Ordered the carnitas torta and let me tell you they are not skimpy with the fillings. Carnitas were very tender and had plenty of tomatoes, lettuce and avocado to the point with every bite food was falling out. Now I know why they provided a fork. Service was friendly and given with a smile. Easy going quiet environment to enjoy your meal. read more

I ordered the Quesadillas it was awful mushy cold I think they made it up prior and reheated it it's supposed to be a little crunchy it was bad the chicken had chicken joints in it and bones I almost chocked. Did I mention it was mushy. I was not even worth on star but I had to rated it. This was bought at lunchtime read more

Food was very good except there was a grilled onion that I didn't expect :,) I got the 4 piece meal with refried beans and rice

Ordered food at the drive thru, no one came up to us for 15 mins not even to let us know it'll be some time. We left. If it will take a while, at least warn customers when they are placing an order. Very frustrating. read more

This time the service it wasn't that great because the I order 4 tacos, eat here inside, and they have to go, but the word thing that they gave them in a little bag Another thing was the restroom it was clean and there wasn't paper to dry your hands. read more

Pollo Regio - Lobby - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

The food was exceptional. The service was amazing. Caution it will be very crowded at lunchtime because the food is excellent. The assortment of toppings were amazingly authentic Mexican. The atmosphere was simple and appears to be "fast" food-ish, but not cookie cutter. read more

Pollo Regio - Pick up available - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

I guess I had a great experience because I don't own a Tesla. The key factor here: Good chicken, good value, no frills fast service. Convenient and good food. I was here around 7 PM on a week day, not busy and very clean. read more

I would recommend avoiding this business at all cost. After waiting 15 minutes in the drive through for my order. I very kindly asked the drive through worker why it took 15 minutes for my order. She shrugged her head said she wasn't the cook, and walked away from the drive through window. When I went inside to speak to the manager, the manager did not speak any english and it had to be translated via another worker. Absolutely nothing was said or done about the poor and terrible customer service I was subjected to. Do yourself a favor and spend your time and money somewhere where you are treated with courtesy and respect. read more

Pollo Regio - Jazmin A. is rude, inconsiderate, and not professional in any capacity. - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Normally I love this place. As we walk over from charging the Tesla I am greeted by that yummy smell of the chicken cooking. Yum So, do you want the bad or the worse? No chicken (40 minute wait), plac eis disgusting inside. Sink is backed up in the bathroom, bathroom is blechhhhhhh, and finally no refried beans. OK, so apparently this is "No Pollo Regio"... what a disappointment. read more

This is supposed to be a fast food restaurant but the quality of the food and the attention to customer service says otherwise. While the food is of traditional sit down with the family have a great meal style, it is folk like Max and Brittney and Xochil manning thee restaurant, that makes going there worthwhile. I find myself grabbing takeout sometimes 3x a week. You will receive generous portions of whatever you order and I've tried most all on the menu. If your first time considering different, Pollo is a great first time! read more

Omg so slay the food was amazing,great staff and over all a 10 in my book 10/10 recommend it for anyone hungry, love the chips and salsa

My husband popped in here while our car was charging at the Tesla super charger. Collin Street Bakery's deli was closed and we were hungry. We got the chicken tacos and absolutely loved them!! By far the best meal I've had in our car during a road trip. I already know that this will be our go to spot when driving between Austin and Dallas and needing something to eat. read more

Food was actually pretty good. Nice looking place and nice employees. Only problem is immediately after eating my stomach bloated up and I spent the next 2 days pouring water out of my ass. Not fun at all. Not sure what was bad. The meat was cooked and tasted great. I'm guessing it was the nacho cheese which was kinda thick and looked as if it had been reheated from a prior day. Either way spending your weekend on the toilet is not worth the taste of the food. I'll give it 4 stars for the food and 1 Star for the pain and suffering. Equals out at a 2. I will try again in the future as I'm sure it was a one time thing read more

Pollo Regio - Carne Asada super nachos - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Food is always good but new policy no restroom for customers because they don't want Tesla charging people to come in. Even if you order a meal they argue with you and don't let you use the bathroom. read more

