My husband and I came in for lunch on a weekend, and we were super impressed! We had them once before at a friend's house as takeout and remember it being good, but this was even better than we remembered. The chicken was flavorful and fresh, with great sauces and delicious ways to enjoy it. Tacos, salad, and rice bowl were all delicious, but the nachos were definitely one of the show stoppers for us. I think I'll be dreaming about it! Couldn't have asked for a better meal, and the staff were friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We will absolutely be back!

El Pollo Guapo, absolutely great find. The food is seriously legit, great flavors, nice portion and fresh. El Pollo Guapo is the perfect fusion of down home cooking (Spanish style) rotisserie chicken and a sensible diners favorite food…. Tacos! They serve bowls and savory sides as well. Service was good, great area to walk before or after. Enjoy!

One of my favorite spots in CT. I wish they were more places (*cough* Boston *cough*). Sadly I can only get them when I'm visiting CT. The dazed and confused bowl is so freaking good, and I pretty much get it every time. However, they've broadened their menu, so I may just have to try something new one of these days since it all looks fantastic.

We went here to get dinner to go and I had the beef taco. My son wanted dinner from here for his birthday because he wanted to eat healthy and so he got a half of a rotisserie chicken. The food was good and the staff was friendly.

Wow wow wow Full transparency, at first glance the prices kind of caught my eye. Nothing crazy but more than a trip to Taco Bell. But then we opened our boxes and BOOM, worth it!! And then the first bites and we’ve been sold for life (Taco Bell who?) The portions are beyond expectation so you get your moneys worth hands down. Presentation is amazing. Flavor is incredible. There’s some sort of lemon pop to the sweet potato wedges that just works so well. We will be back !!!

I tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. I am impressed!! I got the Dazed and Confused Bowl with rice. It was OMG DELICIOUS!!! The crispy Brussels sprouts were perfection, the caramelized onions and seared mushrooms with the queso fresco! YUM. And the chicken! So tender, juicy and flavorful. It was very filling and satisfying. I really enjoyed the citrus aioli. I can't wait to order from here again. Highly recommend trying.

So, this has honestly been the best chicken we have had since we were in Peru. Everything delicious, and employees are awesome! Even with our crazy kid. This is an absolute must!
