The Story

About El Pollo Rico.

We've been making tacos the way our abuela taught us since 1998. Same recipes, same hands, same comal. We're not the fancy place — we're the one your tío takes you to.

Best tacos I've had north of the border.
— Austin regulars
"The al pastor here ruined me for every other taco in town."
— Maria L.
"Family-owned, no shortcuts, and the salsas slap."
— Daniel R.