Excellent location. We've met Mari the manager, she was very attentive and in top of the store. Store looks very clean, food was excellent and well presented. Definitely coming back. Thank you! read more

Came in around 7:50 PM and there was no chicken which is unfortunate considering pollo is in the restaurants name. Place did not seem well kept when looking around, I don't normally care but my grandma made good note of it. Cashier was rude to my grandmother so I tapped her on the shoulder and we left. Will not be coming back. read more

Weary road-warriors, stumbling in for a hot meal. After a long day driving on vacation, we stopped at pollo regio and we left recharged and happy (if a little bit too full!). This location is closed to Indoor dining which was a bummer so we quickly improvised and had a "picnic in the parking lot". Half chicken plate was superior as was the tostada Siberia. The chicken tacos excellent as well. Super courteous service and supplied us with plenty of their magical salsas. Looking forward to this chain opening indoor dining. read more

Great chicken, tortas and salsas. I am from California and this is way better than Pollo Loco.

Used to love this place but this location disappointed. Customer service was lacking, the staff barely cracked a smile or said a kind word. It was as if they didn't want to serve me (yes I had a mask on) and then they messed my order up but to their credit they fixed it. The food however was on point as usual. I recommend the food to customers but the staff needs to lighten up. read more

Food was delicious and their customer service was outstanding! I had to go to Waco for work. I had been there a week and was sick and tired of burgers. So, I remembered I had passed this restaurant on the freeway driving in from Dallas. There are several of these restaurants in Dallas, so I knew that this yummy chicken is what I needed. It's mesquite grilled with Mexican rice, charro beans and tortillas. They give you TWO salsas with the half chicken meal. Try the avocado-based green salsa. It's not spicy, but it's delicious! I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for some yummy, non-fast food tasting fast food, this is the place to go. Also, try their churros. Yum!! P.S. Sorry for not posting pics. I was so hungry, I forgot to take pics prior to inhaling my food. read more

We've visited this location several times. The food is usually delicious and fresh. I especially enjoy the fresh chips & salsa! The only issue we've encountered is there have been a couple of instances where they are out of items such as the chips and different salsas. I will continue to visit this location and hope Pollo Regio is here to stay! read more

Great tacos for good price! Get the pastor and barbacoa tacos! Customer service is amazing and so is the food. New favorite taco place in waco. Going here more than any other place now. Get the orange salsa to mix with the green sauce on the tacos. Wont regret it read more

Tried this place for the first time during lockdown while they were only allowing drive-thru. It took them a while to get the food out, but that's no big deal. Our order came out completely messed up, Chicken salad had fried chicken and burrito had guacamole even when we explicitly told them to not include that. No offense but the lack of communication can probably be attributed to some of the workers who don't seem to speak English. Maybe once this place starts doing Dine-in again it'll be better with orders. read more

Martina was in the drive-through and she was awesome. My order was correct and it was delicious!

Little spot just barely visible from I-35. Hubby decided to stop and try it for us for dinner tonight. Holy pollo - it was sooo good!!! The chicken was seasoned and grilled perfectly. The beans were the bomb! The avocado sauce was too spicy for me, but that smoky red sauce was perfect! We will definitely be getting dinner there again. Highly recommend! read more

Love the chicken tortilla soup. Probably My favorite thing to eat when I don't feel good or it's chilly out.

WOW is the first word that comes to my mind , I came for a conference at Baylor University which lasted well until dinner time. Some of us wanted something better then KFC and healthier. One of my friends recommend this place. Fresh chickens ,salsas, pretty good side dishes. We jumped on it. We got there and we were right away greeted with some nice smiles It was pretty busy. ( Good sign) We are from LA. , if it's not busy it's not worth checking out. Amada the cashier took our orders ( nice gal ) and the price was reasonable. Did I mention we kinda followed the smell from a block away. That smell of goodness in the air . So the four of us made ourselves at home and took advantage of the salsa bar Our order was brought to us by Cecilia. The manager. Very polite . , pretty quick. ( nice gal) I think Texas is way different then I was made to believe , Real good hard working people Let me say this meal hit the spot. The chicken was so juicy and the beans were awesome. Bacon!! Yes just like home. This place rocks. I wonder if they do catering ? Awesome read more
