I love this place it always smells so good it makes my truck drive there at least once a week. I have had about every thing in this place and my favorite is still the half chicken lunch meal or the tacos al pastor. The chicken comes with 5 corn tortillas and a side of rice and a side of beans, inside the packet with the chicken is a pepper and an onion "grilled". I am a big fan of the salad bar, oh I mean the salsa bar... Travis read more

Love coming to this restaurant, one of my favorite pollo regio restaurants to go to always fast and good service.

Great place for mexican dishes! Prices was higher then expected. Single person meal will be around $10-15. w/side. read more

We ordered Pollo Regio on Uber Eats. The food arrived cold and late. The driver said they gave him the wrong order. I specifically asked for charro beans with no rice but only got rice and no beans. The sausage was kinda gross - tasted old or something- not even mustard could mask whatever funk was going on with that. The green salsa was delicious. The chicken was very good - great flavor and cooked just right except it was greasy. Interestingly enough, I loved the rice - it was very tasty. Lastly, given that they sell half a chicken or whole chicken - they may want to consider getting bigger chickens. read more

The chicken like most locations is delicious. The customer service on the other hand is absolutely horrible. My coworkers and I come here all the time since it's close to our office, the drive-thru orders are usually wrong. Today I placed a six chickens order with rice and bean, I asked if they can put them in the aluminum pans (even if they charged me for it) $103.xx later and they refused instead gave me about 8 bags of things. read more

Horrible drive-thru service and wait time outside this restaurant. Oh, and cold food once you get back to work.... read more

For a place called pollo regio I just assumed the enchiladas would have chicken in them but no they're full of this mushy cheese. The beans are watery and just ok. The rice is just ok. The enchiladas are fire red like food coloring or something. The pico doesn't look fresh. It's not terrible but not good either. read more

The street tacos are delicious. My favorite are the pork and chicken. Love their salsa verde! I also think it's a lot of food for the price. The half chicken is moist and cooked perfectly with good flavor. Come give them a try! Support Farmers Branch businesses. read more

No more I'm gonna go there They stingy with the taco meat that I can count quickly how many pieces they put there read more

Pollo Regio - Flautas, I'm sorry burnt flautas - Mexican Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

*In my Ed Luva voice* c'mon son! How could I have not reviewed Pollo Regio? This place is on the way home. Well actually, I route myself accordingly, so that I can stop here and snatch up half of a grilled chicken... and a stuffed potato with carne on top - to go. Also, fyi - you cannot order at the drive up menu. You order at the window. I sat at the window for like 5 minutes, waiting for someone to take my order... cars were waiting, tummies were rumblin, I was growing impatient. Sure, they have a clearly posted sign that tells you this same information, but my hungry eyes don't read, they skim... The chicken is the truth. Moist. Flavorful. Amazing! The potato is usually the same, except when it's not cooked all of the way. I've had to nuke one or two, is all I'm saying, but the toppings alone are redeeming. read more

I've never actually set foot in this place, but we've gotten giant piles of food for various birthday celebrations at work (40+ people). Holy crap, this is some delicious chicken! For anyone who's familiar with El Pollo Loco, this is a similiar style (except a hell of a lot less "American") - chargrilled in the store, plus plenty of tortillas, beans, rice, delicious salsas (the green is the tastiest possible way to die of spicy-OD), and lots of fixins. There's nothing fancy, there's nothing flashy, nothing bells-and-whistley here at all. But if you want to get your grub on in a delicious, authentic, inexpensive way - well, these are the guys to go see. I'm not kidding about the green salsa, BTW. Don't come cryin' to me when your eyeballs are trying to escape the steam buildup inside your head. :) read more

My first visit based on a coworker's recommendation. Mexican version of take-out chicken in a stand alone shack that might seat 12 comfortably. Ordered the 1/2 chicken meal (if the name has pollo you'd better order the chicken) for $7+tax including fountain drink. The bird is lightly coated (skin on) in a seasoning similar to bbq rub, charbroiled, cut into quarters and wrapped in butcher paper with half a roasted onion. The white meat was juicy, and all the meat was cooked to perfection. Served with spanish rice, charro beans, a tall stack of corn tortillas, 1/2 a lime, and a spicy avocado-green sauce (the color is avocado, but if it had any avocado there wasn't much). This is a boat-load of food. A word about the charros: these are some of the best tasting charro beans i've ever had, except that they needed to cook longer to soften up more. They were cooked with a lot of bacon and chicharron - so they aren't low-fat, but man they sure taste good. Keeping in mind the venue (take out Mexican chicken), I probably would rated them 5 stars had the beans been fully cooked. Definitely will eat here again. read more

they stole chicken on every order and don't sell whole chicken because they take half piece of breas every time you order and expensive

Chicken is always tasty. Great salsa and sides. I recommend the chicken for 2 meal and add two sides

