I got the chicken nachos and the chips were so stale and nasty. Waaaay too much ball park cheese that ended up making the lettuce they put on it soggy and ... just not a great experience. The feel of this place is like a regular fast food restaurant and the service was quick, but the food wasn't that great. read more

El peor servicio ! Los empleados hablando en el chisme , y agarrando el teléfono y la comida al mismo tiempo , estuve 1 hora esperando y no había ningún cliente , JAMÁS VUELVO A ESTE LUGAR Y NO LO RECOMIENDO... read more

Good hot wings!! Saucy and crispy. Definitely will be back for more. Grilled chicken looks like it needs a try. read more

Rico Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Mountain View, Colorado

This is the perfect family meal. They have been around for as long as I can remember and the chicken is phenomenal.

Delicious! I got the 1/4 chicken dark meat and it was excellent. The sides and tortillas were also very good. I highly recommend it!

Great Chicken, but I was wondering where you get your wingless Chickens from? Because when I see "Whole Chicken" I expect to se wings in my order. Then you have a whole wing menu??? Are you taking the wings we pay for to supplement your income? is that why you chop the poor chicken to pieces? Love your chicken, I just think you are cheating us and charging us for parts of the chicken we don't get. Am I wrong people? Aren't you as angry as I am? You want wings with your 'whole' chicken? Well... You need to pay EXTRA! Whaaat? read more

Came in almost an hour before close and was told they didn't have enough green chili for 2 orders, and and when asked for a simple request of chips on the side for nachos, the malicious compliance was that of the entire order was put in separate containers, to be assembled later .. and after a 20 minute wait, another order came in, waited, recieved their order and left well before my order was handed to me. I was friendly and forgiving the whole time, but the attitude of the manager was that of you are putting me out by ordering food, please go someplace else. The entire staff had a lousy attitude as a matter of fact, no one had the slightest bit of urgency, and they continued to close down the restaurant, with 5 or 6 employees (so they were not short-staffed at all), and I felt very unwelcome the entire time. I could not recommend this place to anyone. Go someplace, anyplace else - you will have a better experience. Even after the long wait, the food was not that good - it had a burned taste. One of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant in years. If I was any one of those employees working on the night of 2/22, I would be ashamed of myself. read more

Hubs and I have been on the hunt for this kind of Mexican chicken...and Rico pollo scratched that itch. It's not quite the same as Pollo Regio (grilled chicken estilo Monterrey) from Texas but similar style. The had chicken is a decent size for 2 people. Definitely better quality than El Pollo Loco! read more

super bad service the employees it's always talking en El chisme .and give us the wrong order for 2 time I never come back to this place .

Placed an order today and the young lady that took my order did not change her gloves after taking my payment she went back to flipping tortillas with the same gloves gross! read more

The best smooth beans ever! Been coming to this place since I was a child, and now it's my favorite taco dinner for the nights that I'm not feeling up to the task of cooking. I get the whole chicken dinner for 2 ppl and it feeds us for dinner, each of our lunches the next day, and often dinner again. I usually get extra sides of rice and beans, just to stretch the leftovers even longer. The best part is I get all that for $31. I imagine it would satisfy a family of 4. read more

Rico Pollo - Whole roast chicken plus all the fixings. - Mexican Near Me - Mountain View, Colorado

Just made my first and last visit to Rico Pollo. The good. Clean and sparkling during the opening hours. Shredded chicken was tasty. Lots of spices. The Average. Counter staff was somewhat distant. The ugly. "No flautas today." They are the cheapest item on the menu at $3 and you don't have any? Microwaved nachos with cheese wiz. Best of all, they do the microwaving right in front of you at the counter. Expensive. Nachos de Pollo + drink was $9. I can eat a Chipotle for that and get better food. (A 1/2 chicken is $14. Mama Sanninos gives you a 1/2 chicken AND a side of spaghetti for less.) Temperature was freezing in the second (north side) dining area. No Wi-Fi. Very low-end paper napkins. read more

Was a little hesitant at first. Ordered dark meat pollo and some flautas. Pollo was so juicy and tender. Flautas are good but prefer to eat them there and not to go, but still delicious. We will be going back for sure! Menu is a little confusing but we finally got it right. Didn't take a pic but still very Yummo! Service was a little slow cashier was having a hard time understanding us as she only spoke Spanish which is fine but when asked for help no one seemed to want to help her. read more

Yum! Love this place. Quick, reasonably priced and always delicious. The meals come with rice, beans, grilled onions, jalapenos, a mix of salsa and a ton of tortillas! Totally enough to feed a family read more

10 mim to close I asked for chicken wings and they said they couldn't sale at that time , than I asked for some chicken legs and when I said I was going to eat there they said was only to go so I gave up and left. read more

Chicken is really good, my parents always come to this place when they want some good chicken. They order a whole chicken, well done, with rice and beans on the side and some good sauces. I haven't really tried anything else on the menu, read more

Amazing Chicken. We love this place. Nicer than the other locations in town. I bring my family and get a ton of food for a reasonable price.

Great Mexican chicken, spiced perfectly. Rice and beans delicious. Great place for a family meal to go with leftovers the next day. Love this place! read more

First time here, ordered half chicken to go. Excellent smoky spiced flavor, along with Mexican rice, refried beans, sauces (hot!), onions, 2 huge jalapenos and tons of corn tortillas. Couldn't be better! read more

Definitely tasty food. I'd like to see more menu options, like a chicken bowl, guacamole, etc. read more

Ordered wings for the Superbowl, they were burnt . Very disappointed. Seems like since the manager left the food has went down hill.

