We had such a great experience at Don Pollo. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. It's one of those places where families feel comfortable right away. The staff treated everyone with kindness, and the whole environment felt family friendly. We catered for 12 people, and every single person left happy and satisfied. The chicken was packed with flavor, juicy, and cooked perfectly. You could taste the freshness in every bite. The sides were just as delicious and completed the meal perfectly. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. It's hard finding a place where both the food and service leave such a strong impression on a big group, but they nailed it. We'll definitely be back again for future family gatherings. read more

Not 4.3 stars. The combo had chicken, rice, and beans. The chicken tasted store bought, a little dry but it was okay. The rice was very bland. The beans tasted like it was from a can. The ambience was dim, and it smelled like dog food. I wish I was joking but I thought I should try this place out because of the high reviews but I really regret it. I wish the place was cleaner, I wish the toilet worked and the soap was working. Skip this place. But I hope they improve read more

Mom and pop shop that makes good food also there beans are amazing. Definitely recommend for lunch.

I've been going to this small venue for many years. I came across them when I was living in Fullerton. I don't know why there's any negative reviews. It is a small Mom and Pop hole in the wall chicken venue. To this very day all my family members order chicken from Don Pollo and I still continue to do so for any dinners and parties, I hear people rave how great the chicken, salsa, and potato salad taste. I never had any issues with them so far. PRO: *Chicken is tasty *Potato salad is great *Rice and beans are good *Tortillas are good *Salsa is good *The owners are great, friendly, and personable people *Great customer service *Unreasonable prices *Good parking *They take cash and Card CON: * The venue needs an upgrade as it is a bit old read more

Don pollo has been in the area for many years and it doesn't disappoint. I did the chicken mean and it comes beans, rice, salsa and some potato salad. I loved the rice and the potato salad very tasty. The chicken can be a little crisper but still tasted well. The place may look a little outdated on the inside but its definitely worth a try. read more

Great value! Support this local gem when you have a chance else we'll all become slaves to the growing list of corporate big chain dining places popping up around this area read more

The food was okay, but it is obvious this business is struggling. Felt bad, but it seems they are on their last leg. Only combos, as none of the other menu items were available. This may have been a good choice in the past, but you may want to pick another choice on this one. read more

Incredible food, very reasonable pricing, and phenomenal service. Blows Juan Pollo and El Pollo loco out of the water. 10/10 would recommend. This place is a local gem. read more

Great chicken spot. Really great chicken and sides, for a very fair price. We come pretty often for the mini family pack and regular family pack. Highly recommend. read more

It was a Sunday and I called to make sure they were opened. Yep, until 9:00. It's located in a strip mall behind Harley Davidson, next door to Chicken University, a Korean fried chicken place. I stopped by after a Ducks hockey game, and picked up the $15 family pack; a whole chicken, 3 sides, tortillas and salsa. It's not on the menu but there's a poster on the front window. The chicken was pulled from the spit, and it was piping hot. The sides looked small, but surprisingly it was enough for 2-3 people, especially with the tortillas. I really liked the sides, especially the potato salad. It was really creamy. The rice was a bit dry, but still good. The chicken had a nice citrusy flavor. Juicy and moist. It was REALLY GOOD. I would stop here again. I'd pick up an extra salsa. One isn't enough. The mild is not spicy at all. Dinner was plenty for 2, and was $17 and change, tax included. read more

I ordered over the phone and within 15 minutes it was ready. The chicken is amazing! Pair it with the rice and beans on a flour tortilla, add some salsa and BAM! Everyone's happy!! read more

Mugroso means dirty in English and this place fits the description of a dirty-filthy place. I ordered and could not get my self to eat the chicken just thinking about how dirty this place. Shame on the ownership, not sure how anyone thinking of eating chicken could eat here. SCARY would not be surprised if someone eats chicken from this place and drops dead after. People leaving reviews of 5 stars are either blind or use to the filth. A business that serves food and is not clean is not a good combo. read more

Thoroughly impressed!! My entire party of 8 who got to enjoy this delicious food cannot stop raving about it. I hosted a dinner party for my grandpa's birthday last month. My family loves Juan Pollo, but I wanted something a bit closer since we live in Fullerton. I am so glad we picked this! Everything was phenomenal. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The beans were perfectly cooked and very tasty. I was worried about the potato salad. I am such a huge fan of Juan Pollo's and any competitors never tastes as good to me. Let me tell you, this was the best potato salad ever!! SO DANG GOOD! I tried a bite of the rice, also yummy. I wanted to keep my starch as the potato salad, since I had a few servings ;) I did not pick up the food, but my husband and grandpa said service was great. Everything was top notch, and we are now loyal customers. read more

Amazing simply amazing, so much flavor, move aside pollo loco, juan pollo and all you fake pollo Rostizado franchises.

