Our office has been ordering from this place for over 12 years. When a new employee joins our team, we can't wait to introduce them to Pollo Express to just see their reaction on how good the chicken is. If you have never tried Pollo Express, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

No frills, bang for your buck chicken spot in Pilsen. The chicken is juicy and blasting with flavor cooked to perfection! Great service if you dine in and this place is no beef melt secret so it will get busy around dinner time with takeout orders. Will be back for a chicken combo again real soon!

I’ve been putting off coming here and I don’t know why. The place is phenomenal. Great flavor chicken. Very fresh.The burrito is everything I want out of a burrito; toasty on the outside so it holds its structure and doesn’t get soggy— excellent consistency and flavor throughout.Quesadilla was delicious as well. WOW, come here!!! You won’t regret it.

Amazing chicken. Flavor, char, tenderness and portion size is all very impressive. One of the best roasted half chickens we’ve ever had. Great sides too. Flavor is out of this world. Don’t miss this spot in Pilsen! (Photo of beer not from Pollo Express)
