Okay, I’m bumping it up a star. The food is good here, but still have those little flaws. Steak Taco — This was good, but she really put those onions on it. Half Chicken Combo — Chicken was hot and moist. They gave us refried beans this time, but I don’t eat beans, but my guy had no complaints. Chips and Salsa — They actually had two salsas this time. One was smokey and one was more like a pico de gallo salsa. Okay, my guy asked for water and they had ice. YES! Well, I got a can of Coke and it was barely cold. BOO! Only one thing worst than warm Coke and that’s NO Coke! Will be back for sure!

I had the half chicken special, side of beans(charros) and rice with a drink. The chicken was cooked well and seasoned perfectly. It was juicy and tasty. The charro style beans were quite tasty. The rice was fluffy and cooked correctly. The portion is big, I could not eat it all. The service was fast and friendly. The dining area was clean and well kept. I would definitely go back. It’s a fast food place but feels like a very good sit down restaurant.

Everything here is delicious. I am a huge fan of pollo express in pilsen. When I found out that they were opening another location with an expanded menu I was so happy. Been here several times and have tried pretty much everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed. The tortillas are made fresh at this location and they offer arracheras, cochinita pibil and birria. Sometimes they run out of things, but I’ll just order something else. No biggie. My go to restaurant in Gage park. And they take credit cards at this location. Yay!

Always pass by this place since it was opened and wondered what the food was like. My mother in law ordered take out and to my surprise the chicken was great. They were fast, prompt and food was flavorful!

from the charcoal grilled chicken to the seared crust on the tortilla, this is what burritos aspire to be. putting one of these delicious monsters into your facehole is a religious experience. it sometimes takes a little time for them to make it, but that’s because they’re artists, lovingly crafting a perfect burrito experience for you to enjoy.

After a barrage of «ya gotta go here and try the chicken and arrachera» from my co-workers, my wife and I — big foodies — paid a visit last night and were pretty much wowed by the flavors, the service, and the clean organized nature of this new opening.(By the way — this is a «city worker» haven at lunch, so you know it has to be good!). The indoor grill with mesquite wood is a wonder in itself. It is so well attended by the staff, that we got tired just watching them work so hard to keep the fires burning with fresh coal, and keeping a watchful eye on the chicken grilling on the suspended wire rack. Then there’s the guacamole guy. He mashes the crap out of the avocado with a cup in a huge bowl for a long time, producing an incredibly creamy dish. Absolutely the best guac I have had in the city! I had the Arrachera Combo of a 10″ steak, cebollitas, guac, charro beans, and not-your-typical Mexican rice for $ 13.95! The steak was so tender and flavorful from the mesquite grill. My wife had the Chicken Bowl($ 6.65), that is basically everything you put on a taco, but assembled diced up in a bowl for you. All you have to do is make your own tacos if you want, or just eat out of the bowl. The mesquite chicken is so juicy and tender. The restaurant is modern and very clean. The workers labor very hard in the open kitchen, manning the grill and dicing up the fresh ingredients. It was nice to go into a clean, modern, un-graffit-ed bathroom for a change! This place really does steak and chicken right. Go and enjoy«the show» and a great Mexican meal.

Have you heard about that chicken place on 18th St that is super famous? well they are some how related. I saw that this place opened and knew that I had to check it out. a couple of moths passed by and never made it here till last Saturday. Usual morning for me, relax all morning long, then have brunch and relax some more, or so that was my plan. Long story short, sister call me, pick up nephew from airport and drive him to NWIN. Not before I eat something. We pick him up and I made the mistake of asking them were did they want to eat? Oh big mistake, I don’t want this or that, not that place, I don’t want Mexican. I just drove them here and told them we are having chicken, lol. I had seen the menu before and some of the dishes looked great. We get there and park right in front. One whole chicken with, rice and charro beans, arrachera plate and quesadilla de pollo. I had seen on their menu some interesting side dishes, e.g. ensalada de nopales(cactus salad) but they did not have a few of the sides listed on the menu so –1* for that. Aside from that, everything else was right on, the chicken was flavorful and moist, rice and beans were solid good, salsas are pretty good. Arachera plate was perfect. Perfectly cooked arrachera, rice, beans and guacamole. Hand made tortillas for it all. Nice place, cool service and unbeatable prices. Def a come back place for me
