This place has great pollo nachos! Good salsa. Friendly service. Clean establishment. Easy parking.

So sad. Overcooked inedible beef and dry meatless chicken. Flavorless rice, beans and salsas. The guy working up front looked like he didn't want to be there. Place looked dirty. I don't understand the rave reviews on Yelp. I guess it didn't smell bad. Disappointing. read more

Stopped by on a Wednesday for dinner. Parking lot is kinda crazy since it's shared with EoS, and plenty of other stores in the strip mall. Friendly staff in a no frills spot. Got the $30 Plato Campechano between 2 ppl (half chicken, half a pound of Carne, flour and corn tortillas, rice, beans from the pot, salsas, grill jalapeños, guacamole, limes, and radishes). Decent amount of food, although the chicken and carne were both a bit dry. I enjoyed the beans and rice, and the additional accouterments. Overall, good flavor and seasonings, just dry protein. Not sure if that would change on a busier day if fresh food was being pumped out, but would be open to checking this place out again! read more

Pollos LaChuya - Plato Campechano - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I'm going to have to just call it out for what it is. I think this was a racial act. I ordered a meal and I asked for beans and a macaroni salad to go. I get it to go. And when I get home to open this bag that was tied together. An alarming amount of gnats flew out of the bag. I was like there is no way this was unintentional. When I open the bag my order is wrong. I got rice instead of the macaroni salad I ordered. I shrug it off like whatever it's all good. I start EATING THE RICE AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IS BUGS IN THE RICE. MIND YOU THE RICE WAS IN A SEALED CONTAINER inside the bag. I have no other choice but to compound this event with a wide range of other events I've experienced throughout my life within the Mexican community. From being charged more because I'm black, to receiving less portions of what I've payed for because I'm black. All of my Mexican friends had to bring this to my attention because I've chalked these experiences up to a simple mistake. But they reassured me it's not. We've compared prices for the same items. And portions for the same meals, and overall quality of food and things are always worse for me. This is another unfortunate experience. But I get the message now. read more

Chicken, rice and beans and all salsas were really good. Very satisfying meal and will go again. Service was friendly. Chicken is what they are doing and the chicken was crispy, well seasoned and fell off the bone. Was not a big fan of the carne asada, it was a bit chewy and bland compared Dontae chicken. read more

Pollos LaChuya - Part of whole grilled chicken - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I've been to this place multiple times. In fact it is on our weekly rotation because it is THAT GOOD. We have gotten their carne asada before which is also really good, but we order chicken most of the time. The chicken is very crispy and flavorful. Their flour and corn tortillas are always fresh and so good. We love the guacamole, the rice, beans and the sauce that comes with it. The owner is friendly. They have plenty of seating inside. This place is located right next to the Dollar Store. read more

I've gone here a couple times now and I think it's time for a review. The food here has always been amazing. It's a pretty quick dish out depending on the order. If you're looking for some great side carne asada tacos i'd recommend here. It's a small shop in the corner of a plaza right next to dollar tree. Very clean as well read more

The food here is incredible. Honestly some of the best chicken you can get anywhere in the valley. I love the salsas they have as well. Great friendly service every time. It does seem the portion sizes are getting smaller last couple times I've been but the food is so tasty. Anytime I'm in the area I try and make sure I'm able to stop here for lunch or dinner. read more

A very underrated gem of a restaurant that serves affordable and just delicious grilled chicken. We ordered the whole chicken with 2 sides and 2 drinks (hibiscus tea) came out to be $32 and we even had a full left over. Service is fast and easy. I highly recommend the grilled chicken. It has that nice smoky taste and texture is not dry. The hibiscus tea is served on ice and very refreshing, not too sweet. The restaurant is kind of tucked in the back corner of the plaza and inside it is nicely decorated and is clean. read more

This place hit the spot! You can smell the smoker as you walk up to the little restaurant. We ordered polo tacos and burritos. Everything had great flavor, but docking a star because chicken was a little dry. The horchata was good. Staff were friendly. Plenty of seating and parking. read more

