Pollo Unico is hands down my favorite Chicken spot in all of LA! The chicken is amazing every time and we come here a lot! It’s always juicy and has the best flavor. I don’t know what they season it with but it’s too good. Their hot salsa is incredible too, very flavorful! If you’re in the mood for good chicken, Pollo Unico is your spot!

Just like show and tell in class , I can't wait to share with you this amazing place: One place of delicious chicken with so reasonable price . 4 pieces of chicken combo cost $11 . I get coleslaw, potato salad with drink. Amazingly , this is the most flavourful chicken I ever had . Juicy in side and crispy outside . The flavour is in both skins as well as the savouring juicy meat . The side dishes taste like named restaurant dishes . The restaurant are cooking this wonderful chicken and side dishes with love , patience . Park is limited and don't park in Starbuck parking lot . Can you smell the chicken yet? A year later , every time, I am in town , El Pollo Unico is my first choice for food. On this particular day, I was early and waited outside for food. The owner opened the door early before the scheduled open time . How sweet is that ?

Some of the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. I love coming here, I’m here almost weekly. I would come a few times a week if I could! Definitely try it if you enjoy chicken. Very good food and great staff! Affordable and delicioso combos!

Chicken is delicious, and the sides are very good portion. The parking, however, is a nightmare. Also, the place needs renovating. The inside seating area area looks run down and old. However their food is very good and for that reason this place is a must visit.

The food was great. Best pollo in Pasadena for the buck. They had kiosks so no need to wait in line.

06/26/2021 When I arrive in California, my brother and I go to one of our favorite eating spots El Pollo Unico. I believe they opened in 1985… they’re still standing and so am I, lol. Originally located next to 7 Eleven on Orange Grove Blvd and Lake Ave. Although we haven't been to the restaurant in over 15 years. The food still tastes fabulous. The best part about our blast into the past, the owner and some staff still remembered us (from over 30+ years of eating their food, lol… almost brings a tear in my eye, wait that was the LA smog). As of writing, they have limited seating because of covid. The restaurant is somewhat small, most folks order their food to go. You can order food on their website ElPolloUnicoToGo.com, if you hate waiting in line.

Called the restaurant to tell them there were no tortillas in my delivery order those Postmates. I was told they never, never forgot to put the tortillas in any order. Well, they did. To resolve this, I could go pick up an order or tortillas, I was offered double tortillas in my next order, or $2 credit for my next order. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER MESSING UP MY ORDER.

I used to frequent this restaurant when they were across the street. I haven't been there in several years and I just went over the weekend and it was just as good as I remember. The potato salad is super delicious, no other chicken restaurant can beat the prices, eight piece combo with two very large sides and tortillas less than $25.
