Found this place on YouTube and walked 30 min to find it. I did it again two days later. The chicken is so well charred and seasoned, there is nothing better you will find for 150 pesos anywhere. This is where locals go. It’s not...about the service or decor, just good food.More
There's only two options to order from: a whole chicken or a half chicken. But that's all you'll need and they'll bring it out to you in less than 2 minutes, because they keep the chickens cooking constantly over the biggest grill you've ever seen...in your life. You get a huge stack of tortillas or a plate of rice with it. Whatever you want. All for $5 for the half chicken or $8 for the whole. One of the best meals and deals you can get in Playa del Carmen. I lived in Playa del Carmen for 5 months last year and ate here multiple times a week. I just came back to PDC for a short trip and it was one of the first places I went.More
Unbelievable chicken fresh hot and a great price. Limited menu but worth every penny. Drinks chicken, tortillas, rice, stewed tomatoes. Fantastic
When you need to let your wallet cool down a bit, head to Asadero el Pollo for lunch! At $90 Mxn for half a roasted chicken, or $170 Mxn for a whole roasted bird, you can't go wrong! Did I mention those prices include four...sides? Well, I just did. The pollo is flavorful, the arroz is plentiful, and the other sides help fill up the handful of fresh corn tortillas that go with every meal. To go or to stay. Same price. Same friendly faces helping you out.More
Great experience and fantastic chicken. The place is a no frills joint that does chicken and they do it well at an amazing price. We had the 1/2 chicken dinner and it was more than enough for the 2 of us and for 90 pesos...one of the best deals in Playa. The service wasn't the friendliest around.More
The chicken served here is top notch. You get tortillas and pickled onions with your order. The chicken is moist & grilled to perfection. One of my go-to restaurants, every time we're in PDC. Haven't found chicken back home that tastes better than Asadero El...Pollo.More
One of the first places I hit when I get to town! Hot, fresh, and quick service, I love the pickled onions too. I always order extra so I have leftovers at the condo. Reasonably-priced as well!
We visited this place in search of good and unexpensive food and were just overwhelmed by how great this place was. The portions (half a chicken or the whole bird for 90/140$ respectively) were giant and with onion, salsa and rice for free. No wonder...the locals eat here as they simply know better. Just be warned that the joint closes at 6pm. Let the feast begin!!!More
So economical dare I say down right cheap for an American. They now have a baked potato w/ crema it makes the meal COMPLETE so good! And 1 potato is definitely enough for 2 maybe even 3 people. And it’s not good because it’s cheap...it’s good because the food is genuinely delicious.More
Delicious 🐓 Very fast and friendly service. Closed at six but they still let us in at 5:30. Inexpensive as well, you'll feed two or three people for 200 pesos.
Every time we have been in Playa we stop here at least once for a wonderful meal. Very tasty grilled chicken. You get a whole chicken with all the fixin's for less than $7USD. Pickled onions, flavored rice, salsa and tortillas. If you haven't been...here get your butt in here you don't know what your missing!More
A tasty grilled chicken, all the fixings, 130 MXD. Why say more. Eat in or take away. Restaurants / food vendors get so much better in Playa when you get a few blocks from 5th Avenue.
We were wandering the streets of Playa Del Carmen and stubbled on this GEM! We loved it so much we had it 3 days in a row for lunch! Not joking. Its is a 1/2 or full chicken grilled over hot hardwood coals and it...is so moist, so tasty and so delicious. The decor is basic we opted to take out each time and took it to a bar called "karen's" on 5th street that would allow us to bring food. and we had margaritas there. This Chicken place I cannot recommend it enough. We took all the sauces and the tomatoe thing they give you in plastic bags and poured it all over the chicken and let it soak up the taste and ate it with the tacos. The remaining juice we put rice in and ate that all up too. it was at the time 80 pesos for a 1/2 chicken and more than enough for 2 people. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! will go back again and again. its so tasty.More
We got there around 3pm, and there was a 20 minute wait, but it was well worth it. Great chicken. The green salsa was super spicy. You can't beat the price or quality of the food. GOOGLE THE DIRECTIONS BECAUSE TRIPADVISOR GIVES BAD DIRECTIONS.
The group of 8 of us ordered 3 whole grilled chickens for $130MXD each. So that works out to $2.50 USD per person, with leftovers. We got the chickens to go, and brought it back to our Airbnb, and were not disappointed in how tasty...the food is. They are very generous with the tortillas, and the accompanying sauces were excellent. Be warned, the brown sauce is very spicy. The guys who work the grill are a riot and a bunch of fun. I would come back here the next time in PdC.More
