Was Carlos Perez at Pollo Express a mag?
First time here, bargain exquisite chicken. Homemade salsa, chips included. Ordered a guacamole and it was perfect. The chicken can be ordered with rice and beans refried or 'charros ' this means soupy with bacon, sliced hot dogs, tomatoes and diced peppers. Great stuff. I will return. View all feedback.

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.

Good food and a nice and clean restaurant. I placed a pick up order. It was ready when I arrived, and the portions were worth the money.
