This small food joint is legitimately a great place. El Pollo Local has nothing on this place The chicken is juicy and the half chicken plate is a-lot of food for one person. I tackled the plate and rolled myself out knowing i got a great value with delicious food. read more

Just popped in for a torta cuz I wanted some food and it was honestly delicious. Their chicken is juicy and flavorful. The hot sauce was delicious, the little roasted jalapeño on the side was delicious. It was all delicious. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean. I will return here for sure. read more

We ordered this food for my son's high school graduation. Everyone loved it! ( it disappeared before I got any). We ordered again last night! Best restaurant in Brighton! By far! Awesome service! Very friendly and they get your order correct! Many places in Brighton are not well rounded like this establishment! We will be back A LOT! read more

Small establishment with a private parking lot right off of Main st. They have Aguas Fresca (Jamaica, pina and horchata). Menu consist of grilled chicken, flautas, tortas, tacos, quesadillas, burrito (regular or smothered), and other items. The grilled chicken was mediocre didn't really have any seasoning, the beans were also pretty bland- it came with picked onions and hot sauce. Their hot sauce is pretty hot! Someone mentioned he enchiladas were good. But I would not return. read more

Nice people - great grilled Pollo - quick service. Will come back next time I am in town. read more

I've eaten here 3 times now. Each time I forget to take a picture cause it's just to good. 1st time was the chicken burrito. It was great. The second time was 1/2 chicken. This place knows how to cook chicken legit. 3rd time was the chicken enchiladas, this is where I now have a dilemma, I don't know what to order next cause the enchiladas are the best you're going to find around here. Pick anything on the menu and you won't be wrong. read more

what excellent service. I don't even understand! Wow. Go there. On a Thursday. Get the special. Walk out in less than 5 minutes with your meal. Certified authentic by a Mexican dude. read more

If you're visiting Brighton you need to stop at El Pollute. The enchiladas were delicious. Even the rice and beans and the way the chicken was cooked was so tasty. Great customer service as well. Glad I stopped. read more

Stopped in here for dinner tonight. I've been wanting to come here for so long after driving by and smelling them grill up the goods for a long time. Parking was easy. Store was pretty empty tonight unlike Thursday's when they have their main special going on. I got there half chicken meal to go. Had to wait maybe 12 minutes but it's nice to be able to walk around the grocery part of the store and watch them grill when your waiting. Food was piping hot after my 10 minute drive home. Best grilled chicken I've ever had, period! Beans, rice, tortillas, onions, and the jalapeño just add to the experience but all you really need is the chicken. I will tell everyone about this place and be a consistent customer for the future. read more

El Pollote - the inside of a restaurant with tables and chairs - Mexican Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

Save yourself some money and get a roast chicken from king soopers and a can of refried beans and some minute rice and you'll have yourself a much better meal. They must have paid reviews cause this place is very plain. Watery beans. Tasteless rice and ok chicken. They forgot the drink as well. You can tell the passion is in profit and not the product. I don't recommend anyone go there. Save your money. read more

I was told this place has the best chicken, it took me a year to visit. I went here last night for dinner and it was so good I had to come back for lunch. They only serve chicken, which I was surprised with, but once you try their chicken you realize there is no need to serve anything else. I've tried the tacos and burritos and both are delicious. I lean towards the tacos, as the corn tortilla is fried and delicious. The only thing is I wish they had horchata. read more

Food was not worth Price. They double charged my credit card. Staff was rude. Showed business the double charge. They said they acknowledge it happened but cannot do anything about it. read more

Holy crap it's some good a$$ chicken. Great deal for the price. Fast service too. They forgot my extra onion but the chicken is so good I forgot too. Still got charged but that's ok. Cuz the grilled chicken with the rice and beans and a whole lotta corn tortillas and a 2 liter soda plus salsa is still worth it. read more

I really like this place for a good budget friendly family dinner, 24 bucks! with a 2 liter of soda, chicken is delicious, rice and beans better than most restaurants , pico de gallo really good read more

Pretty bad in my opinion! Chicken was dry and tough! Beans were pretty good. The rice had a sour or fishy taste to me.

