El Pollo Rico # 9 2004 North Bell Boulevard, Cedar Park, TX 78613

"ordered Mex Mix, chicken pieces were extremely small, looked like some one pinched meat off, fajita meat was a small amount and dry, I usually order from the Rundburg location and am very pleased with the amount of food and servings, so I thought the 183 location would be as good, it's not"

"Have not been to this Mexican version of Fast Food since they occupied the old Jack in the Box building in Cedar Park! It was actually good then! Nice place, clean, set up relatively well, BUT..... I ordered the half chicken plate that comes with your choice of refried beans, sweet plantains, charro beans, or rice! I barely told her what I wanted and it was already on a tray in front of me, and she never even asked what sides I wanted, she just brought out the pre-portioned containerized rice and charro beans. There was something wrapped in white butcher paper, which turned out to be my half chicken! Went to get my DP... no CO²! They did fix that! Ok, here we go.... Unwrapped my "Pollo" package and it looked great! Honestly, the flavor was great, HOWEVER, it was very obvious that this bird has been cooked and packaged much earlier in the day or even from the day before. Not to mention the bird must have been a juvenile, because the drumstick was about the size of a Wingstop wing drum! The entire "1/2" chicken was about as much meat as a normal sized breast anywhere else! The beans were tasty, but undercooked, as some were still a bit hard! The rice was dry as a bone! I expressed my concern about the food NOT being fresh and was offered a refund, but I declined! I told her I came here for good fresh food and that I was very hungry and I was pretty much just disgusted with the whole deal and to keep your money! This is where American and Mexican culture collide! This is all normal to people from Mexico, but for $14, NOT ANY AMERICAN!"

"It was good! When you need fast food that is joyously not fried, this is an AWESOME option. It's quick and flavorful. I've had better charcoal chicken, but not near this accessible and affordable. 5 stars for all of those things! (Also they have fried sweet plantains which are delicious and such a good snack)"

"Have been here a couple of times now food is pretty good. Usually do a whole chicken, the setup is nice corn Tortillas , beans, rice, green sauce and grilled onion ...mmmmm. Also a big fan of their barbacoa tacos, not too greasy and full if flavor of course served with onion and cilantro and a lime wedge. My only complaint is they serve ya in a To go box complete with bag even if dining in lol seems not very cost effective but hey. Will definitely hit this spot again as it definitely hits my spot."
