portion. My other half ordered the Broiled Chicken upon a suggestion made by the manager who said it is a popular item. It came served with rice, beans, and was topped with a couple of sauteed pieces of Chinese cabbage. As part of my job as a #Foodie :-) ... I try to be as honest as possible without being offensive (which I REALLY don't mean to be...Seriously...)...But, I have to say the chicken was a little "dry" and hard to bite into :-/ I later on had a craving for tacos so I ordered from their $1.50 menu and bought two tacos for less than $2. The tortillas were a good size for small tacos yet, the chicken once again was very dry and lacked flavor. Service: The man who owned this place is Chinese which actually surprised me since most Mexican restaurant "owners" I've met in the past were usually Hispanic. It allowed for me to connect with him on different topics about Asian culture and cuisine. I have to say, he was a very nice man who truly made our experience there one worth coming back. He was very friendly, personable, and provided GREAT customer service. He definitely helped in making me want to push up my ratings about the restaurant overall! Atmosphere: Decent...It was clean when I walked in... Price: The prices are pretty good for the generous portions of food they give. They also have a $1.50 that allows for person to pick different items ala carte with the highest price for any item being no more than $2. Parking: Parking is located for free right in the front of the restaurant. MY THOUGHTS? I really wish I could give this place a higher rating but have to say that their Broiled Chicken which my other half and I were so excited to try was quite dry. I do enjoy speaking with the owner and found him to someone who does understand the concept of how to actually "treat" his customers to make them feel welcome and comfortable about dining in. I will definitely give this place another shot if I happen to be in the area since I do like their wings ($3 bucks and some change...you can't go wrong!). I think I will try some other things on their menu such as say...Catfish Nuggets since I love Catfish (?) RECOMMENDATIONS: Their Chicken Wings are REALLY good! I love the sauce they use on them.... :) read more

Employees only speak Mandarin and barely English....it's a Mexican restaurant... Chicken was overcooked and not much flavor. The nachos were stale, I'll probably never come back read more

Great food love the chicken and they have catfish nuggets at a mexican joint....i will return again and again.

This place is awesome, for a Mexican rotisserie and they are Korean. It is the best hands down in Colorado. They have a really good deal for the full chicken special, congress with plenty of rice, beans, tortillas, and hot hot sauce read more

Service is fast. Salsas are good and the chicken too. I cant say much about the rice and beans since it was alright. Was kinda sad about that since its what ties the meal together. Prettt clean... they have music playing and im glad that they require a key to the bathrooms. Not as good as rico pollo. read more

The chicken Wings are awesome hands down i will be ordering for the next game!! Also the nacho's are great !!!

Service is fast and prices are cheap, but the food is slop. You get what you pay for, that's for sure.
