    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
