El Pollo Rico is a hidden gem in Raleigh! 🌟 The atmosphere is casual and cozy, perfect for enjoying a quick bite or a leisurely meal. I highly recommend the grilled chicken and carne azada - both packed with flavor and served in generous portions. The sides of plantains and charro beans are a must, especially with that extra avocado! 🥑

The staff is friendly, and the prices won’t break the bank. Plus, it’s a great spot to catch a game. Whether for lunch or dinner, you won’t leave hungry! Can’t wait to go back! 😊
