Just like show and tell in class , I can’t wait to share with you this amazing place: One place of delicious chicken with so reasonable price . 4 pieces of chicken combo cost $11 . I get coleslaw, potato salad with drink. Amazingly , this is the most flavourful chicken I ever had . Juicy in side and crispy outside . The flavour is in both skins as well as the savouring juicy meat . The side dishes taste like named restaurant dishes . The restaurant are cooking this wonderful chicken and side dishes with love , patience . Park is limited and don’t park in Starbuck parking lot . Can you smell the chicken yet? A year later , every time, I am in town , El Pollo Unico is my first choice for food. On this particular day, I was early and waited outside for food. The owner opened the door early before the scheduled open time . How sweet is that ?

The food was great. Best pollo in Pasadena for the buck. They had kiosks so no need to wait in line.

I used to frequent this restaurant when they were across the street. I haven’t been there in several years and I just went over the weekend and it was just as good as I remember. The potato salad is super delicious, no other chicken restaurant can beat the prices, eight piece combo with two very large sides and tortillas less than $25.

Pollo Unico is hands down my favorite Chicken spot in all of LA! The chicken is amazing every time and we come here a lot! It’s always juicy and has the best flavor. I don’t know what they season it with but it’s too good. Their hot salsa is incredible too, very flavorful! If you’re in the mood for good chicken, Pollo Unico is your spot!

Called the restaurant to tell them there were no tortillas in my delivery order those Postmates. I was told they never, never forgot to put the tortillas in any order. Well, they did. To resolve this, I could go pick up an order or tortillas, I was offered double tortillas in my next order, or $2 credit for my next order. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER MESSING UP MY ORDER.

Some of the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. I love coming here, I’m here almost weekly. I would come a few times a week if I could! Definitely try it if you enjoy chicken. Very good food and great staff! Affordable and delicioso combos!

Never really eaten inside, but I swear this chicken is better than El Pollo Loco. More flavor and always nice to support a local small business.

Good food, but VERY ABUSIVE owners, he posts help wanted, uses guys looking for work to clean grease filters, no breaks are given, pays them cash, but under pays, says he’ll call back for employment. and never does til is time to clean filters again. He should be using a qualified filters cleanings company and not taking advantage of people looking for work!

Juicy, flavorful chicken at a great price. Great place to grab a healthy dinner plate for under $10 (including tip). The coleslaw and corn is delicious as well as the corn tortillas. Recommend using the kiosk at peak rush times, I was in and out!

Food is really good. Only down fall is they stop cooking chicken before close time. Make sure you call ahead.
