Portions are HUGE and affordable. 3 people can share the nacho platter. The baked potato is pretty decent and rice and beans are hot and fresh. Chips come with hot red salsa and green guac salsa. Extreme tex-mex food, not authentic, but filling. The guacamole tastes a bit too artificial and over seasoned and the pickled jalapenos lack the kick. 3 stars for decent food at low prices. read more

I was introduced to Rey del Pollo by my husband who knew how much I missed El Pollo Loco since we moved from San Antonio to Houston. Rey del Pollo has amazingly delicious food! I have not had everything in their menu, but their whole chicken and Plato Discada are two of my favorites. Most of the time we take the food to go, we've eaten in the restaurant about three times and service isn't the best but it's decent. The guys are actually a lot nicer and friendlier than the girls, that's something I've noticed. The place has always been clean inside and the outside area. I def. recommend this place :) read more

Th best chicken in town and at the best value. You can feed a family of four for $20. Ditch the KFC and get some real chicken with real flavor, Rey Del Pollo is the best! read more

New to Houston had been wanting to visit this place before...Messed up our order, cook came out with pieces of chicken in his hand asking which piece we were missing as well as waitress. Very unprofessional way of handling a very easy situation. Made us feel very uncomfortable and ruined our appetite. Never going back! Food wasn't all that great! Definitivamente no son el Rey del pollo! read more

Called and ordered my food they said 10 minutes I showed up on time. After I paid they tell me what I ordered wasn't available when they could've told me before I paid. read more

Horrible service took over 5 minutes to be waited on then charge for a plate I did not want Don't recomend Wanted to charge maybe because they didn't have many customers read more

They have awesome service and best burger! The people there are so nice and inviting, just wish I could eat there every day!

Never been but my mother just have me a while chicken and it's finger licking good!!! Tuesday special 2 while chickens for $12. Can't beat that! read more

All I can say is try the chicken. On Tuesday, buy one chicken at 13.99 with sides and get another. That's 16 pieces for 13.99 and it's delicious. Hickory smoked on site. Each chicken comes wrapped in butcher paper. So grab some napkins and dig in. read more

I have been to this place a handful of times and it seems the service gets worse and worse. I actually like the food, and the prices are great but each time i have eaten here i have literally been at the table for over 30 minutes without a waiter passing by once! It gets frustrating. I like coming to this place for the tacos but i have made up my mind that although the food is good i will not be going back. It is not worth the long waits and bad service, and i usually go here off peak hours when it isnt busy at all, so if you are the type of person that could care less about service than yes i do recommend to go and try the good food, but if you do care about service dont waste your time here. read more

Muy buen pollo pero las tortillas te las dan crudas las calientan en el micro no puedo creerlo!

Service was good and fast. Food came out fast as well. The only thing I didn't like was the short ribs. They where almost all fat and no meat. I know the cook saw it. They should have never serviced them. read more

Foods really good. Service could be a bit better but it wasn't bad. It's also cheap compared to most places.

Love their red salsa and caldo de pollo. The other menu items are good as well. Attentive staff and good prices for quality Mexican food! I used to live in this area and now live in Katy but make it a point to eat here when I'm on this side of town. read more

This place was great. The grilled chicken burger was great and huge. Will be back for 2 for Tuesday for sure.

Order some food to go via phone. By the time I arrived food was coming out the kitchen, I work across the freeway so it was pretty fast. Great service, greeted at the entrance. The deal I got was cheap for some good chicken. 5 people ate out of our order. read more

Went back today. ordered another torta. again it came out cold. meat was not even warm. It's not hard to serve a warm sandwich but i guess here they still don't know how. read more

We love the food at Rey Del Pollo but we were disappointed last night. We ordered a small queso and it has changed. Last night it was Rico cheese which is sold at movie theaters, ball games and other sports events. Cheapening quality shortens the life of a great restaurant. Go back, we love the food, but not a cheese that can be bought at SAMs. read more

Love this place! The owners are usually present and the staff is great! You get a lot for your money and they have a good variety on the menu. Whether you dine in or take it to go this restaurant always delivers great quality. I have visited three of their locations and have had a good experience at each one. I recommend the burgers!!! read more

I've been here b4 never been as bad as today. You would think that over the years they would improve some things but no , service is still horrible . Tell me how does a place that calls themselves KING OF CHICKEN and specializes in chicken run out of chicken . It's Saturday night we are greeted very kindly .Take a seat and 2 different servers come greet us . My family gets their drinks I order my drink and our meal when we are told there is a 30 min wait for chicken ( this should of been our cue to leave ) we agree to wait I mean we are already there. 10 min later my husbands meal arrives still no drink for me I remind the server and she still doesn't bring my drink . No update while we wait patiently and no drink for me We are never checked on to see if we need anything 45 minutes have passed by people that arrived after us get served CHICKEN!! We then decide to finally leave. Surprise!! We are being charged for a drink we never received I was disappointed maybe a bit pissed . To hear my 5 year old say "where's the chicken why we leaving I didn't get to eat no chicken we've been waiting a long time"is very sad . I mean come on it's the weekend you gotta be prepared. read more

The service here is some of the worst I've ever had. But I can forgive that if at least the food is good. It was not. My chicken that I waited 20 mins for was still bleeding and cold. Under cooked food is hard to over look but I can normally do it if its just meat. But chicken is different. There are much better chicken places to choose from. read more

very good chicken and very friendly staff! also had a delicious (and gigantic!) horchata
