Pollo Express

I have wanted to eat at this place for at least 3 years and I finally made it, and boy was it definitively worth the wait. The steak burrito is SO GOOD and the half or whole chicken meal is so mouth watering delicious that I went back 2 weeks later to get the BOGO on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The chicken meal comes with tortillas, onions and salse which makes it worth the money. However the metered parking on 18th street is really bad and the side street parking around the restaurant is permit parking so be prepared to drive around for a parking space. Parking: Very limited parking.

Love this place. The dine in is still closed. We ordered the whole chicken combo and ate in the car. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. The rice and beans were fresh and just ad tasty.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Pollo Express, and was impressed by the wide variety of dishes they had available. From enchiladas and tortas to tacos and burritos, there was something for everyone. One of the things that really stood out to me was the authenticity of the dishes. The flavors were all spot on and true to traditional Latin cuisine. The portions were also generous, with plenty of food to satisfy my hunger. In addition to the tasty food, I also appreciated the convenient location and fast service. The restaurant was located close to my home and the staff were efficient and friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at Pollo Express Chicago and will definitely be returning in the future. The wide variety of tasty Latin dishes make it a standout option for fast food dining.

This chicken is the best chicken in town. I love chicken so much specially roasted chicken and I have tried a few places around Chicago and this is my first favorite one. I always recommend it.. the color on the seasoning is different and it taste different.. you won’t regret it. They also have deals on curtain days which is more awesome!!

I love this chicken to me currently the best chicken in the city very friendly and nice staff all around also the rice was good and the beansFood: 5/5

I've been wanting to try the distinctly red, Chicken Adobado at Pollo Express for the last few months. The reviews looked promising, so mom and I finally drove down from the Irving Park neighborhood and arrived at the post lunch hour, 2pm. We ordered the whole chicken adobado with rice, refried beans, corn tortillas, a roasted jalapeno, and two salsas. The portions were ample, the chicken was tender and quite tasty, plus, the refried beans was spot on. I have my own recipe for Pollo Adobado and make it often on my charcoal fired Big Green Egg. The Adobo chicken at Pollo Express was perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned and perfectly salted, but not juicy....this was probably due to the fact that our batch was made at around 11 am for the lunch crowd, which meant that ours sat around for 2-3 hours...no biggie. Again the beans were spot on, the rice was pretty good, the tortillas were super fresh, albeit, not handmade. We enjoyed everything but the salsas, as they lacked character. We also felt that both the chicken and rice needed just a little more zing. Lastly, we were super impressed with the all female staff and owner. They really take pride in what they do and keep the place clean and vibrant. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Oh, and one last suggestion; you should bill ahead of time or at the table. We were told to pay at the table when we placed our order, however, we waited around for a while waiting on our bill...only to be told later to pay at the register. See you again Pollo Express! We will be back!

Stumbled into this delightful slice of paradise and found one of the best burritos in Chicago. These guys know what they’re doing! Come of their state of the art grill setup and stay for the burritos.Takeout: Yes

Delicious food! The chicken is so good. Along with their fresh salsas, sides, and even drinks! Great service! If you are thinking about trying this place, DO IT! You won’t regret it. Bring cash!
