Went here for the first time in almost 20 years and to my pleasant surprise it is almost unchanged. It's a perfect laid back little hole in the wall. The menu is limited but the achiote seasoned roast chicken the accompanying sides are pitch perfect. They only take cash but there is an ATM next door.

Definitely agree with positive reviews here.... When you walk in, you get the sense that the guy in the back knows what he's doing.... I ordered to go and when I got back it was still piping hot fresh off the grill.... You could not ask for better mesquite style barbecue that has a flare of homemade cooking.... There are no lard in the beans and no pork cooked on the grill which makes it friendly to those who are sensitive to that.... I ordered the combo plate, a horchata, some rice for about $16 I ate like a king.... The beef was juicy and high quality tri-tip.... The chicken was amazing. Juicy, Smokey and flavorful. All the condiments complimented and did an excellent job of making this a symphony of authentic flavors... Possibly one of the best spots I've been to in Arizona.... The bean

A fantastic, authentic experience that beats everything else in the area by a mile. Be sure to bring cash, as cards aren't accepted. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the food is always hot. The pickled onions are worth mentioning as they add a fantastic flavor. An absolute gem of a restaurant that needs to be tried by everyone.

I love Pollo Supremo! I’ve been here a few times. Every time I come the food tastes better and better. The Carne is on point, the beans are perfect, salsa is perfectly seasoned with the perfect amount of heat. Tortillas are delicious. It’s conveniently located next door to HQ Head-shop and cartel coffee ☕️ is south of Pollo Supremo. I recommend bringing all your friends and family here.
