Not great. Chicken was pretty tasteless and very dry. Empanadas were mediocre at best. Much better places nearby

So we went back after our first two disappointments, mostly because we agreed the black beans were freakin' delicious (my wife is Cuban so knows black beans!). To our delight, the Chicken was really good this time, very moist and seasoned, flavorful. Someone got the message. So we went again, and delicious again. I went back to buy a family meal to take home, and again, delicious. Yay, so glad they fixed the dry chicken. We'll be back again and again. Please keep the Quality high, you're only as good as the last meal. read more

Edible but nothing to write home about. The food needs more flavor and I'm not sure they are making these items in-house as it appears they may be popped out of a freezer or can. All the other similar places in Charlotte are so flavorful. I hope they add some seasoning to their items (keep in mind I come from a salt-free household, so these items are super bland) and use fresh ingredients. This is our second visit and I will say we enjoyed the rice/beans and plantains. I just hope they make some adjustments as I would love to see their business thrive. read more

My wife and I didn't really feel like the traditional restaurant dinner experience tonight. Thus searching for something close to home. Browsing through Yelp we found Mr. Pollo. All the reviews were glowing, and it just recently opened so we decided to try it out. The storefront looks like a pizza joint from the parking lot, though the store signage is definitely more elegant than it's neighbors. Don't be fooled though. The chicken is EXCELLENT and the sides are not shabby either. We both had the 1/4 chicken w/ 2 sides - house salad and green beans for my wife - house salad and sweet plantain for me. They offer a handful of dips for the chicken that are pretty good, though the chicken in our opinion needs nothing additional. My wife also had a side order of yarro - I now like yarro. We chose the blackberry natural juice made in house and it like the rest of the meal was excellent. The menu is limited, possibly one of the reasons why what they do offer is of high quality and such a great deal. The facility is clean and the staff courteous. It's not a place you're going to visit everyday, but when you want something healthier than the fast food joints and similarly priced; especially on those days you just don't feel like preparing food at home. Then Mr. Pollo should be at the top of your list. read more

Another great visit for lunch in one of my favs. I appreciate the Colombian influence and the nice change in variety. The food is light and delicious and the service is good. read more

I thought the chicken was very tasty but there wasn't enough of it for my family. I guess we'll have to order more next time :) The plantains were delicious! We went here last minute but it was worth it. Most importantly, there wasn't a huge crowd. We were served right away. Staff was very friendly and professional. I will go here again. Next time I will look at the menu more carefully. Keep up the good work! read more

Food is very good as are portions.This is my last review infill you remove the 85 word.

Service is always sweet, sauces are delicious and the chicken is ALWAYS moist and crispy (the best combination). The only con is that the pieces are a little smaller than expected but the prices are cheap and they have Groupons! read more

Good flavorable chicken at Mr Pollo! The lunch special includes a bowl of soup, the sides are small. Two plantains and side salad, the bleu cheese is good, it blended well with a spicy sauce they brought to the table. The grilled beef steak is tasty but a tad chewy. Chicken is the way to go. The drinks are 2$, refills at the station, the order is taken at the counter and a friendly staff member brings your order to the table with a smile. Small, clean spot in the plaza. read more

Mr Pollo - Lunch chicken special with 2 sides. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

See all

We got take out from here the other day and wAs not impressed at all. The chicken was so dry it was inedible. Green beans had a weird flavor and were mushy. Rice had no flavor. It was around 5:30pm, so I hate to see what the late diners were served. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because my husband liked the empanadas. Won't be back. read more

Went for a take out family meal and was extremely disappointed. From the non welcoming atmosphere by staff (you should take extreme pride in your product) chicken was overly salty and not flavorful at all. If the chicken is the spotlight of this establishment it was not the star. Meaning, the chicken tasted old and I hate soggy steamed skin on chicken (which kept being reheated as it was dry) The empanadas tasted old and not with a crunchy fresh taste. First and last time we will be eating at this establishment. Save your money and try something else. read more

