I am glad I jumped on Yelp to find this place in Fort Mill. The atmosphere was great along with the service. Now the food was great! I had the Columbian Plate. The steak was tasty and tender. I really liked the sausage and pork belly was very good. The empanadas for an appetizer were phenomenal!!! Try Mr Pollo it was delicious!!! read more

Mr. Pollo is the kind of place that will pleasantly surprise you. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice an impressive menu with plenty of options, but the real standouts are their soup and chicken. The soup is something special--rich, flavorful, and genuinely comforting. It's easy to see why regulars rave about how it feels almost "healing"; it's the perfect start to any meal. As for their chicken, it's juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always fresh. Whether you order a quarter, half, or whole, it's cooked just right and pairs well with classic sides like rice, beans, and plantains. Mr. Pollo does a great job balancing homestyle comfort with Latin American flair, making each bite memorable but not overcomplicated. What really makes Mr. Pollo worth visiting is not just the food, but the vibe. Service is warm and relaxed, and the atmosphere is unfussy--which is perfect when you just want good food without a lot of fanfare. If you're in the mood to try something new, the menu's got plenty of options, but even the basics are done really well. Whether it's a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner, Mr. Pollo hits the mark. Give it a try, especially if you want a meal that feels comforting and satisfying. read more

The food is amazing and authentic. I love the arroz con pollo and plantains. They are always quick, correct, and kind when ordering takeout. Even gave me extra sauce. This place is one of my favs! Super cute inside as well. read more

We did takeout tonight and tried the grilled chicken meal, all white meat, with 3 family size sides of green beans, black beans and rice and a garden salad. The food was prepared within in the timeframe promised through the app and was still nice and warm when we got it home. The chicken was super flavorful and juicy, the green beans were seasoned wonderfully and the other sides were great as well. There was plenty of food for the two of us and we have leftovers! My husband also tried an empanada and really enjoyed it as well. We got the spicy sauce and green sauce to go with it. The spicy was the only one I tried, it had such a good flavor and complimented the chicken so well. read more

Everything is awesome. I live the soup and the empanadas. They have great chicken and side dishes. Great prices and service

A quick lunch and I was able to get close to my keto diet. Most of the sides are fries or plantains or other high-carb stuff, but they do offer a side salad and some green beans. Not perfect, but good enough. The quarter chicken (white meat) was moist and delicious. Meaty and flavorful. Nicely cooked skin with seasoning. Definitely great for a full meal. I'll have to give them a try for takeout to bring home. [Review 10771 overall, 539 of 2019.] read more

Server was beyond nice so A+ for effort but the chicken was absolutely horrible. When I bit into the leg it was horribly overcooked, I thought no big deal as I ordered the whole chicken for left overs to take to work. NOPE! It was so overcooked and DRY. It reminded me of National Lampons XMAS Turkey, poof air bones and leather. Atmosphere was nice as well but I'm paying for the FOOD and if Chicken is part of your name I would expect you know how to cook it. The chicken wrap my wife ordered she said tasted was good but everything was blended to the same texture. read more

Meh, I'm from Miami so I've yet to be impressed with any Latin food in the Carolinas. I wasn't expecting much so I wasn't overly disappointed, but I definitely wouldn't come back. We ordered a Bandeja Paisa which is a typical Colombian platter containing Steak, Sausage, Pork Belly, Rice, Beans, Plantain, Yuca and a fried egg which they didn't include. The steak was bland and tough, the rest of the stuff was below average. Their empanadas are very cheap at 1$ and aren't awful, but are no where near the empanadas in Colombian bakeries in Miami. They were friendly but not worth a return visit. read more

Food is great. Pleasant atmosphere. Severs were accommodating. The manager himself greeted us and made sure everything was fine.

Delicious Columbian tastes. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned all around. The members of the staff are really polite and helpful when it comes to making recommendations. The rice and beans are delicious, and the plantains are cooked to perfection as well. This restaurant is highly recommended for cuisine or even family dinners at extremely reasonable costs. read more

Amazing food every time! Their prices are great and you get so much food every time. Definitely recommend this place.

good local place to get chicken. And also get a family meal and it's well-made deliciously seasoned. They also have a really great dessert like a Tres leches. I think they also have a flan, do you love going there read more

Food is always extremely inconsistent, as well as service. Sometimes it's good, but sometimes its just downright a waste of money for the price paid. Last time I ordered takeout on Friday, the beans were completely overpacked and exploded in the bag, the salsa verde was not securely places in the bag and spilled everywhere, and the actual food itself was just so small of a portion and honestly so disappointing. I love colombian food, but I'd recommend going to Los Paisas in Pineville over this garbage. Mr. Pollo is only worth it if you go in honestly, and even then the service takes forever. read more

I have never received such AMAZING customer service nor had such delicious Columbian food! I'm originally from Miami and when I moved here I never thought I would get to have that true authentic taste ever again, but they proved me wrong. All of the servers are phenomenal and so attentive, will definitely be visiting more! read more