Had the 2 Flauta Plate, very tasty & flavorable. Clean & roomy restaurant. Noisy due to the kitchen's venting of the stoves heat, permiating thoughtout the restaurant. read more

Love their smothered burritos. They are definitely one of the best in Denver, without question! read more

Rico Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Mountain View, Colorado

Sparkling clean restaurant and bathrooms. Ordered the whole chicken (no wings, so I don't understand why they call it whole) I asked the cashier if I could order two additional thighs without sides, after checking with another employee which clearly said yes, two thighs for $3.50, I decided to add them to the whole incomplete chicken without wings. I received 3 plates with chicken, beans, rice and grilled jalapeños & onions and one plate with a single thigh cut in half. I asked the same girl (not the cashier) that clearly quoted me two thighs chicken only for $3.50 and she said that they had made a mistake, it was $3.50 each! If I wanted two I had to pay for the second one, she was sorry for the misunderstanding. Overall the chicken was good, not great (the breasts were very dry) and the chicken is smaller than average hence the 3 stars. Will have to look for another place. Coming from California, we're spoiled by El Pollo Loco. Great food and even better customer service. read more

The grilled chicken here is so good, always get a plate with their salsa, pickled pink onions tortillas beans and rice, cheaply priced and super fast service. The inside is typical of an establishment like this and is clean, and you can see the guys grilling the chicken so there are no secrets. Could eat here daily. read more

This is my favorite grilled chicken ever!!!! The chicken is so juicy and crispy at the same time. I do not what they do but they make sure the flavor stays in the chicken. Great place to eat!!! read more

Great and affordable. Just confused on their system. I sometimes go after 4 and they tell me there's no chicken... only flautas.. but chicken is all they serve. Besides that it's great food read more

I always find myself craving Rico Pollo on one of those Friday nights that I don't want to cook but I also don't want to go out. The hus and I always get a whole chicken meal and end up having leftovers that last a couple more meals. It's slightly reminiscent of El Pollo Loco in California, however I'd say the quality is better. The menu is rather limited but that doesn't bother me because I believe they should just focus on what they do best, whole and half chickens. The counter staff was cordial, not overly accommodating or talkative but I suspect there is somewhat of a language barrier. I appreciate that I usually seem them cleaning. I'm hoping this place lasts! read more

Whomever is giving this place anything less than 4 stars is just a hater. This is a place to come get food for the fam, drive back home and enjoy the leftovers for a day or two after. Pollo Entero is the best deal and provides you with plenty to eat. Wings are super delicious too. Always clean and friendly staff. Me encanta Rico Pollo!!! read more

Got the half-chicken for like $10 and barely got enough meat off the tasty, grilled backs and wings to fill a taco. I miss El Pollo Loco in California! read more

Really good food the place is always very clean and staff for the most part is friendly and helpful. Went there a few nights ago for dinner and was served by this asian gentleman and boy let me tell you his customer service was outstanding. He helped me through the menu helped me to order the best possible meal for my family and was just so nice hardworking and friendly. Rico Pollo should appreciate having an employee like that. Got home all the food was fresh hot and soooooo good! Rice perfect beans great taste and smooth and the chicken was cooked all the way through and full of flavor. Great job Rico Pollo. Be back real soon! read more

Best smothered burrito in Denver. Chicken quesadilla was plentiful, and incredible and very spicy which is a good thing. 5 stars and 5 fire emojis. read more

Love it! Got the full chicken meal and it fed 3 adults. Came with lots of rice, beans, peppers, onions, tortillas & sauces. Maybe kind of mild for some, but I liked how I could adjust my own heat with the peppers. A little expensive, but worth the splurge. (Be a careful driver, it's in Mountain View and they will ticket for ANYTHING) read more

Really good chicken. Lol. Did another reviewer really criticize them on the quality of their paper napkins? read more

The green chili breakfast burritos are great ... I always ask for more lettuce, but they still want to scrimp on something that costs 'em 1 cent to provide ... but since this place took the place of what was probably one of the most ghetto businesses in Mountain View (JUGGS!!!), 5 stars baby!! THANK YOU for turning this eye sore and laughing stock into something the neighborhood really NEEDS ... goodonyas!! The one over on East Colfax always puts tons of lettuce on top which I love ... suggestion : owner should consider doing some product quality consistency sampling from multiple locations. The chicken dinners are great too and always last about 2-3 meals ... Rico! Pollo! ;) read more

Me and boyfriend were looking forward to checking out RP, just opened in the neighbourhood. I was hungry, so ordered the half chicken, about $12, he ordered 1/4, about $8. Chicken was dried out, and very small pieces. Being accustomed to El Pollo Loco in CA (fast food chain) I was expecting comparable taste and quality. Not even close. My verdict - EPIC DISAPPOINTMENT. read more

Come here all the time. Best Mexican Chicken Period. Like the salsas and extras you get especially the grilled green onions. Inside of the restaurant is casual and the staff are nice. read more

Have been coming to this restaurant for years and years, before this location on 44th and Sheridan I would dine in or take out at 52nd and federal, always left there with extra food or was VERY full! Within the past calendar year the portions have been so little I'm still hungry when I leave or should I say starving! My whole family agrees. Tonight ordered half chicken dark and received less than a quarter, called them back to ask if I needed to bring the food they said just come back so I did. Just for them to argue over and over and over and over and over again with me saying it was correct when it wasn't. Treated me like I was stealing from them when I've spent thousands of dollars over the years in their restaurants. If that's a half a chicken that is the smallest chicken I have ever seen! It's sad to say that I give this place a -5 stars and I don't recommend it anymore to anybody! You get more money worth going to Arby's next door. WASTE OF MY MONEY. Rather of made ramen noodles for dinner. read more