Mr Pollo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Enjoyed our first visit to Mr. Pollo. The service was great. Food was tasty. We tried the following: 2 chicken wraps, kids chicken plate, steak and a quarter chicken meal. Fries went with them all and they were good. Sauces also very good. Even got some free empanadas which were awesome with the sauce. Only thing not great was the steak was a bit tough... but son wanted steak at a chicken place...so there's that. Will go again. read more

My friends and I from work have been going to Mr Pollo since they first opened in Indian Land. The food is always excellent! And their service is second to none. We love going there and are always treated well. I very much recommend this wonderful small business and will continue to support them! read more

Love this place. Best baked chicken I have ever tried. Black beans and rice are amazing Eat here once a week and its always consistent and delicious. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall! Service is quick and friendly and the food is awesome. The flavor of the chicken is fantastic. For sides, the fries are nice and crispy and definitely have that satisfying crunch. The yuca fries are soft and dense exactly what a yuca fry should be. The empanadas are definitely one of the things that got me absolutely hooked! The flavor is fantastic. Then there's the green beans and those are amazing as well! The prices are fair for what you get and I'm always coming back for more. read more

I love the parrillada. The empanadas are a bit greasy for me but are good flavor. Nice employees read more

We love this place and they serve food my picky son will actually eat. He LOVES the black beans and rice. And any place he eats is some place I will keep coming back to. The chicken and steak are great too, as are the plantains and green beans. read more

One of my new favorite places. I ate here 4 times in one week the first time I found it. I have had most items on the menu but my top 3 favorite things are the Shredded Beef Arepa, Chicken Wrap, and 1/4 Chicken meal. Fav sides are white rice w/veg and sweet plantains. Don't hesitate on the Chicken wrap, the savory sweet of the plantains and avocado with chicken pairs amazingly. read more

Absolutely love this place! It's quick, easy & delicious! Everything I have had so far has been amazing. You will not be disappointed. The chicken is delicious and you have to get the sauces! Always order the empanadas! And ask about the soup - it changes daily. I've ha a few different soups here and they were all delicious. read more

The food is good, but they are a little slow and pricy for what you get. I recommend calling your order in advance so you don't have to wait. read more

This place is amazing !!! I love it I can't get enough I go here all the time and there sides are the best. Tonight my wife was sick and I knew only one thing would make her feel better and that was the chicken noodle soup they have!!! It is Bomb dot com it has cilantro chicken corn and big noodles and lots of chicken !! Go here for lunch or dinner you will be satisfied guaranteed! read more

Perhaps the driest chicken I have ever eaten. Could barely swallow it. Real shame for a chicken place to incapable of cooking chicken

This has become one of our go to's for take out. Everything on the menu that we have tried has been exceptional. The wrap is full of so much flavor! Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. I am glad we did!! read more

Came here a few weeks ago and I was not disappointed. The service was quick and staff was friendly. I ordered the arroz con polo with a side of black beans and green beans. Very flavorful and a very reasonable portion. Definitely will be back! read more

6 paper bags (reusing for my regular shopping) and counting of Mr. Pollo. The chicken Waaay fresher and healthier. Can it use a little more latin season. Yes than again i don't want too much high sodium. The whole point is to eat and be healthy. & No you won't find freshly made Delicious Empanadas at local supermarkets. read more

I loved Casa Columbia, sorry to see it close, but Mr. Pollo picks up where it left off. Friendly Staff, quick service and clean inside. Chicken was cooked to perfection.Got 1/2 chicken, with black beans and green plantains, it was way too much food. Green plantains were the best I ever had but thought the black bean were kind of bland. The green and red sauces were tasty, but they need a hotter salsa. Might daughter had the empanadas which were very good, but the sauce that came with them was unbelievable. Mr Pollo blows away Viva Chicken (over rated)! read more

Excellent new addition to the area. Chicken has more of a South American seasoning and is very tasty! The corn and green beans were truly southern and tasted like grandmas. The yucca and plantains had great flavor and texture. Filling in deep fried empanadas was very tasty. Great sauces provided to complement meal. Look forward to many more visits! Well done Mr. Pollo! read more

