    Grilled chicken, yellow rice & sweet plantains.
    Nathalie G.

    Pollo Centro you have been CONSISTENT in every way...quality, flavor, portions, pricing, service & cleanliness. I'm a creature of habit so I've only ever had the fried chicken with rice & beans but the last two times, I went with the 1/2 grill chicken & yellow rice (yellow rice with peas to be exact). KFC WHOOOO?! I'm ashamed to say it took me this long to write up your review on here...my apologies. Keep up the GREAT work, so glad you chose our city for your new location 5 Below: grill chicken with yellow rice & a side of SWEET plantains ( are )...have leftovers for 2 more meals.

    fried yuca

    Lady in the front was so sweet, I didnt catch her name, took the time to explain to us any questions we had with items displayed at the place. Food and service were bomb so no complaints. Not pictured : tres leches cake and chicken empanadas which were my favorite things there besides the pork that I snapped a pic of. Careful though, everything is fried here so watch out for heartburn! (lol)

    a variety of food items in a buffet

    Good food, but don't go too late at the end of the day because they aren't as fresh but all in all the food was fantastic

    The food was really good. Fried chicken was great and the serving sizes were on point. Good service.

    I was under the impression it'll be glazed style chicken like Bon Chon or bbq Chicken. I don't see…read moreanything Korean as they claim about the chicken. Either way, really solid fried chicken. Levels above Popeyes and KFC. Right to the stars now, drumsticks--spicy or regular. Can't go wrong with either or. Chicken is so deep fried. Really solid fried chicken here. They also got seasoning by the door with some fermented spices or spicy in general. Definitely worth trying if you need a bit more heat and extra flavoring. Also had wings--a bit too skinny imo. My preference here is drumsticks. Chicken nuggets- needs improvement Spicy Chicken wrap - needs improvement Popcorn chicken- very tender--definitely worth trying Grease- plenty of it Overall, their online ordering is seamless (accepts major cc and Apple Pay), and restaurant has good seating-- your general fast food style restaurant. Location is in downtown with very limited parking. Plan ahead if you're stopping in. Cheers.

    So I've been driving past this place for a very long time and they finally opened up…read more they've only been open for roughly about 5 months, the chicken is absolutely fantastic I ordered the spicy but it really wasn't as spicy as I would like it but still really good very nice place but I will say if you're coming here parking is going to be a challenge cuz there is next to zero parking anywhere if you're driving It took me 30 minutes just to find parking

    First, any place I can get good chicharron is a winner…read more A slightly cafeteria style Latin eatery. No frills, just really good food at a very fair price. I suggest going slightly before or after lunch peak to get in and out faster. I also suggest getting it to go since seating is limited. The service has always been friendly and as quick as they can be. Speaking some Spanish can make the interaction go faster. This is some of the most comforting comfort food around.

    On the dicey corner of Main and Charlton streets in Worcester is one of the best restaurants I have…read moreever eaten at. I started going there about 10 years ago, moved away, and returned recently. It doesn't bother me much to go down there but it is unquestionably in one of the tougher parts of the city. The place is very small and very clean. There is probably room for 20 at the few tables. Parking is out front or on the corner. The food is in a large steam table and you can view it, decide what you want, and either sit or get it to go. It is pretty standard, rice accompanied by a meat and essentially sides. I am pretty sure you can get as much food as you want and they will just charge you accordingly. a feast can be had for under $7.50. To the food....Not being Puerto Rican I will do my best to describe each dish they have and compare it to what I know authentic should taste like. Arroz con Gondules, yellow rice with pigeon beans is my favorite. Their yellow rice varies from day to day. Sometimes plain yellow, sometimes with pinto beans. You can get white rice as well and always request a side of beans to eat with your rice. I am not sure if they use alcaparrado (olive caper salad) in their rice but it is very very good. The main dishes change daily but many things they have every day. There is chicken, beef, ribs, pork chops, sometimes pernil (pork shoulder), maybe an ox tail dish?, plantains, salads, etc. I sometimes see Pegao on a plate. Pegao is the crispy tasty treat that comes from the bottom of the rice pot. I have never had it there but I have seen it. They also have spicy and mild Pastelon? which are meat filled pies, similar to an empenada. I like the spicy myself. I also see alcapurrias? which I think are taro or rice balls filled with meat. Make sure that with whatever dish you choose that you request plenty of the sauce. That is where all the love is. You have more than a few options for Puerto Rican Food in Worcester but my choice is Spanish Grill.
