“ Authentic carne asada tacos! We stumbled on this place while in the area for an appointment and I'm so glad I followed my gut. The building looks like an old Wendy's maybe? Right off a busy street, and you wouldn't come here for the vibes- but the TACOS were EXCELLENT. 10/10 will be coming again ”
“ Got the family chicken plate (1 whole chicken and 3 sides). The chicken was good wish it had more char from charcoal grilling. We got the rice, beans, and fries as sides and all were delicious. Love the Puerto Rican style beans they have. The menu can be found here: https://cardselite.com/el-rey-del-pollo-palatine-menu/ ”
“ I can't believe I actually have never written a review for El Rey before. We love it and go here at least once a month for their roasted chicken. If you go here, get what they are known for: pollo asado (roasted chicken). It's insanely good. Also, I'm gluten free and I can eat the chicken without an issue. We also have gotten their tortas (sandwiches) which are also delicious for the gluten eating people you love. The sides to get are the frijoles, which are not like any other type of beans I've ever had. They are frijoles charros and are so incredibly delicious. Another side we like are the cebollitas, which are cooked green onions and are out of sight. The rice is just like any other type of rice, but my whole family loves that too so that's also what we order as a side. The chicken will come with a pack of corn tortillas, a couple extremely hot roasted jalapeños, and some salsas which are also on fire. We typically tell them we don't want the jalapeños or the salsas. Also if you speak Spanish, it will come in handy here. Highly recommend this place :) ”
“ Chicken is always good, sides are ok. Like that it comes with the grilled onion and jalapeño. ”
“ Now this is a spot. Huge portions. Amazing taste. Delicious salsas. Not expensive at all. And the service is always great. They even have a drive thru. I will be coming back! ”
“ Fantastic polla asado! Truly lives up to its name! Generous portions of beans and rice. Also comes with a dozen tortillas!! All mouth-watering goodness. ;-) ”
“ Cheap and delicious. We have been ordering their steak burritos and tacos forever. Chicken is delicious but we always eat chicken at home. When we order out we prefer steak. But that's what us not great here .., the beans are perfect -with spinach and bacon inside it's not like anything I've had elsewhere. Today we had a special treat. The ladies at the counter must of mixed up our order and gave us the Cuban sandwich instead. Finding out at home it seemed pointless to drive all the way back so we ate it anyway and it was great. Don't underestimate this gem. Love this place! ”
“ This place is amazing. What a gem!! I came here and ordered some meal special and I got two beef tacos with rice and beans for 6 and change including a drink, not only it was cheap but food was amazing, tasty and on point. Tacos were full with beef so is not like you get ripped off. Lavatory is super clean, place is well clean. This place also has a drive in so you can place your order. I must say i will continue to come. Amazing and I highly recommend. Lastly they have over 5 kinds of salsa ls home made and they are fabulous. ”
