El pollo chano is our local go to when we dont want to cook. Cant go wrong with the whole chicken meal. It'll easily feed a family of four or more if portioned out. Chicken is always grilled perfectly and the rice and beans are are flavorful. Need to try the ribs on the next visit.

First thing you’ll notice is the smell from the chicken in the smoker/grill. Smells great. Very fast, friendly service. Been multiple times now and the taste and quality have been consistent each time. I’ve eaten the pollo and carne asada burritos. Today the pollo burrito weighed in at 1 pound 12 ounces! Both proteins were seasoned well and balanced. The chicken is shredded- I do wonder how it would taste if it were chopped instead. Very generous with the red and green salsas. The red is an habenero/arbol mix with good heat but not extreme. The green is solid as well. Super fast service. Looks pretty clean from what I could see looking in the cart. Wish them the best at this location.

Low key food cart serving up delicious polo Asado de Carbon. That's chargrilled chicken in Inglés for the gringos... the flavor and freshness of the food was really good. They roast their chickens throughout the day using lump charcoal, so you always get a freshly roasted meat. You can taste the flavor and love put into this food. I got 2 tacos de pollo and 1 de carne asada with rice and beans and a Mexican coke for $16. The carne and pollo is very good. Juicy and fresh. 5 stars.

Amazing food! The tacos and burritos are packed with flavor, the pollo asado is always cooked perfectly, and the fresh meats make every bite even better. Great spot for authentic Mexican food.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Pollo Chano is an absolute gem! If you’re looking for the best food truck in town, look no further. My boy Sam runs this fantastic spot, and he truly knows how to deliver mouthwatering flavors. The biggest charcoal grill around ensures that every dish is grilled to perfection, giving it that delicious smoky taste we all love. Plus, the menu is fresh and changes daily, so there’s always something new to try. Whether you're a fan of juicy chicken or flavorful sides, El Pollo Chano has you covered. Highly recommend checking it out!
