We were served quickly and the food was excellent. I had the pollo à la plancha and my husband ordered another chicken entree. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. It was clean and the staff was friendly. Would definitely try again! read more

First time placing an order and visiting Pollo Rico. The place is small with a clean ambiance. I ordered two Chicken Milanese plates with rice and beans, and both came with the soup of the day, which was extremely good. I just wish there had been more meat in the soup there were more potatoes, plantain, and yucca chunks than chicken. Since it was a pickup order, I wanted to add empanadas, but they mentioned it would take about 10 minutes, so I passed. Unfortunately, both servers were not very friendly and came across as dismissive, which took away from the overall experience. read more

Poor customer service provided to people they think are not Spanish speakers. Girls at the counter exchange nasty remarks in Spanish about me while I waited, I did not let them know I am also Spanish speaking. I took my order and left, will never patronize this place again and will advise others of the experience. read more

First time here was for breakfast but I wasn't impressed. After some convincing, I came back for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The service was awesome, Izaida steered me clear from what wasn't good on the menu and helped me make awesome choices. I tried - Meatball soup - wow! Apparently this soup is only available on Thursdays but it's definitely worth a try. Excellent quality. The meatballs were delicious. I love the soft potatoes and that everything inside the soup was cut up in bite sizes. This is one of the best soups I've ever had. 5/5 ($8.75) Pechuga a la plancha - this was really good and flavorful. The chicken was nicely seasoned. I got rice and beans for the side as well as plantains. Plantains were perfectly cooked with a nice and crispy exterior. 4/5 ($13.39) I really like this spot. The food tastes like home cooked meals which is very nice. I like how the place is decorated. I look forward to going back and exploring more of their menu. read more

If you like Colombian food! This is the place. Nothing fancy, but high quality food! Delicious! We have tried la mojarra frita, sobre barriga en salsa, sancocho de cola, and all is delicious! Service is good. Perfect place when you are looking for comfort food. read more

I ordered the 1/4 chicken special with rice and beans and have to say it used to be good but not this time. Firstly, I'm pretty sure the piece I got was not a quarter size and was actually microscopic. Secondly, the chicken was old and had no flavor, so I had to put the hot sauce on it for the flavor. Lastly, I will never be coming back to this restaurant and currently in search of a better Colombian eatery!! read more

Ive been a customer for years and sent numerous groups of people there... i called the other say while in the store next to them and she answered in Spanish (which is normal) i greeted her and asked to place an order ( while watching people walk in) she replied closed no more orders... ok ! Today i called said good afternoon ill like to place and order she said no English and hung up!!! The last time and i will use my platform about this one read more

As a colombian this place has to be top 2 in the tamarac area. nowadays theres so much colombian restaurants everywhere but most of them are bland to me The empanadas here took me back to my childhood in el parque llerass crispy crunchy not too thick (tends to be the theme when eating empanadas in USA the empanada casing is way too thich so their is no crunch) These were so perfect i truly had an emotional response to it LOL The churrasco is not a churrasco its more of a punta de anca like cut as they have everywhere in colombia (churrasco is not a prominent cut of meat in colombia) Its Not bad but isnt great just dont call it a churrasco. They have sancoho everyday the comes with their lunch specials!!! EXTRA points for this as its annoying only being able to order sancocho on sundays at most colombian places Every sunday they make a special sancocho el sancocho de cola (OXTAIL ALA colombian) Huge fan of this as its perfect hangover food Limonada de coco is fantastic the staff is amazing really the only downside is the churrasco they use everything else is phenomenal. The rotisserie chicken tastes exactly as it does on the streets of my country Since kokoriko closed all its locations in florida its hard to get that style of chicken but this place nails it!!! read more

I had to mull on this place for a bit before leaving a review. We love Colombian food, but always go to the same place and there are so many Colombian restaurants in the area, that I thought to try other places. First try, was a fail for me. First off, they don't serve ajiaco on Sunday's as every other Colombian restaurants I've even been in. It is served Monday's. Right there I wanted to leave, but the hubby convinced me to give it a try. Bandeja Paisa, another Colombian staple wasn't on the menu, to which the hubby wanted to leave then (didn't let him, payback's a bitch) we asked and they did serve it, se we stayed. They did have more chicken dishes than most, and that is a plus for me. I hardly eat red beef, or pork, and I only have seafood at places I know it's fresh, so my go to is alway chicken. I had the Pollo a la Criolla, which is a chicken breast fillet with a onion, tomatoes and pepper relish in tomato sauce, with rice and beans. It was decent. Not full of spices as I would have liked, but decent. The chicken fillet was big, which is a plus. Hubby had the small Bandeja Paisa, he wasn't too happy with it. The meat was small and paper thin, the pork rind was tiny, they do give you chorizo as well, but he didn't care for that, he wanted his pork rind dammit!! Rice portion was small, and the beans are poured right in the plate, which fills half of it, giving the impression of a larger meal. It was about $13.99 so I don't know how much the bigger serving would be. He didn't care for the meat, and that is the soul of this dish, so this place is out for us. Service was good, not overly friendly, but good. The place is small, and all the tables are placed very close together, so we had to maneuver our way to get out, since we were in a corner table, and there were large parties on all sides. They do have their regulars for what I saw. To find this place you have to know where it is (or find it through Yelp, as we did) so that speaks well for them. Just not for me. read more

