Pollo Picante - Mesa

This is outstanding street-style Mexican cuisine, specifically Sonora style. I immediately recognized the flavor of the chicken as soon as I tasted it. Grilled over 100% mesquite coal, it has an incredible taste. We ordered a whole chicken, which comes with two sides of tortillas and salsa. It was more than enough for our family of four, and there were leftovers! We also tried two Carne Asada Tacos, which were the best I’ve had in the valley—better than those at Hinterhof Tacos, trust me. We even indulged in dessert. The total for our meal? Just $27! I highly recommend this place.

This place is like Pollen Lucas in Rocky Point BUT BETTER! I can't find another place that grilled this kind of chicken over a mesquite firewood. The macaroni and beans are a must on your tacos. Salsa Bar is high quality with legit tasty Guacamol sauce. And I think they also have cactus salsa. Half a chicken meal will feed two people, but it will not get you filled.

For what it is, it's a good place. The chicken is really good and tasteful. The grill in the back always goes so that it is nice to see the flame that makes it magic. The tacos are really good, highly recommended. The chicken is the best, the pig is the runner up and the Asada would be my last choice. It's called "pollo picante" for a reason. The chicken is really the star here. I usually order the Taco combo. Also the vampiro combo is good. They serve chili, cucumber and picked onions with the meal and they are the perfect compliment to the tacos. I never ordered the Burritos here, but they are available. Order before time because they take forever. And even if you preorder, they still take forever.

Wow, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! The food is amazing, the customer service is excellent, and the music is fantastic. I always come here when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. The flavors remind me of my own barbecue, and the salsa tastes just like what my mom or aunt would make. This place is truly outstanding!

Simply put the food here is incredible, as soon as you enter you are welcomed by the scent of the most perfectly chargrilled chicken you could ever hope for. Tacos are fantastic (pollo and carne asada but the half chicken is the way to go (you know it's amazing when locals are taking photos to show off to their friends.
