"This is just on the building itself? I did not eat food from here. I visited this location purely to pick up a delivery order. However the stench in the air as I waited ten minutes to pick up the order inspired me to review the location l. Not only wasthere an overwhelming odor of possibly swerve or bad meat on the air the place was filthy. Every table had food dirt and grimeall over them. The floor was dirty and parts of the ceiling seemed to be overrun with mold. Not a place a would trust the foodquality within."

Pollo Rico is so good it’s embarrassing for every other chicken place in Austin. This is the best chicken in town, easy. Get in line, folks. Order a whole chicken. Get a side of plantains. Use the green salsa. Buckle up.

Order a whole chicken and as always it is over cooked and white meat(breast) are very dry, you need to drown it with hot sauce and lime, but also this does not always work! If you pay $40 for a meal there, at least get it right! View menu

Order a whole chicken and as always it's over cooked and white meat( breast) are very dry, you have to drown it with hot sauce and lime, but even that doesn't always work! When you pay $40+ for a meal there, at least get it right please!

It's just on the building itself? I didn't eat food here. I visited this place to pick up a delivery order. But the stall in the air, when I waited ten minutes to get the order, inspired me to check the location l. Not only was there an overwhelming smell of possibly floating or bad meat on the air the place was dirty. Every table had food dirt and Grimm over them. The floor was dirty and parts of the ceiling seemed to overflow with mold. Not a place where you trust food quality.
