El Pollo Rico Express #6

Great traditional and authentic tacos and phenomenal burritos! Their carne asada is cooked to perfection and really shines in all their dishes. Generous portion sizes and refreshing agua frescas. Fully recommend trying El Pollo Rico!

This is usually one of the best places to get carne asada in Austin. Very good burritos and carne asada tacos. Their meat doesn't have sinew in it like so many others, so that's why I come here. Their charcoal chicken is also super good and worth trying. They marinate the meats well, and everything is seared hot and fast. You won't find any grey steamed or boiled meat here, it's all genuinely well seared with intense flavour. My only complaint is the consistency of portions. I have found that the sizes of their burritos range wildly, some days it's a good size and others it's shocking how small it is. I've gone a few times where the burrito was smaller than a $1 frozen burrito from a supermarket. Being that the prices are quite high I'd expect greater consistency.

The most flavorful chicken you will ever eat. NOT overly spicy, just charcoal grilled FLAVOR!
Other menu items look good too, but realistically I can't imagine myself getting anything other than the chicken.

The charcoal chicken is killer! Can’t wait to try their Carne Asada. Lightning fast and tasty - so glad to have them in the area.

This place is lit. The burrito at this place was great. The ingredients were fresh, preparation was fast, and the facility was clean. Highly recommended! No photos because I was hungry 😂
