Reviews for El Pollo Guapo in Newington, CT
(moved to main street Newington) Ground Beef Taco and a Sweet Chilli Chicken Taco, I added the Sarachi Aoli sauce,... Outstanding!!!! So I went back here yesterday after work, I was craving the awesome tacos I had here originally and after myterrible experience at the Glastonbury location, I needed my El Pollo Guapo fix, and again, a great experience. I got 2 sweetchilli chicken tacos and one ground beef w/ 2 sides of the Sriracha aoli sauce, to go. So yummy!! I spoke with the ManagerCharlie, I believe that is his name, sorry if I got it wrong, and he was just a breath of fresh air, very concerned with thesatisfaction of the customer, great job Charlie, thank you. Go here people, you will be glad you did!! Last pic is from to gosweet chili chicken I took to go, perfect!! I went back again to the New Newington location and got the "Dan that's a SpicyTaco", a Banh Mi Taco and a Ground beef taco. Look at how stuffed they are!! They're the best. New pics attached.

Wow wow wow Full transparency, at first glance the prices kind of caught my eye. Nothing crazy but more than a trip to Taco... Bell. But then we opened our boxes and BOOM, worth it!! And then the first bites and we?ve been sold for life (Taco Bellwho?) The portions are beyond expectation so you get your moneys worth hands down. Presentation is amazing. Flavor isincredible. There?s some sort of lemon pop to the sweet potato wedges that just works so well. We will be back !!! Read more
I absolutely LOVE this place!!!! I?m vegan snd get the Dazed snd confused bowl. They substituted the meat for my choice of... something else!!! The Dazed and Confused bowl has a flavorful rice as a base, fried plantains,pico de Gallo, sauté mushrooms,delicious crispy Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, as well as a cilantro, chili lime sauce that?s out of this world!

It wasn't the best. My chicken was a little burnt, my brussel sprouts were extra burnt and the sautéed onions weren't really... sautéed. They were more on the raw side and gave me a strong onion breath which my wife wasn't hesitant about pointing out. Ifyou buy it on ubereats etc It's more expensive than if you simply buy it directly from the store. No, I'm not talking about thedelivery or convenience costs, the item is actually priced higher on the apps. Compared to other bowls It's not worth theprice. I had two different bowls and I didn't e joy either. Read more
I?ve always gotten great service and delicious food from here. My favorites are the rice bowls (literally any of them or build... your own), the roasted corn, and bag of chickpeas. My takeout orders have always been warm and flavorful. Read more
Awesome chicken restaurant with multiple locations in the Hartford area. I love the variety of menu items, everything is good!... My favs are the dazed and confused bowl, the roasted Brussel sprouts, and most recently the nachos. The chips are cooked freshin the restaurant and nachos are stacked with toppings. Would pick this over chipotle or Boston market any day! Read more
Blink and you'll miss this hidden gem on the Berlin Turnpike. Really friendly and fast service. Chicken Empanada is filled to... the max with chicken. There are no empty air spaces inside. The Spicy Taco is bursting with flavor. Lots of chicken combinedwith grilled corn, pickled onions and a spicy slaw makes a perfect taco. The spice/heat level is just right. You can say itleaves your lips tingling for about 5 minutes. They also have a full selection of Hosmer Mountain sodas. This place isfantastic for authentic and fleshly prepared food! Read more
This place is literally the best and I can?t get enough! I always get one of the rice bowls, and the blend of textures and... flavors, and the quality of everything, makes this place an easy choice! Two recommendations that might not seem obvious: 1.Their nachos are ridiculously good. I?m not sure how they cook their chips, but covered in sauce and toppings they somehow stayvery crispy even after a 20 minute ride home. 2. GET THE BROWNIE. Seriously good, super dense, easily in my top brownies evereaten. Read more