Since Pollo Picante closed I figure I give this place a try. Ordered the full chicken dinner combo wich came with 2 sides (rice and beans). Also ordered side of guac and pickled onion. Large Jamaica for drink. Chicken was very yummy, nice crispy skin with nice charred flavor. Bean was soupy style but tasted good. Rice was very blend and lacked flavor, guac was pretty good and so was green salsa. The corn tortilla that came with the meal was also very yummy. Jamaica was tasty except large looked like medium size compare to other places. I wanted to give this place 4 stars but had issues with the kid that took our order. Friendly enough but main issue was that he was eating fast food and he took our order and did not wash his hand as he prepped our food and handed to us. Double whammy was when he went back to eat his fries and next customer came to order he licked his fingers and prepped the next customers food without washing his hands. Good thing he saved the finger licking for next customer and not my food.. I feel bad for giving this place 3 instead if 4 stars but how the food was prepped was not impressive. I will give this place another chance next time I have craving for chicken. This place is just as good as Pollo Lucas at Rocky Pt Mexico. read more

I'm floored on how great this food is and that it rarely gets talked about!! Absolutely floored!! Im guessing that since it's tucked away back in the corner of a strip mall next to a Dollar Store and a permanently closed grocery store no one sees it! I got the Half Campechano with a tamale on the side. The carna asada and the chicken were grilled perfectly!! Love this new spot?? read more

The service is wonderful - each order has been carefully prepared. The food is delicious! Ambiance is simple but welcoming! They have paletas (Mexican popsicles) and Mexican Sodas as well! All the sides are delicious! read more

Ordered the whole chicken on Uber after not eating here for a few years. I was worried that the delivery time would cause the chicken to be cold and extra dry. Everything was as good, if not better, than I remember. The chicken was freshly made and arrived nice and hot. Great flavor and juicy. I saw that they were making their own flour tortillas and had to try them. Yum! I regret not ordering extra. The fresh tomato salsa and flour tortillas with the chicken were the perfect combo. I'm not a huge fan of the rice and pasta salad, I felt like the rice could use more flavor. The extra side of beans however was amazing. read more

Muy buen servicio. Ayer pensé que no le pusieron tortillas a mi orden y la muchacha muy amable me remplazó las tortillas. Muy amables y rico comida tengo 3 años que he comprando de aki. read more

Incredible chicken, service, and also a great value! Had a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend

Love this place. Half chicken with beans and rice always hits the spot. Usually takes about 10 mins.

Great food and quick pick up! My family loves this place and we definitely recommend it!

Flamed grilled chicken at its best! The outside aroma filled the air leading me straight to the restaurant where I was amazed by the beautiful interior. With its warm and inviting interior, Pollos LaChuya complements its juicy and flavorful chicken with traditional decorative walls and distinctive wooden tables. Without a doubt, the highlight was the delicious chicken which was served with a wonderfully spicy salsa and a variety of sides. The service was quick and enjoyable, making it perfect for casual dining or special family occasions. I would recommend Pollos LaChuya to all and will be coming back. read more

Great food and micheladas, I stop by when I'm in the area for sure. You order at counter so service is good.

Chicken was slightly overcooked in places but tasted awesome. The charro beans were yummy!

Searched high and low for this type of steak and chicken. I was so happy to find this restaurant! Meat was a little overcooked, both steak and chicken but I'll be back! Chips and salsa were delicious. Salsas that come with your order were delish, spicy. read more

Tacos were great as was the chipotle chicken bowl. Food was hot and ready on time. Pickup was smooth.

This is the second time that I have been here. It's really far from my house so I thought that I would hit it up while in the area to introduce my wife. We both love Pollo Lucas in Rocky Point and Pollos LaChuya is the only mesquite grilled pollo in the valley that comes close to Pollo Lucas. We ordered the whole chicken that comes with corn tortillas, two large sides, we got rice and beans, pickled red onions, grilled jalapeños and limes for $18.99. This time the chicken was a bit dry but still flavorful. The beans come in a broth that they cook in and I'm in love with them. The rice is your typical Spanish rice with green onion thinly sliced into the rice. It's good but I mixed in their fire roasted green salsa. It's amazing. We got extra salsa to take home with our left overs. The whole chicken could feed a family of four although you might want to order two additional sides as they are not huge. Even with the dry chicken I will be back. It happens. It wasn't dry the first time I was here. read more

