Starting life as a takeaway chicken shop, this local favourite has transformed over the years and now offers so much more than just chicken. With a wide range of tasty burgers, wraps, gourmet salads and somewhat unexpectedly, empanadas, we often drop in for a quick meal or snack. Getting together with a few friends, we were able to sample more than our regular order of the Pollo Burger, Portuguese style chicken and empanadas. The empanadas are always a highlight; golden pastry filled morsels oozing with chicken and mushroom or beef and mushroom, plus spicier versions for the chilli lovers with one including spicy chicken and chorizo. Definitely a must-try!The various chicken dishes we had – Marinated chicken with smoky BBQ and chilli, Portuguese style chicken and Smoky BBQ chicken ribs – were succulent and finger-licking good, and were nicely complemented by the salads and fries. The salad bar offers a fabulous variety ranging from tabbouleh to Greek salad and hearty and healthy brown rice and quinoa salad.Thanks to Il Pollo for the always awesome food and warm hospitality.Good times with The Next Rush Thewhereto Coco And Vine
Homely, cosy, hearty meals that revolve around chicken. From Rotisserie chickens to gourmet wraps, burgers and salads, it was a great catchup with some old friends in a nice casual vibe.

Recently underwent a renovation and the place looks great. The burgers and wraps are always a hit. For the health conscious there is great range of gourmet salads and low fat options such as the grilled tenderloins. They have invested in a new oven which results in the most succulent, juicy and perfecy marinated chicken you can imagine. The house made sauces are the bomb! But you can’t go past the empanadas. A must try!
This is a nice little chicken shop located on the main strip competing with many other eateries. We chose this place because we wanted to try the chicken. The chicken was average and the burger was pretty good. The size of the regular chips were quite bigger than expected but the prices are a bit high for the what you get. Service was good though.
Kinda like Oporto but better. The Big Pollo lives up to the name. It’s Big and it’s Pollo. Google translate tells me that means Big Chicken and that makes sense coz it’s got lots of chicken. 3 chickens. Not whole chickens but pieces of chickens. Big, thick pieces of chickens. Each piece is at least twice as thick as an Oporto piece of chicken. #thick the chips are pretty good too but the chip box itself wasn’t very sturdy and I picked it up from the table and it kinda collapsed and some chips went on the floor. The schnitzel burger was also pretty good but the Big Pollo was better.
Chicken is always a hit or miss. Sometimes is really dry and then other times it’s so beautifully succulent and juicy.There empanadas are the bomb! They’re absolutely amazing! So are there range of salads. And they have really amazing old school burgers. Never change your chilli sauce recipe! It’s perfect! This restaurant is ALWAYS clean. I’ve never seen anything out of place. Staff are always smiling and friendly too.
Around 6:30 on a Sunday afternoon we visited for dinner , the restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. I ordered the back to basics chicken roll meal for $11.90, the service was quick and the serving size was generous. The chicken was good not too dry, but there wasn’t enough Mayo so the taste was pretty bland, and the Portuguese flavour wasn’t there as promised. The chips were so-so some were really good but some were dry and hard to eat. For the price I paid I would have expected a little bit more quality, but as it was one of the only restaurants open on the street people must be coming back. They had a good variety to choose from and even a fresh juice bar at the end. From my experience I probably won’t be coming back.