Everytime i try to place an order over the phone, there is no answer. i have driven two different times to place the order and to find out what's happening to their phones. Same answer was given "charger got disconnected ". They told me that i can place order online however their whole menu is not on there either. Wondering how much business they could gained by simply checking their phones first thing in the morning to make sure the charger is connected or just have it fix. This is part of providing a better service read more

Someone stole 1/3 of my chicken! If you advertise "Half a Chicken", deliver half a chicken. Cutting off half of my breast robs your customers of 1/3 of the chicken meat they paid you for. read more

You ever play "I'm feeling lucky" with Yelp? That is, search on Yelp for a lunch spot nearby and blindly go to the first result? I've had it backfire a couple of times, but Mr. Pollo was a win in my book. Fast, inexpensive, delicious. It was enough for me to stop by both times I've been to Indian Land in the last two weeks. Walked in last week around 1pm to a relatively crowded small restaurant. It's about the size of your average Chinese take-out but with nice tables and a long high-top in the middle. The counter is clean and modern, with large TV screens featuring their menu choices. On my first visit I got the Arroz Con Pollo: Yellow Rice, Shredded Chicken, and mixed vegetables. Also served with your choice of a side, I got the sweet plantains. Rice and chicken was fantastic, moist and full of flavor. The sweet plantains were dialed back on the sweetness, kind of refreshing compared to a lot of Latin American restaurants around here. Served with a tangy and spicy sauce, the former similar to a chimichurri sauce. Second visit I went for the Lunch Special and for the price it was good. You get a soup, choice of a protein, and two sides. The soup today was Chicken soup. It had a wholesome flavor and seasoned nicely, but I only found one sliver of chicken. Would have been better listed as a Veggie and potato soup. The chicken was lacking a lot of flavor on its own, much different from the portion served in the Arroz Con Pollo, but also a cheaper menu option. Perfect rice that went well with the aforementioned sauces. For what it was, it was filling and satisfying. If one opened up around UNC-Charlotte I'd be a regular for sure. Great food and good staff, well worth the visit! read more

The service was very patient and brought out our food for us. The food tasted amazing, it was absolutely worth my while.

Great spot. Friendly Colombian staff. Place is clean but, a little small for groups or kids. The Latin music was fine. I mean, not as loud as other Latin spots. You don't need to yell! Saturday around 7 Pm. Party of two. Ordered two empanadas. The parrillada with two sides (plantains and French fries) & two drinks. The empanadas are really tiny, more like an appetizer, but small, as big as a plantain, (to give you an idea) Glad that they have Coca Cola drinks. And also Hellman's mayonnaise. I can assure that there's nothing similar with viva Chicken. (As someone noted before). Maybe the sides are similar with the 1/4 or other pieces of chicken but nothing compared with flavorful and taste. They are totally different. Viva is Peruvian & Mr Pollo is Colombian. I think that we should try lunch time. However, for the food we got, it was not bad. Actually I was expecting more fries or more plantains. Only came 4 plantains and a small cone of fries. (They do not have sweet potatoes fries) :( The grilled steak was on point. Really tender. The ribs, very thin. I wish you can only order only the steak. It came with a sausage, 1/4 chicken. The steak ribs and grilled steak. Actually, I was surprised because although I asked for dark meat (the white is often more dry) it was a small piece and not juice. Almost dry. Talking-about sauces: they give you 3 different-types. One that comes with the empanadas, then a yellow one (hot) and a green one. We don't know the ingredients but guys you should sell the green one in bottles! Maybe was not the best night for us. But do not misunderstand me. I'm giving 4 stars. And for me, that's more than good. If you are in the neighborhood, give Mr. Pollo a try. Maybe next time, will order other items & or make a take out order. read more

Went here for a take-out dinner for the family. Ordered the largest order of six pieces of chicken including three sides. Pieces were half a chicken each so we ended up with one and a half chickens. This is in the former Casa Colombia restaurant that recently went out-of-business. In the Food Lion supermarket strip shopping enter along Hwy 521 in Indian Land. Very popular with the Latino population which was there in droves. Entire families eating in as well as taking out. Sides included sweet and green plantains, rice and beans and other Central and South American items. There were also some conventional sides, such as potatoes, rice and string beans. The chicken, to us, was nothing special. It was grilled and nicely cooked and coated with a mildly spicy treatment. But it was expensive, especially compared to grocery store chicken and the Colonel's and we would call it rather blah. Overall, it rated an A-OK rating of three stars. And that is all. The serving and cooking crew appeared to be Colombian which I verified by asking the cashier in Spanish. Hence the sides offered. If you plan on eating inside, it is crowded. Metal tables fill the entry/eating area. You order and pick-up at the counter..Menu is on the wall above the cashiers and there are printed cards that you can use or take with you. It is very clean and the staff are neatly uniformed, groomed and friendly as well as helpful. Very simple operation and other than the grilled chicken there are salads and empanadas (meat with potato stuffed pies). And certainly, there are beverages. Don't understand how it is "gourmet" chicken. It is just grilled. I wish them success, and given the Latino population in the area it stands a good chance. That said, the menu is limited and the sides are unusual for the non-Latino population of Indian Land. Couple that with the higher prices charged, and they might be making some menu and price changes. read more

