El Pollo Rico 7 - New Braunfels

This place was highly recommended to me. As a grilled chicken fan, I'm always looking for chicken restaurants. Chicken is not fresh off the grill. In fact, it is served wrapped, and when you unwrap it, it looks like it's been seating there awhile already. It's wrinkled, greasy, and the dirty wrapping doesn't help. What's up with the green vomit they call green salsa? And don't get me going on the tomato paste they call red salsa. Flavor it's ok, but by the time you unwrap the chicken, it lost all appeal. It might be the best, for New Braunfels. In it's defense, all grilled chicken in the Greater San Antonio area is very generic, all tastes the same, like they all shop at the same stores. The place is very clean though, although the lay out of the furniture is not very inviting.

The food is outstanding! It’s seasoned well, fresh, and tasty. The service was quick and friendly. It’s a small joint so don’t expect an upscale ambience. Enjoy!Food: 5/5

Did not go inside but good food. got the half chicken, size was small but tasty. Had a bit oftrouble understanding and making myself understood. Tortillas were store bought. If you can afford it the food was very tasty.Food: 5/5

The place may look like a dive and the dine in ambiance may not impress but the food is amazing. Their rotisserie style roasted chicken is to die for. Perfectly seasoned and charred and delicious! The charro style beans are the best of any other restaurant in New Braunfels or San Antonio, the plantains are reminiscent of back home and the corn tortillas are perfect. In short, you need to try the food at El Pollo Rico!!! The staff has always been efficient and helpful during all my visits. Oh, the green salsa is another highlight and compliments the chicken oh so well.

The food was good. The service was bad. They're needing someone with better training to work the register. The young man working the register when asked a question, was unable to answer and when he did answer we couldn't hardly hear him ?!Food: 5/5