Bait & Switch churrasco! Buyer beware - they post a beautiful photo of the meal. What do you get instead? Still trying to figure it out - fatty nasty piece of beef drizzled with chimichurri- when I called to complain about our take out order owner agreed to refund the bad experience. She didn't say to return the meal but for show we decided to send the steak. She had the nerve to issue a partial refund because we didn't bring the entire order!!!! Bad for business lady! WILL NEVER RETURN!!!! read more

Little hole in the wall. Pretty good food, small and cozy. Prices are a little high for the selection available but over all it was a great lunch. Friendly service not good for big parties. read more

Pollo Rico - Colombian Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

We've only eaten here once but it was delicious and we're looking forward to eating here again. Simple yet delicious dishes. We had the pechuga de pollo and the milanesa de pollo. Both plates were large. The milanesa was enough for me to take for another meal the next day and reheated very well. I subbed my maduros for the fried variety and even those reheated well. Our waitress spoke broken English but understood well enough to take our orders correctly. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff! read more

The food is excellent and the menu prices very reasonable, and the people in charge are very kind.. don't wait to visit .

I love this place ! It's one of my Colombian go to places. It's super close to where i live and the food is authentic. I love ordering their pollo a la plancha and their bistec. The food has so much flavor and not to mention affordable prices. On days that i don't want to cook i order over the phone and my food is literally ready in less than 15 minutes. It's very convenient. My parents swear by this place ! My mom raves about their chicken soup! Definitely recommend this place ! You won't regret it read more

I am on a small quest with my wife to find the best Colombian restaurant in the Coral Springs area. I am using the Bandeja Paisa, a typical Colombian dish as a point of comparison. At El Pollo Rico they have a large and a medium, i order the medium one for about $13. It had the usual rice, beans, one fried egg, avocado, meat, pork rinds, chorizo plantains and an arepa...yeah, it is a lot of food. Overall the dish was good, but not the best i have had. The meat was very thin, and therefore lacked juiciness or much flavor, the pork rinds was smaller than usual, but they compensated that by also including the chorizo (usually you get one or the other). The red beans were really good. The service was good and the place was clean. No the best but a good overall place. read more

One of my favorites Colombian restaurants!! 100% recommended! Try the bandeja paisa and their chuleta caleña!

Love this place. Every time I'm sick, I get their homemade soup. Their food is delicious. Clean, friendly and fast. Small and family oriented restaurant. read more

I was truly impressed with the food and the taste it was very busy when I went but I was able to sample different foods. I will say the hen soup and the chicken was amazing. read more

I remember the day my father came home with food from Pollo Rico, he was so excited to try this place over 8 years ago. Good Colombian rotisserie chicken that can compare to our homeland's finest, is hard to find. The sancocho has always been my favorite, but it's only offered on the weekends. I absolutely love homemade Colombian soup, I was raised on it and it brings me back. The owners are extremely friendly and treat you like family. The food is always freshly made and they also have a daily special that is $4.95 1/4 rotisserie chicken and 2 sides, you can beat that!!! If you are in the area of Tamarac, Mcnab and University stop by. read more

Consistently great food every time we go. Quick and friendly service. All of the food is fresh and the consistency of the way they cook their rice is delicious. I would love to say I am going to try something knew but I always get the same thing because I love it so much! This is one of our go to places in the city. Would recommend anyone to give it a try. Very reasonably priced as well. Will be back soon! read more

The food is great and they have way more of a selection than your typical Colombian restaurant has to offer. Service is sold and you'll really enjoy your experience there. read more

This is a very cute little Colombian restaurant located in the plaza near McNab. I had the grilled fish with fried green plantain and white rice. I downed it with an awesome mango smoothie with milk. Everything had a lot of flavor and the décor was very nice. I used to drive all the way out to Miami for Colombian food but not anymore. All their main dishes are between $10 to $20. The advertisers are from $5 to $10. drinks start at $2.50. read more

This was one of the most disappointing meals I've ever had. I ordered the daily special - 1/4 chicken with 2 sides (I chose the rice and beans) and my husband ordered the arroz con pollo with fried plantain. My question is, how can you make grilled chicken that's so flavorless? The chicken looked beautiful, but had no taste. I literally threw the meat out. The beans were tasty though and so was the rice, but really, no one gets extra points for white rice. My husband's arroz con pollo was decent. Not the best we've ever head but good enough if you want a rice-based dish. I don't plan on going on back. Nah. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you. read more

Some of the best Colombian food and amazing service. I would pay much more for the amount food and wish other places saw this as the way things should be. read more

This is s great place to eat authentic Colombian food. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We found this place through Yelp. Wasn't sure what to expect. Small and unassuming. When we went in I wasn't sure if this was really a sit down restaurant or a take-out place (it's both, apparently). We sat down and the waitress was quite nice. Like I said, we didn't know what type of Latin food this will be. It's Colombian, so the beans here are red, not black. I thought I'd be disappointed as my family is Cuban and we live on black beans, but the red beans here are excellent. For the most part, all the food was excellent. Only issue was the special. The chicken was bland. The different meats/steaks were delicious, though. I highly recommend and we will be returning. read more

The food is sooooo delish!! I do cantina which gives you a daily special during the week for $30. It is so big I always have left overs. My family loves it. Everyone is friendly and the owner is always there and treats you like family. I'm so glad I found this place. I would say the best Colombian food around. Try their cazuela de mariscos is to die for. read more

As a white American and Jewish boy, I can tell you that this food is muy fanatastico, and the people are so nice. The home made soup es mi favorito, whatever it is on that day. To get the 1/4 chicken and another side is a daily deal you can't beat. I am really blessed to live in the area, but I dare say that it would be well worth driving any distance to come and experience the food. Other 'pollo' places just don't compare. read more
