Pollo Loco Churrasqueria - Vaughan, Ontario

portions are huge and the owner was really nice!

This is a good place for Portuguese style chicken. I’ve been here a few times and compared to other options in the area, I would rank it 3rd. It quickly goes down in rankings the further from Vaughan Mills you go. Chicken is ok, but lack spicy and sauce. The potatoes are ... soft, but dry. The place is easy to access and is across from Wonderland. Service is nice, but nothing special. Read more

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Portuguese-style Churrasqueira chicken restaurant, look no further than Pollo Loco. From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted with the tantalizing aroma of perfectly grilled chicken and savoury spices that will have your taste buds tingling with anticipation. The star of the ... menu at Pollo Loco is undoubtedly their mouth-watering Portuguese-style Churrasqueira chicken. Each succulent piece is doused in Peri Peri sauce to perfection in a special blend of herbs and spices, then grilled over an open flame until it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. But it's not just the chicken that makes Pollo Loco a must-visit spot. Their sides are just as delicious as the main attraction. The perfectly seasoned potatoes are roasted to a crisp on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside. And the rice is perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the star of the show. The service at Pollo Loco is also top-notch. What also blew me away was there wasn't an option to tip when cashing out your order. I asked the person behind the counter and they acknowledged they bypassed the tips. Overall, if you're looking for an authentic and delicious Portuguese style chicken in Vaughan/Maple, this is the place to get it. Read more

Average chicken that was a bit dry (overcooked/heated) and sitting in a pool of oil. Look at the pic. I think it's best experienced with rice and potatoes, but great chicken doesn't need to have sides. At least they are not overpriced as $11 for a half chicken is reasonable.

Food - I have been going here since I was in High School, over 10+ years ago. This place has staying power, and the reason is because of its food and fantastic prices. They offer chicken, with rice and potatoes, which I always get. I appreciate they offer two types ... spicy and non-spicy. It is savoury, yummy, and filling. I always come back once in a while, and the quality is always the same. Service: The owner is often there, and it's family-owned. They are always sweet, quick, and professional. I also low-key love when they call me hun. Ambience: There is no seating. It's meant for takeout. However, I do love the touches of the family. Accessible - There is accessible parking. Getting in you is a tight fit, but not bad. Overall, it is a true hole-in-the-wall gem in Vaughan. Right across from Wonderland, it won't disappoint. They also aren't on Uber Eats! Read more