We were so excited and on our way from downtown fullerton to get some rotisserie chicken and it is our first time trying out this place and the hours says they are open until 9:00 pm but we came at 8:30 and it was closed. You guys should update your hours on yelp please so there is no confusion on first time costumers. read more

Food is delicious, affordable and authentic. The service is always fast and friendly. I've ordered for parties several times and it's always a hit. I love this local spot and highly recommend! read more

Excellent Chicken spot for a great price! The owner is very accommodating and kind. The chicken reminds me of Juan Pollo but less dry and even tastier. The rice and beans along with corn tortillas and their homemade salsa are perfect additions and their Lunch special #1 is a great value meal for lunch. read more

Little hole in the wall that serves really great deals on whole chicken and tortillas. Great Value and great service. If planning a get together stop by and pick up a chicken to bring. Loved it! read more

Stumbled upon this as I was in the mood for pollo but didn't want to drive all the way to Juan Pollo. Ordered directly from Yelp and the order was ready for me by the time I got there in 10 minutes. Great family pack specials, the chicken was tasty and the salsa had good flavor and a little kick to it. Definitely recommend! read more

Don Pollo - 2 1. Two Piece Meal - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

I am done with this place. The chicken is tasty if the gentleman is working, if the lady is there it is flavorless. The reason I am done is that I have visited this place on 3 Saturdays in the last 5 weeks and twice I was told they had run out of chicken and I would have to wait an hour for more, this was at 6:30pm. The other Saturday they were closed. Done. read more

Great food! Love the chicken dinner. Can't go wrong! I visit 2wice a week. Beans and rice like grandma!

12:30 pm .. Nothing special microwaved rise and tortillas not 100% sure about the chicken but also reheated in the microwave.. The McDonald's of Pollos.. the business inside is kinda beat & dirty . Good luck ! read more

Excellent chicken. Light lemon butter Seasoning was delicious. Great value for both the meals Or the 2 whole chicken deal Hidden gem! read more

The couple who owns is very nice and accommodating. Good food & the best salsa. Thanks read more

ordered through doordash and the food was delicious! been lookin for good chicken near here

This place is delicious perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken. The salsa that comes with the chicken is top-notch it goes hand-in-hand with the flavor of the chicken that has a lemon zest to it. the side orders are not the greatest but they are still good. This place is perfect for a large order catering at an affordable price!! read more

Since the last time I wrote the review, there has been an improvement on the way they serve the chicken. It no longer has the crispy skin, which some consider to be borderline burnt. This means that more people will enjoy the food. I personally miss the old version, but that's just me. The chicken I had during lunch today was certainly an improvement. PRICING is still the same!!! Why spend $7-9 at a burger chain when you can spend a little over $6 for real food. Also, the $5.99 2-piece chicken meal is not just a leg and a thigh, but leg and thigh as one piece, and part of the upper/breast as another. Plus it comes with a small drink!!! Thank you for keeping your prices low! read more

Don Pollo - 2-piece lunch special. Chicken, Rice, Beans (can be substituted for potato salad), Salsa, Tortilla, Small Drink for $5.99 plus tax. - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

I love this place and all places like it! I love the straight up specialty places that serve the real quality, time prepared food, to the community at unbeatable prices. Unbeatable. Very few knowledgeable and good looking individuals know about Don Pollo. I like that. I really like that. I really really like that. I got the mini meal deal this time which is a delicious, whole, very nicely seasoned rotisserie chicken that comes with 3 sides and salsa! The salsa is....PSSSSST, better than Juan Pollo. The potato salad is....better than Juan Pollo. When I go to Juan I don leave without paying over $20 for the same meal deal offered at Don Pollo. I paid $16 out the door and got some beers for my sisters and brothers! Don't fall for the banana in the tail pipe and waste them duckets on El poolo loocoo or some fried chicken sandwich novelty. Feed yourself some good food that was made with real fire, real technique, and time. Your wallet, your friends, and your stomach will thank you. Now THAT'S a deal! Thank you Don Pollo! read more

Saw this little hole in the wall spot thought why not? Chicken quality was a solid C but the best part i liked was the price was definently worth the quality read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. It's a go to spot when no one feels like making dinner. Quality food for a low price. The owners are a family and very nice people. It's not a 5 star restaurant but it reminds me of the little corner restaurants in Mexico outside someone's house, where you would go for a quick bite and talk chisme read more

You have to try the chicken here!! It is so good. I love this place. I'm happy I came across it because they do have a special on two whole chicken with homemade salsa and tortilla for like 16 bucks. Nothing compare to pollo loco prices. They have alot of specials if you are looking for smaller portions. The man that works there is also really friendly. I definitely recommend this place. read more
