Pollos Asados Los Norteños

We were looking for a new local place for dinner for 9 and decided we'd give it a shot.

The outside and inside are nothing to write home about, but don't be fooled by that.

Their menu is very simple - meat (chicken, sausage with bacon. Fajita and two other types. Rice, charro beans, pico, corn tortillas, guacamole. Very simple.

We ordered two of the grande dinner, each of which easily feeds 4. We ordered the fajita and the other meat. Each came with a whole chicken (cut-up), 8 corn tortillas, 4 orders of rice; 4 orders or charro beans, pico, and amazing green sauce.

The meats had an amazing flavor - all of them! Perfectly seasoned and prepared. Everything was great! The sausage with bacon was unique and very good.

I'm not a big Mexican rice guy - usually just a filler without much taste. This rice was very flavorful and I ate my whole serving. The beans had a great flavor and I ate all of them.

I'm a flour tortilla guy - but they only have corn, so I wasn't thrilled - but the corn tortillas were very soft and moist and the flavor was good but not overpowering!

The green sauce was really good! I'm a red sauce guy but they only have green sauce. I was admittedly initially disappointed - but that green sauce was truly amazing.

The staff were all friendly and attentive. We will absolutely go back again now that we've found this hidden gem!!

I was in line for one lunch spot when i discovered this spot randomly so made planes to come for second lunch here - and even while my stomach was pretty full, Pollo Asados hits. We were seated quickly and food came in short order.

The chicken is delicious - great flavor and moist throughout where even the breast was a hot commodity. The green salsa is a must - lather it as you see fit. Tortillas tasted house made and charro beans were real delicious. Horchata solid too and real smooth.


Highly recommend. Parking lot in back

Amazing place with some great food and an excellent green sauce that is awesome!! And some sweet tea that is well worth the drive!!

Their food is sooooo good! Their chicken is tender and full of flavor! This place is in an old building on Rigsby, but it doesn't matter. The quality of food and service is what counts. Every time I have been here, they have been soooo efficient in seating and serving customer. Once they seat you, the waitresses brings out our drinks and shortly thereafter brings out our food.
I live way on the north side of town but will travel to other areas for good food and service.

OMG. visiting San Antonio and just needed a place to eat. I typed in "local Favorite " restaurants into Google maps and sorted by distance. This place came up. The 4 of us gringos would NEVER have picked this very authentic Mexican restaurant on our own. We would not have even recognized it as a place to eat if we just drove by. And to be honest it looked a little to authentic, but once in the door, we knew we had found a gem. Wonderful food, best chicken ever. Great staff. Highly recommend this place.

What an awesome spot to find. Local favorite and now mine! The food is fresh and fast served. The pictures do it no justice. And for desert I recommend the flan de queso. The service is impressive. So nice and friendly. I will definitely visit again when back in San Antonio.

Terrific Parrilladas. I look forward to coming back and getting the half/whole chicken.

They came with rice (that tasted like it was cooked in meat stock, very rich), beans, fresh guac and pico de gallo. The parrilladas had a generous ratio of beef to onions and peppers. You could definitely taste the marinade and spices on the steak and I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. Also served with a pile of fresh corn tortillas and a crema sauce. The crema was terrific and obviously freshly made too. This place cuts no corners.

I have asked repeatedly to provide to go orders fresh tortillas. They are to lazy to make them fresh instead they give you hard and cracked down the middle tortillas are very hard on the edges and due to them being cracked you can't even make tacos! Terrible!

I really enjoy stopping by this San Antonio staple when I can. Today, I decided to try a few new items. I went for beef fajitas and a Pina Agua Fresca. The fajitas were super tender and smothered in onions and peppers and served with traditional corn tortillas. They came out steaming! The agua fresca had a striking pineapple flavor .. yum!

The service was fast and spot on.

There is parking in the back. However, this place gets packed.

My only negative was the corn tortillas were ripping apart...hard to make a taco and hold it.

Man.... What can I say!! Had the whole chicken!! It was absolutely delicious the best I've ever had in the states without a doubt!! Very juicy and flavorful. Drove from Hondo to grab lunch!! Will definitely be back!!!