LOVED IT!!! If you haven't been to this restaurant yet you need to try it. My husband and I got take out from here last night and we were very happily surprised. We ordered the 6 piece family meal that's priced at $25, and we had a $5 coupon. We assumed we would get maybe a breast, a wing and a couple of thighs and drums, but when we got home we were shocked to see that we got 3 breast halves with the wings attached and 3 chicken leg quarters- an entire chicken and a half! The meal came with 3 sides. We got a house salad which was fresh crisp romaine lettuce with some carrots onion and cheese that was large enough for us to both have a good sized portion, green beans that were hot and flavorful...a little on the salty side for my taste but still good, and yucca fries which were thick cut, perfectly fried, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and sooo tasty! We've had some pretty bad yucca fries, even at nice Cuban restaurants before, but these really hit the mark. The roasted chicken was flavorful and juicy and the sauces that they included were absolutely amazing! I thought this place was going to have a Mexican flavor, but it's definitely more Cuban and such a nice addition to the food choices in this area. It's an order at the counter kind of place, but the dining room was clean and comfortable. Definitely updated since the previous place in this location. They have many choices for sides and even a burger plate on the menu, so please, please visit this restaurant and give it a chance. I'd hate to see it go out of business like so many other restaurants in this area. read more

Love the concept, extremely clean, variety of lunch options, good pricing, and friendly staff.

We recently used Mr. Pollo to cater a corporate lunch. The food was amazing and their employees were very helpful when placing the order and getting delivered. Wonderful people and wonderfull food! read more

Mr. Pollo is one of the best restaurants that I've tried in my trip for all the east Coast. The food was on point and delicious, prices are affordable and I highly recommend the empanadas, they're amazing!!!. Mr. pollo is a good look and very clean place where you can enjoy with your family or friends. read more

Flavorful food- always tend to get the lunch special, which rotates different items from steak to chicken but no matter what, it is always delicious! Stop in! Everyone was very nice and helpful when it came to my questions. Food delicious and prices are extremely fair! read more

I ate at Mr. Pollo today for the first time. I went about 1 p.m. and had the lunch special for $6.99. It was a good deal for soup, two sides and 1/4 chicken. I had white meat, breast and wing, and the meat was very dry. I was very disappointed considering the great reviews I read online. The wing was shriveled up and tiny. The breast was small as well and I had a tough time swallowing it. Their sauces are not nearly as good as Viva Chicken's in my opinion. I had a side salad and the red beans. The beans were good and the soup was good - both were served hot. My main issue was with the chicken which is their signature item. I don't think I will be returning. read more

Stopped by for lunch after hearing it was open. Staff was exceptional, food was fast and very good. Had the lunch special and I missed out on pictures cause I ate it so fast. Great chicken, and the sauces made it better. read more

Very good and lite. Very friendly people working there. Great place to eat and great price

Stopped on a sat evening, other myself getting take out one table of 3. I got the half chicken. Leg and wing we're ok, skin had flavor but soggy. Breast was extremely dry and very little flavor. The rice and veggies were bland white rice with a mix of frozen niblet size veggies. Think tv dinner. The plantains were some how dry yet greasy. The green sauce, mild, was chunky with a odd flavor. Overall a less than average chicken with nothing fresh or flavor to die for. Nothing gourmet here other than name. Rating 1, maybe a 2 for price and fast service not quality or flavor. Put this place on your drive somewhere else in Indian Land for your chicken fix. read more

First, let me say, I love their empanadas. I really do. But their chicken is also great as are all sides. This place is convenient to us and the price is good. We love it. read more

Our first time there just now. Good first impression. My husband is one of the worlds pickiest eaters and he loved it. This is a very unassuming place and we will definitely be back. The chicken was moist with great flavor and the sweet plantains were delicious. Glad to have another quick and easy place to eat so close read more

Stopped in for the first time today and got takeout. Staff was great and the dining room was very clean. The lunch special i got came with a ton of food and it was about 9 dollars! Food tastes very good and athentic. I will be back! read more

The entire menu is worth trying. Everything is so good. The chicken as absolutely amazing. Glad they are here in Indian Land!
