It is not a traditional restaurant where you go in, order, and enjoy the food and surroundings. NOPE! They don't announce it but it is strictly drive thru. It's in the farmland of San Bonito. Way out of the way but the continuous line of cars effectively says it must be good food. We'll never know as we only eat indoors. Too hot to be out...we're not Texans even after 19 years living here. You all enjoy it there, we never will.
Great tasting food & reasonable prices. $11 Half Chicken plate w/ rice & beans and drink. 👍🏽👍🏽
Review for Pollos Asados El Vecino - A Masterclass in Theft and Deceit I am writing this review from a place of sheer disbelief and anger. My experience at Pollos Asados El Vecino wasn't just bad service; it was a calculated, brazen act of robbery and lies. From the moment I approached the window, something felt off. The woman taking my order was dismissive and rushed. I ordered a standard meal. When she quoted me a price that was 5 dollars more then what the menu board stated, I politely pointed out the discrepancy. That's when the horror began. She looked me dead in the eye and insisted the price was correct because she had "added extra rice and beans." I had asked for no such thing. I repeated, calmly but firmly, that I ordered only the standard meal, no additions. Her response? A cold, defiant shrug. "That's what you're getting charged for." She blatantly lied to my face to justify an overcharge of almost $6. When I refused to back down and asked for a manager or a correction, her demeanor turned from dismissive to openly hostile. She muttered in Spanish (assuming I didn't understand), finalized the transaction at the inflated price without my consent, and shoved the receipt and food at me with a contemptuous sneer. The food itself was okay at best—dry chicken, flavorless beans—but that's almost beside the point. The point is I was cheated, deliberately and knowingly, by a staff member who invented a lie to steal money. This establishment does not operate on good faith. It operates on a strategy of seeing what they can get away with, hoping customers are too non-confrontational or confused to fight back. They are not mistakes; they are scams. Do not give these people your money. You are not paying for food; you are funding their deceptive practices and rewarding them for treating honest customers with contempt and fraud. The "Vecino" (neighbor) in their name is a sick joke. A neighbor doesn't look you in the eye, lie, and pick your pocket. Pollos Asados El Vecino: Where the only thing more overdone than the chicken is the price, fabricated through sheer dishonesty. Save yourself the frustration and the cash. Go literally anywhere else.
