★★★★★ 5.0 Jenette Arreola · May 2022

I am thrilled to have found El Pollo Rico! This is probably my favorite Latin restaurant in Raleigh! Their food is always well seasoned, flavorful, and you are served large portions (they’re consistent in terms of flavor and portions). I typically (as you can see) order (and thus recommend) the grilled chicken or carne azada (steak) with a side of plantains and charro beans with extra avocado- served with bell peppers and/or onions and pico de gallo. I am literally stuffed when I am done! 😆 The environment is always welcoming, waitresses are friendly and prices are unbeatable. Give this place a try! 😊

Food was so good, and the atmosphere was awesome! Great music, friendly staff, and tasty eats :) would highly recommend the pupusas.

Love this place. I've been here for lunch and breakfast. Had the pollo guisado for lunch and the size of the plate was big enough for me to take some leftovers to work. The tortillas are handmade and the whole meal reminded me of the food my mom used to make for us in El Salvador. The pupusas have been the best I've had so far here in Raleigh. Good spot for Salvadorian food 😋

Yummy place. The pupusas are by far the best here. Baleadas were ok and the carne was good. I would recommend the pupusas and prices are affordable.
