"Honestly when I went to McAllen, I was expecting to eat some of the best Mexican food of my life. Every sit-down restaurant I went to disappointed me with dry, overcooked meat. The best meal I ate in McAllen was honestly from Pollo Palenque! The chicken was so flavorful! This place is like El Pollo Loco, but so much better! The fresh salsa bar and the free chips seals the deal, and my sides of charro beans and mac salad were both great as well (even though the mac salad had ham in it and I'm really not into that, it was still good). Seems crazy to say about a fast food joint, but if there was one place make a point to eat at again if I'm in McAllen, it's here. Really could use a good scrub-down, though. Only complaint is that the place is rather dirty."