While I see that many rave about this place, I have to say, that I just don't see it. I ordered a whole chicken. It was dry. Despite the apparent abundance of seasoning, it was pretty much bland. It was being kept in a warming drawer I'm sure. It was just very unremarkable. Also, they included a whole roasted onion with it. I was baffled. What the hell should I do with this thing? The beans are delicious. The salsas etc. are nothing special, but there was nothing particularly wrong with them. Cowboy Chicken makes a way better bird in my opinion. read more

Greatest grilled chicken in the world! The spices are perfect, the chicken is juicy and has that earthy, smoky flavor. The green salsa is to die for ....next time I am getting a tupperware from home to take a gallon or so home :) Rices and beans are decent. A whole chicken, a roasted onion and pepper, stack of corn tortillas, green and res salsas (red is disappointing!), rice and beans...all for 12.99+tax. Enough for 3-4 people. Most of their business is to-go or drive thru read more

The one in Garland is better, but this place is good. I was REALLY craving carne asada, and saw they had a loaded baked potato with carne asada, and I had to get it. Along with a churro. For my craving, this really satisfied my tummy. The baked potato was big, and was LOADED, I just wish the potato was a little bit more buttered. If I'm gonna eat fattening foods, I wanna go all out haha The meat was very delicious too, and it had LOTS of cheese and they gave me a side of sour cream, which I LOVE and put it on their too. It was awesome. And for their churro, the one in Garland puts more sugar on it where this one looked like they might as well took a handful of sugar and threw it at the churro and gave it to me. And there churros have a caramel-like filling in it, but this location only filled the churro half way, no bueno. :( But overall this place is good, and gave me a massive food coma after haha But I say come and try it, it's good for the price you pay and you have a food baby afterwards :) read more

Extremely disappointed. Before I went to this place, I researched to see what restaurant made chicken that was close to El Pollo Loco's chicken in Los Angeles. Some people said this is the place to go, so I tried it out today. I went in there, the restaurant was like 100 degree inside. It was like an oven. The food smelled good and I thought I was in luck. So I ordered 1/2 chicken combo which did not come with any drinks. It costed me about 8.00 something. I got some chicken, beans and rice all prewrapped in 3 different containers. I thought this place supposed to serve fresh food? What the heck? So I tried the very hot chicken. It was dry, very dry and rubbery. It was also tasteless. I am glad that I didn't choke by their Chicken before I left. How can anyone say that this is comparable to El Pollo Loco? They must be 'loco' to say that! I am so mad now that I have to drive across the street to eat at Pasteur vietnamese food. read more

Not an average fast food restaurant. It is rare to see places use a charcoal grill due to the high expense, and their food is still reasonable. The food is very flavorful especially the beans. The staff was very nice as well. read more

Pollo Regio - Tacos pastor mmm - Mexican Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I'll keep this short and simple....Rudy's Chiken is the best fried chiken joint in dallas and Pollo El Regio is the best charbroiled chicken place in dallas. The chicken has a great smokey flavor, The beans and rice compliment the meal like its meant to be. The green hot sauce is the perfect add on. The only things I'll knock off is that the stack of tortillas get cold real quick and the lime is usually dry. THERE ARE MANY LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DFW AREA CHECK THE YELLOW PAGES! read more

So it isn't wrapped up all pretty in a nice, neat little building package... but I noticed the drive thru line was long, plus BMW's and Hoopties alike were in the line. So I cut a U and hopped in it too. I ended up ordering chicken mole (Mole Poblano)... YUM-O. I've been wanting some more ever since. The chicken serving is small (2 very small pieces), but they give you darn near a bucket of mole which I'll TAKE! I poured it over rice in tortillas. And that creamy salsa they gave me... oh my word it was good. The food literally looks like grandma made it, put it in styrofoam containers, and then wrapped all your stuff with Saran wrap to keep it from spilling in your car. I was tempted to call the place from work later and tell Nana thank you. I like. Good flavors. Try it. read more

Best hamburger I have tasted thus far anywhere. Some folks from Texas and Dallas might think otherwise, but this place's burgers a 100 times better than any burger created in Los Angeles. The chicken looked good, but haven't had a chance to taste it. Seems like a really busy place and for good reason. read more

I LOVE this place... I haven't had anything here that I didn't like. We usually get the half chicken and share it. The green sauce is DELISH! Then end the meal with one of their churros. They are fried cinnamony carmel goodness! read more

Stopped by here this afternoon on the way home to pick up some chicken and this place never disappoints. All of the outlets in this chain are consistent with their food preparation and delivery and there is something in that green sauce that is heavenly. I ordered the fries and these are fresh cut deeply fried noodles of potato goodness and this is how FRY's used to be made before the horrible frozen stuff called Fries that we get everywhere. They grill the chicken with onions and the caramelized roasted onions with the chicken just created explosion of flavor in your mouth and that with the green sauce and a corn tortilla is as close as I'm going to get to heaven in Dallas. The measure of the places usually determined by the number of the locals that frequent a place and in this particular instance it appears to be a fan favorite in the community. read more

The place is very deceiving, because it looks like another Mexican fast food restaurant. But they make grilled chicken like nobody else! Very tasty and they come with this killer delicious hot sauce that looks a lot like honey mustard dressing... :-) I am a big fan of spicy food and will come back again. read more

