Food was fabulous and service amazing. My husband and I loved everything
The atmosphere was very very nice and we really enjoyed our time
Absolutely amazing food was amazing service was fantastic had such a great time. I shall return
Fab time as always at El Pollote with unique and tasty food, lots of gf options, delicious beer & cocktails and fun service. Only minor moan would be there was a right racket coming from the kitchen as they were using what seemed to be an industrial-style blender to make some salsa for 5 minutes (I understand there’s always going to be some clattering but this was sooooooo incredibly loud it was laughable!).
Food is good. Service.. had to ask to be served. The attitude then kicked off on positive and friendly note, however lacking common sense. I suspect staff were just fed up. Overall good given quality of that lovely pollo! ☺️
Amazing gluten free items, superb food and lovely staff. Can highly recommend
Friendly staff. Sat at table right beside the hot plate so was very noisy and busy with a lot of staff right over our table. The chicken was super fresh with a great fry/batter however the burger was lacking in sauce/flavour combination. A little disappointment as we came by this spot from TikTok; sadly it fell short of expectation. Would give it 6/10.
We enjoyed the time, the staff were very friendly and the food and drinks were very good
Incredible food! Great if you’re a coeliac like me but everyone else had a wonderful meal as well
I visiting years ago when you didn’t have a restaurant and it was some of the best food I’d ever had to was exiting to try your food now you have a restaurant so I travelled 3 hours to get there and pre booked for lunch. When we arrived the staff weren’t very friendly sat us right by the door so kept getting the cold air and breeze on us. The music was so loud couldn’t hear each other speak and the lady was polishing cutlery so loud that it’s all we could hear at one point. I was excited to try the Noel burger but for £16 it was really disappointing there was barely and turkey in the burger and it was small for the price not worth £16. I also got the yuca fries which was also a very small portion and where basically just covered in feta cheese I had barely any avacado. The staff didn’t check back to see how are meal was we weren’t offered any desserts so we just got up and asked for the bill.
Great food and cocktails! Looking forward to next visit! x
Very kind staff, helped us get a table an hour before our original reservation time and gave us a nice table nevertheless. The food was amazing, we loved all the gluten free options and it tasted great!
Service was poor and cost was high. Food quality remains grea but I expect top top quality for the price
It was a great experience! The hostess was awaited us. The food was quite tasty and the personnel very friendly.
Food was pretty bland and the service was a bit chaotic.
The item I went there for was out of stock :( Everything we did have was delicious though.
So good treatment specially if you speak Spanish and good chicken
Great food and friendly service . Would recommend and go again
The food was amazing, the service from our waitress Angelika was perfect. Fully recommend.
The service was a bit slow and they kept bringing food and drinks that were meant for another table. I ordered the pork which was dry and tough. My friend had the tropical burger which she enjoyed however. So pretty average overall.
Good food, clean venue and great service. I would recommend it.
Great food and great service as usual. Love this place.
Amazing food that you wouldn’t get anywhere else. Portion sizes are generous
The evening was very nice, we did enjoy the food and the drinks, the staff was very friendly
Amazing food served hot and fresh. Delicious Latin American flavours. I tried the Borough22 donut X El Pollote collab and that was well worth it. I'll be back again for the rest of their usual menu. The staff were phenomenal as well, super friendly, super efficient. We sat downstairs which was really cool. Super cool decor.
The food was excellent from start to finish. What a lovely restaurant! Cant wait to return
Great. Lovely staff. Good food and drinks. Would recommend. Thumbs up.
Thank you very much for the nice time we had. Everything went very well. Food and drinks were very good
Amazing time. Service great (Angelica) Would go again without a doubt
Tasty food, especially the wings, tropical burger, yuca fries and arepas -and service!!!
They messed up my birthday reservation. Apparently there was a special event with a set menu. They tried to inform me but made a typo in my email, but then kind of blamed it on me. The table was only available for an hour, so we had a drink and left. They brought guacamole as a gift but then later charged for it. Never seen anything so unprofessional.
The atmosphere was very good, the staff were very friendly, the food was also good
Superb food and even better service - will definitely be back
I had the pork but it was so tough I couldn’t bite into it. I was then given a different main after complaining but the chicken didn’t taste that fresh and I wasn’t a fan of the sauce coating. My friend also tried it and felt the same. Overall food was very disappointing. On top of that we were seated by the kitchen and half way through our meal a chef started hacking at their freezer trying to remove all the ice, we struggled to hear each other talking and it ruined the atmosphere.
Todo muy bien. Comida rica y camarera muy simpática. Muy buen ambiente
Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere, just great
Il cibo ottimo, e l'atmosfera molto accogliente, ci tornerei sicuramente.
Willi, the owner, knows his business. Great food recomendation, best cocktails, glutenfree beer and tasty food. Thanks, we are comming back!
Sehr leckeres Essen! Die Sauce für die chicken Wings ist preisgekrönt und köstlich!! Auch sehr nette Bedienung
the staff was very friendly, the food was good thank you and we will come back again
Food was expensive and not incredible - £60, no drinks - (salad, 4 corn tacos with meat and a portion of corn, and a burger and chips) and burgers come without sides. It wasn't bad food, just the price of it all caused a bitter taste in my mouth. Service was great, music was quite loud but that's alright for some people!
El personal maravilloso y la comida también!! Para repetir de nuevo!
We were charged for something we didn't consume and we could feel a tense atmosphere among the staff. Service could be a bit quicker. And 12.5% of service charge for what we got was crazy. But food was delicious. Thank you!
Friendly staff, but loud and small area. Food was okay but overall not a bad experience.
We had a fantastic meal at a Mexican restaurant! Walter, one of the staff members, was incredibly attentive and made our visit even more enjoyable. The food, especially the burger, was wonderfully spicy and delicious – we absolutely loved it! The desserts were phenomenal as well. Highly recommended!
Great staff, amazing food! Superb evening - thanks all. :)
Very good chicken and chips, and loads of gluten free options
Excellent food - and plenty of GF options. The boneless thigh was amazing - as were the Avocado Arepas.
Loved it. Really tasty, great food, fun atmosphere. And great for a coeliac too.
Food was not as good as I’d hoped from reviews. I ordered the pork belly, but sadly had to sent it back. Could see how dry it was when it arrived. Tried to eat it, chewy, dry and not very edible. Had to send it back. Replaced it with a burger, which was ok, but as made of thigh not so good with texture. Did taste nice. Chicken wing starters were amazing! Cocktails good too. Would I return, I wouldn’t rush back sadly.