This place is fantastic. The food, the service, the speed. Everything is great. My wife is Columbia's and we are from South Florida where there is a large amount of Hispanic restaurants and this business competes with them. It's also one of the rare places around here you can find sweet plantains. Highly recommended. read more

Was visiting my cousin and they picked Mr Pollo! I played it a llittle safe with the chicken breast, fried yucca, and white rice with veggies but everything was terrific! They brought us a tray with three dipping sauces, and I tried them all. They were supposedly mild, medium and spicy but I thought the "medium" one had the most flavor! They were all good, none were overly spicy. I appreciate that "dine-in" customers are serve on interesting, wood look platters with real flatware and cups. ALL reusable!! I may not get back to S Carolina anytime soon, but I wish they had a franchise in OHIO! read more

The food here is spectacular! I ordered take out from here on a busy Friday night and they had my food made in just 10 minutes. I ordered the Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken & Rice) and the flavors were off the charts. The peppers were fresh and really brought out the delicious flavor and aroma of the dish. Also the chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted really good. I also ordered the Grilled Beef Steak which was also very tasty along with 6 empanadas for sides. The empanadas were fresh, warm, and super yummy. Honestly for 50 cents a piece, it is a GREAT DEAL. I think their empanadas were the best thing I ordered by far just because the sauces they provided really worked with it. I'm not sure what is in the light green sauce (lime for sure) but it is AMAZING. I could put it on anything and it'd taste good. The yellow sauce reminds me of curry which was also really good. Lastly, the dark green sauce was my parents' favorite and is more tangy. If you're getting anything from there make sure you get to try ALL the sauces! The only thing I wish they could improve on is maybe increasing the portion size just because I'm used to more for dishes around $9. But overall, their food is outstanding and even my dad who's not a huge fan of Latin American food loved it (especially the empanadas). Looking forward to coming back soon to try everything on their menu! read more

Mr Pollo - Parrillada for 2 (enough for 3)! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I love chicken so Mr. Pollo, gourmet chicken intrigued my dining mate and I to try to the chicken. The restaurant is small but clean and bright. Staff very friendly and accommodating. One orders from the counter and food is brought to the table . ,My dining mate ordered the special , a quarter of the chicken , white rice, with plantains and chicken soup as the 2 sides . on the special. I ordered a 1/2 of chicken with 2 sides of my choice, green beans and a small house salad . My dining mate also ordered a blackberry juice drink which was made fresh on the premises in the morning . While we waited we were offered a complimentary beef and potato filled empanada . The empanada was delicious and came with 2 types of spicy sauces . Our food orders came shortly after . Food was plated nicely and hot . The black Berry fruit drink was delicious . The chicken soup was bland but satisfying. Orders of our chickens were satisfactory , dark meat much moister than white breast meat. Our chicken seemed lightly grilled , no discerning seasonings or hint of smoke on the skin or meat. The fried sweet plantains were delicious . Nothing special about the sides of green beans which seemed canned, the small house salad or white rice. Reasonable portions and prices . The kids menu featured chicken nuggets with french fries and a cheese burger with fries. We would probably return and try something else from the menu . Over all wholesome food but basically the chicken needs a little bit more flavor in our opinion. read more

I was told by some friends about this place over towards Indian Land and how delicious it was. They said I would love since I am quite the sucker for South American cuisine. Upon entry, the staff was very nice and patience since it was my first time. I ordered the empanada which I recommend as it can be customized to your exact liking and comes with a side for a good price. The empanada was so delicious and made even better with the sauces provided by the restaurant. The staff was also very involved in making sure everything about our meal was perfect. The store is also kept to an extremely high standard of cleanliness which you love to see in times like these. I really recommend this place and know you won't be disappointed. read more

Nice people, good food, and great prices. I've been here 4 times in about a year and a half mainly because its further out from where I live. The tostones with garlic, rice, beans,and chicken were pretty good. Chicken flavor is unique compared to pio pio and viva chicken and I like it a lot. Empanadas are mediocre.

I wanted to like this spot as there are not too many Colombian food places available in the Carolinas. Unfortunately I drove 25 miles for the worst chicken and braza (steak) I have ever had. The chorizo and pork were not edible, and OLD. We ordered the meat family platter and it was dry and also extremely salty. I think the food must have been old so they over heated and re salted. We could not eat it when I brought home. I took a picture so you can see I'm not exaggerating. We also ordered empanadas which were "ok" but also not the greatest. Be very careful of this place. Like many start up franchises they take great pictures online but are hit or miss with freshness and quality you could get sick real quick! read more
