Driving thru town & needed to stop for a bite & ultimately decided on this spot. Definitely did not regret. Got the pollo salsa with beans rice & tortillas & the salsa was the absolute star of the show. The rice was nothing special but combined with the chicken & the salsa it's elevated. The beans were a pleasant surprise, was expecting refried beans & got charro beans and they were bomb af. If I'm ever in town again I will be running this back read more

I got the chicken burrito, lamb burrito and asada burrito on my way to Big Bend. I liked the chicken burrito best. It was flavorful and juicy. On my way back to Dallas, I stopped here again and got chicken quesadillas. It was the texture of lasagna and you'd certainly need a fork to eat it, Lol. The chicken was good though. They prepare everything fresh, which means you might have to wait a few mins to get your food. The drive thru option is great. There's an empty parking lot next to this restaurant where you can stop and eat if want to stay inside your car. They only take visa and Mastercard. And cash! read more

I've only ever had the chicken here, but both versions they offer are amazing. And you're in and out quick!

AMAZING!!! You can smell it from the car. The smell matches the taste. The rice was undercooked. It was hard but the beans were delicious. read more

Pollos Asados Rio Grande - This is not the chicken taco plates we are used to. NEVER AGAIN!!! - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Stopping thru town wanting authentic tacos. Decided to go here because of the Yelp. It did NOT disappoint. I got the four pollo tacos. I was shocked they cost $11 but, wow, they were worth it. We also got a Carne Asada burrito and a side of beans. The beans were different than expected. But incredible. We would absolutely go again except we are just passing thru town on our way home to Cali. Wonderful place. read more

Literally amazing! This is a go to place for my family and I because we can also depend on it for good food. The #3 (chicken in salsa) and the #11 (ribs) are our go to menu items. read more

The food was very good as usual. I have been there several times and I have never gotten a bad order. The Jamaica drink is very good as well. Service was very quick and they greeted you with a smile. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who has never eaten there before. read more

I don't even have words........ I've had tacos from all over, and I was mind blown. Got the lamb, barbacoa, and chicken burritos. These might be the best burritos/tacos I've ever had........ Authentic, flavorful, not salty but not bland. Man, just PERFECT read more

Best Pollo asado in town. The service is always friendly and quick. Everything is always cooked really well and the prices are quite reasonable. read more

Quality isn't there like it once was. I went from eating there two or three times a month to once or twice a year, and every time I felt like it was a mistake. They had the best tacos for some time, now it seems like mostly gristle. read more

Food is delicious! They're always well staffed so, though the lines get very long, it moves quickly. Simple menu, fairly priced.

The food here is always fresh, hot and delicious. My favs are the roasted chicken and the Asado quesadilla! The only downside is if you speak or comprehend no Spanish you may have a little difficulty communicating your order from time to time but the meals are numbered so that helps a lot. I've been to other roasted chicken places and this one blows them all away! read more

This place is awesome to buy the whole chicken with charro beans and rice. Comes out to around $20 for all of that. It's a quick drive thru and not far from downtown Odessa. read more

If you're looking for some place to eat, stop here. It's soooo amazing. The chicken is sooooo good and that green salsa is FIRE. it is a lil pricey but go on Tuesdays for their special read more

Wow! Everything about the food at Pollos Asados Rio Grande is spectacular! This place makes some of the best (if not the best) chicken that I have ever had. My girlfriend and I were in Midland for the holidays. I grew up in Midland, and she is from California, so I decided to take her on a mini road trip to the Monahans Sandhills. After a morning of sand sledding, we decided to stop in Odessa for lunch. This restaurant was highly rated on Yelp and we both wanted Mexican food, so we opted to check it out. Over her past three trips to Midland, I tried several times to get my girlfriend to see the light and realize that Mexican food in Texas is better than California Mexican food, but had been previously unsuccessful. After we ate at this place though, I think I finally changed her mind. We ordered: Chicken quesadilla: This was one of the best quesadillas that I've ever had. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and tender with a robust and spicy sauce. The cheese was gooey and the tortilla was crispy. Each bite was made even better by dipping it in sour cream and the green sauce (more on this later). Half chicken meal: The chicken was juicy, expertly seasoned, and had the perfect amount of charring on the outside. The grilled onions that accompanied it were really tasty as well. The chicken also came with beans, rice, and tortillas, so you could make your own tacos. That green sauce: As good as both dishes were, they were made even better by the amazing, spicy, creamy green sauce that came with the meals. Out of all of the salsas and hot sauces that I have tried, this green sauce is easily my favorite. If they bottled this, I would order a case of it. In case all of that was not enough to convince you to check this place out, they have really good horchata as well. If you have not already tried Pollo Asados Rio Grande, you should stop what you are doing immediately and go get some of their amazing chicken. read more

Papa Asada is awesome!!! Anything you order is great y'all won't be disappointed. Mention my name and you'll get a discount. J/K haha!

