This is place is always perfect. The owner is really such a nice guy. His family helps out at the establishment from time to time, so it's funny when I pull up to pick up my food and a 12 year old is standing on a stool waiting to take payment. It always makes me and my partner giggle. Today tho, I ordered my food and dealt with the owner. I called in the order and he said "see you in 5 minutes" because food is always served up so fast. Considering I live down the street, 5 minutes is perfect. When I went to get my food, I saw an interesting dessert in the fridge. I asked "is that red velvet?" And he replies "yeah, a red velvet flan cake". After some consideration to not tempt myself today, I said "I'll have to try that sometime. It sounds amazing" and he says "no, you're trying it today" and proceeds to just throw it in bag. What a cool dude! I got home, the chicken was HOT, delicious, and perfect. No complaints what so ever. People in the area and gate keeping this place. Do yourself and try it. This place is what el pollo loco WISHED it was. read more

This place is usually good but I'm not sure what's going on with their birria plate lately. The birria tacos have been soggy, not crispy enough and why did my consome look like they tried to stretch it with beef broth? The new cooks are cutting corners or something. What's up with that? I guess I have to find a new birria place and just stick with the chicken when I go there :( read more

I go here for their crispy chicken tacos whenever I want to skip cooking dinner. they are on the east side in a weird parking lot, it's a brick and mortar with a chicken rotisserie cart outside so follow the smoke. The family is very sweet and they have great recipes. We love the chicken tacos and their chicken rub, whatever the chickens are marinated with we are adddicted. Great to have something so close to home yet so far away. read more

Pollos El Dorado - 3-piece chicken plate - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Whenever I drive by this place off Mountain Vista and Russell, the smell of freshly grilled chicken is almost intoxicating. This isn't your ordinary chicken shop. They have someone outside grilling the meat, and the chicken has great flavors of seasonings and char. Customer service was fair, but the tables were dirty and we had to ask the cashier to wipe the tables. She proceeded to come and spray the tables down with bleach water, and I had to move out of the way so as not to get sprayed by the mixture. There are not many decorations inside, and about 6 or 7 tables. Two 3-piece combos will set you back $24. The combos do not include a drink. Tasty chicken, beans were average and the rice was plenty flavorful, almost a chicken bouillon type seasoning. Will be back! read more

Quick, flavorful, family business. They grill over charcoal and have many combo plates available. Sides are typical but they have small red potatoes that are really good. read more

Pollos El Dorado - Grilled chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Pollos El Dorado is one of my favorite taquerias in Las Vegas. Their grilled mesquite charcoal chicken is divine, and it's my go to option whenever I'm in Henderson for the holidays and missing the authentic Southern barbecue that I grew up on in the 'Sip. Their crunchy chicken tacos are also packed with flavor and are another solid menu item. The service here is exceptional. I'm actually treated like family by at least one staff member or customer whenever I come. The restaurant is casual and unassuming and sits right on the border of Henderson and East Las Vegas. read more

Stepping into this little taquería feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home--a home where love is seasoned into every spice and memory lingers in the air like the faint smoke of roasted chiles. The aroma greets you first, warm and seductive, a mingling of charred corn tortillas, sizzling carne asada, and the citrusy brightness of freshly cut limes. It is the kind of scent that doesn't just stir hunger, but awakens nostalgia, longing, and a quiet joy. The tacos themselves arrive like small love letters, folded delicately in hand-pressed tortillas that are soft yet resilient, tender yet strong--the way love itself should be. Each bite is a harmony of textures: the crisp bite of onion, the velvet of slow-braised pork, the whisper of cilantro that lingers like a kiss at the end of a goodnight. The salsa, fiery and bold, is passion embodied--both thrilling and comforting, reminding you that love is not always gentle, but it is always alive. read more

