This place reminds me of baja ranch in SB. I was so happy to find a place like it locally. Good customer service and really tasty marinade flavor on the chicken. I gotta say that the price was pretty decent for the 8 pcs meal bcz the pieces were big in size and had a lot of white meat. The sides were really good esp the corn on the cob! And the spanish rice. That pico de gallo is the best I've ever tasted! It's so mouth watering I don't know what else they put in it. I couldn't get enough of it with my chicken and tortilla. The horchata was delish and not too sweet. I'm definitely curious about the spicey chicken for next time. The only one small thing is that the chicken was a bit dry once you heat it up for leftovers. However the flavors are good and everything else is yum! It's hard to find a good chicken place I hate el pollo loco the smell is soo strong, the sides are bland and makes me sick. This is my new chicken place! read more

One of the best grilled chicken spots in pasadena especially the spicy chicken. I eat from here at least once a month. They're salsas are all great, rice and beans are solid but overshadowed by the chicken. They aren't bad by themselves but they don't compliment either. As it stands the chicken well worth it every time and the sides are good enough to not take away from the whole meal, so definitely check this place out because the overall meal won't disappoint. read more

So I got tired of Pollo-Loco & searched on Yelp (well... here... Haha). Till I found this place & loved it! I enjoy both their spicy & regular Chicken. I like that they give you an option... read more

Pollos Puebla #1 - Pretty good Chicken! - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

Really good grilled chicken. If you like it a little bit of spicy they have a spicy flavored one which is my favorite. The sides corn and coleslaw are my favorite. The menu is just chicken if your looking for more, this is not the place for you. I love this place you should try it. read more

It's good. The chicken is amazing I've never had better chicken in my life!!! The wait isn't long and it's one of the only good close restaurants to my house so the accessibility is a massive bonus. Other than that there isn't much to say except that Pollos Puebla #1 is one of if not the best chicken place in town. read more

The food was amazing and the server very enthusiastic and ready to help. The chicken was cooked very well but a little overpriced. I still recommend it to anyone looking for some good eats read more

Delicious chicken! We love the spicy version. Their pinto beans and Spanish rice are authentic and made fresh. Go to place for a quick dinner that tastes homemade. Also great when you're on a budget. We always order the whole chicken for leftovers the next day. The restaurant is really cool too if you choose to dine-in. Beautiful decor inspired by Mexico. read more

Great chicken - flavorful and great sides I'm a local and loved getting food here for dinner or for a larger party. read more

The service was good. Unfortunately, the food wasn't. The corn on the cob was mushy, boiled frozen corn. The corn tortillas were heated in the microwave sealed and served in a plastic bag. The rice had a waxy feeling, which means they are using hydrogenated oils in their food. Hydrogenated oils will kill you clogs your arteries and raises your cholesterol levels. read more

I LOVE the chicken here! I come here at least once or even twice a week and it is always amazing. The staff is wonderful, the overall vibe is great. I love this place!! read more

Great, tender, juicy chickens!! Stumped this little place when we wanted to eat around 8pm on a Sunday in Altadena. We were very please with the food, value, and customer service. Will be back :) read more

Pollos Puebla is my families go to meal ! We get it To go weekly. Love the spicyyyy version. read more

I'm in love with this chicken! The macaroni salad is my favorite. It's a little pricey so I go every once in a while. The only thing I noticed sometimes they are a little stingy with the salsa and utensils. You just have to ask for more and you should be fine. Great for lunch or a casual dining experience read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. The staff is very generous and they take Apple Pay ! Thank God because I left my wallet in my office ! Definitely will be coming back. read more

This place is expensive and chicken is dry. If you go in you will see the stacks of cooked chicken that they reheat.

Chicken was addicting. I would suggest getting the breast and wing part as it was larger than the thighs and leg part. I love the coleslaw and beans so you should probably try that one instead of the others. I love hot salsa that they have as it gives a little oomph for the chicken. I wiuld give it 5 but the place is not that inviting for some reason. Also, the portions for the chicken is smaller that the usual ones. read more

This place is not bad at all. I came here with my friend because we wanted to try something different. They are in a relatively sketchy area. They do have a small parking lot, however. The service is great. The people were very nice and the food came quickly. The food was pretty good. I got the two-piece order of chicken with tortillas, beans, and salsa. It was definitely good, but nothing spectacular. My only problem was the beans; they were served in water and they were cold. They weren't good at all. Overall, I had a good experience. It's a little bit of a drive from my house, so I won't be returning anytime soon. However, the next time I'm close by, I'll be sure to stop in. read more

Chicken was moist, flavorful and spicy!! Lunch was excellent, service was fast and the portions were plentiful. Will be back.

Excellent grilled chicken, like Pollo Loco but much much better, authentic Mexican style chicken.

I really like this place food is good a bit pricey but good, service is great, everyone is friendly and helpful.

