Pollos El Junior

Excellent chicken! We tried the chiltepin chicken and it was quite spicy but so delicious! If you’re not as much as a fan of spicy food as we are you might want to try the ranchero but if you’re up for some real kick get the chiltepin.
Absolutely incredible flavor and perfectly cooked.
Chicken was moist, tender, and fall off the bone.
Will definitely return for more!

So I stumbled on this spot after driving to El Pollo Rey and finding it closed.
I took a chance on a smaller, little known gem and I'm so glad I did! The chicken is moist, tender, and magnificently seasoned.
The skin isn't very crispy because it's more smoked than grilled.
But the star of the show? THE RIBS.
Dios Mio! Listen, I ate the ribs with no sauce and barely chewed...
they were tender, seasoned, caramelized and smoked to perfection.
The sauce that comes with is unlike any bbq I've ever tasted.
(I actually put it on my chicken, though because the other sauce was a little spicy for me.) The owner welcomed me in on this hot 4th of July--he was warm, friendly and proud of his skills.
And sir, you should be! Your ribs are FYAH! Ya'll can bring these ribs to your cookout and people will want to know whose uncle was on the pit...
yes, that good.
:) You can buy the ribs by the pound and a whole or 1/2 chicken.
I'm not really a sides girl, but the rice, beans, sauce and tortillas that come with your meal are tasty, too.
I could feel the love in every bite.
I live in Lees Summit, but I'll make the drive back there any day!

OMG! This place is FANTASTIC! A small apparently family owned business.
Their dinners come with a whole or half chicken.
Get the whole chicken! I got carryout as usual for me and am really into Mexican food, hitting dozen of spots for decades in KC.
This place has some unique flavors and sauces that I have never had before.
For example, their guacamole has a slightly sweet lime taste.
You have to try this.
Wood fired grille does chicken and ribs.
Just falls off the bone.
It's truly unique, very nice family and they deserve the business.
Plenty of parking for carryout, although may need more as time goes on.
I'm still high from that dinner.
Seriously! 😎