My new favorite place for grilled chicken!! Me and my wife, ordered the #1, a whole chicken, beans, rice, corn tortillas, jalapeños, and an amazing red chili, plus a free two liter bottle of soda!! You can't beat their amazing prices, and their food is the Best!! Friendly staff is also a 5 Star rating!! Next time you're all craving chicken for the family, we highly recommend El Pollote!!! read more

We initially got this delivered through Door Dash, and were SO happy. I'm originally from southern California (so I'm a super annoying diva when it comes to Mexican food) but this food was SO good. Like some of the best chicken I've ever had. Good portions, and it's a full meal. AND they deliver. So I'm basically the happiest ever! read more

I got to this place about at about 10:50 am so I knew I was early so I looked around at the market for about 15 minutes. Some of the meat was interesting and some was not. I then ordered the 1/4 chicken meal for $7.99 I think it was. I then noticed a lunch special for $5.99. I then asked what that was. He said yea that is the same 1/4 chicken meal. I asked if I could get that. He said no that is our lunch special and lunch doesn't start until 12:pm. When I pulled in the place there was a guy cooking chicken on the barbeque who ended up serving my chicken to go in a bag. I asked him if he just cooked this on the grill this morning and he said yes. Oh yea my chicken was dried out. It tasted like it was cooked a day or two before. It was so dried out I could not chew some of the outside pieces! read more

Very authentic and extremely delicious. Service was great and the food came out quick. 10/10

Simply delicious. Super friendly staff and great service. The real stand out is the wonderful smell of meats cooking in back. Put this place on your radar! read more

Excellent restaurant! Chicken is absolutely delicious. Owners and the help very, very nice. Great find in Longmont, Co. Green salsa is so good! Highly recommend this spot for lunch. read more

This is the best place. You can see them grilling the chicken from the parking lot and can taste the smoke on the chicken. I like to go on Thursday where you can get 1.5 chicken for the price of 1. It comes with a big serving of rice, beans, super nice and soft tortillas (corn), salsa, and picked onions. I also like the enchiladas because the green sauce is nice and spicy. read more

I wish I could've tried the food I paid for online. Paid for my meal but when I showed up they said they didn't do online delivery. That would be understandable if they didn't already take my money or even took the initiative to take that option off their website if they didn't offer that service anymore. Rude staff, awful experience, plenty of other Mexican restaurants around here that will serve you great food and provide great service. read more

I was there for the first time. The flavors of the chicken were fine but on the dry side and in some cases a little burned I was able to notice that because our order was fairly large. plenty room for improvement on the salsas and pickled onions the red hot sauce I never see that style to go with this kind of meals, salsas are typically chunky and testy. I will be back since the place is clean and service was good but with lower expectations. read more

I thought I had reviewed this restaurant, guess not here, think they do some of the best chicken and their beans are also great. While the rice may not seem great at least what im accustomed to it has its unique texture amd deliciuous flavor. So I could go on and on ,their staff isbfriendly and food is affordable spcially if you get the daily specials. This is all chicken flautas, burritos, enchiladas tacos ,wings, besides a ham torta on menu amd some desserts. Its a order at counter eat in or pick up at counter to eat out. So my only complain but also one of their best deals is thursdays buy chicken and get a half free. Comes with large portion of rice and beans. Salsas and tortillas. On this day theres a long wait expect ar least 30-45 min if you dont calk it in and its in evening. So my gripe is i called in about 20 minutes ahead but seemed order had not been written down which just seems a small detail they could improved on. Despite service being still reasonable for a thursday just wanted to mention as something that could be improved to provide even better experience. Total time from calling in order to receiving order was 30min which I mention is normal for Thursdays. read more