After hearing about Pollos El Dorado from family, we were on a hunt for some home made feel food after grocery shopping. We were down the street and decided to stop by and see what they had to offer. I wasn't expecting to wait about 20 minutes for 2 whole chickens, 16 pieces total. We decided to have a taco each while we waited and relax since we hadn't ate, and boy were we surprised. Their tacos were so good, we could have ordered more but we chose not to since we came for the chicken! The staff was nice, quick and made sure they got our order right. The cook was outside being a baddy in the heat making our chicken, and the chicken came out in the time they promised! The price is worth it, the food is fresh, the green salsa is amazing. They also have a decent variety in their menu and it should be on your list to try. Come give it a shot for dine in, or pick up, you won't be disappointed! The restaurant wasn't too busy when we walked in, but it started to get busy while we were waiting and also when we walked out. The cashier and cook in the back communicated well, the establishment was clean and so was the bathroom. It is small, but it is mighty! read more

I always see the smoke coming from the parking lot and think "I have to try this spot some day". This is one of those places you can tell the food is cooked with love and heart. Yummy grilled chicken with excellent service. I can see why this place has so many regulars. You're treated like family when you walk in! Affordable and quick meal. A great option for when you don't want to cook. Most people ordered their food for takeout but we actually dined in. read more

Pollos El Dorado - Quesabirria plate with Cole slaw and Mac salad - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

See all

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Pollos El Dorado is an unassuming taqueria in a nondescript plaza on eastbound Russell Ave just before Mountain Vista. I've passed by it plenty of times without stopping, so when I was asked by my friend to take him from Henderson to the airport, I saw this location in my Yelp Bookmarks and knew that it was just off the route. I went with a bunch of tacos. Most of them were $3.00, but the quesabirria was $4.50. It was certainly worth it after I noticed how airy the outer tortilla was. They did make me ladle on the onion and cilantro myself, and it was essential in adding the ubiquitous flavors. I didn't get a consomé and I didn't ask, assuming that it'd be at an additional cost. Fortunately, it wasn't especially needed. I did order one each of all of the other tacos. The tortillas were cooked enough via grilling without having been soaked in oil, which made them less greasy on the fingers. The mild tomatillo salsa was balanced and made a great complement to every protein, and the lime was sufficient even though some wedges were a little dry. Out of the meats, the pollo was a surprising favorite due to the grill flavor and the large portion. The cabeza was also great, with fatty bits and rich beefiness. The al pastor was solid for a non-pineapple style, and the buche was pretty tender. The asada was surprisingly the blandest and most boring out of their proteins. I also appreciated the service. What I assume was a father-daughter duo up front handled everything well, including making sure whether we wanted cilantro and onions on everything, refilling the empty salsa station, and assuring us that we weren't overstaying their closing time since they were still cleaning up. Pollos El Dorado is now on my list of Henderson-ish go-to taquerias after this visit. I'll be back sooner than later. read more

Pollos El Dorado - Best chicken made on charcoal - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Very dishonest people. I went today and asked for tree chicken breast. Long story short: they gave me 3 1/4 of ChIckes breasts. I went back and I showed the lady their "mistake" and she said that"sometimes the chickens are very small" but she said "this one is very small so I will give you another one ". What I received it was another 1/4 of chicken breast. I believe this is misery to the core. Dishonesty way to conduct business and scare customer. very bad for them. Please proceed with caution when you attend this place or if preferable. About it at all costs. I have pictures read more

Our family is currently fixated on this place. Their chicken is super flavorful and whatever colorful seasoning blend they have it is addicting. Savory and a little tangy and with the flavor it's perfect. We love, macaroni salad, rice, beans, and tomato salsa. You can't go wrong with this place especially if time is tight and you want the family to have a balanced meal. Thanks so much! They're great here. read more

