Foods always fresh and hot, my family of five have more than enough and for seconds too. Affordable and quick always coming back to this place.

We tried this place for the first time today and it was 10/10! From the atmosphere to the food, everything was spot on! The service was quick and the food was plentiful.
Definitely recommend for an authentic pollo asada experience!

The chicken and corn tortillas I love from that place. The chicken is the best I've ever eaten, a bit pricey though.
I don't like their fajitas, ribs. Sausage

Omgosh! I had pollo asado for dinner for my last night in SA and holy cow! I also ordered beans and guac & pico. Everything was BOMB!!

I got it delivered, and it was perfectly packaged

Pollos Asados should be strongly considered if you are in San Antonio area.
Thanks to Yelp, I was able to find this place that was near where I was working.
I love the places that are friendly, clean and serve terrific food.
I had the beef fajitas and they were great!
With the fajitas, comes charro beans, corn tortillas, rice and pico.
I'm telling you it was great and the portions are large.
While checking out, I noticed the desserts. Yes, I was talked into getting the 4 Leches cake!!
Excellent!!

Another yelp success. Rolled into San Antonio looked on yelp to find a good taco restaurant came upon this place. Husband and I walked into a clean, small, very customer friendly restaurant and were asked to seat ourselves. Our fabulous waiter came took our order we both ordered sweet tea with lemon, they brought lime which was fabulous. It's some thing about lime and sweet tea that made our drink perfect.
Our waiter was absolutely wonderful very informative we told him we wanted a little bit of everything and he suggested the Parillada which is the pollo asado, fajitas, beef short ribs, sausage, rice, charro beans, both red and green salsa, and tortillas. We got all of that food for under $40. It was well worth every penny of it. We had a lot of leftovers that we enjoyed later. I would highly recommend this place the next time you're in San Antonio

A waist of my good money! The only reason I brought the food was because I had not eaten all day and not sure how long I was going to be with my bus in the shop. I was over charged by a dollar, judge me as u want to ....over charging is a form of dishonesty. I should have known not to patronize the business because there was no cars in the parking lot. This rice was moist, is the only good thing I can say. 2 stars because the rice was good.

Food was wonderful. Service was great. We love getting the family chicken that comes with rice beans and tea

Great grilled chicken! Awesome flavor. The only reason this isn't 5 star is that you can't just get a 2 piece meal or order only dark or only white meat. I don't need half a chicken for myself and I would prefer dark meat. I hate to waste, so I can only come if someone comes with me to eat the white meat. Great desserts too!
