Drove by the old Sonic that’s been a “coming soon” Pollo Rico forever and it’s lit up like an airport runway and open for business. Everything is spelled right on the sign, too.

    Anyone ever been to el pollo regio in DFW? Is there anything like it here specifically that red marinade chicken with the salsa bar and chips.

    “Come son” one way, “Come sun” the other way.

    But seriously glad to see this finally open. The sonic closed forever ago.

    Dude wear a bullet proof vest if you go there. Pro tip- door dash it and don’t get shot

    Got some food there a few days ago. Pretty , pretty good.

  5. Hell yes. Please tell me that fried seafood place next door is still there too. Either way, better than having an abandoned sonic with a random couch and trash pile just sitting there. Now, real food. Actually good food, plus all the sides, and cheap? Yes.

    i’ve never lived here while this was open and this feels wrong to me

  7. Why did most of the Sonics in Austin close? Around the time that one closed like 3 other did too.

    Four chicken spots in a row… Popeyes, El Pollo Rico, Terry Chicken and Seafood and Bussin Boys in the parking lot

    lived in Austin nearly 20 years and i haven’t been yet. What makes Pollo Rico great?

    Cool to see this finally open. I typically get my chicken at Pollos Asados El Norteño on the other side of 183 off 969. Has anyone had both and can compare?

    We have one in Manor, the carne asada is pretty good! The pollo is also very tasty.
