I'm on the Yummy Pollo train, too! After just touching down at the airport a couple of hours ago after a week's vacation with disappointing food (thanks for being overpriced out of my budget, SF Bay area restaurants!) I really did not want to cook dinner on top of unpacking and getting the pets re-settled and son off to football camp. So I swung by YP to give it a try. The sign on the door said they closed at 6:30, and it was 6:35 when I walked in (hey, the OPEN sign was still on!). Several others followed behind me in the 15 minutes that followed and the owner never said a word about closing up or locking the door. Very friendly service, and the chicken looked amazing in. I originally planned to order a 1/4 dark meal, but when the guy in front of me got a whole one, I decided it looked too good to pass up. So I came home with a whole chicken, pasta salad, yucca fries, the two sauces (cilantro-jalapeno, which has good flavor but no heat, and a garlic-mayo one), and two dulce de lecha cookies. The yucca fries were cooked fresh, I actually had to wait for them, but they don't seem to travel well so I wouldn't order those again. The pasta salad is fine, but let's be real. The star of the show is the amazing chicken. I'm hooked! I definitely won't be able to go back to Kroger deli rotisserie chicken after this!