I called and ordered for pick up thinking this was the chicken joint round the corner of my house. I took a second look on my way to the shop when I realized I called a different El pollo shop. My GPS took me to a nondescript building which was barely lit and has a smoking grill just in front of its restaurant. Got off the car and the delicious smell of grilled chicken just enveloped me. Went in and was greeted by the owner, Rafael. Chatted a bit about his restaurant and I was on my way with some delicious charcoal grilled chicken and crunchy chicken tacos, a piece of tres leches cake. The chicken was superb! Very flavorful. And even more, the crunchy chicken tacos! First time I had them and I inhaled them! So good! There were 3 choices of sauces that came with the grilled chicken - the usual mild, medium and hot varieties of salsa. They have more than the charcoal grilled chicken to offer. There's all kinds of Birria - fries, ramen, nachos, tortas, sopes and even pizza! Need to try those in the coming days. This will be a go-to for delicious charcoal grilled chicken. read more

The food is yummy. Especially when there isn't gristle all throughout their meat! It's a good day when there isn't. The manager discusses the complaints so frequently, I guess that's just business. The service is difficult and inconsistent if you are only an English speaker!! Please be prepared to know what you're ordering and always check the order before leaving. The language barriers at this establishment will cost you. Their customer service from employees is incredibly disrespectful at those means as well. You don't tell a customer inquiring about the wrong order, "no, there is nobody you can speak to. We cannot assist you with further management." This business is biased to resolving issues with marginalized customers. 4/10 recommendation. Good food doesn't equate good service. Respectable business until shown otherwise after numerous encounters. read more

I visited Pollos El Dorado on July 4th (not a busy day for restaurants) and was blown away by the experience. First and foremost, the chicken was absolutely delicious, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The staff made me feel like I had known them my whole life, offering me options, telling me what's good, talking about family recipes and more. He was treating me with genuine hospitality. Highly recommend supporting small businesses. This place needs to be put on the map! read more

Shame on me for not reviewing Pollos El Dorado sooner. I was probably trying to keep this quaint little taco joint to myself. Better late than never. I know Pollos El Dorado is known for its charcoal-grilled chicken. However, I love this place for its birria tacos and delicious burritos. This restaurant is located at Russell Road and Mountain Vista, next to a mini-mart and across from the Terribles gas station. If it weren't for the grill master cooking outside, you wouldn't know this restaurant even existed. But don't be fooled by the appearance, because inside, this place looks like any mom-and-pop Mexican restaurant. On my last visit, I had the birria tacos, crunchy chicken tacos, and burritos. My kids, who are extremely picky, loved the burritos. The birria tacos were delicious, packing lots of flavor. Everyone was happy with their choices, and we look forward to going here again and again. It goes without saying that Pollos El Dorado is a traditional Mexican restaurant that specializes in charcoal-grilled chicken. However, their birria tacos and burritos are also quite special. read more

The sign out front says The Best Charcoal Grilled Chicken in Las Vegas. So, automatically you know that has to be true. This is Las Vegas, and if you know anything about this city, you know the signs here never lie. This is a case in point. The sign is 100% accurate. Best charcoal grilled chicken and my favorite chicken in Las Vegas. I've eaten here at least five times. Every time, the owner Rafael asks me if it's my first visit. Normally I like when businesses remember me, and many places i go to in Las Vegas do. But unless you need an alibi, it's also nice to be anonymous. I'm anonymous here. Lol. My Las Vegas friend Yugo recommended this place to me. Yugo is the foremost authority on chicken in Las Vegas. His recommendations are gold! But in my case, sometimes a recommendation isn't enough. My first visit, I ordered a chicken torta. It's made with a generous serving of chopped grilled chicken. A pretty good sandwich. After my visit, Yugo asked me how I liked the chicken.I told him I had a torta and I loved it. He looked at me and shook his head. You gotta get the actual chicken, dummy! Ok, he didn't say the dummy part but it was heavily, and quite rightly, implied. So, next visit I get the chicken and I'm flat out blown away. The chicken was being cooked right out in front of the restaurant. The smell was intoxicating. I was intoxicated. After Rafael asked me if it was my first visit again I ordered my chicken with french fries and refried beans. I don't know what I was thinking with the fries. All subsequent visits I got beans and rice. Way better backup to the chicken, and more useful with the accompanying tortillas. You can find good versions of most ways to cook chicken almost everywhere. But there aren't that many places that charcoal grill their chicken. And none that do it better.