The food was solid. The chicken was not bad, it was a little over done. So it was a little dry. The asada was kind of dry as well but the flavor was good. It has that Smokey char. Everything was good. Not amazing or mind blowing. I came here with high expectations! Maybe that was the issue. read more

Grilled chicken cooked right, reasonable price, some low calorie alternatives. Nice ambiance, a lot of selections. I'll try to eat less desserts read more

Service was courteous and ambiance average. The food has good flavor but the portions were small and the chicken pieces, tiny. I expected better for an establishment that has 4.5 stars. We're 10 miles away and have many options in between. I would not go out of my way but would revisit if in the area. The meat tacos al carbon were tasty and the meat portion was adequate. The salsa was very good and has a kick! A suggestion for the restaurant's continued success is to consider the portion sizes for the chicken and side dishes. read more

Pollos LaChuya - One quarter chicken thigh and leg meal portion! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We found this little restaurant after doing a quick search on Yelp and decided to give it a try. First of all, we could smell the smoky meat before even entering the restaurant. That's a good thing! After some deliberation, we decided to share the Plato Campechano and added extra guacamole, salsa and chips. In hindsight, we would have added the pickled onions and maybe some pineapple instead. Not that the guacamole and salsa isn't good, a bit of tang would have added to meal. I liked the chicken the best and my husband really enjoyed the steak the most, which worked out perfect! Everything tasted fresh but the meat was the star. If we are ever in the area again we would be happy to eat here again. read more

Que Bueno! Simpre!!! Gracias!!! The chicken and corn tortillas are the best in all of the PHX metro - period! read more

I had a terrible experience at Pollos La Chuya. I specifically asked for fresh chicken waited 1 hour, but they gave me pre-cooked meat anyway. It was obvious from the texture and flavor that it wasn't freshly grilled. I don't understand why they would ignore a customer's request like that. The chicken was dry, flavorless, and disappointing. I've had better at fast food joints. I won't be returning. If you want fresh, properly cooked chicken, do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Employees were also very rude and laughed to my face! read more

I ordered the two piece dark meat plate. Everything tasted like nothing. I was so dissatisfied. I ordered the dark meat bc it's usually juicier. Dry AF ! Nothing has any sort of seasoning ! I was so pissed I paid so much for a garbage meal. So BLAND ! It really seems like they don't use any salt here so if you hate flavor order up read more

Pollos LaChuya - Carne Asada burrito - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I don't even have a picture of the food because is was so good I couldn't stop myself to take the pic. But don't worry, I'll be back and take some. We got the whole chicken with mashed potatoes and pasta salad. The chicken is insanely good. I'm not even a chicken person and it was salty and crispy and juicy with so much flavor. We put the mashed potatoes on the tortillas with salsa, a roasted pepper, and the meat. Best taco of my life. The 1/4 chicken with 1/4 steak is enough for 2 people if you aren't starving, else get the 1/2 portions. The steak was seasoned perfectly and crispy perfect for a taco. The rice is ok. The grilled pineapple is delightful and is awesome added to the taco. Get extra salsa - it's delicious. We recently moved to the area and will be coming here at least once a week I am sure. It's about $15 for a meal for 2 - can't beat it! read more

So gooood! Delivery is great. Try the nachos and natural water/agua fresca (rice and hibiscus).

One thing I'd like to point out- we bought the Groupon for $8 for $15 worth of food. I pulled it up and showed the cashier the voucher. She asked to take my phone and proceeded to click around on it not knowing what she was doing. She then said have you already used this before, it's showed redeemed. I told her I I just bought it and showed you the barcode. Eventually the manager came by and have us the credit but the cashier didn't admit her mistake or say what she clicked. Tip for the future - don't take your customers phones and click on it without their permission and if you don't know how to use the coupon or voucher code, ask before deleting it. Otherwise the food was delicious but I was really turned off by this service. read more

I ordered the full grilled chicken, that was delicious and at a good price. Will definitely return.
