Pollo chicken food truck lands in Clifton storefront

Topped with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños and banana peppers, Pollo's chicken stir fry plate has plenty of juicy roast chicken and steaming rice beneath.

“From food truck to brick and mortar. A dream has come true!” With palpable joy, Troy King and Selena Johnson, the owners of the Pollo food truck and Shelby Park’s popular Six Forks Burger Co., announced on social media last month that Pollo has landed in a Clifton storefront.

Pollo – or “Pollo - a gourmet chicken joint” if you want to be formal about it – has been a familiar sight around town with its rolling quarters in an old, short school bus painted dark gray.

Appealing pricing makes Pollo one of the best deals around, with no entree more than $9.95 (for fried wings). The bottom end of the price range lands at a thrifty $6.50 (for fried chicken tenders or tamales smothered with queso blanco and Monterey Jack) ...
