    Tacos, pastor and bistec

    First time trying pollo regio, Blanca at the drive thru was very friendly and helpful! My food was being made fresh, she offered me a drink while waiting! I'm excited to come back again soon! Food smelled so good the entire way home!!

    Half chicken dinner
    Bruce N.

    Have been passing this business on 1960 for the last 5yrs not thinking to stop. I'm more of a beef than chicken person but this place grills their chicken to perfection. Finally stopped recently and they def did not disappoint! Half chicken dinner 4.7/5 The grilled chicken has the right amount of seasoning and I must say it is a fairly juicy grilled chicken. The green sauce is creamy perfection and orange is peppery spice. Rice is good and charro beans are also great! The onion also is a nice touch to the whole taco.

    I have been coming to this location for years! 9 years off an on. Back I the day you could get that half chicken with two sides hot sauce and a drink for like 8.50. That same meal will cost about 12.00. Prices went up! Oh it comes with tortillas as well. I think they should offer something smaller than a half chicken. That's definitely a meal for two people. Unless you are really hungry. The chicken is grilled to perfection. Very flavorful and juicy. I am a fan. I also like their rice. I'll take their green sauce mix it in when the rice add some sour cream and you have an amazing meal. If you are in the area I suggest you stop by. Definitely better than fast food. Good way to get your protein in for the day. The staff is really friendly. Sometimes they will speak Spanish only.

    My coworker friend got me addicted to this place ever since she had me try some of her extra tacos. The lunch tacos comes with 5 tacos. You can mix your meat choices. I prefer the corn over flour tortillas, but both are good! They double the corn tortillas. The tacos come with cilantro, grilled onions, diced onions, and limes. We ordered the taco party platter for her bridal shower party at the office. We got the chicken, beans, rice, tortilla chips, red and green salsa, cilantro/onion/grilled onions/limes, and flour tortillas...plenty of food! We had so much left over after 9 of us. Everything is delicious. The tortilla chips are thicker and fried. The seasoning on them is perfect. You can eat it by itself or dip it in their salsas. The red is my favorite. I tried the cream cheese churro recently, and it's like eating a donut or funnel cake with a bit of filling. I'm so glad this place is near the office. You can order online, in store, or through the drive thru. They also deliver!

    MMAAAANNNNNN.....WTF do they be putting in this food!! It's so gosh dang delicious!! Like every single thing is flavorful. These charro beans mixed with those habanero pickled onions mixed in MY GAWD!! Make sure to get those habanero onions. They come on the side. Just ask for them. But, I swear somebody's abuela back there lol !!! I always yet the 1/2 chicken, double charro beans and corn tortillas!!! And why is the chicken so juicy!! I like they way they wrap it in that paper. Dang you Pollo Regio....y'all silently killing the game. Pollo campero, and El pollo loco need to take some lessons. Straight up!!

    Came here for the first time ever with my mom and let me tell you this place was awesome! The fact that it's a fast food place, I was skeptical at first. I've been to similar places, like Pollo Loco, and they have left me with a bad feeling. This place was different. I ordered the half chicken that came with charro beans and rice, and a steak quesadilla. The chicken was hot and juicy and well seasoned. The charro beans were freaking good, my beans came with a chunk of pork skin which made it delicious, and the rice was good too. The steak quesadilla was top notch, the steak was perfectly grilled and the cheese with tortilla blended so well together. I'm giving it 5 stars because my experience here was great; the Customer service and food.

That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10.

I would definitely recommend making a reservation, as it can get pretty busy, especially during Saturday lunch. There is also plenty of parking available across the street. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and felt so authentic to Mexican culture.

The Avocado Mollete and Chilaquiles Divorciados were both packed with so much flavor. Every bite was amazing.

It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
