The other photos hooked my interest, and I am happy to report the experience exceeded my expectations! The chicken was delicious and the portions were very generous. I got a half chicken, which was almost too much to eat on my own. It would probably be great for two people to share. The sides were also very well done. I enjoyed the pinto beans and potatoes. The tortillas were unexpectedly delicious, and the salsa bar was actually decadent instead of feeling like an afterthought! Inside and out, there was plenty of good seating available. I'd recommend this place for eating on your own, with friends and family, or for a date!

Small space inside but plenty of dog friendly patio and some shade. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and the pinto beans were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked. The house sauces... amazing. I couldn’t pick one I liked better. The rice... dry and old. I could tell it had once had amazing flavor... when it was fresh. But, the rest of the meal and service was enough to keep it at 5 Stars. Will be back to enjoy the patio this summer!

My daughter and I are very sensitive gluten intolerant and we were so happy to discover this restaurant. Everything is naturally gluten free besides the beer. My daughter had the green bowl and I had the pozole. Both were delicious. The pozole was a different take on pozole than I’ve had before but it was really tasty. I also had a margarita and it was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Alisha Morton

Wanted to check out the chicken at Pollo Norte because I wanted chicken that wasn’t fried for a change (and maybe a little healthier too). The quarter bird over cabbage was disappointing. Dark meat doesn’t have any excuse to be anything less than dripping juicy, but the leg and thigh here was not that. The seasoning on the skin was just fine. The bed of cabbage under the chicken was mushy and forgettable. The Cole slaw I actually quite enjoyed as it was fresh and bright. Overall I can’t say it was worth the $17 which seems very steep for what you’re getting.