One of my go-to places. The service is fast, prices are economical, and the roasted chicken is nicely seasoned and consistently well-cooked (and you can watch it being grilled). What more do you want when you don't feel like cooking. read more

I must confess I don't write yelp reviews often; for the good or bad. But in this case I just have to comment. My two chicken dinners tonight were REALLY BAD. The chicken was tasteless and rubbery; the corn-on-the-cobb and pinto beans had no flavor whatsoever and the tortillas were brittle (as if they'd been warmed up too many times). Even the salsa was a big disappointment. So watered downed that it wasn't even salsa. (The menu description read two salsas per order but I was only offered one each per order) I don't know what's going on here as their sister operation, Puebla's Tacos is still very good. Do yourself a favor; save your money and calories and go elsewhere for Mexican style grilled chicken. El Pollo Unico on Lake Ave or El Pollo Loco on Hill Ave are MUCH BETTER alternatives. read more

Rustic looking building with lots of parking. Chicken is good not great , I went there late so maybe it's my fault but the chicken was kinda dry even though I asked for it juicy. The sides are like pollo loco no definition just bland and uninspired. Tortillas are microwaved and are rubbery. We might go back but go earlier. read more

As the first reviewer stated, how this has not been reviewed is mind boggling. While chicken isn't always on my mind when I want to eat out, when I crave it, this is the place I head to. Today, I was sitting in my bed on this cold, rainy day and I really wanted flamebroiled chicken. Bing! Pollos Pueblaaa! I ordered to chicken meals, one for me and my mom. It's a breast, leg, and wing plus 2 sides for a little over $5. I split my meal into lunch and dinner. Who can beat that? The chicken is moist and plentiful while the chicken skin is thin and crispy with the perfect seasonings ( I think it may be just salt but it's still incredible nevertheless.) They give you a nice spicy pico de gallo and a lemon wedge on the side. read more

I have been to this establishment many times, I have to say each time I've been there I tried seeing the best in it. I was just so regretful after i ordered and I saw everyone's food being taken out. The quality was horrible, the taste was just as bad. I hope people will see this message and realize either find another restaurant or stick chipotle cause this place is crap. Sad excuse for Mexican restaurant! read more

Pollos Puebla #1 is tucked away in the Hen's Teeth Square strip mall. We've been twice and will come again. The good: *If you like spicy, then you'll get spicy here. The spicy chicken is not for the timid. *The potato salad is out of this world. I got it on a whim because I couldn't decide what we'd want as our third side in the combo meal, and we were so glad I ordered it. It's tangy and zippy and delicious. *You can get an amazing array of salsas (including a blow-your-face-off extra spicy kind), and cilantro and onions at their sister store at the corner of the square. Just go in and tell them you ordered your chicken from PP #1 and that you'd like additional salsas that they don't have in the other restaurant. *Service is friendly. *Orders are quick. *Prices are probably higher than places like El Pollo Loco, but they're not unreasonable. The not-as-good: *The chicken, while deliciously seasoned, is dry. Take it off the grill a little sooner, please! It's a downer to know the potential incredibleness the chicken could have been, had it not cooked as long. *The way the chicken is cut just wrong. It's not like any butcher would ever cut a chicken. It's more like someone was blindfolded and haphazardly took a cleaver to the chicken and whacked away. When you order "12 pieces" it is, numerically, 12 pieces, but not the typical pieces you would think of, like "wing" "leg" "thigh" or "breast." Sometimes bones are cut. And you'll get parts of one cut in half and connected to a part of another piece that should have been its own piece. This can also agitate the dryness factor, described above, especially when bones are cut or if you cut part of the muscle in half. read more

Once again, one of the best eateries if you are into chicken done right, Mexican style... this place is really worth the visit. Try it!

Pros: tacos are super loaded, burritos are semi-decent. Cons: tacos are expensive, burritos have too much beans and rice, horchata is watered down read more

There chicken is bomb! Had the spicy family meal ( all to myself...). Way better than fast food chicken chains. Fresh, hot, and greasy! Just the way mama bought it! read more

Great chicken! Way better than El Pollo Loco and cheaper too! The spicy chicken really really spicy and delicious. Ordered 8 pieces (1whole chicken) with 2 large sides (rice and beans) tortillas and salsa for $17. Will definitely return. There is also a little taco place in this same shopping center that is owned by the same people. I stopped in for a breakfast burrito the other day and that too was very good. Great service at both places! read more

cheap n tasty food. If you like spicy stuff, you should try their spicy chicken, it's good.

This place only does chicken and damn good chicken in that case. I eat here once a week and the quality and taste is what keeps me here once a week. So I recommend this place if you are craving some pollo asado with some beans and rice but they also have macaroni salad, potato salad, and corn on the cob. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the menu is so limiting. It's sort of like going to a hole in the wall El Pollo Loco, only way less options. The food was good and fairly cheap, but it is nothing that I feel like I would be missing out on if I didn't go again. The horchata drink was okay, but it wasn't to my taste. The only thing I really liked for whatever reason was the potato salad. read more

It's like El Pollo Loco and El Pollo Unico, but not salty. Chicken was moist and tasty. Sides were decent (corn and potato salad).

Yum, yum, YUM! Love this place! Their food is ridiculously good! Chicken is seasoned well and cooked perfectly, never dry! Great sides and their rice is not overcooked. Fast and friendly service. Great for take out and big parties! read more

Great Chicken! This place is way better than L Pollo Loco and it has a down-home Feel. The prices are a little bit on the expensive side but it's definitely worth the flavor of the meat as well as the sides. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for some good rotisserie chicken. read more

This is our favorite chicken spot. The chicken is nice and brown and we'll seasoned. Plis, the spicy adds a kick. The sides are nice portions and tasty too. It's a little more costly but we'll worth it. read more

was waiting for a friend to come out of a building right behind pollos Puebla, didnt try it but it smelled bbbooommmmbbb. Did I mention Im from "puebla" too! that alone bumps this spot to a 5 star!!!! read more

Recommended to me by friends. Chicken was tasty and moist. Beans, Rice, and Salsa delicious. Their price is comparable to El Pollo Loco. But, I would get dinner here again because it's locally owned and they treated me well. read more

I love the spicy chicken here. Only reason i take away one star is the fact I consistently get the wrong sauce I requested. Hot sauce =/= Hot salsa ;) read more
