    El Pollo Michoacano
    Ivana S.

    The margs will get us going let me tell you! Woo everytime we come in to town to visit family we come here. The drinks are strong and delicious! From the outside it does not look like a great place but some of the best places are a hole in the wall. The el pollo Michoacano was amazing. It is larger portions so splitting with someone is the best idea. Or you can take some to go for another day. Street tacos you can't go wrong with the chicken and shrimp are definitely the best ones.

    My all time, for many years now, fav Mexican restaurant in Mobile. The cheese dip is always amazing! I had a shrimp quesadilla ($5) with onions and peppers this time, as well as two soft beef tacos ($2.20 ea) - loaded with cheese. The salsa is always fresh and delicious! $2 Margaritas on many nights - beware, they're potent! ^.* I also recommend their taco salad fajita with steak or chicken - they grill the steak/chicken into strips and lather with grilled onions, peppers & white melted yummy cheese & top with fresh lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes. So fab!

    Best food in the city. A little slow on receiving your check to pay but still worth the wait!

    First off, I absolutely love their salsa, queso, and chips. They are some of the best in the…read morebusiness and they are just absolutely addictive. The chips are served nice and warm and have a light crunch to them, not overly heavy. Their salsa is just addictive and when you pair it with their queso, it's ridiculous. I ordered the chicken supreme dish I think is what it was called. Chicken breast flattened and nicely grilled, topped with mushrooms and onions and cheese. Serve with rice and beans, I couldn't finish at all, but I surely wanted to. The service was very friendly and attentive, mostly comfortable atmosphere. Loud patrons, a couple boot away, put a damp around things, but that's not really the fault of the restaurant, just inconsiderate, loud patrons. The only issue I have, is when we walked in the place just kind of smelled funky. They had a couple of candles lit, I think to mask the odor. And I really can't say what it was, but it was across between maybe garbage and trash smell. Aside from the unpleasant smell when you walk in, the food and service was on point. I would absolutely come back here for takeout.

    Went for a night of Mexican inspired dining with the Mrs. and we're wanting to expand our list of…read morelocal spots so decided to give this place a try. Parking was easy for the area and well lit. We were seated quickly and the usual chips and salsa arrived pronto. Salsa was very tasty, likely made in house. Menu has almost too many options, everything you could want in a restaurant like this. Made our selections and the food was outstanding. Fresh, delicious, and spicy enough without being crazy hot. Server was prompt with tea refills and attentive to all our needs. Dining room was not overly loud even with a couple of large groups and a kids birthday party in full swing. Nice dinner and dining experience, we will return.