I've eaten in a lot of places claiming to be 5 stars that were actually not 5 stars and maybe a 2-3! I would have never have eaten at this place had I not been with a friend of mine. It is mostly a drive through with inside dining for maybe 3-4 in very tight quarters! This looks like a good place for a drive by shooting, But the food is amazing with mouth watering flavor!! Def worth dodging a bullet! read more

Delicious chicken! Great flavor and grilled to perfection! Juicy, smoky flavor! Comes with a grilled onion as well. Great charro beans, they sell mexican drinks, and american. The pollo comes with warm tortillas, rice, beans and salsa. Definitely worth a try we come here all the time, I like it better then the pollo loco in Ojinaga. They sell ribs, tacos, and a few other things as well but I haven't tried it yet. read more

This chicken has excellent flavor and a medium level of spiciness. I do wish the skin was crispy, but that just might not be their style of cooking chicken. The green sauce is to die for - smooth, creamy, and clearly made with roasted green chilis. It had a very unique flavor, not your typical Mexican pollo green sauce. An unexpected highlight of the meal was the charred onion that came with the whole chicken. It was excellent dipped in the green sauce! It's very cheap too - $26 fed three hungry adults. The whole chicken came with corn or flour tortillas, beans, and rice. We also got the chicken quesadilla which was delicious despite tasting more like Italian food than Mexican. The flour tortillas are the perfect balance of soft, crispy, buttery, and chewy. There is only one small table inside and most of their business is drive-through so I'd recommend taking it to go especially because it's in a bit of a grim neighborhood (we got asked for cash twice in the parking lot during our 20 minute trip). Regardless of the inconvenient aspect of this place as a road trip stop (have to eat in the car) I'll definitely be stopping through on my next trip through Texas! Que rico! read more

The chicken has a great flavor here. Always stop when I'm in the south side of odessa. I took my kids dinner from here and all I got was "how come your just now bringing us this". They absolutely love the chicken, rice and beans. The quesadillas are great also. The ribs are ok just to salty for my taste. read more

The chicken in Salsa was awesome! Had a good kick to it:) The establishment was small,but busy. I am glad we stopped by. We had been on the road for 14 hours and we all wanted something that wasn't fast food. Totally worth the stop:-) updated read more

shit was bussin', the horchata was so good i got the lamb birria tacos to go with that shit and it was smack in' like a mf

Nothing extraordinary. Very friendly staff, but not the place to drive out of the way for. read more

Pollos Asados Rio Grande - Pollo con salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Rude people The lady in the drive through was so rude Will never go back and the guy who brought the food out just as rude I don't know what there problem was yesterday read more

Probably THE best chicken in Odessa. Prices are a little bit too expensive but it is so good you'll forget about the price!

This little gem of a drive-through cannot be missed! On Tuesdays, they offer a special for the purchase of a whole roasted chicken with sides of rice, beans, and tortillas, you get another 1/2 chicken for free. Their salsa and jalapeño-avocado sauce is excellent as well. Prices are very low. I have also had their carne asada tacos and they were excellent. Great little place to get your Mexican food mojo going. read more

First time to eat here and its great.... Chicken tast really good and so do the beans... Great prices and fast service... Will be coming back again... read more

I found a hair in my food. And it was in between the melted cheese so it could not have been mine. The worst part was how rude the lady was and she didn't want to give me my money back. read more

During yet another conversation about the lack of good food in this area, our coworker from San Diego recommended this place! You can kind of tell from the sketchiness of the outside that this place is good. Only gripe? Long wait. Call ahead and order but you may wanna brush up on your Spanish..... cuz only some of the staff speaks limited English and the entire menu is in Spanish .... Just resort to pointing at pictures like we do. Order the carne asada potato and the carne asada taco plate with lots of the green sauce. The potato is hella buttery, the carne asada meat Is yummy!! Oh and for namesake the chicken is great too!!! I took a star off because just like everything else here its actually a drive thru place and there is no place to really sit (or park for that matter) and eat except for one little table inside. Plus honestly you wanna savor this food at home. Just a warning- the potato is so buttery, the last Time we ordered it, the whole thing soaked thru the bottom of the brown bag and the potato fell on our car floor. That was a sad day. Lol. read more

This place in a hole in the wall place, no place to sit and eat, only take out and drive thru....and always packed.... because their chicken with salsa is tha BOMB!!!!! Its worth a wait!!! Can't wait till they move to new location where you can actually dine in!!! But if you are in Odessa this is a must try chicken place to go!!! read more

We were on a road trip a few weeks ago and found this place on Yelp while driving through town. I got the half chicken plate and it was amazing. The chicken was seasoned very good and cooked to perfection. Also the pinto beans were probably the best ones I've ever had. I was shocked at how much food I got for the price. It was definitely the best food of the road trip. I'm just mad that I live over 1,000 miles away otherwise I would be a regular here. read more

This is some of the best chicken I've ever had. Weather it's the Pollo, the Tacos, carne asada or the ribs they're always on point. Even if the line is long they get your order quick. Its a little divey but the food is delicious which is why o was going to give this place 4 stars. Drive thrus are a big thing is Texas so in that regard I gave it five stars. Este es un Lugar verdaderamente chingon! If they had a place to sit and enjoy the comida estuviera mas chingon! read more