The food and service were fantastic! Their burritos (especially the chicken) is one of the top three best burritos I've ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

El Pollo Regio is known for their excellent bbq chicken, but for something different, I ordered the carne asada stuffed spud on a weekday visit. The girl running the counter was prompt and cheery; she took my order without missing a stride, despite a very busy lunch line. What I received was a huge baker spud loaded with cheese, sour cream, butter and of course the beef! Paired with jalapenos and their signature green hot sauce, the Papa Regio made an excellent lunch (in truth, more spud than I ever expected) for $7 and some change. What a meal for such a great deal. read more

Gringos, trust me, stick with the steak tacos! And the creamy salsa is the best. read more

Pollo Regio - Mexican Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I'm a huge BBQ fan, and El Pollo Regio (The Royal Chicken) is BBQ chicken with a south of the border not Southern flair. I always come here to satisfy my chicken craving when going fried does not seem like the healthy option for the moment. I can tell the chicken has been in a smoker because of the lack of grill marks, but the smoke ring indicates time has been taken for proper industrial slow cooking. Come here and try menu option number 1 or 2 which is the signature chicken in whole (1) or half form (2). The complementary charro beans are cooked with pork belly in a tomato base, and they are very good as far as pinto beans are concerned (savory meat flavor with the tomato acid for a grease cutter). The complementary yellow Spanish rice is below average and tastes more like bland chicken flavored rice instead of the red rice most of us are used to. Additionally, they give you a whole smoked dry onion with chicken purchase. The onion makes for a nice, pickle like, substitute. The avocado green sauce is dairy creamy with a strong kick of garlic. This green sauce is good for dipping your tortillas or chicken. The salsa bar offers three types of tomato salsa, green sauce, red onion habanero chutney, and limes. Test the red onion habanero chutney with caution as it is very hot and could possibly ruin your meal. Moderation is the key. I strongly recommend coming during lunch or dinner as off hours can offer less than prime examples of dried out jerky chicken. The prices are fast food like, but the quality is more up to fair family dining. Great place to take your family or friends for a quick healthy meal minus the charro beans (pork fat = yummy = hell on your arteries). I commend El Pollo Regio on their consistency, for a newer franchise, as all of the locations don't differ in quality. read more

I can't say enough about the food and the value. I always get the number 2 carne asada meal. It's about a pound of carne asada, 25 tortillas, rice, beans, pico, grilled onions, and a grilled jalapeno. Besides having the great carne asanda the grilled chicken is awesome too. Beware of the green sauce though. It may look like a nice avocado cream sauce but it's really more of a jalapeno/ habenero combo. Now they actually have a habenaro sauce and that stuff killllllllsssss!!!! read more

The best roasted chicken and roasted onion. I usually get a whole chicken and an extra onion to take home and make my own rice and beans to serve for a quick dinner. They also have a great tostada. Parking is ok but you have to be aware of the traffic when going back onto Beltline road. It can be a busy intersection there. Staff has been friendly but I have only eaten in once. Try the Jamaica (hibiscus water) it's yummy. read more

The Papa Regio (baked Potato) was great. Was a little difficult to order since the lady at the register spoke no English but we got through it :-) read more

See all

I usually find myself in this area heading to and from Vietnamese restaurants for a quick bite to eat. On many occasions I have passed Regio and noticed the best smelling smoke rising from the stack on top of this small restaurant. I made the decision to try it out several weeks ago and have been back twice since. The food is good and seems pretty authentic for a fast food joint. Prices are very reasonable too! read more

Chicken quesadillas were decent. The quality of the chicken was good and fresh. I didn't like any of the salsas or dipping sauces because they were all too hot for me. Also, word to the wise that the green stuff that looks like guacamole isn't actually guacamole--it's spicy and doesn't taste anything like it. And the stuff that looks like queso isn't queso. read more

Terrible customer service for starters, my husband asks the guy if they have chips and queso and he yelled nah and dragged it out, like who says nah to a customer? My husband said come again and then the guy says nah bro we ain't got none. Unprofessional. It was a long line and when we get to the window to pay, the lady says we have no rice and beans! Ugh now we wasted time just sitting here to end up leaving anyways because my son eats only rice and beans from there. Ridiculous. read more

Great food and the friendliest service. Love this place!! The half chicken is my go to and the perfect amount of food for two people. Pollo Regio is the best fast food option available. Make sure to get extra salsa verde because it's the best!! read more

I placed my order online for pickup and when I got there they said they gave my order to someone else and after repeating myself numerous times that that wasn't me so why'd you give them my food and she said "he said he was for doordash". After going back and forth she finally said she'll give me my food and kept telling me "this is the second time giving you food". It's not the second time bc she gave it to some random dude. I won't be coming back again. read more

First time here and I ordered a whole chicken. The chicken was dry and not tasty at all. Walmart rotisserie chicken is by far a lot better and costs only $5. Never going back here again! read more
